Someone lights a cigarette While riding in a car Some ol' guy takes a swig And passes back the jar (сильный шок; банка) But where they were last night No-one can remember Somebody got murdered Goodbye, for keeps (навсегда; окончательно), forever
Somebody got murdered Somebody's dead forever
And you're minding your own business Carrying spare (лишний) change You wouldn't cosh (тяжёлая дубинка, налитая свинцом) a barber (парикмахер; сильный ветер при морозе (который режет лицо)) You're hungry all the same I been very tempted (соблазнять) To grab (хватать) it from the till (денежный ящик, касса) I been very hungry But not enough to kill
Somebody got murdered His name cannot be found A small stain on the pavement (мостовая) They'll scrub (вычеркнуть) it off the ground As the daily crown disperses (рассеивать) No-one says that much Somebody got murdered And it' left me with a touch
Somebody got murdered Somebody's dead forever Sounds like murder! Those shouts! Are they drunk down below? Sounds like murder! Those screams! Are they drunk down below?
It's late, and my watch stopped Some time ago Sounds like murder! Those screams! Are they drunk down below?
