Trains to brazil. Guillemots.


It's 1 o'clock on a Friday morning,
I'm trying to keep my back from the wall.
The prophets and their pawns have had another success
And I'm wondering why we bother at all.

And I think of you on cold winter mornings, darling
They remind me of when we were in school,
Nothing really mattered when you called out my name
In fact nothing really mattered at all

And I think about how long it will take them to blow us away
But I won't get me down!
I'm just thankful to be facing the day.
Cause days don't get you far when you're young.

It's 5 o' clock on a Friday morning
One hundred telephones shake and ring
One of those was someone who knew you

And I'll still think of you on cold winter mornings, darling
They'll still remind me of when we were in school
When they could never have persuaded me,
That lives like yours, were in the hands of these erroneous fools

And to those of you who mourn your lives through one day to the next
Well let them take you next!
Can't you live and be thankful you're here?
See - it could be you, tomorrow, next year.

És la una de la matinada d'un divendres
i estic intentant separar l'esquena de la paret.
Els profetes i els seus peons han tingut un altre èxit
i me pregunte perqué ens molestem.

Pense en tu en els matins freds d'hivern,
em recorden a quan anavem a l'escola.
No rés importava quan deies el meu nom,
de fet res importava en absolut.
I me pregunte quan els costarà de borrar-nos del mapa,
però jo no me rendiré.
Només done gràcies per poder enfrontarme al dia a dia
perque els dies no et deixen aplegar lluny quan eres jove.

Són les cinc en punt de la matinada d'un divendres,
centenars de telèfons sonen i vibren.
Un de tants és d'algú que coneixes.
Encara pense en tu en els matins freds d'hivern,
encara em recorden a quan anavem a l'escola
quan mai m'hagueren pogut convencer
que les vides com la teua estigueren en les mans d'eixos estupids erronis.

I per a tots aquells de vosaltres que esteu de dol
per les vostres vides un dia i un altre,
els deixarem que se vos emporten primer.
No podeu viure i donar gràcies perque esteu ací?
Mira, podries ser tu, demà, l'any que ve...
