Translation
Barfly
London kicks
The backwards lookers
The late risers
The huggers on the tube
A sun-boding sky
That goes on keeping itself rainy
Will grow lonely people
Like fish in a bowl
Somebody throws the bit in the air
Others learn how to make coffees
Brains drain away on Alitalia,
Yes, the hands on Ryanair though
And I should've expected
That you would've brought trouble
Yes, but singing about you is the only way
Not to let you go ever
Not to let you go ever
And where you to now?
I've been told Barfly closed
You've got other places to get drunk at
Other beds to fall asleep on
Other friends to complain about me with
And I know I left you
Like a whisper in the racket
Or a retired exorcist
That hangs the cross up
We wanted to be like signs
Lighten up in Oxford Street
Be firm points
Not dots on the i-s
And where you to now?
I've been told Barfly closed
You've got other places to get drunk at
Other beds to fall asleep on
Other friends to complain about me with, yea-yeah
Darling, you have to wake up or you'll be late for your shift
I've got seeds inside my head, they say "Leave and run away from here"
On Saturday I go out at 4, shall we go to the theatre to see John Cage?
Fuck, look at the tickets, too much for two minimum-waged people
Darling, you have to wake up or you'll be late for your shift
I've got seeds inside my head, they say "Leave and run away from here"
Life, yes, taken from Britain, hard but silent like John Cage
Fuck, look at the tickets, too much for two minimum-waged people
And where you to now?
I've been told Barfly closed
You've got other places to get drunk at
Other beds to fall asleep on
Other friends to complain about me with, yea-yeah
