Текст песни: The Weeds Downtown + перевод

I know that Birmingham gets you down

And I guess that makes sense

When so many old friends retired

If not expired, by the time we were twenty-three

Getting blacked out and locked up

Cashed out and knocked up

Look at it that way, there ain’t much for me

But just consider the weeds downtown, and how they grow:

How the Queen Anne’s Lace covers hot parking lots like snow

I know the new architecture’s largely depressing

And the politics are pretty regressive

But ain’t shining a light on what’s dark

Kind of your thing?

The murder wave is abating

And the population decline is stagnating

If that ain’t an invitation, darling, what could it be?

Addressed right to you and me?

Consider the weeds downtown, and how they grow:

How the Queen Anne’s Lace covers hot parking lots like snow

Paris and New York don’t have honeysuckle vines

Like the ones on 32nd Street

I know that Birmingham gets you down

But look what it raised you up to be
