Текст песни Lovely Woman - Original (Eldridge Holmes) с переводом

Shattered, shattered love and hope

And sex and dreams

Are still surviving on the street

Look at me, I’m in tatters

I’m a shattered, shattered

Friends are so alarming

My lover’s never charming

Life’s just a cocktail party on the street

Big Apple, people dressed in plastic bags

Directing traffic some kind of fashion

Shattered, laughter, joy and loneliness

And sex and sex and sex and sex

Look at me, I’m in tatters

I’m a shattered, shattered

All this chitter-chatter

Chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter

'Bout shmatta, shmatta, shmatta

I can’t give it away on Seventh Avenue

This town’s been wearing tatters

(Shattered, shattered)

Work and work for love and sex

Ain’t you hungry for success

Success, success, success

Does it matter?

(Shattered)

Does it matter?

I’m shattered. shattered

Ahhh, look at me, I’m a shattered

I’m a shattered look at me

I’m a shattered, yeah

Pride and joy and greed and sex

That’s what makes our town the best

Pride and joy and dirty dreams

And still surviving on the street

And look at me, I’m in tatters, yeah

I’ve been battered, what does it matter

Does it matter, uh-huh

Does it matter, uh-huh

I’m a shattered

Don’t you know the crime rate

Is going up, up, up, up, up?

To live in this town

You must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough

You got rats on the west side

Bed bugs uptown

What a mess this town’s in tatters

I’ve been shattered

My brain’s been battereds

Splattered all over Manhattan

Uh-huh, this town’s full of money grabbers

Go ahead, bite the big apple

Don’t mind the maggots, huh

Shadoobie, my brain’s been battered

My friends they come around they flatter

Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter

Pile it up, pile it high on the platter
