Şarkı Sözleri

çalışılacak sözcükler

The landlady's husband came up to town today

Since he left them both ten years ago to serve the ministry

The dark down road of his approach in constant rain was drenched

The tenant's boy said "How d'ya do" then swore in French

Did you teach this little child these curses on my soul

You should both be shut down in the coal-hole

That's the way to treat a child who cries out in the night

And a woman who teaches wrong from right

He's a Battered Old Bird

And he's living up there

There's a place where time stands still

If you keep taking those little pink pills

"Hush your mouth you hypocrite"

His humour cut her deep

The tight lipped leer of judgement

That had seen her love desert her just like sleep

"Filthy words on children's lips are better, my dear spouse

Then if I were to speak my mind about this house"

He's a Battered Old Bird

And he's living up there
