Текст песни Eight Hundred Dollar Shoes (Elton John) с переводом

You had your grand illusion and wrestled with your fate

The winter of your discontent came twenty years too late

If it was love and I was there I’ve forgotten where it lives

We both stepped off a frozen rock onto a burning bridge

You came like an invasion all bells and whistles blowing

Reaping the rewards of the fable you’d been sowing

I saw you cross the landing and descending marble stairs

Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon you seemed to walk on air

Yea I’ve seen your movie

And I read it in your book

The truth just flew off every page

Your songs have all the hooks

You’re seven wonders rolled in one

You shifted gear to cruise

Oh you came to town in headlines

And eight hundred dollar shoes

Oh the bellboys are crying and moneys changing hands

Your cloak and dagger legacy’s gone home to no man’s land

The marquee lights are flickering your poster’s fading fast

Your being here just melts away like ice cubes in a glass

Oh you came to town in headlines

And eight hundred dollar shoes
