The Hustler - Marc Almond/The Willing Sinners[00:00:00]

Written by：Marc Almond[00:00:01]

Over there[00:00:21]

In the cold[00:00:22]

Stands the hustler[00:00:23]

His eyes are old[00:00:25]

He has seen a million ugly scenes[00:00:27]

Places where men droop with mould[00:00:35]

The backrooms[00:00:38]

Where soiled goods are sold[00:00:39]

Seeing with opened eyes frail[00:00:42]

Fifteen[00:00:46]

He found it hard at first but[00:00:48]

On his brow there sits a curse[00:00:52]

For when[00:00:54]

Young must suffer[00:00:56]

At the hands[00:00:58]

Of men[00:01:00]

Memories of Christmas past[00:01:03]

Were never there to ever last[00:01:06]

Things as were can never[00:01:10]

Be again[00:01:14]

Over there by the wall[00:01:19]

Stands the hustler[00:01:21]

He's[00:01:22]

Not very tall[00:01:23]

He's trampled[00:01:25]

By the jaded by the sly[00:01:26]

He's seen the darker side of men[00:01:32]

First[00:01:35]

Fascinated[00:01:36]

And then[00:01:38]

He found his urge to laugh[00:01:39]

An urge to cry[00:01:43]

He'll find close friends[00:01:47]

No friend at all[00:01:49]

He feels so lonely tired and small[00:01:51]

How few are chosen from[00:01:54]

The golden call[00:01:59]

There's something in us all it seems[00:02:05]

To crave adventure[00:02:08]

Hunt for dreams[00:02:10]

But[00:02:11]

Corruption the seducer spoils our schemes[00:02:12]

And surely[00:02:19]

As the snow will melt[00:02:20]

The hustler[00:02:23]

Grabs his soul[00:02:23]

And heads for home[00:02:25]

With lessons[00:02:27]

Learnt under[00:02:29]

His belt[00:02:31]

Over there[00:02:36]

By the wall[00:02:37]

Stands the hustler[00:02:39]

With the men of law[00:02:40]

On[00:02:42]

Either side to flank the sallow[00:02:43]

Youth[00:02:47]

Ahhhh but some of us[00:02:48]

Will never learn[00:02:51]

It takes the blow of fists to burn[00:02:53]

How[00:02:57]

Painfully we suffer[00:02:57]

For the truth[00:03:01]
