Queen and Country-Jethro Tull

[00:00.000] 作词 : Anderson [00:12.000]The wind is on the river and the tide has turned too late, [00:20.000]So we're sailing for another shore where some other ladies wait. [00:27.000]To throw us silken whispers: catch us by the anchor chains --- [00:35.000]But we all laugh so politely and we sail on just the same. [00:42.000]For Queen and Country in the long dying day, [00:49.000]And it's been this way for five long years, [00:53.000]Since we signed our souls away. [00:57.000]We bring back gold and ivory; rings of diamonds; strings of pearls --- [01:04.000]Make presents to the government [01:07.000]So they can have their social whirl [01:12.000]With Queen and Country in the long dying day. [01:19.000]And it's been this way for five long years [01:22.000]Since we signed our souls away. [01:42.000]For Queen and Country in the long dying day. [01:50.000]And it's been this way for five long years [01:54.000]Since we signed our souls away. [01:58.000]They build schools and they build factories [02:01.000]With the spoils of battles won. [02:05.000]And we remain their pretty sailor boys --- [02:09.000]Hold our heads up to the gun [02:12.000]Of Queen and Country in the long dying day. [02:20.000]And it's been this way for five long years [02:23.000]Since we signed our souls away. [02:27.000]To Queen and Country in the long dying day. [02:34.000]And it's been this way for five long years [02:38.000]Since we signed our souls away.
