《The Candidate》歌词

[00:00:00] The Candidate - Al Stewart (阿尔·史蒂伍德)

[00:00:03] Written by：Al Stewart

[00:00:13] Inside the lonely building

[00:00:15] Sits the candidate

[00:00:19] His speech is typed and ready

[00:00:22] The hundred dollar plates

[00:00:25] Sit on deserted tables

[00:00:28] Beneath fluorescent light

[00:00:31] But no one comes to hear him

[00:00:34] No cheers disturb the night

[00:00:38] So where are all the voters

[00:00:41] Where the voter's wives

[00:00:44] They've all gone to the movies

[00:00:46] Trying to understand their lives

[00:00:50] The candidate is slipping

[00:00:53] Into some dream of old

[00:00:56] Not noticing around him

[00:00:59] A thousand rubber chickens going cold
