เพลง Shape of Things to Come

Shape of Things to Come - The Kingston Trio/Paul McCartney (保罗·麦卡特尼)

Completely round is the perfect pearl

The oyster manufactures

Completely round is the steering wheel

That leads to compound fractures

Completely round is the golden fruit

That hangs in the upper orange tree

Yes

The circle shape is quite reknowned

'Tis sad to say it can be found

In the low down dirty run around

My true love gave to me

Yes

My true love gave to me

Completely square was the velvet box

He said

My ring would be in

Completely square was the envelope

He said

Farewell to me in

Completely square was the handkerchief

I flourish constantly

As it dries my eyes of the tears I shed

And blows my nose 'til it turns bright red

For a perfect square is my true love's head

He will not marry me

No

He will not marry me

Rectangular was the hotel door

My true love try to sneak through

Rectangular was the transom over

Which

I had to peek through

Rectangular was the hotel room

I entered angrily

Now rectangular is the wooden box

Where lies my love 'neath the golden flox

They say he died of the chicken pox

In part I must agree

One chick too many had he

Triangular is the piece of pie

I eat to ease my sorrow

Triangular is the hatchet blade

I plan to hide tomorrow

Triangular the relationship

That now has ceased to be

And triangular is the garment thin

That fastens on with a safety pin

To a prize I had no wish to win

It's a lasting memory that

My true love

Gave to me
