Harps And Angels - Randy Newman (兰迪·纽曼)[00:00:00]
Hasn't anybody seen me lately[00:00:12]
I'll tell you why[00:00:15]
Hasn't anybody seen me lately[00:00:21]
I'll tell you why[00:00:25]
I caught something made me so sick[00:00:31]
That I thought that I would die[00:00:34]
And I almost did too[00:00:37]
First me knees begin to tremble[00:00:40]
My heart begin to pound[00:00:44]
First my knees begin to tremble[00:00:50]
My heart begin to pound[00:00:54]
It was arrhythmic and out of tune[00:00:57]
I lost my equilibrium[00:01:02]
And fell face down upon the ground[00:01:05]
As I lay there on that cold pavement[00:01:12]
A tear ran down my face[00:01:15]
'Cause I thought I was dying[00:01:18]
You boys know I'm not a religious man[00:01:21]
But I sent a prayer out just in case[00:01:24]
You never know[00:01:28]
Lo and behold almost immediately[00:01:31]
I had reason to believe my prayer had[00:01:33]
Been heard in a very special place[00:01:35]
'Cause I heard this sound[00:01:38]
Yes[00:01:43]
Yes it was harps and angels[00:01:49]
Harps and angels coming near[00:01:53]
I was to sick to roll over and see them[00:01:58]
But I could hear them singin ever so beautifully[00:02:00]
In my ear[00:02:02]
Then the sound began to subside[00:02:06]
And they sounded like background singers[00:02:08]
And a voice come down from the heavens above[00:02:10]
It was a voice full of anger from the Old Testament[00:02:14]
And a voice full of love from the New One[00:02:18]
And the street lit up like it was the middle of the day[00:02:20]
And I lay there quiet and listened to what that[00:02:25]
Voice had to say[00:02:26]
He said "You ain't ben a good man[00:02:28]
You ain't been a bad man[00:02:33]
But you've been pretty bad[00:02:36]
Lucky for you this ain't your time[00:02:40]
Someone very dear to me has made another clerical error[00:02:44]
And we're here on a bit of a wild goose chase[00:02:48]
But I want to tell you a few things[00:02:51]
That'll hold you in good stead when it is your time[00:02:53]
So you better listen close[00:02:55]
I'm only going to say this once[00:02:56]
When they lay you on the table[00:02:59]
Better keep your bussines clean[00:03:02]
'Fore they lay you on the table[00:03:08]
Better keep your business clean[00:03:12]
Don't want no back stabbing a** grabbing[00:03:18]
You know exactly what I mean[00:03:20]
Alright girls - we're outta here"[00:03:24]
"Encore Encore "[00:03:31]
(He spoke French)[00:03:33]
"Tres bien Encore"[00:03:36]
And off they went into the night[00:03:41]
Almost immediately I felt better[00:03:45]
And I come round to see you boys[00:03:47]
'Cause you know we ain't living right[00:03:49]
And while it was fresh[00:03:50]
I wanted to tell you what he told me[00:03:52]
He said "When the lay you on the table[00:03:55]
Better keep your business clean[00:03:59]
When they lay you on the table[00:04:06]
Better keep your business clean[00:04:09]
Else there won't be no harps and angels[00:04:15]
Coming for you[00:04:17]
It'll be trombones kettle drums pitchforks [00:04:19]
And tambourines "[00:04:21]
Sing it like they did for me one time[00:04:24]
Yes[00:04:29]
Beautiful[00:04:32]
Wish I spoke French[00:04:33]
So actually the main thing about this story is for me[00:04:38]
There really is an afterlife[00:04:45]
And I hope to see all of you there[00:04:48]
Let's go get a drink[00:04:54]
