作词 : Nick Cave 作曲 : Nick Cave When i first came to town All the people gathered round They bought me drinks Lord, how they quickly changed their tune When i first came to town People took me round from end to end Like someone may take round a friend O how quickly they changed their tune Suspicion and dark murmurs surround me Everywhere i go they confound me As though the blood on my hands Is there for every citizen to see O sweet jesus There is no turning back There is always one more town A little further down the track And from my window, across the tracks I watch the juicers burn their fires And in that light Their faces leer at me How i wish they'd just let me be When i first came to town Their favours were for free Now even the doors of the whores of this town Are closed to me I search the mirror And i try to see Why the people of this town Have washed their hands of me O sweet jesus There is no turning back There is always one more town A little further down the track O lord, every god-damn turn i take I fear the noose, i fear the stake For there is no bone They did not break In all the towns i've been before Well those that sin against me are snuffed out I know from every day that i live God-damn the day that i was born The night that forced me from the womb And god-damn this town For i am leaving now But one day i will return And the people of this town will surely see Just how quickly the tables turn O sweet jesus This really is the end There is always one more town A little further round the end
