Текст песни: Midnight Oil + перевод

Put your arms around his shoulder as his body’s growing colder

Cover his eyes and on we drive

St. Christopher’s stuck in traffic with his mother on the line

Fingers covered in boot polish and fumigated lungs

Reflecting the sun and nerves of steel

Tempered by the wind, rusted by the rain

Damaged by the prospect of palm trees

You’ll never shake this cough

You never shall be clean

You’ll never leave this life behind

Routinely obscene hygiene

I’m sodden with the cold

And I’ve pissed my pants and I can’t dance

Light laughter hurts my bronchial soul

Light up and lift the wallets then fall down the stairs

Don’t let the women touch him there

Meet me outside the cinema

Gone midnight in neon abandon

Where the seats stick to your memory

And the films are all forgotten so lust can meet dead eyes

For the price of a refilled needle

You’ll never shake this cough

You never shall be clean

You’ll never leave this life behind

Routinely obscene hygiene

Put your arms around his shoulder as his body’s growing colder

Cover his eyes and on we drive

St. Christopher’s stuck in traffic with his mother on the line
