Текст песни: It Makes the Room Look Bigger + перевод

I’ve just finished decorating

It was very irritating

And I know they’re going to come around tonight

And I know they’re gonna say to me tonight:

«It makes the room look bigger

It makes the room look bigger»

So let’s forget about the open-top bus ride

Standing tall on the town hall balcony

It’s about as likely as hen’s teeth

It’s about as likely as hen’s teeth

And as the light gets dimmer

I watch the chance get slimmer

But I’m putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon

There’s a fella coming round to stick the gas back on

And if truth be told now that Thelma’s gone

It makes the room look bigger

I’m drawn towards the souvenir stores

I twirl around the key fob rack

Well it’s alright for Nicholas and for Neil

Yeah well how do you think that makes me feel?

And all the while I can see

I’m on the CCTV

Elderly lady at the bus stop

Thinks I’m going to eat her

And so to reassure her

I ask her for the time

And her sense of relief at my friendly tone

Reveals itself in her karmic moan:

«You can wait twenty minutes

And nothing comes along

And then all of a sudden three thugs rob your pension

Oh there’s generally one at twenty-five past

There’s generally one at twenty-five past

They come swinging round that corner

They think they’re Benny Goodman»

But I’m putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon

There’s a fella coming round to stick the gas back on

And if truth be told now that Thelma’s gone

It makes the room look bigger

Oh tiptoe to the front row of the Korn Show

With a sub-machine-gun
