가사
[Verse 1]
I am just a poor boy, though
My story's set and told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles
Such of promises
All eyes and jest till a man
Here's what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
[Verse 2]
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
Running scared
Laying low
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
Only they would know
[Verse 3]
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
La la la la li
[Verse 4]
Asking only workman's wages
I'd come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come on
From the whores on seventh avenue
I do declare, there were times
When I was so alone, son
I took some comfort there
Ooh la la, la la, la la
[Verse 5]
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
La la la la li
[Verse 6]
Then laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
With the New York City winter sun
And bleeding me
Leading me
Going home
[Verse 7]
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every bloke that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out
His anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving
But the fighter still remains
[Verse 8]
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
La la la la li
[Verse 9]
Li la li, li li la li
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
La la la la li
[Verse 10]
Li la li, li li la li
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
La la la la li
[Verse 11]
Li la li, li li la li
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
La la la la li
[Verse 12]
Li la li, li li la li
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
La la la la li
[Verse 13]
Li la li, li li la li
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
La la la la li
[Verse 14]
Li la li, li li la li
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
La la la la li
[Verse 15]
Li la li, li li la li
Li la li
Li la li, li li la li
La la la la li
