Tindersticks - Ballad of Tindersticks слова песни

The first time we flew itIt was ? ? ? ? ? ? and crampedThe vodka running out half-way across the atlanticEven the steward screamed and joined in itWe didnt think we were going to make itNow were stretched out in wide, furry seatsFlicking through menusA walk to the bar and theres as much screw-top champagne as we can drinkWere so easyTaking turns having our photos takenSitting in front of smoked windowsDecanters of cheap whiskey in our handsDrive into manhattan on a date with a starlet whos just talentThats what people pay the money to seeWho are we to argue? Five hours now its been going onAnd still were watching all of itCan you really believe all this? Can he really lie in bed at night and marvel at his own genius? When do you lose the ability to step backAnd get a sense of your own ridiculousness? Theyre only songsMidnight, and its all overNow it can really make us laughWere standing on our heads drinking sours of crystel schnappsNow were unable to step back or step forwardSwallowing a swallowTasting it again, its not so unpleasantPerhaps its an acquired tasteThe first time, it makes you sickThen, bit by bit, it becomes deliciousShowbiz peopleAlways there to be interested in what you sayWe are artists; we are sensitive and importantWe nod our heads earnestlyAlready half-way down the champagneOn our way to leaving the place dryA $2,000 bar billShowbiz picks up the tabAnd were on our way laughingLaughing at what? Los angeles, eight days inAnd our sense of ironys running pretty thinAll the friends weve madePiano interlude not transcribed this time, sorry...just improviseIts 2 am, its closing time at the dresdenMarty and layton play one last sleepy "strangers in the night"And the last of the martinis dribble down our chinsWere sitting, chasing the conservation around the tableJesus, how long have I been in this state? The limousines still waiting outsideAnything you want to do? Anywhere you want to go? Were on our way to the airport and a plane to vegasSo many nights lying in bed shakingDreaming of pushing my daughter around the supermarketThe joy of seeing all those colours and shapes reflect in her wide eyesMy head leaning on the windowAnd were driving through the empty l.a. streetsAnd everything seems silent and beautifulA guys face hits the floorPolice revolvers glistening in the streetlightOnto melrose and lurching through a sea of halloweeen transvestitesThe flights cancelled, but it doesnt matterWe turn this corner to a way that takes us whereverUp to sunsetWe creep up the drive to the shattuckThe suite belushi died inOr the one morrison hung out the windowOh, Ill go for jimsI would fancy a hotel window-hanging, myself, tonight, manStraight over to the mini-barOpen the champagne -- one sip and its left to wake up toAnyone hungry? A team of uniformed waiters lay out an elaborate table for all us to ignoreOh, the ironyHow were used to livingBack in london on a cold friday nightDo you want another drink? Well, I could tryPerhaps we could make it to the atlantic600 yeards, twenty minutes laterWere pushing through the waiting crowd, all fish eyesAn exclusive door policyExclusively for arseholesAnd tonight? well, a nod of our heads, and were insideFalling down the red, velvety stairsLimbs flaying, hands searching for something to steadyPick ourselves up, nothing brokenJust aches in the morningNo one seems to noticeI find a table, champagne arrivesIve been so drunk, I sit and look at youWe try and talk for the first time in a long timeDrunken confessionYou shiver, it made you feel sickWe use the rent money to pay the billBumping shoulders, we stumble out into sohoSlipping over the sleeping bagsShouting for taxis
