《Excerpt From A Teenage Opera》歌词

[00:00:00] Excerpt From A Teenage Opera - Keith West

[00:00:18] Count the days into years

[00:00:23] His eighty two brings many fears

[00:00:28] Yesterday's laughter turned to tears

[00:00:33] His arms and legs don't feel so strong

[00:00:37] His heart is weak there's something wrong

[00:00:39] Opens windows in despair tries

[00:00:42] To breathe in some fresh air

[00:00:45] His conscience cries get on your feet

[00:00:47] Without you Jack the town can't eat

[00:00:50] Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back

[00:00:54] Go into town don't let them down oh no no

[00:01:01] Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back

[00:01:05] Go into town don't let them down oh no no

[00:01:14] The people that live in the town

[00:01:20] Don't understand

[00:01:22] He's never been known to miss his round

[00:01:27] It's ten-o'clock the housewives yell

[00:01:30] When Jack turns up we'll give him hell

[00:01:33] Husbands moan at breakfast tables

[00:01:36] No milk no eggs no marmalade labels

[00:01:39] Mothers send their children out

[00:01:41] To Jack's house to scream and shout

[00:01:44] Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back

[00:01:48] Come into town don't let us down oh no no

[00:01:55] Grocer Jack grocer Jack get off your back

[00:01:59] Come into town don't let us down oh no no

[00:02:37] It's Sunday morning bright and clear

[00:02:43] Lovely flowers decorate a marvellous square

[00:02:51] People cry and walk away

[00:02:53] And think about the fateful day

[00:02:56] Now they wish they'd given Jack

[00:02:59] More affection and respect

[00:03:02] The little children dressed in black

[00:03:05] Don't know what happened to old Jack

[00:03:07] Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true

[00:03:11] What mummy says

[00:03:13] You won't come back oh no no

[00:03:18] Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true

[00:03:22] What mummy says

[00:03:23] You won't come back oh no no

[00:03:29] Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true

[00:03:33] What mummy says

[00:03:34] You won't come back oh no no

[00:03:40] Grocer Jack grocer Jack is it true

[00:03:44] What mummy says

[00:03:45] You won't come back oh no no
