Текст песни I Can See Elvis (Mike Scott) с переводом

I can see Elvis

Skinny like he was back in '57

Razor quiffed and leather squeezed

Sideburns flickering in the breeze

That blows across the veils of heaven

I can see Elvis

Throned like a king astride a golden Harley

Smoking a reefer he just rolled

Full of Acapulco Gold

With Hendrix, Dean and Marley

I can see Elvis

Prowling like a cat across a funky bandstand

Keith Moon behind him banging drums

Charlie Parker all thumbs

John Lennon doing handstands

I can see Elvis

Talking philosophy and law with Joan of Arc and Plato

Quizzing Shakespeare on his plays

Showing Crazy Horse and Marvin Gaye

How to dance the mashed potato

I can see Elvis

High and low and high and low and high he’s hunting

Looking for a special prey who only just arrived up here today

Break out the bunting

I can see Elvis

He’s writing something down

In a little leather journal

And he revolved the words he wrote

«I'm gonna slit the throat of that skinflint the Colonel!»

I can see Elvis

I can see Elvis

I can see Elvis

I can see Elvis

I can see Elvis

I can see Elvis

Elvis!

Elvis!

(Doo- wop doo-wop doo- wop doo-wop …)
