Текст песни Nothing to Do (John Illsley) с переводом

We moved from the land and empires were made

Built with the power of the wheel and the lathe

Chimneys and factories grew from the earth

We had pride in our work, we were proud of our birth

Now the factories are silent, the gates locked and barred

Machines gather dust where once they were heard

The clock on the wall, well it’s taking its time

It doesn’t know there’s this mountain to climb

I used to drink on a Friday, take the kids to the zoo

But money’s too tight, my hands turning blue

I got on my bike and formed an orderly queue

I’m doin' my best, but there’s nothing to do

Windows are smashed, but nobody cares

Roof is a sieve, they’re doing deals on the stairs

Trolleys from stores and burnt our cars

Cracks in the pavement and junk in the yard

I used to drink on a Friday, take the kids to the zoo

But money’s too tight, my hands turning blue

I got on my bike and formed an orderly queue

I’m doin' my best, but there’s nothing to do

Now the families split, they’re broken in two

I’m losing the light, I’m losing the view

There’s a break in the rhythm, a pain in my heart

And I thought I knew the best place to start

I used to drink on a Friday, take the kids to the zoo

But money’s too tight, my hands turning blue

I got on my bike and formed an orderly queue

I’m doin' my best, but there’s nothing to do
