Battle For Britain (The Letter) — текст песни (David Bowie)

My, my, the time do fly
When it`s in another pair of hands
And a loser I will be
For I`ve never been a winner in my life

I got used to stressing pain
I used the sucker pills to pity for the self
Oh, it`s the animal in me
But I`d rather be a beggarman on the shelf

Don`t be so forlorn, it`s just the payoff
It`s the rain before the storm
On a better day, I`ll take you by the hand
And I`ll walk you through the doors

Don`t be so forlorn, it`s just the payoff
It`s the rain before the storm
Don`t you let my letter get you down
Don`t you, don`t you, don`t you, don`t you

My, my, but time do fly
When it`s in another pair of pants
And illusion I will be
For I`ve never been a sinner, la di da

Don`t be so forlorn, it`s just the payoff
It`s the rain before the storm
Don`t you let my letter get you down
Don`t you, don`t you, don`t you, don`t you

Don`t you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
Don`t you, don`t you, don`t you, don`t you
Don`t you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
Don`t you, don`t you, don`t you, don`t you

Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
