Free World — текст песни (Kirsty Maccoll)

(kirsty maccoll)



I thought of you when they closed down the school

And the hospital too

Did they think that you were better?

They were wrong

You had so many friends

They all left you in the end

cause they couldnt stand the patter



And Ill see you baby when the clans rise again

Women and children united by a struggle

Going down

Youve got to walk into the water

With your sister and your daughter

In this free world



If I wore your shades could I share your point of view?

Could I make you feel better?

Paint a picture, write a letter?

Well I know what youre saying

But I see the things you do

And its much too dangerous

To get closer to you



And Ill see you baby when the clans rise again

Women and children united by the struggle

Going down

With a pocketful of plastic

Like a dollar on elastic

In this free world

(I wouldnt tell you if I didnt care)



And Ill see you baby when the clans rise again

Women and children united by the struggle

And the ghettoes are full of mercedes benz

And youd never hurt a friend

Who wouldnt tell you



Its cold and its going to get colder

You may not get much older

Youre much too scared of living

And to die is a reliable exit

So you push it and you test it

With thunderbird and rivin



And Ill see you baby when the clans rise again

Women and children united in the struggle

In this free world baby

Got to take it got to grab it

Got to get it up and shag it

In this free world



Going down

Youve got to get into the water

Like a lamb goes to the slaughter

In this free world baby

Going down

With a pocketful of plastic

Like a dollar on elastic

In this free world

(I wouldnt tell you if I didnt care)
