《Xmas in February》歌词

[00:00:01] Xmas In February - Lou Reed

[00:00:11] Sam was lyin' in the jungle

[00:00:14] Agent orange spread against the sky like marmalade

[00:00:17] Hendrix played on some foreign jukebox

[00:00:19] They were praying to be saved

[00:00:22] Those gooks were fierce and fearless

[00:00:25] That's the price you pay when you invade

[00:00:28] Xmas in february

[00:00:33] Sam lost his arm in some border town

[00:00:36] His fingers are mixed with someone's crop

[00:00:39] If he didn't have that opium to smoke

[00:00:42] The pain would never ever stop

[00:00:44] Half his friends are stuffed into black body bags

[00:00:47] With their names printed at the top

[00:00:50] Xmas in february

[00:00:55] Sammy was a short order cook

[00:00:58] In a short order black and blue collar town

[00:01:01] Everybody worked the steel mill

[00:01:04] But the steel mill got closed down

[00:01:06] He thought if he joined the army

[00:01:09] He'd have a future that was sound

[00:01:11] Like no xmas in february

[00:01:40] Sam's staring at the vietnam wall

[00:01:42] It's been a while now that he's home

[00:01:45] His wife and kid have left he's unemployed

[00:01:48] He's a reminder of the war that wasn't won

[00:01:51] He's the guy on the street with the sign that reads

[00:01:54] "please help send this vet home"

[00:01:56] But he is home

[00:01:58] And there's no xmas in february

[00:02:01] No matter how much he saves
