Nineteen Forty-Eightish - Roy Harper.mp3

[00:00.00] 作词 : Harper
[00:35.85]The lemmings push their pens and rush
[00:40.20]In hoards of crashing stupor
[00:44.91]Towards the farms of Babylon
[00:49.53]To scramble mother nature
[00:53.79]Where unrelenting drudgery
[00:55.50]Is all there is to nurture
[01:03.69]And life and death are by consent
[01:11.37]And love is for oppression
[01:15.75]Welcome to my nightmare
[01:19.65]It's the one in which I always press the button
[01:46.29]A million tons of printed ****
[01:47.85]Come through my door each day
[01:53.61]Up to my ****, around my neck
[01:58.14]I can't even throw it away
[01:59.61]Bills for my shirt, receipts for my soul
[02:06.09]With only a moment to pay
[02:13.59]Before the thud of the future
[02:19.02]Gives me the shakes
[02:24.78]Welcome to my nightmare
[02:31.29]It's the one in which I always burn the cakes
[02:32.16]In 1649
[03:02.01]Just as I light the loaded fire
[03:06.96]A space invader lands
[03:12.21]It's full of cops and bureaucrats
[03:15.39]With bouquets of final demands
[03:19.56]And I see my life flash before me again
[03:30.87]Slipping through my hands
[03:31.47]As the sound of harvest closes in
[03:32.49]Swooping - reaping
[03:42.30]Welcome to my nightmare
[03:47.04]It's the one in which I walk when I'm not sleeping
[03:56.61]In thirteen twenty four
[03:57.12]The one we've all been waiting for
[04:08.46]Nineteen eighty-four
[04:37.44]There's a little man left to hold the can
[04:38.73]He don't know how and his only plan
[04:47.07]Is everlasting life
[04:54.42]He beats the street with his plates of meat
[04:59.13]In the sandwich board of his final retreat
[05:04.56]Bellowing goodbye
[05:12.93]Everyone sees and nobody shares
[05:19.56]Everyone knows its the truth that he bears
[05:20.55]That the end is nigh
[05:30.03]And he stands against the rails at Oxford Circus
[05:32.07]Leafleting the souls who keep this pace
[05:35.94]That gathers speed and calls itself
[05:53.25]The human race
[06:32.79]And shadows fight with men of straw
[06:37.77]In pockets of derision
[06:41.58]While mother checks up on the stars
[06:46.89]Denies her intuition
[06:51.36]And sends young Julia to school
[06:52.71]To learn an empty vision
[06:58.32]That's full of paper tiger rats
[07:03.99]To pass to her own children
[07:13.62]Welcome to my nightmare
[07:19.11]I'm the father, son and whole polluted system
[07:26.37]In nineteen eighty-four
[07:31.05]Nineteen eighty-four
[07:35.13]Nineteen eighty-four
[07:49.68]The one we've all been longing for
[07:50.31]Nineteen eighty-four
