《Blondin Makes An Omelette》歌词

[00:00:00] Blondin Makes An Omelette - Gareth Liddiard

[00:00:15] It seems we're all in for a treat

[00:00:19] Staring up out of the street

[00:00:22] And you can tell

[00:00:24] That Joe is really glad

[00:00:26] That he came

[00:00:30] Though downwind of him trails

[00:00:33] A fog of alcohol

[00:00:36] He fails to do

[00:00:38] His best to be indifferent

[00:00:42] All the same

[00:00:45] 'Cause there ain't no shaking the smell

[00:00:49] Like there ain't no shaking the spell

[00:00:54] As Blondin Wirewalker

[00:00:57] Braves the screams

[00:01:00] Well Joe is obviously impressed

[00:01:04] Though he has something to confess

[00:01:08] Above the sound of ten thousand creaking

[00:01:11] Necks all craned

[00:01:15] Joe says

[00:01:16] Alone amongst the beasts and freaks

[00:01:19] I dreamed of tightrope walking

[00:01:23] While I tended Blondin's

[00:01:26] Percherons and trailers

[00:01:30] I'd see him

[00:01:31] Training in the evening

[00:01:34] There was no point trying to speak

[00:01:37] You see I doubted that he'd have

[00:01:40] Time for the strangers

[00:01:45] Who'd be there

[00:01:46] Hoisting the bis big tents

[00:01:49] Be there spying him from their naves

[00:01:53] Staring down on them

[00:01:55] Like batshit in a cave

[00:02:00] Well we hardly even met but see

[00:02:04] I worked for him I thought I'd

[00:02:08] Fill the space he left

[00:02:10] But no I was naive

[00:02:15] Just another sideshow slow I thought

[00:02:19] He knew something I don't

[00:02:23] But it would seem

[00:02:24] All these Wirewalkers have

[00:02:26] Is just the means

[00:02:27] To make you feel so bad

[00:02:35] Man no one

[00:02:36] Cared for him at all

[00:02:39] Until he crossed Niagara Falls

[00:02:43] So you'd all feel

[00:02:45] A little lower down the scale

[00:02:50] And then his fame shot straight and fast

[00:02:54] Right through a gloomy narrow pass

[00:02:58] He chanced through darkness

[00:03:00] Lightning storms

[00:03:01] And into day

[00:03:05] But I ain't here because he's tall

[00:03:09] I'm only here to see him fall

[00:03:12] If I get on the wagon now

[00:03:15] It'll only be to run him down

[00:04:08] It seems we're

[00:04:08] All in for a treat

[00:04:11] Staring up out of the street

[00:04:15] And you can smell

[00:04:17] That Joe's been drinking

[00:04:19] On his breath

[00:04:22] And then the clouds part overhead

[00:04:26] And I make out a silhouette

[00:04:30] Though I'm staring up

[00:04:32] Through a trapdoor

[00:04:34] And I'm waiting to be fed
