《King Solomon’s Song and Mine》歌词

[00:00:00] King Solomon's Song and Mine - Momus

[00:00:12] Solomon took a census

[00:00:14] And we were just passing through

[00:00:16] But his press gang arrested us

[00:00:19] And led us to the quarry two by two

[00:00:22] And now King Solomon

[00:00:25] I'm working for a song in your mine

[00:00:33] Solomon wants a palace and

[00:00:35] A temple for his god Yahweh

[00:00:38] But you and me sweet Alison we get sweet FA

[00:00:43] And now King Solomon

[00:00:46] I'm working for a song in your mine

[00:00:52] You trade our daylight for Turkish Delight

[00:00:55] You trade our fear for euphoria

[00:00:59] But we trade the real for your underground rail

[00:01:02] And your foreman's rules

[00:01:03] O my love let's start a trade union for fools

[00:01:12] The Queen of Sheba visited

[00:01:14] She brought spices and guitars

[00:01:17] There never were spices or guitars like that

[00:01:19] At least never for the likes of us

[00:01:22] Solomon took some frankincense

[00:01:24] The Queen took some cocaine

[00:01:27] Then the lighting changed and

[00:01:28] They sang strange words

[00:01:29] And the band already knew the chords

[00:01:32] And now King Solomon

[00:01:35] I'm working for your song and mine

[00:01:43] You trade our daylight for Turkish Delight

[00:01:45] You trade our fear for euphoria

[00:01:49] But we trade the real for your underground rail

[00:01:52] And your foreman's rules

[00:01:54] O my love

[00:01:57] One thing's sure and nothing's surer

[00:01:59] The rich get richer and the poor get

[00:02:20] Now we're living happily Alison and I

[00:02:25] We can't stop singing Solomon's song

[00:02:27] We were singing it on the night

[00:02:30] We conceived our healthy children

[00:02:32] Who thanks to the union line

[00:02:35] Are at school with the sons of the foreman

[00:02:38] With a future down the mine

[00:02:43] And soon King Solomon

[00:02:46] They'll be working for your song and mine

[00:02:54] You trade our daylight for Turkish Delight

[00:02:57] You trade our fear for euphoria

[00:03:01] But we trade our lives for the song

[00:03:03] You taught us to sing

[00:03:06] How does it go The trade union

[00:03:09] And God save the King
