ฟังเพลงThe Boxer

The Boxer - The British Pop Band

I am just a poor boy

Though my story's seldom told

I have squandered my resistance

For a pocket full of mumbles

Such are promises

All lies and jests

Still a man hears

What he wants to hear

And dis regards the rest

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

Asking only workman's wages

I 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 lonesome

I took some comfort there

Then I'm laying out

My winter clothes

And wishing I was gone

Going home

Where the new york city winters

Aren't bleeding me

Bleeding me

Going home

In the clearing stands a boxer

And a fighter by his trade

And he carries the reminders

Of ev'ry glove that layed him down

Or cut him till he cried out

In his anger and his shame

I am leaving I am leaving

But the fighter still remains
