《Gates Of The West》歌词

[00:00:00] Gates Of The West - The Clash (撞击乐队)

[00:00:11] I would love to be the lucky one on chill avenue

[00:00:15] Who could keep your heart warm when ice has turned it blue

[00:00:18] But with the beggin' sleeping losers as they turn in for the night

[00:00:21] I'm looking back for home and I can see the lights

[00:00:25] I should be jumpin' shoutin' that I made it all this way

[00:00:28] From Camden town station to 44th and 8th

[00:00:31] Not many make it this far and many say we're great

[00:00:34] But just like them we walk on an' we can't escape our fate

[00:00:37] Can't you hear the sighing

[00:00:43] Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue

[00:00:47] Both say they needed something new

[00:00:49] So I'm standing at the gates of the west

[00:00:52] I burn money at the lights of the sign

[00:00:56] The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime

[00:01:02] I'm standing at the gates of the east

[00:01:05] I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend

[00:01:08] The city casts a shadow will I see you again

[00:01:15] The immigrants an' remnants of all the glory years

[00:01:18] Are clustered around the bar again for another round of beers

[00:01:21] Little Richard's in the kitchen playing spoons and plates

[00:01:24] He's telling the waitress he's great

[00:01:27] Ah say i know somewhere back'n'forth in time

[00:01:30] Out on the dustbowls deep in the roulette mine

[00:01:34] Or in a ghetto cellar only yesterday

[00:01:37] There's a move into the future for the USA

[00:01:43] I hear them crying

[00:01:47] Eastside Jimmy and Southside Sue

[00:01:50] Both said they needed something new

[00:01:53] Standing at the gates of the west

[00:01:55] I burn money at the lights of the sign

[00:01:59] The city casts a shadow of the perfect crime

[00:02:06] I'm standing at the gates of the east

[00:02:09] I take my pulse and the pulse of my friend

[00:02:11] The city casts a shadow will I see you again

[00:02:31] So I'm standing at the gates of the west

[00:02:37] In the shadow again

[00:02:43] I'm standing at the gates of the west

[00:02:50] In the shadow again

[00:02:56] So I'm standing at the gates of the west

[00:03:02] In the shadow again
