[00:01.000] 作曲 : Mark Knopfler
[00:11.83]So many mouths to feed on the farm
[00:13.86]
[00:17.21]Sonny was the second to the last one born
[00:19.45]
[00:22.49]His mamma ran away and his daddy beat him bad
[00:24.87]
[00:27.88]And he grew up wild good love he never had
[00:30.54]He had a left like Henry's hammer
[00:32.08]
[00:33.58]A right like Betty Bamalam
[00:34.72]
[00:36.25]Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread
[00:38.85]And all them sluggers went down like lead
[00:41.65]
[00:52.40]Well he hung with the hoods he wouldn't stroke the fans
[00:55.05]
[00:57.72]But he had dynamite in both his hands
[01:00.70]
[01:03.68]Boom bam like the slammer door
[01:05.64]
[01:08.96]The bell and the can and the bodies on the floor
[01:11.42]Beware
[01:11.82]
[01:13.20]The bear's in town
[01:14.20]Somebody's money says
[01:15.74]The bear's going down
[01:16.62]
[01:17.16]Yeah
[01:18.10]The bear never smiles
[01:19.20]
[01:19.73]Sonny's going down for miles and miles
[01:21.77]
[01:22.48]Sonny's going down for miles and miles
[01:25.25]
[01:30.62]Yeah
[01:31.25]
[01:35.86]The writers didn't like him the fight game jocks
[01:38.27]
[01:41.28]With his lowlife backers and his hands like rocks
[01:43.94]
[01:47.26]They didn't want to have a bogey man
[01:49.87]
[01:52.51]They didn't like him and he didn't like them
[01:54.56]
[01:55.10]Black Cadillac
[01:55.94]
[01:56.50]Alligator boots
[01:57.72]Money in the pockets of his sharkskin suits
[02:00.50]Some say
[02:01.20]
[02:01.75]The bear took a flop
[02:02.69]
[02:03.21]They couldn't believe it when they saw him drop
[02:05.54]He had a left like Henry's hammer
[02:07.15]
[02:08.74]A right like Betty Bamalam
[02:09.97]
[02:11.44]Rode with the muggers in the dark and dread
[02:14.06]And all them sluggers went down like lead
[02:16.60]
[02:27.52]Joe louis was his hero he tried to be the same
[02:29.79]
[02:32.81]But a criminal child wears a ball and chain
[02:35.08]
[02:38.09]So the civil rights people didn't want him on the throne
[02:40.53]
[02:43.52]And the hacks and the cops wouldn't leave him alone
[02:46.12]Beware
[02:46.68]
[02:47.73]The Bear's in town
[02:48.65]
[02:49.20]Somebody's money says
[02:50.61]The Bear's going down
[02:51.92]Yeah
[02:52.43]
[02:53.28]The Bear never smiles
[02:54.63]Sonny's going down for miles and miles
[02:56.71]
[02:57.40]Sonny's going down for miles and miles
[03:00.02]
[03:05.24]Oh yeah
[03:05.61]
[03:10.64]At the foot of his bed with his feet on the floor
[03:13.17]
[03:16.08]There was d**e in his veins and a pistol on the drawer
[03:18.51]
[03:21.56]There was no investigation as such
[03:24.35]
[03:27.34]He hated needles but he knew too much
[03:29.21]
[03:30.00]Criss
[03:30.61]Crossed
[03:31.18]On his back
[03:31.83]
[03:32.39]Scars from his daddy like slavery tracks
[03:35.17]The second last child was the second last king
[03:37.87]Never again was it the same in the ring
[03:40.31]He had a left like Henry's hammer
[03:42.15]
[03:43.06]A right like Betty Bamalam
[03:44.54]
[03:45.93]Rode with the muggers
[03:47.23]In the dark and dread
[03:48.64]And all them sluggers went down like lead
[03:51.21]
[03:56.50]Yeah
[03:57.14]
[04:01.92]They never could be sure about the day he was born
[04:04.51]
[04:07.27]A motherless child set to working on the farm
[04:10.03]
[04:12.70]And they never could be sure about the day he died
[04:15.08]
[04:17.97]The Bear was the king they cast aside beware
[04:20.89]
[04:22.33]The Bear's in town
[04:23.54]Somebody's money says
[04:25.05]The Bear's going down
[04:26.29]Yeah
[04:27.30]The Bear never smiles
[04:28.31]
[04:28.98]Sonny's going down for miles and miles
[04:31.09]
[04:31.73]Sonny's going down for miles and miles
