《At Madam Plum’s》歌词

[00:00:00] At Madam Plum's - Stephin Merritt

[00:00:09] Just outside this window

[00:00:15] Blood might get on your shoes

[00:00:21] Please don't track it in though

[00:00:26] Thank you

[00:00:29] We've all read the news

[00:00:34] Outside it's drums and trumpets

[00:00:39] But here it's tea and crumpets

[00:00:44] Here at madam plum's

[00:00:46] Where everybody comes

[00:00:49] We watch the world decay

[00:00:51] And dance the night away

[00:00:53] Here at madam plum's

[00:00:55] Their trumpets and their drums

[00:00:57] Are hardly ever heard

[00:00:59] And war is just a word

[00:01:02] It may be raining fire

[00:01:07] But here we don't enquire

[00:01:28] We find it necessary

[00:01:32] To take a spot of sherry

[00:01:36] And so we find a very

[00:01:40] Secluded sanctuary

[00:01:44] Way down in the slums

[00:01:45] We step over the bums

[00:01:47] Behind the liquor store

[00:01:49] To find the hidden door

[00:01:52] Down at madam plum's

[00:01:53] We spend fantastic sums

[00:01:55] And all our idle hours

[00:01:58] Admiring the flowers

[00:02:00] Here at madam plum's

[00:02:02] We grow chrysanthemums

[00:02:04] Of every size and kind

[00:02:06] However you're inclined

[00:02:09] Here at madam plum's

[00:02:11] Where everybody comes

[00:02:13] We watch the world decay

[00:02:15] And dance the night away

[00:02:18] Here at madam plum's

[00:02:19] Their trumpets and their drums

[00:02:22] Are hardly every heard

[00:02:24] And war is just a word
