Luyện nghe bài hát A Dog In The Manger

Two a.m., a junction, innocence takes flight
Common has lost all function, stranded in the night
The albatross has flown the nest, he's breaking ties
He recalls his weeping 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 city lights have him southward, magnets in his mind
Where the streets are paved with gold and luck is kind

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

There's thousands more like him, seeking love they've never found
No hearth and home to call his own, our fox has run to
His father taught him from wrong and beat him black and blue
Caressed the boy with his fist, the only way he knew

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

He only needed a to help him to shine
All he has is a ticket to ride on the poverty

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

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

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

The boy only wants some attention, he's wasting our
He only needed a to help him to shine

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