Three Minute Boy — текст песни (marillion)

Here today

Gone this afternoon

Another tune

We almost remember



Whats the story

Sex and drugs again

Business as usual

The clocks already ticking



La la la la



When he was young

Staring at the tv

He watched the fun

Happen to other people



Now they scream

As they run after him

Like a dream

Like elvis and the beatles



A three minute song is all he wrote

He only did it for a joke

They played him on the radio

From tokyo to timbuktu



A three minute boy, aint that somethin?

They named their children after him

The good times rolled beneath his feet

He skipped along the one-way street



Shes a pretty girl

She dont know how it started

She made a movie

He almost remembered



She measured up

They moved into a basement

"were so in love!"

They giggled to the nation



La la la la



Three minute millionaire they said

The numbers rattled round his head

They spun him three times round the globe

She waited patiently at home



And all the pretty girls wanted him

In places that hed never been

Too much love will do you in

Forgive forgive forgive forgive



Yeah yeah ooo



Three minute kid is here again

Surrounded by three minute friends

He found someone to understand

To shock the world and hold his hand

No religion, no restraint

No direction, no complaints

No future and no way out

No time now to think about it

All the moneys gone

He dont know what they spent it on

Girlfriends gone off with the jag

Gone back to her mum and dad

Hes curled up on the studio floor

He just cant do it anymore

The flashgun went off without warning

Hell read about it tomorrow morning...



(shes goin out with someone "new"

In this week at number two

Three minute boy aint that somethin.)
