《Auntie Toothache》歌词

[00:00:00] Auntie Toothache - Stephin Merritt

[00:00:01] Isn't it strange said the inkwell

[00:00:06] All that comes out of me

[00:00:10] The famous lines the valentines And sometimes

[00:00:19] Just think without an inkwell where

[00:00:25] Would the poet be

[00:00:27] I'll make you change your mind

[00:00:30] Said the pen plucked from the tail

[00:00:34] Of a bird

[00:00:37] Those famous lines those valentines

[00:00:41] I wrote them every word

[00:00:46] Without a pen never again would

[00:00:51] Poetry be heard

[00:01:10] Forget the inkwell and the pen

[00:01:12] When auntie toothache comes again

[00:01:14] The poet saddest of all men

[00:01:15] Can sing no more

[00:01:18] When auntie toothache starts her torture

[00:01:20] With her pliers and her lance and her fires

[00:01:22] She desires him to dance

[00:01:25] And so they dance dance dance dance

[00:01:28] Dance dance dance

[00:01:35] And auntie toothache wields her tongs

[00:01:37] And makes her poet sing her songs

[00:01:39] In screams and whimpers till he longs

[00:01:41] To die right now

[00:01:43] Then auntie toothache makes him vow

[00:01:44] (with one more cup of fire ants)

[00:01:47] That he'll give up poetry and take up dance

[00:01:50] And so they dance dance dance dance

[00:01:53] Dance dance dance

[00:02:00] He never writes another line

[00:02:02] His life becomes a valentine

[00:02:03] To auntie toothache and her fine

[00:02:05] Degress of pain

[00:02:08] From lack of sleep he goes insane

[00:02:09] And fancies he's the king of france

[00:02:11] Beset by bees

[00:02:12] Auntie toothache whispers dance

[00:02:15] And so they dance dance dance dance

[00:02:17] Dance dance dance

[00:02:19] And they dance dance dance dance

[00:02:21] Dance dance dance
