Nitten åttifire - deLillos

Vannet frøys på bursdagen min

Men da var jeg på tur med deg og noen venner

Og da jeg kom hjem dagen derpå

Hadde kattene driti tre nye steder

Bare ikke i kassa si

Vet ikke om jeg heller hadde gjort noe der

Og platene mine lå strødd utover gulvet

Uten cover og flasker og aske overalt

Og en fyr lå i senga mi

Og det var kaldt

Den kaldeste dagen

Overalt

Den kaldeste dagen i Nittenåttifire

Og dagen gikk med på å varme opp rør i kjelleren

Og skaffe en parafinovnsekspert

Og snakke med en striptease-danserinne

Som hadde med en presang til min bror

Det er han jeg bor sammen med

Og Maya hun er kvart sigøyner rund og skjønn og god

Hun tror hun elsker ham

Mens han drikker øl og spiller gitar dagen lang

Og det er her vi øver

Selv om det er kaldt

Og det er et stor hull i taket

Ute snør det overalt

Og jeg ønsket intenst at du var nær

Og ikke der at du var her

Det ville lindret og vært varmt selv uten klær

For bare du kunne fått meg i ordentlig godt humør

Jeg satt der og røkte og frøs

Og ønsket at jeg var født mye lenger ser

Hvis du bare hadde vært der hadde alt vært greit

Hvis du bare hadde vært her hadde alt vært greit

Hvis du bare hadde vært der hadde alt vært greit

Men dagen etter elsket jeg igjen det gamle huset

Der det stod og ristet

Lenge etter at trailerne hadde kjørt forbi

Jeg hadde litt ved jeg satt der og nøt det

Og se sola viste seg det var det som skulle til

Og noen der inne spilte og sang for meg

Og jeg hadde allerede gjort en fornuftig ting

Ringt deg

The water froze on my birthday

But then I was on a trip with you and some friends

And when I got home the next day

Had the cats driti three new places

Just do not say at checkout

Do not know if I would have done anything there either

And my plates were strewn across the floor

Without cover and bottles and ashes everywhere

And a guy was lying in my bed

And it was cold

The coldest day

Everywhere

The coldest day in Ninety-eight

And the day agreed to heat pipes in the basement

And get a paraffin stove expert

And talk to a striptease dancer

Who had a present for my brother

He's the one I live with

And Maya she is a quarter gypsy round and beautiful and good

She thinks she loves him

While drinking beer and playing guitar all day long

And this is where we practice

Even though it's cold

And there's a big hole in the ceiling

Outside it is snowing everywhere

And I intensely wished you were close

And not there that you were here

It would soothe and be warm even without clothes

Because only you could get me in a really good mood

I sat there smoking and freezing

And wished I was born much longer looking

If you had only been there, everything would have been fine

If you had only been here, everything would have been fine

If you had only been there, everything would have been fine

But the next day I loved the old house again

Where it stood and toasted

Long after the trailers had passed

I had a little wood I sat there and enjoyed it

And seeing the sun turned out that was what was going to happen

And someone in there played and sang for me

And I had already done a sensible thing

Called you
