Текст песни Picture Window (Ben Folds) с переводом

They checked into the hospital New Year’s Eve

Nothing to be done about that

Rainbows, daffodils; she’s not naive

Symbolism’s all crap

There’s a big picture window in their room on the ward

With a view over Parliament Hill

But the view offers more joy than they can afford

When there’s this much pain to kill

You know what hope is?

Hope is a bastard

Hope is a liar

A cheat and a tease

Hope comes near you?

Kick it’s backside

Got no place in days like these

At dusk the darkness surrenders to color

As the fireworks streak the sky

And their window gives them the prettiest picture

Their useless luck makes her wanna cry

Then it turns midnight, the shitty old year spent

Another Mom gives her some sparkling wine

And she nearly gives in to the moment

But he’ll still be sick in 2009

You know what hope is?

Hope is a bastard

Hope is a liar

A cheat and a tease

Hope comes near you?

Kick it’s backside

Got no place in days like these

Just as she’s thinking of pulling the blind down

A rocket bursts in front of her eyes

The city lit up; London’s given a bright crown

And she tries and fails to stop spirits rise

You know what hope is?

Hope is a bastard

Hope is a liar

A cheat and a tease

Hope comes near you?

Kick it’s backside

Got no place in days like these

You know what hope is?

Hope is a bastard

Hope is a liar

A cheat and a tease

Hope comes near you?

Kick it’s backside

Got no place in days like these
