Текст песни The Lost Art Of Conversation (The Divine Comedy) с переводом

Why all the distance in existence

Join the resistance

Come on, let’s start by talking tactics

With pepper-pots and matchsticks

Here’s how we practice the lost art of conversation

David Jason, Francis Bacon, Frank Lampard

It’s gonna take some concentration

But all the best things do

There’s a terrific neolithic tribe in the pacific

They’ve got no cars, no televisions

No money, no ambitions

Just some pigs and some chickens

And the lost art of conversation

The League of Nations, The English Patient, Joan Of Arc

It’s gonna take some imagination

But all the best things do

Don’t try this in public or they’ll think you’ve gone insane

And it won’t be long before the men in white coats come

To take you far away

We had a comrade, a brave comrade

He could talk for whole days

But then he tried to be a hero

Tried talking 'bout Joan Miro to commuters wearing earphones

He almost died for conversation

Hallucinations, Good Vibrations, Van Dyke Parks

Greyhound racing, Steeple chasing, The Reformation

Transubstantiation, Bram Stoker’s creation

The Land of the Thracians, and right back to the start

It’s gonna take some time and patience

But all the best things do

Don’t try this in public or they’ll think you’ve gone insane

And it won’t be long before the men in white coats come

To take you far away, far away

Well here they come
