In Chocolate Town all the trains are painted brown
在巧克力城所有的火车都漆成棕色
On the silver paper of the wrapper
印在包装纸上
There's a dapper little man
这是一个衣冠楚楚的小个子男人
And he wears a wax mustache
他留着蜡制的胡子
That he twists with nicotine fingers
他用尼古丁手指扭动身体
As he drops his cigarette ash
当他放下烟灰
Someone comes and sleeps with it
有人来了抱着它入睡
Then he doffs his cap
他摘下帽子
There's a rat in someone's bedroom
有人的卧室里有只老鼠
They're shutting someone's trap
他们在关闭别人的陷阱
They'll soon be pulling down the little palaces
他们很快就会推倒小宫殿
And the doors swing back and forward from
车门前后摆动
The past into the present
从过去到现在
And the bedside crucifixion turns from wood to phosphorescent
床边的十字架从木头变成了磷光
And they're moving problem families from
他们把问题家庭从
The South up to the North
从南方到北方
Mother's crying over some soft soap opera divorce
母亲为一些闹剧中的离婚伤心落泪
And you say you didn't do it but
你说不是你干的但是
You know you did of course
你知道你做到了
And they'll soon be pulling down the little palaces
他们很快就会推倒小宫殿
It's like shouting in a matchbox
就像在火柴盒里怒吼
Filled with plasterboard and hope
充满希望
Like a picture of Prince William in
就像威廉王子的照片
The arms of John the Pope
教宗若望的怀抱
There's a world of good intentions and pity in their eyes
他们的眼中充满善意和怜悯
The sedated homes of England theirs to vandalize
镇静剂下的英国家园任其破坏
So you knock the kids about a bit because
They've got your name
他们知道你的名字
And you knock the kids about a bit until
They feel the same
感觉都一样
And they feel like knocking down the little palaces
感觉就像推倒了小小的宫殿
You're the twinkle in your daddy's eye
你是你爸爸眼中的光芒
A name you spray and scribble
You made the girls all turn their heads and in turn
你让姑娘们转过头来
They made you miserable
他们让你痛苦不堪
To be the heir apparent to the kingdom of the invisible
成为无形王国的继承人
So you knock the kids about a bit because
They've got your name
他们知道你的名字
And you knock the kids about a bit until
They feel the same
感觉都一样
And they feel like knocking down the little palaces
感觉就像推倒了小小的宫殿
