| 作词 : Stewart | |
| Three mules came over a hill | |
| They were dragging a cart | |
| Creaking, it seemed to be falling apart | |
| Laden with millions of dreams | |
| It weighed more than they thought | |
| They never noticed the wheels getting caught | |
| They pulled on, staring ahead | |
| With blinkered eyes and lowered heads | |
| Hoping that all would be fine | |
| I see them now | |
| Time out of time | |
| Ramsey and Stanley and Neville | |
| Were the names of the mules | |
| Each wore a bridle encrusted with jewels | |
| And though a murmur of voices | |
| Was rising behind | |
| Each laboured on | |
| And they paid it no mind | |
| They pulled on with never a doubt | |
| Past boulders and holes | |
| Till the road petered out | |
| And giving a snort they sat down | |
| Waiting for somebody else to come round | |
| And from this are our lives writ large | |
| From the beach at Dunkirk | |
| To Pickett's Charge | |
| And it's hard to go back | |
| after coming this far | |
| Down the road | |
| Three mules looked over a fence | |
| At the field beyond | |
| Green as a forest it shone in the sun | |
| Into the stillness they broke | |
| Like a stone in a pond | |
| And kicking the gate down | |
| They brayed at the ground | |
| And pulled on tugging a dream | |
| Out of a smile and into a scream | |
| And tossed the damp soil all around | |
| Until the whole field turned muddy brown | |
| And from this are our lives writ large | |
| From the beach at Dunkirk | |
| To Pickett's Charge | |
| And it's hard to go back | |
| after coming this far | |
| Down the road | |
| Ah, but it's not very easy now being a mule | |
| I don't believe you appreciate all that we do | |
| Look at this long and unfortunate face | |
| Try to imagine that you're in my place | |
| This is my nature | |
| And to it I have to be true | |
| Three mules came over a hill | |
| With a sorrowful air | |
| Though we've been judged, they said | |
| It's hardly fair | |
| All that we did was for you | |
| And the good of the cause | |
| Then they went back to the sound of applause | |
| They went back into the night | |
| Where a sickle of moon | |
| Left a trickle of light | |
| And while we lay under our roofs | |
| The whole night filled up | |
| With the beating of hooves | |
| And from this are our lives writ large | |
| From the beach at Dunkirk | |
| To Pickett's Charge | |
| And it's hard to go back | |
| after coming this far | |
| Down the road | |
| And from this are our lives writ large | |
| And every day | |
| Is Pickett's Charge | |
| And it's hard to go back | |
| after coming this far | |
| Down the road |
