Текст песни:

This place was once a home,
But now you're gone.
Gone like the sun,
You took away,
It was coming so they say.

This boy and his heavy heart,
Were feeling small.
Kicking around the leaves,
It seems,
We're so vacant after all.

There's nothing more to say,
Let me sleep these dreams away,

We'll check out soon.
Me and the Belle,
She knows me so well,
She don't want my soul,
She's not in control.
Oh, find me place,
A discounted space,
A hole in the ground,
Nobody's favourite now.

This night,
This pretty light,
With my best friends.
Keeping the hounding dogs away,
From my window night and day.

This place was once a home
But now it's still
All of the stars are sleeping low
On my broken windowsill

Won't you let me be
Just the old has-beens and me

I'll check out soon
Rolling in style
Be gone for a while
A million and one
Has-beens in the sun
Pretending to care
Going nowhere
Floating around
Nobody's favourite now

Well there's nothing more to say
Let me sleep these dreams away

And won't you let me be
Just the old has-beens and me

We'll check out soon
Rolling in style
Be gone for a while
A million and one
Has-beens in the sun
Pretending to care
Oh going nowhere
Just floating around
Nobody's favourite... now

  • Well there's nothing more to add before I leave This thing of ours is dead but don't you grieve Is it me or are they younger every night? Just because they can it doesn't make it all right I'm hanging by my teeth waiting on quick relief While the kids don't sleep for days I could die in a hundred odd ways And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried Well it terrifies the life from out of me It's really such a lazy way to be Hiding in the bedroom climbing up the walls You've got to kick it out of me gently Till it begs and pleads and crawls And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried And wont you make sure My mother gets half my weight in gold Tell her I just did what I was told Grab your expensive coat and bury it inside But don't tell me you could do it if you tried
  • Well she’s halfway over this hard on son She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she’s quite sure she’s not the only one She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving Well there’s a quiver up her backbone, dogs in the dust She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she’ll take what she needs and she’ll do what she must She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving There’s a raw bone whisper underneath the cover Louder than a dead man’s drum There’s a joke that they told her when she got much older When she knew just what she’d become Oh let me tell ya that she’s… One part evil, three-fifths blind She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she’s oh so delicate and still don’t mind She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving Well there’s a chance that she knows where the bodies are kept She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she still don’t remember the tears that she wept She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving There’s a raw bone whisper underneath the cover Louder than a dead man’s drum There’s a joke that they told her when she got much older When she knew just what she’d become Oh let me tell ya now… Well she’s all too generous with my time She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And she knows that injustice is no real crime She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving And I will always remember the way that she crawled She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving When I throw up in the rain she pretends she’s appalled She’s not gone yet but she’s leaving There’s a raw bone whisper underneath the cover Louder than a dead man’s drum There’s a joke that they told her when she got much older When she knew just what she’d become
  • Well it's a big big city and it's always the same Это очень большой город, и ничего не меняется. Can never be too pretty tell me your name Красоты много не бывает... Скажи, как тебя зовут? Is it out of line if I were simply bold to say "Would you be mine"? А что если я наберусь наглости и скажу: "Будь моей!" Because I may be a beggar and you may be the queen Ведь я могу быть нищим, а ты — королевой. I know I may be on a downer I'm still ready to dream Пусть я на транквилизаторах, я всё равно готов мечтать. Though it's 3 o'clock, the time is just the time it takes for you to talk. Хотя сейчас 3 ночи — как раз самое время поговорить. So if you're lonely why'd you say you're not lonely Если ты совсем одна, почему говоришь, что не одна? Oh you're a silly girl, I know I hurt it so Ах ты, глупышка, не обижайся, It's just like you to come Просто похоже, что ты сама не знаешь, чего хочешь. And go you know me no you don't even know me Думаешь, что знаешь? Нет, ты совсем не знаешь меня. You're so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye, Ты такая милая, я сразу тебя заметил – A girl like you's just irresistible Девушка вроде тебя просто неотразима. Well it's a big, big city and the lights are all out Это очень большой город, его огни погасли. But it's as much as I can do you know to figure you out Но, знаешь, это всё, что я могу сделать, чтобы понять твою суть. And I must confess, my heart's in broken pieces Должен признаться, моё сердце разбито, And my head's a mess А в голове у меня ни одной связной мысли. And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along Сейчас 4 утра, и я иду Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong Мимо призраков всех пьяниц, которые когда-то здесь бедокурили. And it's you, woo hoo И лишь от тебя, That's got me going crazy for the things you do От того, что ты делаешь, у меня голова кругом! So if you're crazy, I don't care, you amaze me И даже если ты не в своем уме, мне это не важно — я восхищен тобой, Oh you're a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk Глупышка. О Боже, не может быть, ты мне отвечаешь! I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry Я потрясен, ты улыбаешься, ты смеешься, я плачу. And only, a girl like you could be lonely И знаешь, только такая девушка, как ты, может быть одинока. And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same (Ужасно, если ты так же думаешь обо мне!) A boy like me's just irresistible Парень вроде меня просто неотразим. So if you're lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely Если ты совсем одна, почему говоришь, что не одна? Oh you're a silly girl, I know I hurt it so Ах ты, глупышка, не обижайся, It's just like you to come and go Просто похоже, что ты сама не знаешь, чего хочешь. And know me, no you don't even know me Думаешь, что знаешь? Нет, ты совсем не знаешь меня. You're so sweet to try oh my, you caught my eye Ты такая милая, я сразу тебя заметил – A girl like you's just irresistible Девушка вроде тебя просто неотразима.

  • Oh my darlin' I’ll go down and commune And tell one hundred souls There’s a fire on the moon I’ll be over the line, I’ll be under the spell I’ll be the comeback kid On his way home from hell Seven nights, seven days Seven wishes that they’ll bury this place Another reason not to get out of bed Show me the way brother Give me a sign sister I’m not the only one who’s waiting to be born I see the day coming I see the time running out I see all of my dreams ragged and torn Well my darling all my sympathy’s gone And my sunsets are strange My time’s getting on And they’ll rip me to shreds like it has never been seen Because I never convinced them that I meant what I mean Seven nights, seven days Seven wishes that they’ll bury this place Another reason not to get out of bed Show me the way brother Give me a sign sister I’m not the only one who’s waiting to be born I see the day coming I see the time running out I see all of my dreams ragged and torn I see all of my dreams ragged and torn I see all of my dreams ragged and torn Seven nights, seven days Seven wishes that they’ll bury this place Another reason not to get out of bed Another reason not to Another reason not to Another reason not to Another reason not to Another reason not to get out of bed Show me the way brother Give me a sign sister I’m not the only one who’s waiting to be born I see the day coming I see the time running out I see all of my dreams ragged and torn I see all of my dreams ragged and torn I see all of my dreams ragged and torn I see all of my dreams ragged and torn
