歌曲 | It's a Steal |
歌手 | Edwyn Collins |
专辑 | I'm Not Following You |
作词 : Collins | |
The first two chords I chanced upon | |
Became the bedrock of this song | |
Don't ask me where it all went wrong | |
That's for you to sit and ponder upon | |
Sometimes I'm thinking to myself | |
Should have left my dreams upon the shelf | |
I don't want to reveal too much about how I feel | |
It's a steal | |
I built my dreams on a bed o nails | |
When the twilight fails I'll fall off the rails | |
I might end up on that railside verge | |
Where my conscience merged with a Celtic dirge | |
When the black cap sings at the crack of dawn | |
I'll be so far gone he won't hear me yawn | |
It's not as if my boots are down at heel | |
It's a steal | |
Ho hum I might be dumb | |
But I can't compete with you old chum | |
I can't compete so I won't compete | |
'Cause I'm never gracious in defeat | |
Sometimes I'm thinking to myself | |
It's down to me and no one else | |
And then I fall to earth and I get real | |
It's a steal | |
Ninety-nine new pence is fine | |
But I draw the line at the one pound sign | |
I draw a line that I dare not cross | |
Where a rich man's gain is poor man's loss | |
Where the outlaw gang in Lincoln green | |
Work undercover for the Queen | |
But it's just a yarn it's not as if it's real | |
It's a steal | |
Sometimes I'm thinking to myself | |
Should have left my dreams upon the shelf | |
(Tell me what you really want) |

It' s a steal | |
Ninetynine new pence is fine | |
