Текст песни: The Boys Are Killing Me + перевод

Back in early '96 in North West Australia

I wonder why you were lyin' on the street alone

Another accident inflicted on an innocent child

In the home, while I was on the see-saw

I was in the garden, readin' Papillon

Tellin' myself real people couldn’t be so cruel

And she said, «Honey, what’s wrong?»

I said, «Babe, what’s right?»

So we staggered off into the night, oh

I’m lucky, I’m lucky, I’m lucky just to sleep at night, oh

So we linked arms and we staggered off into the night

Drunk, but overjoyed just to be employed

By the boys

The boys are killin' me

I’m just a sailor and a miner

I’m comin' as I am, comin' as I am

Even if you tell me I’m a liar

The boys are killin' me

I’m just a sailor and a miner

Mantajarra Walyakarra

Take a deep breath and hold your fire

Gesticulating wildly and passionate at cars

Parked in the dark on the street, oh

I would’ve fallen in a hole

If you didn’t have my shoulders tight

You’re swaying like a see-saw

If that’s what it is to trust another, then you got it all

But I don’t know if I can trust my country anymore

She said, «Honey, what’s wrong?»

I said, «Babe, what’s right?»

So we staggered off into the night

Drunk, but overjoyed just to be employed

By the boys

The boys are killin' me

I’m just a sailor and a miner

I’m comin' as I am, comin' as I am

Even if you tell me I’m a liar

The boys are killin' me

I’m just a sailor and a miner

Mantajarra Walyakarra

Take a deep breath and hold your fire
