| 歌曲 | Ballad Of A Salesman Who Sold Himself |
| 歌手 | Kevin Ayers |
| 专辑 | Rainbow Takeaway |
| 作词 : Ayers | |
| There was moonlight and laughter | |
| That danced on the sands | |
| And bloodstained pianos | |
| Are played without hands | |
| Such a promising music | |
| Sweet whispers and dreams | |
| From a travelling window, | |
| The salesman who screamed. | |
| Moonlight, Saturday night | |
| It's now or never | |
| Oh play Stormy Weather, | |
| for me, for me. | |
| I lived in the flower shop | |
| Called "Love is So Sweet!" | |
| And I get all my kicks | |
| From the customers' feet. | |
| Well, I'm just a stranger, | |
| None stranger than I. | |
| My head in the quicksand | |
| My feet in the sky. | |
| I was carefully crazy | |
| When playing the game. | |
| 'Cause business is business | |
| And I'm not to blame. | |
| Climb on my back | |
| It's a wet afternoon ; | |
| A bottle of booze, | |
| A bit of a tune to sing; | |
| Goodbye, everything; | |
| Goodbye, everything.... |
