Elvis Costello - The Other Side of Summer слова песни
The sun struggles up another beautiful dayAnd I felt glad in my own suspicious wayDespite the contradiction and confusionFelt tragic without reasonTheres malice and theres magic in every seasonChorusFrom the foaming breakers of the poisonous surfThe other side of summerTo the burning forests in the hills of astroturfThe other side of summerThe automatic gates close up between the shanties and the palaceThe blowtorch amusements, the voodoo chaliceThe pale pathetic promises that everybody swallowsA teenage girl is crying cos she dont look like a million dollarsSo help her if you cancos she dont seem to have the attention spanChorusWas it a millionaire who said "imagine no possessions"? A poor little schoolboy who said "we dont need no lessons"? The rabid rebel dogs ransack the shampoo shopThe pop princess is downtown shooting upAnd if that goddess if fit for burningThe sun will struggle up the world will still keep turningMadman standing by the side of the road saying"look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes"Now you cant afford to fake all the drugs your parents used to takeBecause of their mistakes youd better be wide awakeChorusThe mightiest roseThe absence of perfumeThe casual killersThe military curfewThe cardboard cityAn unwanted birthdayThe other side of summerThe dancing was desperate, the music was worseThey bury your dreams and dig up the worthlessGoodnightGod blessAnd kiss "goodbye" to the earthThe other side of summer
