Текст песни: Sound of the Carnival + перевод

Do you remember when the carnival came by?

It was late September ‘99

You were staying on my sofa, packing bags and throwing darts at maps at random

I was in love with the dancing in the streets

But you won’t stay still for anything

As the years went by you never settled down, did you?

You’re a postcode lottery

And I’m the girl they built the town around

And suddenly, just when I least expect it, you’ll be around

Well are your Silk Cut running out?

Or are you holding out for something else?

As the city descends on us With the weight of a thousand cartoon anvils falling endlessly down

You’ll be the first to leave town

You’re the sound of the carnival

You’re the sound of a psychedelic orchestra that took to the streets

Swept all the girls off their feet

Am I just some repetitive beats?

Left feeling incomplete

I bought a GPS just to follow you around, sunshine

You’re a postcode lottery

Dressed in 1980s hand-me-downs

On summer days, when you rush past my window I feel alive

When my head’s still spinning round

I can’t help keeping two feet on the ground

As the city will carry us With the speed of a thousand rollercoasters swiftly spiralling round

You’ll be the blur at the front

You’re the sound of the carnival

You’re the sight of a thousand modern dancers who abandoned the script

Swept all the boys off their feet

Am I just some repetitive beats

To make you feel complete?

And when I tell you you’re a lottery

I quite admire the whole philosophy

You’re the chaos of the town

So now I’m throwing clothes in rucksacks and I’m aiming darts at atlases,

with you by my side

The carnival passing me by for a while

And the city will lift us up With the grace of a thousand northern landbirds heading south for the sun

Let yourself blink and we’re gone

We’re the sound of the carnival

We’re the sight of a thousand summer festivals that took to the streets

Swept all the kids off their feet

Seeking something that’s out of our reach

Where everything’s complete
