Dead Man’s Boots (《末日之舰》音乐剧歌曲) - Michael Esper/Collin Kelly-Sordelet/Jamie Jackson[00:00:00]
Written by:Sting[00:00:02]
You said you've seen these work boots in my hands[00:00:17]
They'll probably fit ye now my son[00:00:21]
Take them they're a gift from me[00:00:24]
Why don't you try them on[00:00:27]
Cause it would do your old man good to see[00:00:29]
You walking in these boots one day[00:00:32]
And take your place among the men[00:00:36]
Who work upon the slipway[00:00:39]
These dead man's boots[00:00:41]
Though they're old and curled[00:00:43]
When a feller needs a job[00:00:45]
And a place in the world[00:00:46]
And it's time for a man to put down roots[00:00:47]
And walk to the river in your old man's boots[00:00:53]
I said why in the hell would I do that[00:00:59]
And why would I agree[00:01:02]
When your hand was all that I'd received[00:01:05]
As far as I remember[00:01:08]
Well it's not as if you'd spoiled me[00:01:11]
With your kindness up to then ye see[00:01:13]
I'd a plan of me own and I'd quit this place[00:01:16]
When I came of age September[00:01:20]
These dead man's boots know[00:01:22]
Their way down the hill[00:01:24]
They can walk there themselves[00:01:26]
And they probably will[00:01:27]
I'd plenty of choices[00:01:29]
And plenty other routes[00:01:30]
And he'd never see me[00:01:34]
Walking in these dead man's boots[00:01:35]
What was it made him think[00:01:40]
I'd be happy ending up like him[00:01:43]
When he'd hardly got two halfpennies left[00:01:46]
Or a broken pot to piss in[00:01:49]
And he wanted this same thing for me[00:01:52]
Was that his final wish[00:01:55]
And what the hell you're going to do[00:01:58]
Anything but this[00:02:01]
These dead man's boots[00:02:04]
Know their way down the hill[00:02:05]
They can walk there themselves[00:02:07]
And they probobly will[00:02:08]
But they won't walk with me[00:02:10]
Cause I'm off the other way[00:02:11]
I've had it up to here[00:02:13]
I'm gonna have my say[00:02:14]
When all ye've got left is that cross on the wall[00:02:16]
I want nothing from you[00:02:19]
I want nothing at all[00:02:20]
Not a pension nor a pittance[00:02:22]
When your whole life is through[00:02:23]
Get this through your head[00:02:25]
I'm nothing like you[00:02:26]
I'm done with all the arguments[00:02:28]
There'll be no more dispute[00:02:32]
And ye'll die before ye see me[00:02:38]
In these dead man's boots[00:02:40]
