"25 Minutes to Go" is a song by Shel Silverstein, from his 1962 album ''Inside Folk Songs''. ==Lyrics== The song is literally "gallows humor", as it is sung by a man awaiting his own execution by hanging. Each verse consists of two lines, of which the first line is anything from humorous to poignant, and the second line is a minute-by-minute countdown. :Well they're buildin' the gallows outside my cell. :I got 25 minutes to go. :And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell. :I got 24 minutes to go. The song is similar in concept to Silverstein's children's song "Boa Constrictor": It presents the point of view of someone who is experiencing a calamity in "real time," composing and singing as the events unfold, with a fatal conclusion. "Boa Constrictor", like "25 Minutes to Go", appeared on Silverstein's 1962 album ''Inside Folk Songs''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「25 Minutes to Go」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
