Текст песни: Silence + перевод

The boy asked for kitchen toys from Santa Claus

No need for John Deeres

He liked bright colours and glamour, on his bedroom wall

Chaise longues and chandeliers

Could puc around a sliotar but he ran, away from the ball

The oldest in the litter but felt gangly when standing up tall

He bin bagged plastic tea sets, strengthened up that wrist,

when they laughed at school

Blue tacked Robbie Fowler’s hat trick, made a boxing fist,

stayed safe by playing the fool.

Smoothed out goose pimples when Callas sang Vissi D’Arte

Bragged about his girlfriends when the lads called over to play

Walk like a man, keep your shoulders broad

Ease up on the mincing you’ll fit in with the crowd

What becomes of silent songbirds

With longing in their hearts to take a breath

and break out in song

Without sounding wrong

To break out in song

Without sounding wrong

The boy inside the man plays parts for all except himself

without an acting guide

His real persona’s in a coma, love’s left on the shelf

Can’t show his other side

Small talk with handsome strangers he looks down

As they see through his guise

A brush without a painter on a canvas black with hopeless denial

But walk like a man keep your shoulders broad

Ease up on the mincing you’ll fit in with the crowd

What becomes of silent songbirds

With longing in their hearts to take a breath

and break out in song

without sounding wrong.

To break out in song

Without sounding wrong

The boy asked for kitchen toys from Santa Claus
