He said — текст песни (The Hippos)

when I was just a young boy
I loved to play with my toys
and sit around and watch tv
sometimes we`d go to the beach
I loved to go to the beach
until an old man came to me
I said hey mister, why do you look so blue
he said it`s nothing you just
look like someone I once new
I said oh really as I looked into his eyes
right then and there I knew this man would tell no lies
he said
I am a man of glory, I`ve got a million stories
if you would just listen to me
I`ve sailed across this ocean, given so much devotion
but just one thing has stayed with me, come here and see
we`d find a park with flowers
we`d sit and talk for hours
he taught me ancient history
he said
I used to be a great man
I traveled across this great land
until an old man came to me
and said
I am a man of glory, I`ve got a million stories
if you would just listen to me
I`ve been around the world
been with all kinds of girls
but just one thing has stayed with me, come here and see
but now I am much older
my life has grown much colder
I only care about one thing
how can I make more money
life`s empty without money
and then a voice spoke out to me
and said
I am a man of glory, I`ve got a million stories
if you would just listen to me
I used to be a rich man
money can ruin a good man
just look what it has done to me
no I`m, I`m not the same as I used to be...
