The Candidate - Al Stewart (阿尔·史蒂伍德)[00:00:00]

Written by：Al Stewart[00:00:03]

Inside the lonely building[00:00:13]

Sits the candidate[00:00:15]

His speech is typed and ready[00:00:19]

The hundred dollar plates[00:00:22]

Sit on deserted tables[00:00:25]

Beneath fluorescent light[00:00:28]

But no one comes to hear him[00:00:31]

No cheers disturb the night[00:00:34]

So where are all the voters[00:00:38]

Where the voter's wives[00:00:41]

They've all gone to the movies[00:00:44]

Trying to understand their lives[00:00:46]

The candidate is slipping[00:00:50]

Into some dream of old[00:00:53]

Not noticing around him[00:00:56]

A thousand rubber chickens going cold[00:00:59]
