Текст песни Sleep City (The Shilohs) с переводом

Hottest summer in history

I was dead, couldn’t even go on

Teenagers like a woolly mammoth, hiding behind sprinklers

Smoking grass on the festival lawn

I saw the figures in the wax museum

Melt into pools on the floor

Cleopatra, Greta Garbo, Frank Sinatra,

Marilyn Monroe, Vincent Price, Charlie Chaplin

Nothing but puddles on the floor

May 19th, dressed in grey

Said the Queen Mary to the Princess Marguerite

«Come ashore on the downtown street»

Everyone’s talkin' 'bout

crackin' up and sayin' he’s seein' the future

Those men that you thought were spies still have eyes

On the island

Hurry, now

It’s almost time

Come and see the ones you left behind

I was reminded today what the girls used to say on the island

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)

They’d go

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)

I saw her standing where a graveyard

used to be but the graveyard was gone

What happened to the flowers at

All the rows and pretty houses where the dogs used to roll on the lawn

But where have all the dogs gone, baby Jane?

«Save the Queen Mary» read the signs on the street

And everybody is dressed up for the feast

Drinkin' peach magnolia gin iced teas

Coca-Cola makes me sniff and then sneeze

Kids are always doin' what they do to survive

Said you played the garden party, but the garden’s a dive

You better come, come, come, come, come, come back

To the island

Hurry, now

Your time’s just passed

You had your old friend Jane, but Jane’s gone so fast

Hey nineteen, if you know what I mean

Let’s get back to the island

(Through the garden to a windy beach)

Ooh

Get back

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)

Marlon Brando

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)

Brigitte Bardot

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)

Jean-Paul Belmondo

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)

Jean Seberg

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)

Dean Martin

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)

Steve McQueen

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)

Katharine Hepburn

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)

James Dean

(Sleep City, VIC, through the garden to a windy beach)
