《When Alexander Met Emma》歌词

[00:00:00] When Alexander Met Emma - Chumbawamba

[00:00:07] When Alexander met Emma

[00:00:11] The first day she came to New York

[00:00:15] Sach's cafe in Manhattan

[00:00:18] Coffee and cigarettes and talk

[00:00:22] Sun beating down on the east side

[00:00:25] Introductions are made in the haze

[00:00:29] Emma meet Alexander

[00:00:33] Emma just smiles as she says

[00:00:37] Take my hand

[00:00:44] I'll take yours

[00:00:52] Save my life

[00:00:59] I'll save yours

[00:01:07] Life stretches loudly before her

[00:01:10] From the Bowery to old Suffolk street

[00:01:14] The five dollar bill in her pocket

[00:01:17] And a world full of people to meet

[00:01:21] Ships riggin' up in the Hudson

[00:01:25] Waiting for love to set sail

[00:01:29] Emma she tells Alexander

[00:01:32] I'll be there when you walk from the jail

[00:01:36] Take my hand

[00:01:44] I'll take yours

[00:01:51] Save my life

[00:01:59] I'll save yours

[00:02:36] Newspaper talk turns to headlines

[00:02:39] A love so cemented in fame

[00:02:43] A word to the strike breaking bosses

[00:02:46] Propaganda in deed and in name

[00:02:50] Fourteen long years on the island

[00:02:54] It's a lifetime of summers to wait

[00:02:57] And Emma she meets Alexander

[00:03:01] As they unlock the last prison gate

[00:03:06] Take my hand

[00:03:13] I'll take yours

[00:03:20] Save my life

[00:03:28] I'll save yours
