Slow Slow Music — текст песни (The Go-Betweens)

I got myself a mortgage,
It didn`t save the marriage.
We weren`t insureed,
Insured against breakage.
If you believe in orphans
There`s still a chance for love.
(The hand that warms you also harms you)
Pick me up in pieces,
I`m scattered and broken,
Slow, slow music.

Pick me up in pieces,
I`m scattered and broken,
Slow, slow music.

By the time I was 16,
I knew the names of the planets,
Stayed away from the doorstep,
Was frightened of milk-bottles.
If you believe in orphans
There`s still a chance for love.
(The hand that warms you also harms you)
I know I`m not an orphan
But I believe in love.
(The hand that holds you also scolds you)

chorus

So! don`t wake the children,
Leave them in bed.
In the land o the dreamless,
They`re better off dead.
If you believe in orphans
There`s still a chance for love.
(The hand that warms you also harms you)
I know I`m not an orphan
But I believe in love.
(The hand that holds you also scolds you)

chorus
