Three Wishes — текст песни (Roger Waters)

[Woman:]I went to buy a....a gas bottle. At first I wanted to buy a big one, but then I hadn`t got enough money, so I had to buy a smaller one. And I think if I bought a bigger one, then it would have been... the way I wanted it.

And then, er, we went down, and ahm, I put the children to bed. And I tidied the flat and everything. And then they were asleep and everything was a kind of night. I made a bed in the bathroom. I carried them there and put on the gas bottle.

But today when I think back peh.. about that. If God did take me, I would`ve have been in hell because I wasn`t right.


Reached back for the bottle
And rubbed against the lamp
Genie came out smiling
Like some Eastern tramp
He said hey boy what`s happening
What is going on
You can have three wishes
If you don`t take too long
I said well
I wish they were all happy in the Lebanon
Wish somebody`d help me write this song
I wish when I was young
My old man had not been gone
Genie said consider it done
There`s something in the air
And you don`t know what it is
You see someone through the window
Who you`ve just learned to miss
And the road leads on to glory but
You`ve used up your last wish
Your last wish
And you want her to come home
Genie said I`m sorry
But that`s the way it goes
Where the hell`s the lamp sucker
It`s time for me to go
Bye
There`s something in the air
And you don`t know what it is
You see someone through the window
Who you`ve just learned to miss
And the road leads on to glory
But you`ve used up your last wish
Your last wish
And you want her to come home
