Текст песни Old Mister Time (10cc) с переводом

He looked funny

The children called him the scarecrow

An old raincoat

And baggy trousers and sneakers

He found at the dump

Oh, but if you bothered to look

There was something behind the rags

Oh there was a look in his eyes

It was something you’d never forget

He lived badly

A broken shack on the railway

An old moggy

The only one who replied

When he talked to the walls

Oh we didn’t understand

We were fooled by the dirt on his face

Oh we were human then

We were searching behind his disgrace

Why don’t you leave me alone

Why don’t you go to your homes

Why don’t you keep to yourselves

I’m tellin you

Why don’t you leave me alone

You’re never gonna realise

When all you do is criticise

You’re never gonna make it work

You never seem to get enough

You crumble when it’s getting rough

You’re never gonna make it work

I’m tellin' you there’ll come a day

You’re gonna blow yourselves away

It’s wrong that I should interfere

I just get in the way

Why don’t you leave me alone

Why don’t you go to your homes

Why don’t you keep to yourselves

I’m tellin you

Why don’t you leave me alone

Deep into the night

He was working by the light

Of the candle by his bed

On the theory in his head

He was building from the junk

That he rescued from the dump

And when he turned the power on

There was a sound and he was gone

Oh in the gray of the dawn

We discovered the thing he was working on

Oh we didn’t understand

The future was Old Mister Time

Future was Old Mister Time

Future was Old Mister Time

Future was Old Mister Time

Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time…)

Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time…)

Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time…)
