Stranger in Blue Suede Shoes — текст песни (Kevin Ayers)

I walked into this bar

And the man refused;

He said, "we dont serve strangers

In blue suede shoes;

We dont give credit, and

We dont give way--

We have to think about what the people might say..

Uh, you know what I mean..."

I said, "sure, man"



Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet,

And I offered him one of my cigarettes.

He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,

Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.

Nice guy - meet em everywhere.. .



He said, "my oh my, I have suffered too long,

And this cigarette seems to be very strong;

I dont make the rules

I just get what I take

And I guess every rule was made to break.

You can take what you like, it wont hurt me

Cause Im just working for the company."

From the green cigarette, he took a long drag,

And said, "i think Ill pick my travelling bag.



Im tired of cheating, and wasting my head

And filling the bosss bags with bread.

I want to get out in the sun and rain,

And feel the wind on on skin again;

The world is large, and Ive got time yet.

And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..

Thank you very much."



"you know, I feel like a new man

Yes I do, I dont know why;

Id just like to say

Thank you very much(indeed)

Its a beautiful day

I think Ill be on my way (right away)

Id just like to say

Thank you very much.

Yes, Im getting the hell out of here

Yes, I am - bye, bye.

Thats the end of the message

Thank you very much.

Bye bye...
