Something's Been Making Me Blue

Love has shaken me, sometimes mistaken me,
This time it's making me hide,
Love has told on me then got a hold on me,
Followed my heart to my pride \гордость\.

But something's been making me blue,
And somehow I can't talk it over with you
Something's been making me sad,
Something I'm missing that I never had,
And I know what's making me blue,
Is losing you.

Love was a game you played, a mistake I made,
Never found it on time,
I thought love was alive again, then it died again,
Leavin' me wondering why.

But something's ben making me blue,
And somehow I can't talk it over with you
Something's been making me sad,
Something I'm missing that I never had,
And I know what's making me blue,
Is losing you.

What is this feeling that keeps you revealing \выявляет\ your pride,
Why don't you listen, you can't reminisce \предаваться воспоминаниям\ on the times that she loved you and lied.

I know, but love was so real to me, how does it feel to be
Tellin' yourself it's a lie
But now love's got me wondering, got me fumbling \бормочущий, с трудом подбирающий слова\,
Got me stumbling by.

But something's ben making me blue,
And somehow I can't talk it over with you
Something's been making me sad,
Something I'm missing that I never had,
And I know what's making me blue,
Is losing you.

Wild Wild Angels

Don't talk to me of shattered \разбитых (вдребезги)\ dreams,
Of course you don't know what it means,
To live for someone else, you can't just take,
And when you're bitten by the truth,
You blame it on your mis-spent \растраченная впустую\ youth,
You never seem to learn by your mistakes.

So don't talk to me of wild wild angels,
Wild wild angels on the skyways,
Those wild wild angels on the highways of your life,
'Cos it's people like you who never knew,
What wild wild angels have to face.

And I ain't hangin' round to see,
You turn on someone else like me,
I'm still alive and you know the way I live,
But baby that's one way you'll never be,
Such simple things you fail to see,
You take back everything you ever give.

Poor Lady (Midnight Baby)

I met a girl in L.A. and she seemed alright to me,
She said she'd give me loving and she said it would be free,
She told me she would call me or leave a message at the door,
And left me wondering what I was in for.

By the next time that I saw her I had clean forgot her name
And without her fancy make-up she just didn't look the same,
So I totally ignored her and she sadly turned away,
And through sympathy I told her she could stay.

Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
No one wants your love at all,
Oh poor lady, midnight baby,
Now you're heading for a fall,
And you really think your're something,
you know all the things to do
But poor lady, just a baby,
There's a hundred more like you.

Now for two weeks more she was at my door,
She would stay with me for days,
As a lover she was frightening in so many different ways,
But when it came to conversation she was totally absurd,
Oh she'd sit for hours and never say a word.

She spends her days in different ways, still trying to be hip \сокр. от hypochondria - разг. меланхолия\,
And at night she'll find she'll lose her mind, at a club along the strip,
When her money goes she always knows she got something she can sell,
It's the one thing that she really can do well.

So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon get it right, we're gonna make ya boogie tonight,
If ya feel alright, y'all gonna boogie all night.

Stranger \чужой, посторонний\

When the night has fallen
And the moon is high
And you get that far away look in your eyes
Oh can't you see you're acting like a stranger
When your loving feelings are so hard to find
And you can deceive \вводить в заблуждение\ me with your made-up lines
Lord knows you sound just like a stranger

So just in case you've changed your mind
You've got love if you want it and it can't go wrong
And just in case you find the time
You've got love if you need it and it can't go wrong

But stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me

When the wind is howling and the rain comes down
And you lie awake without a sound
Feel like I'm living with a stranger
When I try to hold you and you turn away
There seems so little left for me to say
Oh Lord knows you look just like a stranger

So just in case you've changed your mind
You've got love if you want it and it can't go wrong
And just in case you find the time
You've got love if you need it and it can't go wrong
But stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me
Oh stranger you're in danger
Of losing me

What Can I Do

Every dream that I dream
Seems to float on by
Like a cloud in the wind
Way up in the sky
Every move that I make
Seems to be the wrong way
Like a cold black night
After a summer day

What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
What can I do

You still play my guitar
With a smile on my face
Now everything's changed
My whole life's rearranged
From the day I was born
Sidle Jinks was my name
Though I tried and I tried
That name still remains

What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
What can I do

What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do

I hear voices all singing
But no one is there
It's a ghost of my life
Bringing past tense to mind
Lokin' key inside me
From the freedom and sin
Oh come let me in
I'll start all over again

What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
No no no no no no no no no
What can I do
What can I do
What

Little Lucy

You're wasting my time, you're drinking my wine.
So Little Lucy say goodbye,
I've stood quite enough, I'm calling your bluff \обман, блеф\
The cost of loving's much too high.

So Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
We've had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say goodbye.

I'm playing it cool, I ain't such a fool,
You know our love's just one big lie,
We put on a show, but now you must go,
And we can't say we didn't try.

So Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
We've had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say goodbye.

We've had some trouble,
Ain't gonna see your face no more,
Now at the double,
I'm gonna see ya just go right through that door.

You're wasting my time, you're drinking my wine.
So Little Lucy say goodbye,
I've stood quite enough, I'm calling your bluff
The cost of loving's much too high.

So Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
Little Lucy, Little Lucy don't you cry,
We've had a hard time honey, so Little Lucy say goodbye.

Going Home

Well now that I'm leaving,
Well now that I'm going home,
It's hard for me to believe in,
All those words now that I'm all alone.
