| [00:22.430] |
Now the swan it floated |
| [00:24.940] |
On the english river |
| [00:31.790] |
Ah the rose of high romance |
| [00:36.760] |
It opened wide |
| [00:41.890] |
A sun tanned woman yearned me |
| [00:46.200] |
Through the summer |
| [00:50.930] |
And the judges watched us |
| [00:53.940] |
From the other side |
| [01:00.880] |
I told my mother mother |
| [01:05.190] |
I must leave you |
| [01:10.300] |
Preserve my room |
| [01:12.540] |
But do not shed a tear |
| [01:19.600] |
Should rumour of a shabby |
| [01:23.810] |
Ending reach you |
| [01:28.480] |
It was half my fault |
| [01:31.290] |
And half the atmosphere |
| [01:38.010] |
But the rose I sickened |
| [01:41.030] |
With a scarlet fever |
| [01:47.390] |
And the swan I tempted |
| [01:50.240] |
With a sense of shame |
| [01:56.810] |
She said at last |
| [01:59.280] |
I was her finest lover |
| [02:06.130] |
And if she withered |
| [02:08.590] |
I would be to blame |
| [02:16.060] |
The judges said you missed it |
| [02:20.770] |
By a fraction |
| [02:25.390] |
Rise up and brace |
| [02:27.690] |
Your troops for the attack |
| [02:34.100] |
Ah the dreamers ride |
| [02:36.820] |
Against the men of action |
| [02:43.690] |
Oh see the men of action |
| [02:47.830] |
Falling back |
| [02:52.500] |
But I lingered on her thighs |
| [02:56.300] |
A fatal moment |
| [03:01.890] |
I kissed her lips |
| [03:04.090] |
As though I thirsted still |
| [03:10.850] |
My falsity had stung me |
| [03:14.730] |
Like a hornet |
| [03:19.710] |
The poison sank |
| [03:21.620] |
And it paralysed my will |
| [03:28.750] |
I could not move to warn |
| [03:31.760] |
All the younger soldiers |
| [03:37.600] |
That they had been |
| [03:39.800] |
Deserted from above |
| [03:46.020] |
So on battlefields |
| [03:48.780] |
From here to barcelona |
| [03:55.530] |
I'm listed with the enemies of love |
| [04:06.870] |
And long ago she said |
| [04:10.240] |
I must be leaving |
| [04:16.100] |
Ah but keep my body here to lie upon |
| [04:25.160] |
You can move it up |
| [04:27.390] |
And down and when I'm sleeping |
| [04:34.180] |
Run some wire through |
| [04:36.760] |
That rose and wind the swan |
| [04:43.720] |
So daily I renew my idle duty |
| [04:52.730] |
I touch her here and there |
| [04:56.820] |
I know my place |
| [05:01.720] |
I kiss her open mouth |
| [05:04.750] |
And I praise her beauty |
| [05:10.680] |
And people call me traitor to my face |
