Luyện nghe bài hát A Dog In The Manger

Two a.m., a southbound junction, takes flight
Common sense has all function, stranded in the night
The has flown the nest, he's breaking family ties
He recalls his mother with her hands held to her eyes
His alcoholic father was too drunk to know or
That the rod not spared had this child, his only son and heir

The lights have pulled him southward, magnets in his mind
Where the streets are paved with gold and lady is kind

The boy wants some attention, he's wasting our time
He'll never on his own, for he's no son of mine

There's thousands more just like him, seeking love they've found
No and home to call his own, our fox has run to ground
His father him right from wrong and beat him black and blue
Caressed the boy with his clenched fist, the only way he

He never went to school much 'cause he could not disguise
The weals and bruises on his legs, the rings his eyes

He only needed a family to help him to
All he has is a to ride on the poverty line

He stirs from his gin and Temazapam
To find while he slept someone has him over
His things are all missing or strewn the floor
And he can't quite recall the of the evening before

As cars by, our young prince waits, behind his cardboard shield
An Oxfam crown upon his head, his thumb a sword to
A clad knight of the road, the quest is underway
Drawn by glowing street lights in the night, and by day

The city lights have pulled him southward, in his mind
Where the are paved with gold and lady luck is kind

The boy only wants some attention, wasting our time
He only needed a family to help him to

never survive on his own, for he's no son of mine
All he has is a to ride on the poverty line
