Текст песни: Eva, Beware of the City + перевод

The city can be paradise for those who have the cash

The class and the connections, what you need to make a splash

The likes of you get swept up in the morning with the trash

If you were rich or middle class …

Screw the middle classes! I will never accept them!

My father’s other family were middle class

And we were kept out of sight, hidden from view at his funeral

Do all your one night stands give you this trouble?

Eva beware of the city

It’s hungry and cold, can’t be controlled, it is mad

Those who are fools are swallowed up whole

And those who are not become what they should not become

Changed, in short, they go bad

Bad is good for me

I’m bored, so clean, and so ignored

I’ve only been predictable, respectable

Birds fly out of here, so why oh why oh why the hell can’t I?

I only want variety, of society

Five years from now I shall come back

And finally say, «You have your way, come to town.»

But you’ll look at me with a foreigner’s eyes

The magical city, a younger girl’s city

A fantasy long since put down

All you’ve done to me, was that a young girl’s fantasy?

I played your city games alright, didn’t I?

I already know what cooks, how the dirty city feels and looks

I tasted it last night, didn’t I?

I’m gonna be a part of B. A

Buenos Aires, Big Apple

She’s gonna be a part of B. A

Buenos Aires, Big Apple

Eva beware your ambition

It’s hungry and cold, can’t be controlled, will run wild

This in a man is danger enough, but you are a woman

Not even a woman, not very much more than a child

And whatever you say, I’ll not steal you away
