Marianne Faithfull - h Century Blues текст песни

Why is it that civilized humanity

Can make the world so wrong ?

In this hurly-burly of insanity

Our dreams cannot last long.

Weve reached a deadline,

A press headline,

Every sorrow.

Blues value

Is news value

Tomorrow.

Blues

Twentieth century blues

Are getting me down.

Blues

Escape those weary

Twentieth century blues.

Why,

If theres a God in the sky,

Why shouldnt he grin

High

Above this dreary

Twentieth century din ?

In this strange illusion,

Chaos and confusion,

People seem to lose their way.

What is there to strive for,

Love or keep alive for,

Say, hey, hey!

Call it a day ?

Blues

Nothing to win or to lose,

Its getting me down.

Blues

Escape those weary

Twentieth century blues.

Weve reached a deadline,

A press headline,

Every sorrow.

Blues value

Is news value

Tomorrow.

Blues

Nothing to win or to lose,

Its getting me down.

Blues

Escape those dreary

Twentieth century

Blues.
