[00:00:00] The Boxer - BFM Hits

[00:00:03] Written by：Paul Simon

[00:00:05] I am just a poor boy

[00:00:06] Though my story's seldom told

[00:00:09] I have squandered my resistance

[00:00:11] For a pocket full of mumbles

[00:00:14] Such are promises

[00:00:17] All lies and jests

[00:00:18] Still a man hears what he wants to hear

[00:00:21] And disregards the rest

[00:00:32] When I left my home and my family

[00:00:35] I was no more than a boy

[00:00:37] In the company of strangers

[00:00:40] In the quiet of the railway station

[00:00:42] Running scared

[00:00:45] Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters

[00:00:49] Where the ragged people go

[00:00:52] Looking for the places

[00:00:53] Only they would know

[00:00:56] Lie la lie lie la la la lie lie

[00:01:01] Lie la lie

[00:01:03] Lie la la la la lie la la lie

[00:01:11] Asking only workman's wages

[00:01:13] I come looking for a job

[00:01:15] But I get no offers

[00:01:18] Just a come on from the whores

[00:01:20] On seventh avenue

[00:01:24] I do declare

[00:01:25] There were times when I was so lonesome

[00:01:28] I took some comfort there

[00:01:30] Le le le le le le le

[00:02:00] Lie la lie lie la la la lie lie

[00:02:05] Lie la lie

[00:02:07] Lie la la la la lie la la lie

[00:02:15] Then I'm laying out my winter clothes

[00:02:18] And wishing I was gone

[00:02:20] Going home

[00:02:22] Where the New York city winters

[00:02:24] Aren't bleeding me

[00:02:28] Leading me

[00:02:32] Going home

[00:02:40] In the clearing stands a boxer

[00:02:43] And a fighter by his trade

[00:02:45] And he carries the reminders

[00:02:48] Of ev'ry glove that laid him down

[00:02:50] Or cut him till he cried out

[00:02:52] In his anger and his shame

[00:02:55] I am leaving I am leaving

[00:02:57] But the fighter still remains mmm mmm

[00:03:04] Lie la lie

[00:03:07] Lie la la la lie lie

[00:03:09] Lie la lie

[00:03:11] Lie la la la la lie la la lie

[00:03:16] Lie la lie

[00:03:17] Lie la la la lie lie

[00:03:19] Lie la lie

[00:03:21] Lie la la la la lie la la lie

[00:03:26] Lie la lie

[00:03:27] Lie la la la lie lie

[00:03:28] Lie la lie

[00:03:31] Lie la la la la lie la la lie

[00:03:33] Lie la lie

[00:03:34] Lie
