The Stranglers, 1986 все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain?
How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame?
Who gets to say?
Who gets to work and who gets to play?
I was always told at school, everybody should get the same.

How many times have you been told, if you don't ask you don't get?
How many lads have taken your money?

The only way for us to be alone
Into the earth and in the stone
When you wanna be on your own, is dreamtime

I am there in the rock
From the start of the total clock
All of my dreams can interlock, in dreamtime

I can see red is the colour of life in a Mayan sky
I can see green is the colour of jungle in Mayan skies
Mexico speaks at the sunrise

I can see yellow's the colour of gold under Mayan skies
Tempting children who came to get rich under Mayan skies
Mexico speaks at the sunrise

I had a dream or a nightmare
Difficult to decide which
There were a few who had plenty
And there were poor who were rich
I saw some rocks that were shining
They drove the few to go spare
Beauty led to the blinding

To think I knew you when you had nothing at all
And now you've got your back to the wall
It only goes to show
You'll always reap just what you sow

You had no reason for being so bad
You had the world in the palm of your hand
It only goes to show
