It Could Have Been a Brilliant Career
He had a stroke at the age of 24
It could have been a brilliant career
Painting lines in a school that was too well known
24歲時他中風了
Painting lines with a friend that had gone before
這本是一項光輝事業
She challenged everyone to a fight
在一所知名學府繪圖
But the people all backed down
和一個已經離去的朋友一起繪圖
And they ran her out of town
她向每一個人發出對決挑戰
Cause she drank and swore and spoke
可人們已經裁定輸贏
Out of turn she was the village joke
於是他們將她驅逐
She had a stroke at the age of 24
只因她醉酒時的誓言
It could have been a brilliant career
她意外地成了村里的笑話
Getting clients to finance her strategies
24歲時她中風了
Filling time in on Safeways on Saturday
這本是一項光輝事業
She wears the clothes of an emperor
讓客戶為她的策劃融資
But her paintings are a sham
在連鎖超市打發週六時光
And they're going for a grand
她穿著皇帝的衣服
When the dealers come to view
可她的畫是贗品
Do they ever see the real you?
他們想要的卻是稀世珍寶
當商人們出現在視線中
He had a stroke at the age of 24
他們曾見過真實的你嗎
It could have been a brilliant career
24歲時他中風了
Selling lies to the boys with the old Dansettes
這本是一項光輝事業
Pulling the wool playing the fool it's no wonder that
用老唱片向男孩們販賣謊言
He is dribbling spit tonight
扯羊毛愚弄人難怪說
And the one he sent away
他今晚吐個不停
Was the only one who stayed
那個他送走的
With a spoon and a decent book
是唯一留下的人
And you can tell by the way she looks she is sorry and resigned
還帶著勺子和像樣的書本
As he wets himself for the final time
然後你順便說說她看起來歉意滿滿
