Loss Adjuster-Jarvis Cocker

[00:00]Sitting in the World's End with some indie friends [00:00.000] 作曲 : Jarvis Cocker [00:04]A newsflash on the TV says the world's about to end [00:08]Can't catch all the details 'cos the volume's turned down [00:12]This is the last night on Earth, as spent in Camden Town." [00:19]There's no way to escape [00:25]This is it. [00:29]Tomorrow we will all be gone [00:35]So check what time the band are on [00:39]Let's go outside. [00:56.50]Yeah and this was the night I was going to balance the books [00:59.8]The night I turned a minus into a plus. [01:03.8]The night my adjustment became complete [01:06]I could start again with a clean sheet. [01:12.8]Now I can't get through 'cos all the networks are down [01:16]And fires are starting all over town. [01:18.9]And you're probably being gang-banged by tattooed locals - [01:22.9]Damn those Yokels! Damn those Yokels! [01:28.2]And a girl cries as she stumbles by, [01:31.8]No, the world can't end now - it's got to wait [01:35.8]It can't end when I haven't got a boyfriend [01:38.7]And I'm half a stone overweight.' [01:44.8]And the guys from Arlington House are marauding the streets [01:47.6]And convent girls are screwing every man that they meet [01:50.5]And the album you just bought will never get heard [01:54]Oh yeah - complete social breakdown has occurred. [01:59.8]And you find yourself thinking about Egyptian Sue [02:03]And the evil things that she used to do [02:06.8]And the night you almost did it after the wedding reception [02:10]But you didn't have any contraception [02:12.6]And anyway, you couldn't get an erection. [02:17.8]Now what the hell made you think of her? [02:19.7]Could it be that old saying coming true? [02:22.6]That 'nothing could survive a nuclear holocaust [02:25.8]Except cockroaches, and Egyptian Sue.' [02:31.7]But even Sue won't make it through [02:37.8]No, even Sue won't make it through this time. [02:54.6]It was around this time that the levels of hysteria around the Kentish Town Road area [02:58.7]caused a warping of the Space / Time Continuum [03:02]and I found myself face to face with a version of myself from fifteen years earlier, [03:07]when I'd lived in the area. [03:09.6]'Greetings Indie Legend,' said I. [03:12.8]'**** off Sad Bell-End, ' came the reply. [03:18.8]I wanted to warn him about the rough times ahead but for some reason he had his coat pulled over his head and wouldn't listen. [03:25.8] I left him trying to extricate a punctured Spacehopper from under some rubble in a skip. [03:31.8]'He'll find out soon enough, ' I thought. [03:40]And then suddenly I realised that I could no longer breath." [03:44.8]Here we go [03:47]Move along [03:52]One last time [03:54.8]The loss adjuster lost his mind [04:01]Too many claims, too little time [04:05]To file them. [04:11.8]"And suddenly it was a Tuesday afternoon [04:15.5]And I could see it all crystal-clear [04:19.6]Like a giant chandelier, turning slowly in the sideways sunlight [04:26.8]Hanging by a thread with only seconds to last [04:33.7]And each time you rang it was like an Indian call-centre on the line [04:39.8]'Yes, I'm doing fine - [04:43.8]Just like the last time [04:46.7]And the last time [04:48.8]Make this the last time.'" [04:55]We'll all be gone by Monday morning [05:01.8]This is it, your final warning [05:07.7]You never did see Dog Day Afternoon. [05:18]Here today, but gone tomorrow [05:24.9]Now you could hang your head in sorrow [05:30.6]Or you could do it [05:32.8]But you'd better do it soon. [05:41]Now we'll all be gone by Monday morning [05:47.8]This is it, your final warning [05:53.67]You never did see Dog Day Afternoon. [06:04]Here today, but gone tomorrow [06:10]You could hang your head in sorrow [06:16.3]You could do it [06:19.9]But you'd better do it soon. [06:29.9]We'll all be gone by Monday morning [06:34.8]This is it, your final warning [06:40.8]You never did see Dog Day Afternoon. [06:51.9]Here today, but gone tomorrow [06:58.8]Now you could hang your head in sorrow [07:02.9]You could do it [07:59.9]But you'd better do it soon.
