Текст песни Cross the Line (Pocketbooks) с переводом

I’m asleep on a train on the Zone 2 boundary

Awoken by the weary sigh of a ticket guy

Placating some 'young lady' by his side

I was late, I was tired and I lost my Oyster card

He’s coming on with all this tired bureaucracy

When all I need is empathy and sleep

On the street nothing’s changed since the 1990s

(You've changed, you’re so much older)

Oh, I haven’t changed since '99

(Well I’ve seen your suit)

I’ve still got my paperround

When I get to my desk I’m a different person

(That's a conscious choice you made though)

I’ll manage risks and strategies

(Is that enough?)

Yes, as long as I get paid

I’m a painter, always painting lies

It was all fine

Til a man in a street said that what you’ve done there is just

Cross the line

I’ve no desire to go too far and

Cross the line

Led astray by the city ways and

Cross the line

I don’t know why but I always try for the last word

When you know the last word’s mine

As a kid I would run through the fields and orchards

(What about your hayfever though?)

I’d climb the branches to the top

(What with your vertigo?)

Look I’m making all this up

I’ve a dream of a house with the perfect garden

(Yeah, you and a thousand of others)

The pebble dash and the crazy pave

(And a 4×4?)

Nah, we’d cycle every day

I’m a carpenter

Chip away at dreams

Til a bartender

Said that one of these days all your cycnical ways will just

Cross the line

I’ve no desire to go too far and

Cross the line

Led astray by the city ways and

Cross the line

I don’t know why but I always try for the last word

When you know the last word’s mine

I’d swap some sleep for a fixed emotion

A G&T and some suntan lotion

A bag of chips in a seaside coast town

An empty seat on the underground and

A basement club where there’s space for dancing

A conversation that’s life enhancing

A sudden twist that I’m not expecting

A novelette with a cryptic ending
