[00:11.40]Last week I attended a family affair
[00:16.11]And a few remarked upon my recent growth of facial hair
[00:21.18]You look just like your father did
[00:23.67]With that beard someone said
[00:25.89]I answered back I am him
[00:28.44]Even though my old man's dead
[00:30.93]I didn't want to be him
[00:33.99]Well at first I did
[00:36.12]When I loved & looked up to him
[00:38.97]As a little kid
[00:40.95]He sent me to his old school
[00:43.32]I was a numeral with his name
[00:45.66]And he gave me this gold signet ring
[00:48.33]And he wore one just the same
[00:50.64]And I guess that I believed him
[00:53.22]And probably it was true
[00:55.53]When he told me I was just like him
[00:58.26]That's what some fathers do
[01:00.54]But a father's always older
[01:03.03]And my dad was rather tall
[01:07.29]Who says size doesn't matter
[01:09.15]He was big & I was small
[01:22.20]I needed to be big enough
[01:24.15]To be someone someday
[01:26.46]And I learned I had to beat him
[01:28.62]Andthat was the only way
[01:31.53]I learned I had to fight him
[01:33.72]My own flesh blood bone & kin
[01:36.33]But I felt I was just like him
[01:38.85]Can a man's son be his twin?
[01:41.28]First we fought for my mother
[01:43.80]That afforded little joy
[01:46.32]When he left she was heart broken
[01:48.78]And I was still their little boy
[01:51.78]But I started to get bigger
[01:53.46]And to win the ugly game
[01:56.16]When I made a little money
[01:58.62]And I got a bit of fame
[02:01.11]And I saw how this could wound him
[02:03.48]Yes this could do the trick
[02:06.69]And f I made it big enough
[02:08.52]I could kill him off quick
[02:11.04]But how can you murder someone
[02:13.59]In a way that they don't die?
[02:20.37]I didn't want to kill him
[02:22.23]That would be suicide
[02:43.32]I got frightened so I backed off
[02:45.84]I let up and I was through
[02:48.30]And in the end he did himself in
[02:50.67]Usually that's what we do
[02:53.94]I'm alive and he is dead
[02:55.98]And neither of us won
[02:58.11]It's spoiled for the victor
[03:00.33]Once the vanquishing is done
[03:03.54]A man becomes immortal
[03:05.34]Through his daughter or his son
[03:08.55]But when he fears his legacy
[03:10.59]A man can come undone
[03:13.05]And the beard is a reminder
[03:15.30]I'm a living part of him
[03:18.12]Although my father's dead and gone
[03:20.58]I'm his surviving twin

作词 : Wainwright
Last week I attended a family affair
And a few remarked upon my recent growth of facial hair
You look just like your father did
With that beard someone said
I answered back I am him
Even though my old man's dead
I didn't want to be him
Well at first I did
When I loved & looked up to him
As a little kid
He sent me to his old school
I was a numeral with his name
And he gave me this gold signet ring
And he wore one just the same
And I guess that I believed him
And probably it was true
When he told me I was just like him
That's what some fathers do
But a father's always older
And my dad was rather tall
Who says size doesn't matter
He was big & I was small
I needed to be big enough
To be someone someday
And I learned I had to beat him
Andthat was the only way
I learned I had to fight him
My own flesh blood bone & kin
But I felt I was just like him
Can a man's son be his twin?
First we fought for my mother
That afforded little joy
When he left she was heart broken
And I was still their little boy
But I started to get bigger
And to win the ugly game
When I made a little money
