Текст песни Just The Other Day (Captain Tractor) с переводом

You could hardly call it sublime

But it was a pretty good time

She was resplendent in her fashion

But she lacked that certain passion

And I was such a keener

For the lifestyle that had weaned her

It was such a different scene

And I tried to grow up mean

And I met her in Alberta

But never uttered a word-a

Of feelings that I had

Even when I felt real bad

And life is so contrary

Teenage years are scary

Experience was nil

And I see her still

In the bar from the libraries

Wars and bowls of cherries

The poetry of ages

The rosemaries and the sages

And the wheat and wind and dirtiness

The prairies and the earthiness

The clumsiness of youth

And the wisdom and the truth

I was thinking just the other day

Was it fun, was it dumb, was it right?

Guess I’ll get a case of beer

Looks like I’m gonna be up all night

Well it was neat and almost forgotten

Not quite like Johnny Rotten

All the punkers drank their fill

And they puked on the windowsill

Of a blurry, uncertain future

While bustin' all the sutures

Of a past tattooed with pain

Impossible to explain

And it took about forty full moons

And a hundred thousand sad tunes

And a million barricades

A bad version of Purple Haze

To lift the rusty visor

Of the jaded knight inside her

Saw the starting gun

And life went on the run

I was thinking just the other day

Was it fun, was it dumb, was it right?

Guess I’ll get a case of beer

Looks like I’m gonna be up all night

Well I tried to stay behind her

But the slipstream’s a sidewinder

And I tripped on an ideal

And my heart burned and peeled

So I collected my resources

And I ate about seven courses

And a dozen bad mistakes

Served on silver plates

She lived happily ever after

And I got caught in the laughter

Emitted by the stream

Of an adolescent dream

And I wound up in the alley

Where the broken hearts would rally

Against a world of hurt

And we ate it for dessert

So I lost her in Alberta

And since then I never heard of

Her vision or her light

Or her blindness of her night

Me, I’m parallel with danger

Now that she’s become a stranger

Gotta laugh when it hits the surface

Too bad the past can’t find a purchase

I was thinking just the other day

Was it fun, was it dumb, was it right?

Guess I’ll get a case of beer

Looks like I’m gonna be up all night

I’m gonna be up all night
