澳大利亞搖滾樂隊Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds創作的歌曲

歌詞

Pass me that lovely little gun
My dear, my darling one
The cleaners are coming, one by one
You don't even want to let them start
They are knocking now upon your door
They measure the room, they know the score
They're mopping up the butcher's floor
Of your broken little hearts
O children
Forgive us now for what we've done
It started out as a bit of fun
Here, take these before we run away
The keys to the gulag
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Here comes Frank and poor old Jim
They're gathering round with all my friends
We're older now, the light is dim
And you are only just beginning
O children
We have the answer to all your fears
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
It's round about and it's somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
The cleaners have done their job on you
They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove
They've hosed you down, you're good as new
They're lining up to inspect you
O children
Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
He's found the answer that we lost
We're all weeping now, weeping because
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you
O children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station
Hey, little train! Wait for me!
I once was blind but now I see
Have you left a seat for me?
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
Hey little train! Wait for me!
I was held in chains but now I'm free
I'm hanging in there, don't you see
In this process of elimination
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
It's beyond my wildest expectation
Hey little train! We are all jumping on
The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station

親愛的，把那支可愛的小手槍給我，清潔工陸續到來，你甚至不想讓他們進來。他們敲開你的心門，測量每個房間，找出傷痕，掃去你受傷心靈上的灰塵。 孩子，原諒我們的所做所為，但這開始時很有趣，來，接住鑰匙，打開你的心房，我們這就離開。孩子，大點聲，再大點聲，歡呼吧，高興起來！Frank和老Jim來了，我們老友相聚，風燭殘年，生命枯槁，但是你才剛剛開始。孩子，我們理解你所有的恐懼，親愛的，他很快就會過去，他不堪一擊，現在，他肆虐在你心房某處，但成功一旦造訪，他即刻消失。孩子，大點聲，再大點聲，歡呼吧，高興起來！清潔工以將你清掃乾淨，他們深諳此道，功成身退，而你，已經煥然一新，涅槃新生。孩子，看看老Jim,他蒼白如鬼魅，他幡然悔悟但為時已晚，而我們只能為你哭泣。孩子，大點聲，再大點聲，歡呼吧，高興起來！我們終於跳上了駛向夢想之國的小火車，多么欣喜，多么雀躍，它還沒有駛離。小火車，等等我！我悔悟了，你有留座位給我嗎？還是這只是我的想像？小火車，等等我！我曾斗如困獸，但現在已經自由，並且即將消失。我們終於跳上了駛向夢想之國的小火車，多么欣喜，多么雀躍，實現了這個最最奢侈的夢想，我們終於跳上了駛向夢想之國的小火車，多么欣喜，多么雀躍，它還沒有駛離。
