The Boxer - Jess & Matt[00:00:00]

Lyricist：Paul Simon[00:00:01]

Composer：Paul Simon[00:00:03]

I am just a poor boy[00:00:05]

Though my story's seldom told[00:00:07]

I have squandered my resistance[00:00:09]

For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises[00:00:12]

All lies and jests[00:00:18]

Still a man hears what he wants to hear[00:00:20]

And disregards the rest[00:00:23]

La la la la[00:00:25]

When I left my home and my family[00:00:31]

I was no more than a boy[00:00:33]

In the company of strangers[00:00:35]

In the quiet of the railway station[00:00:38]

Running scared[00:00:41]

Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters[00:00:44]

Where the ragged people go[00:00:49]

Looking for the places[00:00:51]

Only they would know[00:00:53]

Ooooh[00:00:57]

La la lie[00:00:59]

La la la la la la lie[00:01:02]

La la lie[00:01:04]

La la lie la lie la la la la la lie[00:01:07]

Asking only workman's wages[00:01:15]

I come looking for a job[00:01:17]

But I get no offers[00:01:20]

Just a come on from the whores[00:01:23]

On Seventh Avenue[00:01:25]

I do declare[00:01:29]

There were times when I was so lonesome[00:01:30]

I took some comfort there la la la la lie[00:01:33]

Oooh[00:01:39]

La la lie[00:01:41]

La la la la la la lie[00:01:43]

La la lie[00:01:46]

La la lie la lie la la la la la lie[00:01:49]

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes[00:01:57]

And wishing I was gone[00:01:59]

Going home[00:02:02]

Where the New York City winters[00:02:05]

Aren't bleeding me[00:02:07]

Leading me[00:02:10]

Going home[00:02:15]

In the clearing stands a boxer[00:02:20]

And a fighter by his trade[00:02:23]

And he carries the reminders[00:02:25]

Of ev'ry glove that laid him down[00:02:28]

Or cut him till he cried out[00:02:31]

In his anger and his shame[00:02:33]

I am leaving I am leaving[00:02:36]

But the fighter still remains la la la lie[00:02:38]

Ooooh[00:02:44]

La la lie[00:02:46]

La la la la la la lie[00:02:48]

La la lie[00:02:51]

La la lie la lie la la la la la lie[00:02:54]

La la la la la la lie[00:02:59]

La la lie[00:03:02]

La la lie la lie la la la la la lie[00:03:04]

La la la la la la lie[00:03:09]

La la lie[00:03:12]

La la lie la lie la la la la la lie[00:03:15]

La la la la la la lie[00:03:20]

La la lie[00:03:22]

La la lie la lie la la la la la lie[00:03:25]
