Ez egy szar ügy, Szabi, de ez nem ugyanaz a dal. Egy öreg nigger szám, amit utoljára az Eric Clapton dolgozott fel az Unplugged-ban. Ha van kedved, ott nézd meg. Amúgy csók mindenkinek. (kivéve, aki úgyis tudja, na..)
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back if you'll scratch mine
I've been across to the other side
I've shown you ev'rything, I got nothing to hide
And still you ask me, do I love you?
What it is? What it is?
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you'll knife mine
I've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one-eyed witch doctor leading the blind
And still you ask me, do I love you?
What you say? What you say?
Ev'ry time I put my finger on it, it slips away
Ev'ry time I put my finger on it, it slips away
Well, I get up in the morning
And I'm looking in the mirror to see, ooh wee
Then I'm lying in the darkness
And I know I can't get to sleep, ooh wee
If you fear transition to your other life
Don't need money to be there
Leave behind your money just to prove your worth
Won't be here so I don't care
If you strap your conscience to your vision thing
Won't be here so I don't care
Prove your worth to people that you called your friends
Won't be here so I don't care
I wouldn't care if I was washed up tomorrow you see
Reading novels is banned by the Marquis de Sade
All relationships are emptying and temporary
Life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me and
Life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me
I've been drained, emotion is a bitter fate
Won't be here so I don't care
I concede relationships have left me weak
Won't be here so I don't care
Look for something worthy to replace my guilt
Won't be here so I don't care
Prove my worth to people who I called my friends
Won't be here so I don't care
Egyike a kedvenceimnek.
WALLS AND BRIDGES LP, és az Old Dirt Road is jó róla. Meg a Here We Go Again, ami akkor lemaradt az albumról, csak egy 86-os posztumusz lemezen jelent meg.
Szó nincs nulláról.
