Al Stewart - Elvaston place

Tekst :

Elvaston Place
A run-down basement in South Ken
Hiding your face
Behind the railings in the rain
Stony steps to a small grey herd
Of dustbins blinking in the sunlight
Our yesterday lives
Crouched by the fireside
In Elvaston Place

Holes in the lace-
Curtains, splintery window frames
A small furnished space
We never knew the landlord s name
Electric bar to warm your winter toes
Evening paper for the bath mat
Watching the face
Happy beside me
In Elvaston Place

The city s spreading like a stony tide across the countryside
I live alone now in London town
Cars and buses everywhere, they hide the sun and eat the air
You need a friend when it gets you down
All the money that I ve ever owned
I d give it all tomorrow
If I could lay happy beside you
In Elvaston Place

Elvaston Place
I stopped to look at you today
New whitewashed face
Behind the railings in the rain
You once held a love of mine
She changed just like the weather
The Kensington skies go on for ever
In Elvaston Place

    Lies

    Life, testing my courage tonigt,
    Stretching my sanity,
    Broken and bruised, open and wounded inside

    I thought that you loved me, you lied
    Stabbed at the heart of me,
    Callous and cruel, showed me no mercy this time

    This web of lies is to blame, binding the pain,
    You betrayed...

    Life uncommon

    Don t worry
    mother, it ll be alright! And don t worry sister, say your
    prayers and sleep tight! It ll be fine, lover of mine, it ll be
    just fine!
    So lend your voices only to sounds of freedom, no longer lend
    your strength to that which you...

    Those were the days

    Once upon a time there was a tavern
    Where we used to raise a glass or two
    Remember how we laughed away the hours,
    And dreamed of all the great things we would do

    Chorus:
    Those were the days my friend
    We thought...

    Nana hey hey kiss him goodbye

    Chorus:
    Nanana ? nanana he-ey, hey goodbye
    Nanana ? nanana he-ey, hey goodbye
    Nanana ? nanana he-ey, hey goodbye
    Nanana ? nanana he-ey, hey goodbye
    Nanana ? nanana he-ey, hey goodbye
    Nanana ? nanana he-ey, hey goodbye

    You never love me,

    Czemu tak jest

    Czemu tak jest,
    że nie możemy nie raz ukryć łez
    czemu tak jest,
    piękno bywa czasem we śnie,
    czemu tak jest,
    pytasz też chociaż dobrze o tym wiesz
    wspomnienia przetrwają i ty razem z nimi też.

    Czemu tak jest,
    że nie...
