《Al Bowlly’s in Heaven》歌词

[00:00:23] Well we were heroes then and the girls were all pretty

[00:00:33] And a uniform was a lucky charm bought you the key to the city

[00:00:44] We used to dance the whole night through

[00:00:45] While Al Bowlly sang The Very Thought Of You

[00:00:51] Now Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now

[00:00:58] Well I gave my youth to king and country

[00:01:09] But what's my country done for me but sentenced me to misery

[00:01:24] I traded my helmet and my parachute

[00:01:29] For a pair of crutches and a demob suit

[00:01:34] Al Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now

[00:01:45] Hard times hard hard times

[00:01:50] Hostels and missions and dosser's soup lines

[00:01:54] Can't close me eyes on a bench or a bed

[00:01:59] For the sound of some battle raging in my head

[00:02:04] Old friends you lose so many

[00:02:15] You get run around all over town

[00:02:19] The wear and the tear oh it just drives you down

[00:02:25] St Mungo's with it's dirty old sheets

[00:02:30] Beats standing all day down on Scarborough Street

[00:02:35] Al Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now

[00:04:35] Can't stay here you got to foot slog

[00:04:39] Once in a blue moon you might find a job

[00:04:44] Sleep in the rain you sleep in the snow

[00:04:49] When the beds are all taken you've got nowhere to go

[00:04:54] Well I can see me now I'm back there on the dance floor

[00:05:01] Oh with a blonde on me arm red head to spare

[00:05:11] Spit on my shoes and shine in me hair

[00:05:16] And there's Al Bowlly he's up on a stand

[00:05:20] Oh that was a voice and that was a band

[00:05:31] Al Bowlly's in heaven and I'm in limbo now
