The Armadillo
作詞:Frank Turner 作曲:Frank Turner
I was taking compass bearings for the Ordnance Survey On an army training camp in Salisbury plain I had packed up my theodolite, I was calling it a day When I heard a voice that sang a sad refrain:
'Oh, my darling Armadillo Let me tell you of my love Listen to my Armadillo roundelay; Be my fellow on my pillow Underneath this weeping willow Be my darling Armadillo all the day.'
I was somewhat disconcerted by this curious affair For a single Armadillo, you will own, on Salisbury plain in summer, is comparatively rare And a pair of them is practically unknown
Drawn by that mellow solo There I followed on my bike To discover what these Armadillo lovers would be like:
'Oh, my darling Armadillo もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com How delightful it would be If for us those silver wedding bells would chime Let the orange blossoms billow You need only say 'I will'-oh Be my darling Armadillo all the time.'
Then I saw them in a hollow, by a yellow muddy bank - An Armadillo singing... to an armour-plated tank Should I tell him, gaunt and rusting, with the willow tree above This - abandoned on manoeuvres - is the object of your love?
I left him to his singing I cycled home without a pause Never tell a man the truth about the one that he adores
On the breeze that follows sunset I could hear that sad refrain Singing willow, willow, willow down the way; And I seemed to hear it still, Oh Vive l'amore, vive l'Armadillo 'Be my darling Armadillo all the day Be my darling Armadillo all the day.'
