《Silver Kettle》歌词

[00:00:00] Silver Kettle - Al Stewart

[00:00:04] And in the last days of the world of plastic records

[00:00:15] He takes the car into town

[00:00:19] He hears the voices of salvation through the static

[00:00:28] Just turns the volume down

[00:00:31] A chain link fence round a boarded up arcade

[00:00:41] Towers of glass that petroleum has made

[00:00:46] But he wouldn’t have been born

[00:00:48] At any other moment in the world

[00:00:53] And in the morning he will hear the silver kettle

[00:01:06] Calling him out of his sleep

[00:01:10] The world outside goes by in plastic and in metal

[00:01:19] He’s got his secrets to keep

[00:01:23] The daily news forms a pattern on TV

[00:01:32] Violence first then a cat stuck up a tree

[00:01:37] But he wouldn’t have been born

[00:01:40] At any other moment in this world

[00:01:46] One o’clock and the office empties out

[00:01:57] He watches as they pass

[00:02:01] Nostalgic for something intangible

[00:02:04] A time that never was

[00:02:12] There is a crack along the plaster in the kitchen

[00:02:20] It forms the shape of her face

[00:02:24] Just for a moment he will trace it with his finger

[00:02:33] One day he’ll paint her away

[00:02:37] He sees her now - she’s got a clean white shirt on

[00:02:47] She’s someone he’d just love to get the dirt on

[00:02:51] And she couldn’t have been born

[00:02:53] At any other moment in the world
