You Curl Your Toes in Fun / Childhood Heroes / Stabs Instrumental歌词
作曲 : Ian Anderson
[00:39] You curl your toes in fun as you smile at everyone
[00:44] You meet the stares, you're unaware that your doings aren't done
[00:48] And you laugh most ruthlessly as you tell us what not to be
[00:52] But how are we supposed to see where we should run?
[01:46] I see you shuffle in the courtroom with
[01:49] Your rings upon your fingers
[01:51] And your downy little sides
[01:54] And your silver-buckle shoes
[02:00] Playing at the hard case
[02:03] You follow the example of the comic-paper idol
[02:07] Who lets you bend the rules
[02:44] So! Come on ye childhood heroes!
[02:47] Won't you rise up from the pages of your comic-books
[02:50] Your super crooks
[02:52] And show us all the way
[02:57] Well! Make your will and testament
[03:00] Won't you? Join your local government
[03:03] We'll have Superman for president
[03:05] Let Robin save the day
[03:11] You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time
[03:16] The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line
[03:21] And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are
[03:27] And take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars
[03:31] And you wonder who to call on
[04:04] So! Where the hell was Boggles when you needed him last Saturday?
[04:10] And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though?
[04:16] They're all resting down in Cornwall
[04:21] Writing up their memoirs for a paper-back edition
[04:25] Of the Boy Scout Manual
