Poor Boy (Long Version) - Shocking Blue

Can you believe me when I say There's nothin' I'd like better Than just to sit here and talk with you Although I'll rant and I'll rave About one thing and another The beauty of it is (hope you'll agree) Though I'm a poor boy I can still be happy As long as I can feel free So many people I know gettin' old way too early (Well, are you feelin' kind of weary) Just to impress you with the money they've made (You'd better, you'd better, you'd better change your theory) One drop of rain they complain And it's the same about the wage they're earnin' Well that is not the way I'm gonna be Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me Well let us state our only point of view Why can't we all afford to live like you This simple life is simply not enough We have appearances we must keep up Poor boy If that's the way it's gotta be (Poor boy) It's you for you and me for me I try all I can understanding all the fools And all their money When half of what they got You know they never will use Enough to get by suits me fine I don't care if they think I'm funny I'm never gonna change my point of view Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me Always, na, na, na Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me

Sun down big city And all my money is gone Sun down and i'm thinkin' Back to where i used to call home Every blowhard barjockey In every town i ever knew Said if you play hard You get lucky It ain't necessarily true I'm a poorboy, big city Smalltown used to be home Poorboy, big city I've never been so all alone One time i had all the good lovin' Of a young girl in my hand I left town and never stopped runnin' Never stopped to understand Seeking unknown sensations And every new sight to be seen Took a greyhound to penn station To follow some impossible dream Now for all you sum' bitches Dreamin' out the back o' some mall Thinking somewhere else it all happens Well it dont happen at all I get by the best that i'm able Long as i'm getting stoned Got the whole world coming at me on cable I've never been so all alone

君のことはもう忘れてたはずなのに 夏の風が不意に君を呼び戻す チクリと刺す胸の痛みは 懐かしさより前に 思い出が巡り回るのは あの海岸通り 二人の景色は 時を止めたまま 波音に目を閉じた 今年も夏が来る... 君のことはもう忘れてたはずなのに 夏の風が不意に君を呼び戻す 蒼い空と海と心は君でアザだらけ 今でも消えないよ 賑わう夏祭り 混み合う人の波 はぐれないように君の手を握った moment 蘇るのは You and I そればっか 変わり映えない日々に重なった 想い出は綺麗なまま 今年も夏が来る... 君のことはもう忘れてたはずなのに 夏の風が不意に君を呼び戻す 蒼い空と海と心は君でアザだらけ 今でも消えないよ 変わりゆく Blue ただ一人冷めた砂の上を 歩き続けているよ 君の帰らないこの部屋で 灯り続けるだけの Candle 焼きつくほど聴いた 君の好きな歌を 今更 口ずさむよ 見上げた夜空 今君も見ていますか あの日見た星は今日も降りつづく 思い出たちが歌うメロディー 君との蒼い日々 今でも消えないよ あの夏が消えないよ

Everyone tells me I'm lucky Got my whole life to live yet I can't say they're wrong But the days seem so long Living inside of my head Maybe I'll get some relief now Now that your things are all gone I won't sit here staring At nothing all night Bleary-eyed greeting the dawn () All right I miss you tonight And I'm not really sure what to say It keeps rolling in like a slow moving train It gets harder and harder each day Each time I think that the worst of it's through I am stopped in my tracks by some vision of you All right I miss you tonight I admit that I'm falling down blue She lived outside of the city On days when I'd visit her there I'd watch her out dancing All lit by the moon The cold winds of time in her hair Then we'd go driving for hours Turn off the lights and just glide Moving like spirits Along through the night The light through the trees as our guide ()

I am becalmed in virtue Lost to nothing on a bay of dreams Warm weather and a holocaust The tears of God flow as I bleed Left to die by two good friends Abandoned me and put to sleep On a shore where oyster beds Seem plush as down And ripe enough for the Luxor dream Recall the dream of Luxor How fluids will arrive As if by call or schedule Resume through the morning tide Where entry is by seaweed gate And plan the plan of dreams To lose oneself in reverb In all that is and all that seems So ladies, fish and gentlemen Here's my angled dream See me in the blue sky bag And meet me by the sea The oyster boys are swimming now To claim me back from the dead The creatures back from vertigo They fear to fall but haven't fell Will reclaim tries and try again The oyster boys are swimming now Hear them chatter on the tide Of the lost and language lost Hear them chatter on the tide We understand, we understand, we understand And so do I We understand, we understand But fright is real and so am I So ladies, fish and gentlemen Here's my angled dream See me in the blue sky bag And meet me by the sea The entry to lost vestibule Opens on the bay An instant shape of mercury Lost and then retained An instant is an eyelash Caught on the tide Imaginos! Below this bay And then besides... The oyster boys are swimming now One deal is what we made Forest keys and whirlwind cold Green trees too and keys of gold Even locks that won't explode When the skies become a scroll Having lost its interest See that's the deal we made Just to join the Öyster Cult The Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand
