Текст песни Tether's End (Jez Lowe) с переводом

I went down to the crossroads as the clock struck one, To Tether’s End I’m

bound,

Flat broken-hearted, bruised and burned,

Cash-strapped and dunce-capped from lessons never learned,

Up another junction, not knowing where to turn.

Come along with me my friend, I’m travelling to Tether’s End, I’m getting

closer every day.

I went down to the crossroads as the clock struck two, To Tether’s End I’m

bound,

That North Country never-never land had never passed the post,

Guardian angels, patron saints had given up the ghost,

Battalions of rapscallions had left us all for toast.

I went down to the crossroads as the clock struck eight, nine and ten,

To Tether’s End I’m bound,

I’d work my broken fingers black if only I could,

But there’s only open spaces where working places stood,

And the dreaded over-fed have displaced the great and good.

This way, that way, which way do you go? Wise old wives say, the devil only

knows.

So I went down to the crossroads as midnight tolled, To Tether’s End I’m bound,

There stood a posh politician with a heart as black as coal,

A long silver tongue wrapped around a pot of gold,

He said «I don’t want your votes son, I’m coming for your soul!»
