[00:00.00] 作曲 : Mike Peters/Edward Macdonald
[00:37.17]'bout what we might have had
[00:38.40]And what might have been
[00:41.82]We had something going once
[00:45.06]That was such a long, long time ago
[00:49.17]It was way back in '76
[00:53.34]Our friendship formed of pure innocence
[00:57.60]We first met in mathew street
[01:00.48]Where we heard something that would set us free
[01:06.27]A sign stands over a door, it says
[01:09.51]"four lads who shook the world"
[01:14.25]In the depths of those heady nights
[01:18.00]We would dream of those bright lights
[01:22.20]Oh my friend, oh my friend, oh my friend
[02:02.16]And my friend john, he went away
[02:06.06]He made some mistakes
[02:07.59]Spent time in walton jail
[02:10.23]And now when i see him we still talk
[02:13.02]But there's no light shining in his eyes
[02:17.97]And susie, she was seventeen
[02:21.30]And more beauty in this world
[02:23.46]I swear you'll never see
[02:26.04]I was gonna be king
[02:27.63]And she was gonna be queen
[02:29.55]But now all she does is hide behind the tears
[02:34.44]If there was more sense in this world
[02:37.38]And work wasn't so hard to find
[02:42.03]You would not be going your way
[02:45.96]I would not be going mine
[02:50.07]Oh my friend, oh my friend, oh my friend
[02:54.57]Somewhere tonight out on the street
[03:00.12]Somewhere beneath this city's heat
[03:01.29]In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
[03:03.78]Life is cruel and so unkind
[03:07.71]Oh, oh the spirit of '76
[03:33.90]And pete has seen his dreams come true
[03:37.29]But that don't make him no hero
[03:39.45]He's just one of the lucky few
[03:41.64]If a man can't change the world these days
[03:44.61]I still believe a man can change his own destiny
[03:49.17]But the price is high that has got to be paid
[03:52.86]For everyone who survives there are many who fail
[03:56.79]I've seen my friends caught out in that crossfire
[04:00.87]All their dreams and hopes smashed on the funeral pyre
[04:06.96]I will never give in until the day i die
[04:13.47]Get myself some independence
[04:17.13]Carve out a future with my two bare hands
[04:21.39]Oh my friend, oh my friend, oh my friend
[04:25.11]Somewhere tonight out on the street
[04:32.28]Somewhere beneath this city's heat
[04:32.94]In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
[04:36.90]Life is cruel and so unkind
[04:39.27]Oh, oh the spirit of '76
[04:54.75]Mersey lights shine in the distance
[04:58.56]Same as they did for us then
[05:03.15]Mersey lights shine bright in the distance
[05:07.35]Where are you now my friend?
[05:11.19]You see some nights when i can't sleep
[05:14.94]I still think of you
[05:20.34]And all the promises,all our dreams we shared
[05:30.27]I know those lights still call to you
[05:34.35]I can hear them now
[05:38.88]I can hear them now
[05:46.92](still shining for us)
[05:50.55](let em shine)
[05:50.88](can you hear them)
[06:22.50](can you hear them)
[06:22.83](lights are still shining)
[06:23.28]Somewhere tonight out on the street
[06:31.83]Somewhere beneath this city's heat
[06:32.61]In the eyes of strangers who pass me by
[06:36.51]Life is cruel and so unkind
[06:38.82]Oh- oh
[06:42.42]Where's it gone
[06:43.65]The spirit of '76
