《Middle-Class Heroes》歌词

[00:00:00] Middle-Class Heroes - The Divine Comedy

[00:00:02] Hello

[00:00:03] What have we here

[00:00:05] A young lady

[00:00:07] To what do I owe this pleasant surprise

[00:00:10] My pretty one

[00:00:12] How may I be of service this dark and wintry night

[00:00:17] Ah I see

[00:00:19] You wish me to look into the future

[00:00:22] Your future

[00:00:25] After GCSEs A-levels university

[00:00:31] After your first badly paid job in advertising

[00:00:36] Okay my pretty just cross my palm with plastic

[00:00:41] And I'll see what I can do

[00:00:44] Wait

[00:00:45] The fog is lifting

[00:00:47] I see oriental paper globes

[00:00:53] Hanging like decomposing cocoons

[00:01:00] While exotic candles overload

[00:01:06] The dusty air with their stale perfume

[00:01:11] And I see lentils beans seaweed and rice

[00:01:17] In jars on the windowsill

[00:01:24] And it ain't hardly enough to feed the mice

[00:01:29] Running behind the lines of allergy pills

[00:01:37] All these things will come to pass

[00:01:42] When heroes of the middle class

[00:01:48] Face up to their responsibilities

[00:01:59] I see an Indian fertility God

[00:02:06] He's got thirty seven limbs to spare

[00:02:12] And tasteless tie-dyed tablecloths

[00:02:17] That double up as evening wear

[00:02:23] And I see naked bodies twist and turn

[00:02:29] On the futon of dreams fulfilled

[00:02:35] But their three-year-old kid seems unconcerned

[00:02:41] He'd rather swallow all those allergy pills

[00:02:48] All these things will come to pass

[00:02:54] When heroes of the middle class

[00:03:00] Face up today and responsibility

[00:03:17] I see unspeakable vulgarity

[00:03:22] Institutionalised mediocrity

[00:03:25] Infinite tragedy

[00:03:27] Rise up little souls

[00:03:29] Join the doomed army

[00:03:31] Fight the good fight

[00:03:33] Wage the unwinnable war

[00:03:35] Elegance against ignorance

[00:03:37] Difference against indifference

[00:03:40] Wit against sh*t

[00:03:42] My words fly up to heaven

[00:03:48] My thoughts remain below

[00:03:55] Words said without feeling never to heaven go

[00:04:06] Never to heaven go

[00:04:12] Oh never to heaven go

[00:04:18] Never to heaven go

[00:04:42] All these things will come to pass

[00:04:48] When heroes of the middle class

[00:04:54] Face up repent and pay the price

[00:05:00] For accidentally creating life

[00:05:06] An oversight for which they must atone

[00:05:16] And sacrifice their own
