Текст песни Strange Fruit for David (The Wave Pictures) с переводом

I was a young man, starving and drinking

And trying, to become a writer

And I remember that apartment

The smell of mice and dust

And the old woman with the pretty legs

All the kisses that I lost to your neck

I am a tennis player, playing on both sides of the net

And I, will get you yet

And I will turn you, I will turn you

Like a tattooed pigskin

And this time you won’t forget my face

Read my lips

A sculpture is a sculpture

Marmalade is marmalade

And a sculpture of marmalade is a sculpture

But it isn’t marmalade

She said with you inside me

Comes the knowledge of my death

But I still had some oranges left

Underneath the bed

I came to you, I came to depend on you

I came upon you, I came upon your floor

But the god should be left alone

One mustn’t bang upon the door

She said for everything that is visible

There is a copy that is hidden

She said, nothing takes on life

Until it has been eaten

I was working the hole with the sailor

And you wonder you don’t get invited to more parties

Read my lips

A sculpture is a sculpture

Marmalade is marmalade

And a sculpture of marmalade is a sculpture

But it isn’t marmalade

She said with you inside me

Comes the knowledge of my death

But I still had some oranges left

Underneath the bed
