Текст песни Courtship Of America (Hunters & Collectors) с переводом

Fair weather friends they wished you well

Showered you with admiration

Now the glass is cracked but you can’t turn back

Don’t let it break your concentration

Scratched your name on the dotted line

For romance any risk is worth taking

«Don't worry» they say «you'll be rich one day»

Ten years later your hand is still shaking

Won’t you take a chance my friend

You’ve got nothing to lose in the end

Come on scratch my back and I’ll see you in America

Now when the piper calls the tune

Songs of joy and desperation

If you’re flat on your face just keep your hair in place

There’ll be no lack of cheap conversation

So when you’re wandering the streets

At four o’clock in the morning

There’s only you and some stray sniffin' around Times Square'

Way over there

So if you’ve got a message to send

And it’s driving you round the bend

Come on scratch my back

And I’ll see you in America

They bought Manhattan for a song

A few fishhooks for a nation

At the scene of the crime what’s yours will be mine

If you give me the right combination

It’s amazing who you meet

When you’re on your last legs and fading

Merry go round again yeah I’ll see you then

But it’ll take some heavy persuasion

Won’t you take a chance my friend

You got nothing to lose in the end

Just swallow the bait before it’s too late

Come on I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine

We’ll schmooze each other 'til the end of time

Into the heavens everlasting

I’ll see you in America

Come on and scratch my back

When you’re stuck in the track

Take a chance my friend
