Greg Brown - Downtown
Tekst :
Yes I could stay home, I could read a book or two
I could try to get a little bit better at some of the bad things that I do
but the night is young. So I m out for a little while
I m gonna put on my hat and coat and pants and boots and my smile.
N I m gonna go downtown tonight
All around the town,
checkin out all the sights.
I ll be back in the morning
Feelin bad or good
Gonna do what I want and I ain t gonna what I should.
Well, now, if you ever checked it out you know jus what I mean
There s always a few surprises in that same old scene
You might meet some fella who can really blow the horn
Make you glad for a change you done got born.
Don t you wanna go downtown tonight?
Uptown, downtown, all aroun the town,
checkin out all the little sights.
So we ll be back in the mornin
Feelin bad or good
I do what I want and I don t do what I should.
Some of the people that I meet they say they love the mountains best
When I look around in the city I jus see one big wilderness
Squirrels are writin tickets, dolphins drivin cars
Globefish blowin tubas, grizzly bears in the bars
N I gonna go downtown tonight
I m gonna go all aroun the town
I m gonna check out all the sights
I ll be back in the mornin
Feelin bad or good
I do what I want and I don t do what I should.
Yeah, oh but I might get lucky, I might run into my friend Jane
Walk to her apartment in the sooty city rain
Put on a little record, gonna be so long and tall
I m a-gonna be the wallpaper, Jane gonna be the wall
N I wanna go downtown tonight
I wanna go all aroun the town
Wanna check out all the sights.
I ll be back in the mornin
Feelin bad or good
Gonna do what I want and I don t do what I should.
Ain t you ever known that magic hour just before the dawn
When the morning is still sleepy but the night is not yet gone?
And you re walking home from some little joint with somebody you love
With the moon and the stars and the bells and the birds all ring-a ding-a
dong-a up above?
Don t you wanna go downtown, tonight?
Let s go downtown tonight
Let s go all aroun the town
Let s go check out all the sights
An we be back in the mornin
Feelin bad or good
I do what I want and I don t do what I should.
Inne utwory
No place away Pound it on down Nice when it rains All the little places Lately Back home again Summer evening Famous friends Lullaby Young Robin Speed trap boogie Milk of the moon Payday Marriage chant Out in the country Just live Our little town Losowe utwory
Driving in my car
Feeling alright
City lights so bright
Bring back my memories
Pictures of that night
Holding you tight
Now you’re so far away
Light-years away from me
Sometimes I feel
I feel you by my side
You are a part of me
Deep inside
Oh...
When I look back on all we d said and done
Was it innocence hungry for what was to come
No fear in our hearts our days had just begun
We had nothing to lose we had already won
I get to thinking about it...
Ja, Vater, du bist noch vom ganz alten Schlag,
seit vierzig Jahren pünktlich – jeden Tag.
Du warst nie krank und bist noch drauf stolz.
Na und, was soll s?
Wann hast du jemals richtig Urlaub gemacht?
Dein ganzes Leben für n Betrieb mitgedacht.
Deinen Job macht jetzt ein Stück Silikon.
Wen juckt das schon?
Wen juckt das...
Anyone can see I love you
Anyone can see I care
The way I hold your hand
And smile in your direction
Shows the world my heart is filled
With nothing but affection
Lock me in your arms forever
That is where...
In the world today
You cannot play
You know everybody s watchin
Yea, watchin today
The world
Is full of sea creatures
Heaven
is full of sea godsssssssssss
Chorus:
This is the sea of gods
This is the sea of gods
Everywhere we try to...
