Karaoke skladba The Boxer od: Simon & Garfunkel

Text písně:

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles
such are promises

All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
Hmm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Hmm
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway
station running scared
Laying low,
seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places
only they would know

Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
li, laili lai, lai

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers,
Just a comeon from the whores
on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times
when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
li, laili lai, lai

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters
aren't bleeding me
Bleeding me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains
Mmm mm mm

Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
li, laili lai, lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai,
lai li li, lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
li, laili lai, lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, lai, lai
li, laili lai, lai lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
Lie la lie, Lie la lie, li, laili lai, lai
li, laili lai, lai ...
