John L歌詞

[offset:0]
[00:00.00]作曲 : Cameron Picton/Matt Kelvin/Morgan Simpson
[00:32.21]Three encores of Oh Sonny Boy backed only by accordion
[00:35.75]Three rows of pale brunettes protect him from the crowd
[00:39.35]The curtain a patchwork of imitation vermillion
[00:42.98]A red bulb hangs low above the throne that has been found
[01:00.85]This is the scene on Main Street when John L comes to town
[01:15.18]Crowds of every age, creed and gender are abound
[01:18.48]Signor kitsch sings skits detailing each attendees sins
[01:22.38]First time anteaters lose themselves in the wings
[01:25.56]With vigour they scratch red spots, overwhelmed by their king
[01:36.40]In all the world there's no escape from this infernal din
[01:46.25]“Children of Bethlehem, come all boys and girls,
[01:53.57]Come Listen to these, my eternal words
[01:56.87]Judge not who you see by whatever they may say
[01:59.93]But by their round eyes, lips, ears and curves
[02:03.71]A man is his country, your country is you
[02:07.31]All bad is forewarned, all good will come true”
[02:10.46]These words are heard on Main Street when John L comes to town
[02:13.01]This garbling non-song whips throng into frenzy
[02:34.39]The last echoes of his crooning now cease to be heard
[02:37.75]No-longer-pale brunettes are broken in two
[02:40.78]And thrown to the snouts of the anteater crew
[02:43.93]John L is in tatters
[02:45.58]His soapbox usurped
[02:47.14]His torn robes adorn the
[02:48.58]Tree stumps of the earth
[02:50.35]No hack with an army
[02:51.61]Will last long before he
[02:53.32]Breeds men who yearn
[02:54.52]For their own bloody glory
[04:45.47]That was the scene on Main Street when John L came to town
