Текст песни: Late Bloomer + перевод

When I turned 16, I was furious and restless

Got a Chelsea girl haircut and a plane ticket to Paris

I stayed there with Pansy, he had a studio in the seventh

Lost his lover to a sickness, I slept beside him in his bed

That’s when I met Nancy, she was smoking on a gypsy

She had a ring in her nose and her eyes

Were changin' like mood stones

And she said, «Open up late bloomer, it’ll make you smile

I can see that fire burning, in you, little child»

Nancy came from Boston

She got in trouble very often

'Cause her parents had forgotten her

She escaped over the pond

She was searching for the writer

Of a song that made her shiver

She listened over and over

On her Walkman cassette

And she said, «Come with me late bloomer, for a little while

I wanna see that fire burning in you, little child»

How could I resist her, I had longed for a big sister

And I wanted to kiss her, but I hadn’t the nerve

We found the writer, he was just some kid from Boston

I was jealous as I watched him talking to her

But man was I astonished, he didn’t look like no Adonis

But as Nancy had promised, he was heavy as lead

And he said, «Come with us late bloomer, for a little while

We wanna feel that fire burning, in you, little child»

Forgive me my candor, but I just had to have her

And at the time, I didn’t mind sharing with him

We rode in silence, all the way back to the seventh

And I promised I’d write her, but I never did

And she said, «Au revoir, late bloomer, for a little while

You gotta keep that fire burning in you, little child»
