The Old Main Drag

The Old Main Drag
The Pogues

刚来伦敦时我不过十六七岁
When I first came to london I was only sixteen
行李袋里晃荡着百八十块
With a fiver in my pocket and my ole dancing bag
在繁华的街道上转了几圈
I went down to the dilly to check out the scene
我最终在红灯区停下了脚步
And I soon ended up on the old main drag
1们和0们大摇大摆地走在街上
There the he-males and the she-males paraded in style
手里攥着钞票的老头对你会心一笑
And the old man with the money would flash you a smile
漆黑的巷子里，你为了几个钢镚摇尾乞怜
In the dark of an alley you'd work for a fiver
在破败的花街柳巷中干上一发
For a swift one off the wrist down on the old main drag
寒冷的冬夜，这街道也冷得刺骨

但能从路边摊的姐妹手里捞到便宜的粉儿
In the cold winter nights the old town it was chill
没钱的话就软磨硬泡
But there were boys in the cafes who'd give you cheap pills
红灯区里，药可不少
If you didn't have the money you'd cajole or you'd beg
有天晚上我正躺在莱斯特广场边上
There was always lots of tuinol on the old main drag
警察直奔我来，踹了我蛋一脚

在藤街的局子里，他们对我拳打脚踢
One evening as I was lying down by leicester square
还毁了我这张铁饭碗脸蛋
I was picked up by the coppers and kicked in the balls
不知道地铁站里那些四处逃窜的老头
Between the metal doors at vine street I was beaten and mauled
会不会嗑得唾泪横流满地打滚
And they ruined my good looks for the old main drag
等条子们赶去抓他们的时候

我最好能连滚带爬地跑出去
In the tube station the old ones who were on the way out
我躺在原地，喝得迷迷瞪瞪
Would dribble and vomit and grovel and shout
被人吐唾沫，被人砸屎，被人侵犯，被人虐待
And the coppers would come along and push them about
我快没气了，现在要是能
And I wished I could escape from the old main drag
讨到点儿钱爬出这破地方就好了
And now I'm lying here I've had too much booze
I've been spat on and shat on and raped and abused
I know that I am dying and I wish I could beg
For some money to take me from the old main drag
