Richard Hawley — Tonight The Streets Are Ours

Do you know why you got feelings in your heart?
Don’t let fear of me then fool you, what you see sets you apart.
It’s nothing here to bind you, it’s no way for life to start.
Do you know that tonight the streets are ours.
Tonight the streets are ours.
These lights in our eyes, they tell no lies.

Those people, they got nothing in their souls.
And they make our TVs blind us from our visions and our goals.
Oh the trigger of time, it tricks, you so you have no way to grow.
Do you know that tonight the streets are ours.
Tonight the streets are ours.
These lights in our eyes, they tell no lies

And no one else can haunt me the way that you can haunt me
I need to know you want me, I couldn’t be without you,
And the light that shines around you.
No nothing ever matter more than my darling.
But tonight the streets are ours.

Do you know how to kill loneliness at last?
Oh there’s some much there to heel thee
And make tears things of the past.
But do you know that tonight the streets are ours.
Tonight the streets are ours.
These lights in our street are ours.
Tonight the streets are ours.
These lights in our hearts they tell no lies.

Fembots — My Hands Are A City

My hands are a city, my building’s a hundred floors
My fist is a hammer they knock on a hundred doors

My voice is a signal calling out

My hands are a city, my building’s a hundred floors
My fist is a hammer they knock on a hundred doors

My voice is a signal calling out

Won’t you wait a little while

My hands are a city, my mind is a million roads
My heart beats in rhythm, your heart beats in Morse code

Your voice is a signal calling out

Won’t you wait a little while

I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody’s Business — But When The Little Fellow Came Close And Put Both Arms Around His Mother, And Kissed Her In An Appealing Boyish Fashion, She Was Moved To Tenderness

I remember a man who was true to himself,
if he put his mind to something it was done.
He could help everyone just by doing what he loved,
he could work with his hands so good.

But what no one cares to know,
that he works them to the bone.

He comes home to himself
and he sits in his chair,
gets lost inside pictures on the wall.
He’s had some loves in his life
that he’s lost but knows why,
he’s lived with mistakes for so long…

He’s the best man that I know,
he sleeps happy all alone,
he gives me… Hope.

For the best in everyone,
in understanding what we’ve done,
I laugh to myself, it gives me hope.

For the best for what we’ve lost,
to understand when no one wants,
it makes me laugh, it gives me hope.

* * *

I know of this lady who grew up so quickly,
she had a child when she was so young,
Without the time or money to pursue what she wanted,
she slowly lost touch with her love.

I bet she tried to run.
But she didn’t have the guts to leave her
son who was born
on a day in the spring,
grew up to respect her so much
for all that she had lost
and for never giving up, for
loving the mistake that she loved…

Well lady you deserve
more than anyone I know, you give me… Hope.

For the best in everyone,
in understanding what we’ve done,
I laugh to myself, it gives me hope.

For the best for what we’ve lost,
to understand when no one wants,
it makes me laugh, it gives me hope.

* * *

I’m sitting alone and I think to myself:
it’d be great if people could know,
if we wore big tags
or we threw big parties
where only lost people could go.

So we’d never think we’re wrong, and
we’d never feel alone… alone.

Bruce Springsteen — John Henry

История Джона Генри, молотобойца, который победил паровой молот, а потом лёг и умер. Герой фольклора и вообще чёрный парень хоть куда.

* * *

One, two, three!

When John Henry was a little baby
Sittin’ on his daddy’s knee
He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
And cried, “hammer’s gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord
Hammer’s gonna be the death of me”

Now the captain he said to John Henry
“I’m gonna bring that steam drill around
I’m gonna bring that steam drill out on these tracks
I’m gonna knock that steel on down, God, God
I’m gonna knock that steel on down”

John Henry told his captain,
“Lord a man ain’t nothin’ but a man
But before I let this steam drill beat me down
I’m gonna die with a hammer in my hand, Lord, Lord
Die with a hammer in my hand”

Ready Sue!

John Henry driving on the right side
That steam drill driving on the left
Says, “‘fore I’ll let your steam drill beat me down
I’m gonna hammer myself to death, Lord, Lord
I’ll hammer my fool self to death”

Well, captain said to John Henry
“What is that storm I hear?”
John Henry said, “That ain’t no storm
Captain, that’s just my hammer in the air, Lord, Lord
That’s just my hammer in the air”

John Henry said to his shaker
“Shaker, why don’t you sing?
‘Cause I’m swigin’ thirty pounds from my hips on down
Yeah, listen to my cold steel ring, Lord, Lord
Listen to my cold steel ring”

Now John Henry he hammered in the mountains
His hammer was striking fire
But he worked so hard, it broke his heart
John Henry laid his hammer and died, Lord, Lord
John Henry laid down his hammer and died

Well now John Henry he had him a woman
By the name of Polly Ann
She walked out to those tracks, picked up John Henry’s hammer
Polly drove steel like a man, Lord, Lord
Polly drove that steel like a man

Come on!

Well every, every Monday morning
When a bluebird he began to sing
You could hear John Henry from a mile or more
You can hear John Henry’s hammer ring, Lord, Lord
You can hear John Henry’s hammer ring
Set out again!
So you can hear John Henry’s hammer ring, Lord, Lord
You can hear John Henry’s hammer ring
Come on! Woah!

William Fitzsimmons — Everything Has Changed

* * *

Today I saw my father
Standing in the graveyard
Looking very somber
Looking for his mom.
When he finally found her
He said that it was different
Everything is different
Nothing’s really changed.

My brother would remember
Sitting in the hallway
Waiting for my father.
Both of us were scared.
When the doorknob turned we Took off for the stairway
Looking for some cover
Trying to get away.

A guide dog had to serve
The role that you would not let
The mother of your children
Ever really play.
The office was a dungeon
Where you hid your fears of
What would really happen
If no one ever came.

I wonder if you blamed yourself
For when she left you
By closing up the garage door
And turning on the car.
Your father must have lost it
Your sister couldn’t help you.
But dad if you were lonely
You had no where to turn.

Oh, father can’t you see the pieces
That have fallen on the ground
When you and mom decided nothing
Could be saved inside this house?

Everything has changed
Everything has changed

Last night I had a dream that
I was in the graveyard
Looking at my father
Buried in the ground.
I’d swear that I could hear him
Tell me he was sorry
And everything has changed.

Для кого-то Нопфлер — это Дайр Стрейтс и всё прочее. У меня получилось совсем иначе, от Дайр Стрейтс я помню только безумный мульт-клип “Calling Elvis”, а Нопфлер стал большой любовью благодаря звуковой дорожке к «Плутовству» (Wag The Dog).
