Lyrics

0:00Cemetry Gates - The Smiths (史密斯乐团)
0:10A dreaded sunny day
0:11So I meet you at cemetry gates
0:14Keats and Yeats are on your side
0:19A dreaded sunny day
0:20So I meet you at cemetry gates
0:23Keats and Yeats are on your side
0:27While Wilde is on mine
0:33So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
0:36All those people all those lives
0:38Where are they now
0:41With loves and hates
0:43And passions just like mine
0:45They were born
0:46And then they lived
0:47And then they died
0:49It seems so unfair
0:52I want to cry
0:54You say: "'Ere thrice the sun
0:56Done salutation to the dawn"
0:59And you claim these words as your own
1:04But I've read well and I've heard them said
1:08A hundred times (maybe less maybe more)
1:13If you must write prose poems
1:15The words you use should be your own
1:17Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
1:21'Cause there's always someone somewhere
1:24With a big nose who knows
1:26And who trips you up and laughs
1:28When you fall
1:30Who'll trip you up and laugh
1:33When you fall
1:35You say: "'Ere long done do does did"
1:40Words which could only be your own
1:44And then produce the text
1:46From whence was ripped
1:48(Some dizzy whore 1804)
1:53A dreaded sunny day
1:55So let's go where we're happy
1:56And I meet you at cemetry gates
1:58Oh Keats and Yeats are on your side
2:02A dreaded sunny day
2:04So let's go where we're wanted
2:05And I meet you at cemetry gates
2:07Keats and Yeats are on your side
2:11But you lose
2:12'Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine
2:16Sure
Cemetry Gates - The Smiths (史密斯乐团)
A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at cemetry gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at cemetry gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
While Wilde is on mine
So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
All those people  all those lives
Where are they now
With loves  and hates
And passions just like mine
They were born
And then they lived
And then they died
It seems so unfair
I want to cry
You say: "'Ere thrice the sun
Done salutation to the dawn"
And you claim these words as your own
But I've read well  and I've heard them said
A hundred times (maybe less  maybe more)
If you must write prose poems
The words you use should be your own
Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
'Cause there's always someone  somewhere
With a big nose  who knows
And who trips you up and laughs
When you fall
Who'll trip you up and laugh
When you fall
You say: "'Ere long done do does did"
Words which could only be your own
And then produce the text
From whence was ripped
(Some dizzy whore  1804)
A dreaded sunny day
So let's go where we're happy
And I meet you at cemetry gates
Oh  Keats and Yeats are on your side
A dreaded sunny day
So let's go where we're wanted
And I meet you at cemetry gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
But you lose
'Cause weird lover Wilde is on mine
Sure
