[00:00.000] 作词 : Ian [00:10.01]I’m the belle of the blues, and it’s easy to see [00:19.83]If I win or I lose, it’s all one to me [00:30.03]I was born on a shelf in the rare books library [00:40.05]I reside by myself with my books and my T.V. [00:50.97]I’m an old age pension for the fossilized routine [01:01.17]Anybody for nostalgia, put a record on and see [01:09.59]Here’s a memory of olden days [01:16.45]And a heartbreak grown cold [01:21.35]All that glitters isn’t gold [01:24.91]You get no love for free [01:30.03]You live and you die [01:35.29]And I’ll probably throw it away [01:40.83]But in the end it’s mine [01:43.82]And nobody has a right to say [01:49.36]“Go down lightly - go down silently” [02:00.15]I’ll go down screaming [02:03.12]“Give it back - it belongs to me” [02:09.14]I’m the belle of the blues - I’m used to mingling [02:18.51]With the crème de la crème of higher society [02:28.24]I promise them roses, and an eight-by-ten of me [02:37.62]But when the party’s over [02:41.54]They’re all too glad to leave [02:47.16]Their children sing of sorrow [02:51.66]It’s the same old routine [02:55.19]They’ve begged and they’ve borrowed [02:59.95]Someone else’s misery [03:05.51]It’s an easy act to follow [03:10.36]At least, an easy one for me [03:15.26]Give me my tomorrows [03:18.01]You can have my memories [03:23.47]Souvenirs from an old-fashioned school [03:33.37]Plays coquette on the pillow [03:36.70]Like an old-fashioned fool [03:41.62]Go down lightly [03:46.56]Go down silently [03:51.72]You go down lonely [03:56.13]You go down like me [04:26.56]
