Kirsty Maccoll - Walking Down Madison слова песни




(kirsty maccoll/johnny marr)Walking down madison - I swear I never had a gunNo I never shot no-one - I was only having funWalking down madison - swear I never had a gunI was philosophizing someChecking out the bumsSee you give em your nickels, your pennies and dimesBut you cant give em hope in these mercenary times, oh noAnd you feel real guilty about the coat on your backAnd the sandwich you had, oh noFrom an uptown apartment to a knife on the a trainIts not that farFrom the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basementIts not that farTo the bag lady frozen asleep in the parkOh no its not that farWould you like to see some more? I can show you if youd like toWalking down madison - I swear I never had a gunNo I never shot no-one - wouldnt do it just for funWalking down madison - trying to keep my head screwed onI was philosophizing someChecking out the nunsWhen you get to the corner dont look at those freaksKeep your head down low and stay quick on your feet, oh yeahThe beaming boy from harlem with the airforce coatThe ones who diedThe ones who triedThe ones that sit and gloatFrom an uptown apartment to a knife on the a trainIts not that farFrom the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basementIts not that farTo the bag lady frozen asleep on the church stepsIts not that farWould you like to see some more? I can show you if youd like toWithin every city and town theres a madisonFrozen lives for whom nothings happeningHungry children is a mothers dilemmaDumpster diving to feed her baby emmaSo you walk on by like it doesnt affect youThe held out hand that you pay no respect toNickels and dimes wont even buy your guiltAnother wino burnt to death in his quiltIts a cardboard city, newspaper metropolisThe system cant cope or keep on top of thisThe authorities come as youre not for displayDo they solve the problem no they move him awayTheyre in a vicious circle of no fixed abodeThe social wont pay em the money theyre owedWhen youve got no money you cant pay rentHypothermia kills cos the system is bentFrom an uptown apartment to a knife on the a trainIts not that farFrom the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basementIts not that farTo the bag lady frozen asleep in the parkOh no its not that farWould you like to see some more? I can show you if youd like toFrom an uptown apartment to a knife on the a trainIts not that farFrom the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basementIts not that farTo the bag lady frozen asleep on the church stepsIts not that farWould you like to see some more? I can show you if youd like toIn the subway sits a vacuous manHis grip on life is a bent tin canIts a holy shrine where he burns his lightIt makes things easy and removes his plightFor an hour or two but he cant escapeTheyre all penned in with government tapeThere are good samaritans who bring the soupThe sally army with their bibles and bootsYou can see yourself as its not too farOne short trip you dont who they areTill the night comes then it all comes backLike the smell of patchouli and the armies of ratsIts a shame to be human its a human shameIt seems weve forgotten were one and the same
