Greg Brown - Speed trap boogie
Tekst :
It s a nice little town
It s a clean little town
It s a nice little, clean little, happy little, friendly little
------------ town for miles around
But you re speedin
Speedin
Pull it over
Roll down the window
And lay your money down
We got a new swimmin pool
We got a new town hall
A new old folks home and a bowlin alley
You didn t see none a that at all
You re speedin
Speedin
Pull it over
Roll down the window
And lay your money down
I know it s 3o clock in the morn
I know that you been drivin through
Corn, corn, corn
Your eyes are red and you look unhappy
Here is my advice
Check into a motel
Folks here are real nice
(instrumental break)
Your left tail light s out
I m gonna let that pass
I see your license expired yesterday
And I believe you re nearly out of gas
And you re speedin
Speedin
Pull it over
Roll down the window
And lay your money down
Just lay it down
Cash
Now
It s the town ------
We live here
You can t go twelve through here
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 Milk of the moon Payday Marriage chant Out in the country Downtown Just live Our little town Losowe utwory
W tym świecie, gdzie niepewna każda z dróg
zdarza się…
nie mogłem w to uwierzyć, że w tej mgle,
że w tym morzu zła możliwe jest,
by dane było nam oglądać świat
ze wszystkich stron
tego lustra
jeśli to prawda, że to miłość
dlaczego tak boli…
Bliskość oddala nas
prawdę obnaża nagle
bliskość oddala nas
dlaczego…
dlaczego bliskość oddala nas
słowa złe w dobre...
When the people lead
the leaders they will have to follow
and all their lies and their alibies
they will have to swallow
and it s you that has the authority
for the one who is right
is the majority
when the people lead
people take the lead
children you ve got to take your lead
or you shall be...
I m sitting in my room
I m looking thru the window
I see raindrops falling down
and I can hear the wind blow
I wonder where you are
I wonder what you do
I won t make it on my own
Seek and you may find
The love you want in your life
How can you be sure
Is what you re looking for
BRIDGE
I want you tell me who you are
Where can you be
Is it that you are someone...
A Letter of Acceptance, From An Old Forgotten Friend
A Little Piece of History, You Thought You d Never See Again
Like the Broken Plymouth, and the Boat With the Hole
It Was a Sticky Situation, and You Knew You Had to Roll
Well You Knew You Had to Roll
A Finger Under Your Conscience,...
