Land Lovers - As Low As Possible

Текст

As I roved out, Westport Bridge Street
Nearly twelve years old and my eyes were on my feet
I was bang in step to those post-showband ballads
And the hotel lobby promised Strawberry Beds and Sonny

As a lowly cipher then, that seemed encrypted: and I drifted
Off on a song
Sent from the Turkish winter, three cassettes for a tenner
Played as low as possible

Then on a white Cretan terrace near the sun
The breaks were fierce and the children always won
The staff took their beatings well and stuck to singing
Is She Really Going Out With Him?

Joe Jackson, Prefab Sprout and Tears for Fears: painted-on ears
Offered a song
Nothing I sought or wanted, music had been invented
Played as low as possible

If there's a moment, one moment of importance
And that's uncertain as life on other planets
Then it's the morning you landed in our garage
Holding a camera, some distant scientist tracking your moves

You presented me, the native, with a clock around which to rock
Oh, and a song
Nothing I sought or wanted, music was re-invented
Played as low as...
Played as low as...

Перевод

Когда я ехал по Вестпорт-Бридж-стрит
Мне было почти двенадцать лет, и мои глаза были на ногах
Я шел в ногу с этими балладами после шоу-групп
А в вестибюле отеля обещали Strawberry Beds и Сынок

Тогда это был скромный шифр, который казался зашифрованным: и я улетел
На песню
Прислали из турецкой зимы, три кассеты за десятку
Включали как можно тише
Затем на белой критской террасе возле солнца
Перерывы были жестокими, и дети всегда побеждали
Персонал хорошо переносил побои и продолжал петь
Она действительно идет с ним на свидание?

Джо Джексон, Prefab Sprout и Tears for Fears: нарисованные уши
Предложили песню
Ничего из того, что я искал или хотел, музыка была изобретена
Включалась как можно тише

Если есть момент, один важный момент
И он неопределенен, как жизнь на других планетах
Тогда это утро, когда вы приземлились в нашем гараже
Держите камеру, какой-то далекий ученый отслеживает ваши движения
Ты подарил мне, туземцу, часы, вокруг которых можно качаться
О, и песню
Ничего из того, что я искал или хотел, музыка была изобретена заново
Играла так тихо, как...
Сыграл всего...
