It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career

歌词
He had a stroke at the age of 24
It could have been a brilliant career
Painting lines in a school that was too well known
24岁时他中风了
Painting lines with a friend that had gone before
这本是一项光辉事业
She challenged everyone to a fight
在一所知名学府绘图
But the people all backed down
和一个已经离去的朋友一起绘图
And they ran her out of town
她向每一个人发出对决挑战
Cause she drank and swore and spoke
可人们已经裁定输赢
Out of turn she was the village joke
于是他们将她驱逐
She had a stroke at the age of 24
只因她醉酒时的誓言
It could have been a brilliant career
她意外地成了村里的笑话
Getting clients to finance her strategies
24岁时她中风了
Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday
这本是一项光辉事业
She wears the clothes of an emperor
让客户为她的策划融资
But her paintings are a sham
在连锁超市打发周六时光
And they're going for a grand
她穿着皇帝的衣服
When the dealers come to view
可她的画是赝品
Do they ever see the real you?
他们想要的却是稀世珍宝
当商人们出现在视线中
He had a stroke at the age of 24
他们曾见过真实的你吗
It could have been a brilliant career
24岁时他中风了
Selling lies to the boys with the old Dansettes
这本是一项光辉事业
Pulling the wool playing the fool it's no wonder that
用老唱片向男孩们贩卖谎言
He is dribbling spit tonight
扯羊毛愚弄人 难怪说
And the one he sent away
他今晚吐个不停
Was the only one who stayed
那个他送走的
With a spoon and a decent book
是唯一留下的人
And you can tell by the way she looks she is sorry and resigned
还带着勺子和像样的书本
As he wets himself for the final time
然后你顺便说说她看起来歉意满满
