Marillion Misplaced Childhood Childhood's End? Track 9 _Misplaced Childhood_ And it was morning. And I found myself mourning, For a childhood that I thought had disappeared. I looked out the window, And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone I'm not alone, I turned to the mirror, I saw you, the child, that once loved. The child before they broke his heart, Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost. Hey you, surprised? More than surprised, To find the answers to the questions, Were always in your own eyes. Do you realize that you give it on back to her? But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew, So untrue. For she's got to carry on with her life, And you've got to carry on with yours. So I see it's me, I can do anything And still the child, 'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction And I found direction. There is no Childhood's End. There is no Childhood's End. Cos' you are my childhood friend. Cos' you are my childhood friend. Oh lead me on. Hey you, you've survived. Now you've arrived, To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie. Now you realize, that you've got to get out of here. You've found the leading light of destiny, Burning in the ashes of your memory. You want to change the world. You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel, But that was looking backward. Now you've found the light. You, the child that once loved, The child before they broke his heart. The heart, the heart that I believed was lost So it's me I see, I can do anything. I'm still the child. 'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction, and I found direction. There is no childhood's end. There is no childhood's end. There is no childhood's end. I am your childhood friend. Oh. lead me on.

Это был короткий роман любви моей Это был красивый обман игра теней Далеко ушёл караван случайных дней Где они растаяли, кто теперь знает Это увлекательный был аттракцион Так ещё никто не любил, как я и он Он меня шутя посадил в пустой вагон Я шутя уехала в поезде ночью Манит, манит, манит карусель В путешествие по замкнутому кругу Дарит, дарит, дарит карусель То надежду, то досадную разлуку Манит, манит, манит карусель Карусель любви — неверная подруга Манит, манит, манит карусель И на ней никак нельзя догнать друг друга Я уже не та, что была ещё вчера Я уже давно поняла: любовь игра Всё, что я забыть не могла, забыть пора Только почему-то мне хочется помнить Это увлекательный был аттракцион Так ещё никто не шутил, как я и он И на горизонте застыл ночной перрон Где он на прощание поднял вверх руку Манит, манит, манит карусель В путешествие по замкнутому кругу Дарит, дарит, дарит карусель То надежду, то досадную разлуку Манит, манит, манит карусель Карусель любви — неверная подруга Манит, манит, манит карусель И на ней никак нельзя догнать друг друга Манит, манит, манит карусель В путешествие по замкнутому кругу Дарит, дарит, дарит карусель То надежду, то досадную разлуку Манит, манит, манит карусель Карусель любви — неверная подруга Манит, манит, манит карусель И на ней никак нельзя догнать друг друга Манит, манит, манит карусель Манит, манит, манит карусель Манит, манит, манит карусель Манит, манит, манит карусель

Floyd was a trapper way back in the holler Made moonshine so he could make a dollar Six feet tall, dressed in overalls And wore himself a long gray beard People say Floyd came to town one day But two law dogs got in his way Floyd never hurt no one in his life But they never came back this way No, they never came back this way And the people say... Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin' Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye The G-men came out to track him down But the swamp was too deep, even one of them drowned They sent in the hellhounds but they turned around singing How how how how how And the people say... Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone And the creeper was a creepin' and the souls they were hollerin' singin' Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye Yeah the souls are they were cryin' Yeah the creeper he was creepin' Sherriff Boudreaux came to talk to his neighbors All they could say is he was eaten by a gator The legend lives on but Floyd he's at home singing How how how how how And the soul said... Aye, aye, aye, aye hear the hound dogs moan Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone Aye, aye, aye, aye now that Floyd is long gone There's a full moon now The moon was shinin' bright singing Aye aye aye aye aye

Last night I had too much to drink Sitting in a club with so many fools Playing to rules Trying to impress but feeling rather empty I had another drink (Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink, ah) What a way to spend that evening They all turn up with their friends Playing the game But in the scene I should've been Far away (Away - away - away - away - away) Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget The telephone rings and someone speaks She would very much like to go out to a show So what can I do? I can't think what to say She sees through anyway (Away - away - away - away - away) Out of the front door I go Traffic's moving rather slow Arriving late, there she waits Looking very angry, as cross as she can be Be - a - be - a - be - a - be - a - be Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before I open the door to an empty room Then I forget Ah, Ah
