《The Sacred Scrolls Of Pop》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sacred Scrolls Of Pop - Henry Priestman (亨利·普里斯特曼)

[00:00:26] Oh I went down to Memphis to

[00:00:29] See what had become

[00:00:32] Of those little works of art

[00:00:34] That hung out there at the sun

[00:00:36] And I hit the Motor city

[00:00:39] I was looking for the scene

[00:00:41] Of the sound of soul that

[00:00:43] Helped to fuel a million teenage dreams

[00:00:46] Oh

[00:00:47] Nobody could help me

[00:00:49] They said they were all lost

[00:00:51] To the bureaucrats and bean counters

[00:00:54] That only count the cost

[00:00:57] No one could save me

[00:00:58] They said it was too late

[00:01:01] But I'll keep on keeping on

[00:01:04] Until I reach heaven's gate

[00:01:06] Oh I'm looking around

[00:01:09] But I ain't hit the spot

[00:01:11] I need three minutes now

[00:01:14] That'll make my heart stop

[00:01:16] Oh so tell me that it's too late

[00:01:19] It's a race against the clock

[00:01:21] But I'm still looking around

[00:01:24] I'm searching for the sacred scrolls of pop

[00:01:27] Looking looking

[00:01:31] Gonna keep on looking

[00:01:36] So I sail on down the Mersey

[00:01:38] To fee that beating heart

[00:01:41] But I had to wade through heritage

[00:01:44] Before my trip could start

[00:01:46] Yet in the highlands and the valleys

[00:01:49] In the urban sprawl and smoke

[00:01:51] There's a torch held high and shining

[00:01:54] And while it burns there's still hope

[00:01:56] Oh I'm looking around

[00:01:59] But I ain't hit the spot

[00:02:01] I've done thirty years now

[00:02:03] There's no way I can stop

[00:02:06] Oh so tell me that it's too late

[00:02:08] It's a race against the clock

[00:02:11] But I keep looking around

[00:02:14] I'm searching for the sacred scrolls of pop

[00:02:17] Some say they crashed and burned

[00:02:20] They met a sorry end

[00:02:22] But I believe they're out there

[00:02:25] And they will be found again

[00:02:27] I hear an old guitar

[00:02:30] And a battered tambourine

[00:02:32] Someone blowing harp and I feel I'm seventeen

[00:02:36] Again

[00:02:46] Oh I'm looking around

[00:02:48] But I ain't hit the spot

[00:02:51] I need three minutes now

[00:02:53] That'll make my heart stop

[00:02:56] Oh so tell me that it's too late

[00:02:58] It's a race against the clock

[00:03:00] But I keep looking around

[00:03:03] Yeah I'm looking around

[00:03:08] But I ain't hit the spot

[00:03:11] I've done thirty years now

[00:03:13] There's no way I can stop

[00:03:15] Oh so tell me that it's too late

[00:03:18] It's a race against the clock

[00:03:20] But I keep looking around

[00:03:23] I'm searching for the sacred scrolls of pop

[00:03:27] Looking looking

[00:03:30] Gonna keep on looking

[00:03:32] Looking looking

[00:03:35] Gonna keep on searching

[00:03:38] Looking

[00:03:40] Gonna keep on looking
