《Banquet(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Banquet (LP版) - Joni Mitchell

[00:00:01] Written by：Joni Mitchell

[00:00:09] Come to the dinner gong

[00:00:12] The table is laden high

[00:00:15] Fat bellies and hungry little ones

[00:00:19] Tuck your napkins in

[00:00:22] And take your share

[00:00:24] Some get the gravy

[00:00:27] And some get the gristle

[00:00:30] Some get the marrow bone

[00:00:34] And some get nothing

[00:00:36] Though there's plenty to spare

[00:00:42] I took my share down by the sea

[00:00:46] Paper plates and javex bottles on the tide

[00:00:50] Seagulls come down

[00:00:51] And they squawk at me

[00:00:54] Down where the water skiers glide

[00:01:10] Some turn to Jesus

[00:01:13] And some turn to heroin

[00:01:16] Some turn to rambling round

[00:01:20] Looking for a clean sky

[00:01:22] And a drinking stream

[00:01:24] Some watch the paint peel off

[00:01:27] Some watch their kids grow up

[00:01:30] Some watch their stocks and bonds

[00:01:34] Waiting for that big deal

[00:01:36] American dream

[00:01:42] I took my dream down by the sea

[00:01:46] Yankee yachts and lobster pots and sunshine

[00:01:49] And logs and sails

[00:01:51] And shell oil pails

[00:01:53] Dogs and tugs and summertime

[00:01:56] Back in the banquet line

[00:01:59] Angry young people crying

[00:02:06] Who let the greedy in

[00:02:09] And who left the needy out

[00:02:12] Who made this salty soup

[00:02:16] Tell him we're very hungry now

[00:02:18] For a sweeter fare

[00:02:22] In the cookie I read

[00:02:24] Some get the gravy

[00:02:27] And some get the gristle

[00:02:30] Some get the marrow bone

[00:02:33] And some get nothing

[00:02:36] Though there's plenty to spare
