Текст песни: Paper Aeroplanes + перевод

There’s a snap as you step on a twig

We’re frozen on tiptoes in fear

And sink to our heels in relief

Past kids on their paperround trails

Milkfloats and shiftworker cars

And revellers staggering home

Rendezvous at the top of the park

Gaze down at the smoke and the lights

The buildings suspiciously quiet

And I reach for a Paperchase bag

Rip pages from plain A4 pads

Write notes for the city below

And I’m folding arrows, and you’re folding darts, dear

And I’m E H Mathews and you’re Ninomiya

It’s all in symmetrics and aerodynamics in classic design

As it glides from my hands

Past the padlocked park gates

Through the cold city streets

Past the tired chief execs

Somersaults and pirouettes

Past health spa retreats

Venture capitalists

'Til they swoop and they fall

Paper aeroplanes are raining down

Just to haunt you

We’ll launch 'til we drop

Chapped hands and sharp paper cuts

Bruises and javelin arms

And they’ll glance off the lampposts and trees

Knock hats off the suits in the street

And land in their coffees and teas

So I’m making airfoils and you’ve built a fuselage

I’m writing sound bites and you’ve written monologues

So, pick the targets, they’ll fly with a serene velocity girl

Glide and then fall

Past the rush hour cars

And the cinema aisles

And the rooftop hotels

Pirouettes and somersaults

Past old market stalls

And juvenile courts

Til they swoop and they fall

Paper aeroplanes are raining down

Just to haunt you somehow

And as the sun comes up

Gaze at the horizon and ask

What on earth is going on?

Pirouettes and somersaults
