Текст песни Lincoln (Pete Gold) с переводом

Lincoln, Lincoln, I know what you’re thinkin'

Livin' in Lincoln ain’t cool

But come to a place where pianos are plinkin'

Lincoln’s Cathedral School

The teachers are friendly, the choirboys polite

And they sing to each other most every night

Ahhahahahahaha

And they churn out good men who’ve got hardly a kink in

But a strong fair of girls is alright

So I’ll send my child to the choir school in Lincoln

The atmosphere’s simply unique

The old-fashioned inkwells no longer have ink in

They threw out the quills just last week

The gamesmaster once played for Lincoln FC

Till he tripped on his shoe lace and fractured his knee

And the strawberry custard’s got far too much pink in

But it just tastes of childhood to me

Eaton is easily beaten

And Harrow’s too narrow for me

I’ll entrust my child’s formative years to a staff room with one GCE

But there’s a whole 'nother Lincoln beyond the school gates

The bright lights are blinkin', adventure awaits

Lincoln, Lincoln, where are glasses are clinkin'

You’re famous for history and pork

With restaurants for eating and winebaths for drinking

And much less graffiti than York

You never display a provincial mindset (No!)

For you’ve two Trusthouse Fortes, a Yates, and a Pret

And though your water supply has high levels of zinc in

It’s hardly killed anyone yet

Lincoln, Lincoln, where car crime is shrinkin'

With thirteen protected car parks

Your drunkards are winkin', your tramps ain’t too stinkin'

But still, don’t go out after dark

And every September a foot-and-mouth cull

No, there’s never a moment that’s boring or dull

And the ODEON Cinema is still showing Krull

And by the same token

You’ve found a new slogan:

«Lincoln, it’s better than Hull!» (It's better than Hull!)
