英语歌曲:生命完整的样子 Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

（单词翻译）

生命完整的样子 Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

When are you gonna come down

When are you going to land

I should have stayed on the farm

I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever

I didn't sign up with you

I'm not a present for your friends to open

This boy's too young to be singing the blues¹

chorus

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl² in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad³
Oh I've finally decided⁴ my future lies

Beyond the yellow brick road
What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics⁵

To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement⁶
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing⁷ for tidbits like you on the ground

[repeat chorus]
