歌词
The Slant - Augie March
作词:Glenn Richards
作曲:Glenn Richards
Pity the boy in front of me
He was only 16
Lifted up my axe then down
Split his head like a cord of wood
Not for me the huon pine
Not for me the ankle iron
A'resting in the rope'll do me fine
So they sent me down to Bellerive
Strung me up to my relief
I was just a petty thief
Of no account no import
Send my love to my sister
In the Female Factory
Remind her of the day when we drank wine
May a slant of winter light
Break upon my stone before the night
Ushers in the chill
I have no sight I have no sight
But did they pave the streets of Hobart town
Lop the old wood forests down
For the press of King and Crown
For honey
Did they pave the streets of Hobart town
Lop the old wood forests down
For the press of King and Crown
For honey
Milk and honey
My arse
