Greg Brown - Our little town
Tekst :
Now the railroad came generations ago
And the town grew up as the crops did grow
The crops grew well and the town did too
They say it s dyin now and there ain t a thing we can do
I don t have to read the news
Or hear it on the radio
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
The cost goes up
What we made comes down
What s gonna happen to our little town
The summer is full of thunder
The kids run and play
Momma got a new wrinkle
Poppa ain t got much to say
Rust grows along the railroad track
The young folks leave
They don t come back
And I don t have to read the news
Or hear it on the radio
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
The boards go up
The signs come down
What s gonna happen to our little town
Tom lost his farm
And we lost Tom
He left in the night
I don t know where he s gone
What he d lost
He just couldn t face
What we re losin can t be replaced
I don t have to read the news
Or hear it on the radio
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
The reason we re here
Is the farms around
So what s gonna happen to our little town
We ve seen hard times
Many times before
Maybe this whole thing is just one more
It never was perfect
Maybe no one s to blame
To see it die like this
It s a god damned shame
And I don t have to read the news
Or hear it on the radio
I see it in the faces of everyone I know
The sun comes up
The sun goes down
But what s gonna happen to our little town
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 Downtown Just live Losowe utwory
I ve been standing on the edge of the roof looking down
I ve been looking at the people that are gathering around
I ve been here for an hour or maybe even more
just looking at the people that I ve never seen before
stupid...
Sitting in this room, dark and gloom
Four walls look to me to be Hell
Sitting in this room sucks so bad
And I might as well be off in jail
Everybody outside these walls to me seem so plastic
They seem so phony and so unreal
They tell you do this, don t do that
Do...
E e un timp al banilor
in care noi acum traim
cand altii in jur ofteaza grabiti
noi inca vietii ii zambim
II.
Banii pot cumpara aproape totul
dar nimic din toate nu-si are rostul
sa fii bun ...
doar dragostea ne-nvata
hai sa luam o pauza de viata
III.
Ti se soptesc numai minciuni
rostite cu-atata eleganta
nu mai putem...
Just the slightest touch of you
sends my passion rushing through
and baby you can always count on me
because you answer all my fantasy
BRIDGE
And when the weekend people wanna knock you down
remember we all fly to higher ground...
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...
