Текст песни House Rent Party (Peter Case) с переводом

She was standin' on the corner of wonderland and woe

Waitin' for the light to change and wonderin' where to go

Take the bottles to the grocery, the records to the shop

Or step out on the sidewalk and make some traffic stop

'Cause the phone is disconnected, landlord’s at the door

Tow truck at the curb side’s here to repossess the Ford

And there’s a house rent party tonight, everybody shake

We’re gonna blow the roof sky high, see how much we can take

When they put you on the street, you can sit and watch the dawn

But there’s something you can do when you’re last gold dollar’s gone

He’s in his double breasted jacket and some cherry wing tip shoes

Big 'ol hat with a feather high and a pocket flask of booze

But he can’t afford the treatments and there ain’t no other cure

Sad to say without no pay, he won’t get well no more

Then the night falls up on Broadway, the neon starts to shine

The dancers in the love act are gettin' ready for the grind

And there’s a house rent party tonight, everybody shake

People come from miles around, now we’re gonna catch a break

I know we’re gonna make it, don’t care what I have to do

'Cause I know you’d do the same for me as I would do for you

And there’s a house rent party tonight

So I bought a lucky ticket and pinned it to the shelf

I put one away for you baby and kept one for myself

I’m gonna take my winnings, I’m gonna disappear

I’m gonna start a brand new band, we’ll play anywhere but here

'Cause nothin’s comin' in, sugar, nothin’s goin' out

When there’s nothin' left to talk about seems all we do is shout

And there’s a house rent party tonight, everybody shake

We’re gonna blow the roof sky high, see how much we can take

'Cause nothin’s comin' in, sugar, nothin’s goin' out

There’s nothin' left to talk about and all we do is shout

And there’s a house rent party tonight
