London's Requiem - Louis Dunford.mp3

[00:00.000] 作词 : Louis Dunford
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Louis Dunford
[00:09.658]As I look out upon my city, so bright and so pretty
[00:15.055]Under this black London sky
[00:20.155]And get lost in this maze of concrete and stone
[00:27.690]Tales of sex, drugs and romance and victims of bad chance
[00:32.518]The kids who live and die by the knife
[00:38.478]So many lives lost but so few stories are told
[00:46.533]From the tramps on the pavements with a ten-year engagement
[00:51.177]To a needle and a bottle of wine
[00:57.607]No kind words spoken, but to die alone and broken
[01:01.428]Is the fate of the poor
[01:04.945]'Cause the drugs are a hеaler, on every cornеr a dealer
[01:09.834]Prescribin' his medicine so fine
[01:16.322]But his patients will suffer a fate that no doctor could cure
[01:22.801]
[01:24.995]Ooh, no, have you heard the news today?
[01:34.413]They say London's burning down once again
[01:43.294]And from the streets, you hear the people sing
[01:52.756]From the streets, you hear the London requiem
[01:59.221]
[02:00.847]As the sirens of the night play out the London lullaby
[02:05.142]A sound that sends a chill down your spine
[02:11.077]A sound that echoes through this artificial ghetto we call London town
[02:19.504]'Cause the armies of the street, they march for victory, not defeat
[02:23.813]And though their mothers told them never to play with knives
[02:30.275]Another solider of sixteen, no older, will fall to the ground
[02:38.103]But still the sirens carry on long after his body is dead and gone
[02:42.956]And will ring through these streets forevermore
[02:49.413]He won't be the only boy to die lonely on the cold London stone
[02:56.669]Other sisters and brothers, other fathers and mothers
[03:01.219]Will wait for a knock upon their door
[03:07.188]Their poor young solder of sixteen, no older, did not make it home
[03:14.442]
[03:17.421]Oh, no, have you heard the news today?
[03:25.500]They say London's burning down once again
[03:35.758]And from the streets, you hear the people sing
[03:45.108]From the streets, you hear the London requiem
[03:51.293]
[03:54.798]But that's just the everyday
[03:57.196]Nothing seems to change
[03:58.827]All that we know
[04:04.176]Is the bills get paid
[04:06.293]So we can stay in this shit hole
[04:09.811]
[04:13.554]Oh, no, have you heard the news today?
[04:21.897]They say London's burning down once again
[04:31.584]And from the streets, you hear the people sing
[04:40.762]From the streets, you hear the London requiem
