emptied out an old hospital ship down at Plymouth It's over there, mate Slow down not so fast with that pulley Easy up there, easy Watch that! These aren't bananas, you know Where are you from? Liverpool What do you do? I'm a barber Sign him on Thanks very much Next. What's your trade? I'm a carpenter. A good mechanic Get out What do you do? I play the trumpet We've already got musicians on board. Next Where the hell is he going? What's that? I don't know When you don't know what it is it's jazz It was the happiest day of my life All those people hope in their eyes The goodbyes, the sirens And that big floating world starting to move It felt like one big party A huge bash, just for me But just three days later, the ocean got tired of the festivities Hey, Conn? What's the matter? Lose your sea legs? YOu're the new trumpet man aren't you? And you blow a Conn Come with me I have a cure for your misery Follow me Take the brakes off, please That's crazy Trust me. Just take the brakes off Hop on next to me What are you, some kind of nut case You better get on now or you never will Tell me something do you have children? They'll lock you up in the orphanage one of these days He's nuts Oh, mama I see you know your horses Just a litte Good man Good evening, Captain Care for a ride? Tell me again how big the fucking window was It was a big fucking window We're going to be shoveling coal on this ship till eternity No shit Least you know what you'll be doing when you grow up Conn You're from New Orleans, right? How'd you know that? I love that town Really? I haven't been there in a while? In winter, it's beautiful And in March you can always count on one afternoon when you least expect it the fog slides in a milky barrier hangs just below the street lamps It cuts everything off Iike a white blade. And it's magic Houses lose their top floors trees lose their branches St. Louis Cathedral loses its spires People passing by they lose their heads So from the neck up everything disappears All you can see in Jackson Square is decapitated bodies stumbling around bumping into each other saying "How's your mama and them?" That's it Too bad it doesn't last long How do you know all these things? You know ever since I came on board I been hearing a lot of talk about a guy He's supposed to have been born on this ship and never been off it since Crazy story Twenty years without ever setting foot on land? Twenty seven They say this guy makes music that's never been heard before I've heard of him too First off I thought you were the guy But then something didn't add up I figured: if he's Nineteen Hundred how could he know New Orleans so well? Because you've been to New Orleans If I told you I'd never set foot in that town, would you believe me? Whoever you are Max Tooney Gald to meet you How we doing? We're supposed to blow it up not wait for it to be eaten by the fishes You're not going to blow up a goddamn thing because my best friend is on this ship You'll all be responsible for murder Get him out of here! Do whatever you want, but get him off my case I'm not making this up and I'm not crazy If I tell you there's a man aboard the Virginian Jesus Christ, it means there's a man aboard the Virginian We cleaned that scuttle from stem to stern Not even doorknobs were left Only dynamite. Dynamite How can you be so sure that's a man on board? If you've any proof, out with it Because I'm the horse's arse who has to throw that switch I'm sure he's there I spent the best years of my life on the Virginian End of line All right! Run it down What the hell do you think about when you're playing? Where does your mind go when you hit the keys? Last night I was in a beautiful country Women had perfume in their hair Everything glowed And it was full of tigers He traveled. And each time he ended up someplace ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Мать и сын на английском - текст Духовные голоса на английском - текст Малыш и Карлсон на английском - текст Ключ от спальни на английском - текст Луни Тьюнз: Снова в деле на английском |
