《Life And Life Only (2007 - Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Life And Life Only - Al Stewart

[00:00:25] Mr Willoughby

[00:00:26] Whose only luxury is the sugar in his tea

[00:00:29] Teaches history at High Worthington School

[00:00:37] His clothing has remained unnoticeably plain

[00:00:40] His common room technique suitably restrained

[00:00:44] Though maybe too cool

[00:00:49] Work done in the summery sun see the cricket ball fly

[00:00:53] Intently like a strange demented bird towards the sun

[00:01:01] Considering its flight he pauses for a while

[00:01:03] Ah but Mr Willoughby we've never seen you smile

[00:01:09] Tell me how come

[00:01:13] Ah but sometimes it must get lonely

[00:01:25] Ah but it's life and life only

[00:01:43] "Maurice " said Renee

[00:01:45] "Why didn't you say that you'd be so late

[00:01:47] The supper that I made is ruined again

[00:01:55] Is there anything you'd like "

[00:01:56] "No nothing" he replied

[00:01:58] Standing by the stairs not looking in her eyes

[00:02:01] So stupidly male

[00:02:08] All dark and lying in bed

[00:02:10] "You've been with her again" She blurts out

[00:02:13] Then turning on her side begins to cry

[00:02:19] At first he doesn't stir but then mumbling his words

[00:02:22] He reaches for her hand she shivers

[00:02:24] But doesn't take it away

[00:02:32] Ah for sometimes it does get lonely

[00:02:44] Ah but it's life and life only

[00:03:01] Oh Smithy Smithers-Bell; clerk from Clerkenwell

[00:03:05] On the beach at Bournemouth thinks he very well

[00:03:08] May be next year in France

[00:03:14] Inspired for a while

[00:03:15] He decides to risk a smile at Mr Willoughby

[00:03:18] Who passes polishing his glasses

[00:03:21] Studiously averting his glance

[00:03:26] Renee several deckchairs away

[00:03:29] Wonders if they would be better

[00:03:32] While Maurice is with the kids out in the sea

[00:03:38] And I was feeling small sitting on the wall

[00:03:40] Looking at them all and wondering who will I be

[00:03:50] Ah but sometimes it does get lonely

[00:04:01] Ah but it's life and life only

[00:04:18] Ah but it's life and life only

[00:04:25] Ah but it's life and life only

[00:04:31] Ah but it's life and life
