[00:00:00] Cygnet Committee (1999 Digital Remaster) - David Bowie (大卫·鲍伊)

[00:00:03] Written by：David Bowie

[00:00:32] I bless you madly sadly as I tie my shoes

[00:00:40] I love you badly just in time at times I guess

[00:00:50] Because of you I need to rest

[00:00:58] Because it's you that sets the test

[00:01:04] So much has gone and little is new

[00:01:12] And as the sparrow sings

[00:01:18] Dawn chorus for

[00:01:22] Someone else to hear

[00:01:27] The thinker sits alone growing older

[00:01:39] And so bitter

[00:01:41] I gave them life

[00:01:43] I gave them all

[00:01:45] They drained my very soul dry

[00:01:52] I crushed my heart to ease their pains

[00:01:56] No thought for me remains there

[00:02:02] Nothing can they spare

[00:02:05] What of me

[00:02:09] Who praised their efforts to be free

[00:02:16] Words of strength and care and sympathy

[00:02:23] I opened doors that would have blocked their way

[00:02:30] I braved their cause to guide for little pay

[00:02:38] I ravaged at my finance just for those

[00:02:44] Those whose claims were steeped in peace tranquility

[00:02:52] Those who said a new world new ways ever free

[00:02:57] Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me

[00:03:18] I bless you madly sadly as I tie my shoes

[00:03:26] I love you badly just in time at times I guess

[00:03:36] Because of you I need to rest oh yes

[00:03:43] Because it's you that sets the test

[00:03:50] So much has gone and little is new

[00:03:58] And as the sunrise stream

[00:04:05] Flickers on me

[00:04:10] My friends talk

[00:04:13] Of glory untold dream where all is god and god is just a word

[00:04:27] We had a friend a talking man

[00:04:31] Who spoke of many powers he had

[00:04:38] Not of the best of men but ours

[00:04:42] We used him

[00:04:43] We let him use his powers

[00:04:48] We let him fill our needs

[00:04:50] Now we are strong

[00:04:55] And the road is coming to its end

[00:05:02] Now the damned have no time to make amends

[00:05:09] No purse of token fortune stands in our way

[00:05:16] The silent guns of love will blast the sky

[00:05:24] We broke the ruptured structure built of age

[00:05:31] Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage

[00:05:38] Where money stood

[00:05:39] Planted we seeds of rebirth

[00:05:45] And stabbed the backs of fathers

[00:05:48] Sons of dirt

[00:05:52] Infiltrated business cesspools

[00:05:55] Hating through our sleeves

[00:05:59] Yea and we slit the catholic throat

[00:06:02] Stoned the poor on slogans such as

[00:06:05] Wish you could hear

[00:06:06] Love is all we need

[00:06:07] Kick out the jams

[00:06:09] Kick out your mother

[00:06:11] Cut up your friend

[00:06:12] Screw up your brother or he'll get you in the end

[00:06:17] And we know the flag of love is from above

[00:06:25] And we can force you to be free

[00:06:28] And we can force you to believe

[00:06:35] And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain

[00:06:38] For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain

[00:06:41] For they knew not the words of the free states' refrain

[00:06:46] It said

[00:06:47] I believe in the power of good

[00:06:49] I believe in the state of love

[00:06:53] I will fight for the right to be right

[00:06:57] I will kill for the good of the fight for the right to be right

[00:07:04] And I open my eyes to look around

[00:07:09] And I see a child laid slain on the ground

[00:07:18] As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows

[00:07:25] Ploughing down man woman listening to its command

[00:07:30] But not hearing anymore

[00:07:33] Not hearing anymore

[00:07:40] Just the shrieks from the old rich

[00:07:48] And I want to believe

[00:07:52] In the madness that calls now

[00:07:55] And I want to believe

[00:07:59] That a light's shining through

[00:08:00] Somehow

[00:08:02] And I want to believe

[00:08:06] And you want to believe

[00:08:09] And we want to believe

[00:08:13] And we want to live

[00:08:16] Oh we want to live

[00:08:20] We want to live

[00:08:24] We want to live

[00:08:27] We want to live

[00:08:31] We want to live

[00:08:34] We want to live

[00:08:38] I want to live

[00:08:42] I want to live

[00:08:45] I want to live

[00:08:49] I want to live

[00:08:53] I want to live

[00:08:56] I want to live

[00:09:01] Live

[00:09:05] Live

[00:09:08] Liiive
