《Cardboard City》歌词

[00:00:00] Cardboard City (贫民区) (Live) - Skyclad/Dennis Stratton

[00:00:24] Hands locked in darkness a nocturnal greeting

[00:00:29] We flutter like moths round the brazier's flame

[00:00:35] Shrouded in shadow our clandestine meeting

[00:00:40] Here where past and present are one and the same

[00:00:45] No one dies in Cardboard City

[00:00:48] Faces only fade away

[00:00:50] Eat your pride and take their pity

[00:00:53] Fight to live another day

[00:00:56] And did those feet in ancient times

[00:01:01] Walk bare upon these lonely streets like mine

[00:01:07] Does God that watch us from penthouse high above

[00:01:12] His children down below who live on air and love

[00:01:18] Wrapped in old headlines beneath this shop awning

[00:01:23] I shiver in silence and wait for the morning

[00:01:29] No one cries in Cardboard City

[00:01:31] Faces only fade away

[00:01:34] Eat your pride and take their pity

[00:01:36] Fight to live another day

[00:01:39] No one cries in Cardboard City

[00:01:42] That would be a waste of tears

[00:01:44] Eat your pride and take their pity

[00:01:47] Like you have so many years

[00:02:46] Youth of our nation a lost generation

[00:02:51] Like lepers we march to the chimes of big ben

[00:02:56] Exiled and rejected by powers elected

[00:03:01] Our cries from the gutter don't reach number ten

[00:03:07] Give us this day our daily bread

[00:03:12] Before the headlines read bring out your dead

[00:03:17] Chip wrapper flowers are blown onto this cardboard grave

[00:03:23] My spray paint epitaph upon the wall it says

[00:03:29] Here lie the bones of some poor homeless vagrant

[00:03:34] He died as he lived in the sh*ts on the pavement

[00:03:39] No one dies in Cardboard City

[00:03:42] Faces only fade away

[00:03:44] Eat your pride and take their pity

[00:03:47] Fight to live another day

[00:03:49] No one cries in Cardboard City

[00:03:52] That would be a waste of tears

[00:03:55] Eat your pride and take their pity

[00:03:57] Like you have so many years
