《Cheap Evening Return》歌词

[00:05:30] Daemon had just dropped by to pass the time

[00:05:30] With a peaceful cigarette

[00:05:30] Or maybe with a roll-up filter-tip

[00:05:30] He'd still not made it yet

[00:05:30] Yes, went on down that old cafe

[00:05:30] By the harbour for a little change of view

[00:05:30] Took a seat next to the window

[00:05:30] Like he would like to do

[00:05:30] Saw the fishing boats

[00:05:30] The time children fighting over an ice-cream cone

[00:05:30] And a pack of Camels on the shelf and beach

[00:05:30] Through the rings of smoke he'd blown

[00:05:30] Chimney shadows of the factories

[00:05:30] Grey walls across the floor

[00:05:30] Telegraph-poles and sandy coves

[00:05:30] Running down and alone to the shore

[00:05:30] Yes, and the statue by the quayside

[00:05:30] Of the lancer, once so proud and brave

[00:05:30] All in remembrance of his heroic deeds

[00:05:30] As he lies at peace in his grave

[00:05:30] Yes, in eighteen twenty-four

[00:05:30] Somebody had won a war for sure, he thought

[00:05:30] And there were flags and ribbons waving

[00:05:30] There was feast and celebration, in the air cries of joys

[00:05:30] While outside by a steam-shovel

[00:05:30] Was a child playing with a toy

[00:05:30] Cheap evening return

[00:05:30] Cheap evening return

[00:05:30] Cheap evening return

[00:05:30] Yes, in nineteen thirty-four

[00:05:30] Somebody had lost a war

[00:05:30] There was trial and tribulation

[00:05:30] Oh and the laundry lines with pants that dance

[00:05:30] Shirts flying in the careless breeze

[00:05:30] Overgrown garden-house, glass, doctor, leaves

[00:05:30] Falling from the trees

[00:05:30] Like merging into one, lemmings on the run

[00:05:30] Perhaps should be somewhere else, who could

[00:05:30] Slithering down the sky was candy floss

[00:05:30] The child had tossed it up against the window pane

[00:05:30] And by nineteen something or other

[00:05:30] Yes somebody might like another war

[00:05:30] There could be nothin' left to fight for anymore

[00:05:30] There'll be feast and celebration, in the air cries of joy

[00:05:30] While outside by a little barrel

[00:05:30] Was a child playing with a toy

[00:05:30] Cheap evening return

[00:05:30] Cheap evening return

[00:05:30] Cheap evening return
