Dogtown

1.Dogtown (Harry Chapin) sözleri

Harry Chapin tarafından Heads And Tales albümünde söylenen Dogtown adlı şarkının sözleri.

Up in Massachusetts There's a little spit of land.
The men who make the maps, yes, they call the place Cape Ann.
The men who do the fishing call it Gloucester Harbor Sound,
But the women left behind, they call the place Dogtown.


The men go out for whaling, past the breakers and the fogs.
The women stay home waiting they're protected by the dogs.
A tough old whaler woman who had seen three husbands drown,
Polled the population and she named the place Dogtown.


There's all these grey faced women in their black widow's gowns,
Living in this grave yard granite town.
Yeah, you soon learn there's many more than one way to drown;
That's while going to the dogs here in Dogtown.


And she speaks: My father was a merchant all in the Boston fief.
When my husband came and asked him for my hand.
But little did I know then that a Gloucester whaler's wife
Marries but the sea salt and the sand.


He took me up to Dogtown the day I was a bride.
We had ten days together before he left my side.
He's the first mate of a whaling ship,
the keeper of the log.
He said, "Farewell, my darling, I'm going to leave you with my dog."


And I have seen the splintered timbers of a hundred shattered hulls,
Known the silence of the granite and the screeching of the gulls,
I've heard that crazy widow Cather walk the harbor as she raves
At the endless rolling whisper of the waves.


Sitting by the fireside, the embers slowly die.
Is it a sign of weakness when a woman wants to cry?
The dog is closely watching the fire glints in his eye.
No use to go to sleep this early, no use to even try.


My blood beats like a woman's,
I've got a woman's breast and t

Yoko Ono tarafından albümünde söylenen Dogtown adlı şarkının sözleri.

okay.

The town’s dawningI’m the only one awake.
The streets are whistlingI light my fourth cigarette.
I think of my friendsthey were once not so dead.
What are they thinking now?

One day I’ll be just a little stone
Nobody’ll know that the stone had such emotions.
AnywayI’m always on the run.
Someday I’ll be remembered for the phone calls I never made
Letters I never mailed
And stories I never finished telling anyone.

The town’s yawningI let my dog walk me around.
He took a shoot and people smiled
I tried the same and people frowned.
Yesit’s a dogdogtown.

One day let’s be a pair of trees
Nobody’ll know that the trees had such a history.
Anywaywe’d never be this lonely.
Someday I’ll be remembered for the fine words I meant to keep
A warm smile I meant to leave
And a true song I meant to finish writing all my life.

Yesit’s a dogtownit’s a dogtown
Yesit’s a dogtownit’s a dogtown.
Dogdogdogdogdogdogdogdogdogtown.

Peas porridge in the pot nine years old.

Against All Authority tarafından albümünde söylenen Dogtown adlı şarkının sözleri.

the old irish curse showed up in a hearse
picked me up and dropped me off at a well
now you show in the ruins, ask me how i'm doing
baby can't you tell?

stuck in a dog town again
not gonna back down my friend
i'll hold the rope til the end
how long to the bottom of the row?

i slipped into sin or something, now i'm all f...ed up
what are you doing here?
things that feel good make it hard to say no, so
let's get one thing clear

(we're all)
stuck in a dog town again
not gonna back down my friend
i'll hold the rope til the end
how long to the bottom of the row?

we've been shot down
i can feel you
can you feel this?
can you feel this?

(you know what i'm talking about)
you're too true to be good
let it be understood
i'll give you back to your wings
it's not love but it's the next best thing
