Текст песни Johnny Smiled Slowly (Nikki Sudden) с переводом

Now they’re crawling through the doors

Breaking up the chrome and smashing the chairs

Johnny hid by the amps, his head in his hands

Looking for powders and for his way home

And me, I’m still looking for you

Looking at that girl with the torn-up hair

And the boys were all very lonely

So they threw their platforms right down the stairs.

And it was back, way back in the Sixties

When all the rebels sold all their lies

Sold all their trash to castaway pilots

Who only had cash for some more drugs

And I just sat there, I just sat there waiting

For the chalet to fall right down

Into the ocean, like some kind of ritual

For all the boys I never ever knew.

And in the dark, the other side of the city

We’re walking around looking for the scene

And Johnny smiled, sensing the red lights

Pulled his act over and began to freeze

And me I’m so lonely, I don’t really feel it

Walking around could kill me off

And all the boys cried when they missed the party

They all got lost in the foyer of the Ritz.

Johnny smiles slowly, he knows all the answers

Sits with his arm out, he’s slung all the trees

Right in the graveyard by the side of the morgue

I bought a Lagonda-nineteen-fifty-two

We’re looking for something, the next best show

Practice guitar and watch all the cars

And those boys were all lost and quite lonely

They’re still circling round, round the wrong street.

And it was back, way back in the Sixties

When all the rebels sold all their lies

Sold all their trash to castaway pilots

Who only had cash for some more drugs

The Seventies changed, the only ones I’ve known yet

I was too young to remember the rest

I’ve taken the numbers, I’ve walked past the cafe

I’ll win you in the end 'cause that’s just too much.
