They used to think it was so cute When she said, "Dyer Maker" All the boys knew it was a joke about Jamaica She'd always find a ride back home from the barShe used to feel so stupid when they'd talk about the music Born into every single tune They used to hum against her lips with their hands on her hips They used to kiss in the carDancing days, houses of the holy Hotshot in the city in the middle of the prairie Flirting with the boys with all her charmsBut first they laugh, then they eyes then the touch 'em on the arm's And the drinks, they never seem to cost money And Saturday night was a runway That extended into Sunday and sometimes MondayBack then it was beautiful, the boys were sweet and musical The laser lights looked mystical, messed up stuff felt magical Girls didn't seem so difficult, boys didn't seem so typical It was warm and white and wonderful, we were all invincibleTired eyes, trampled under foot Dazed and confused, c-c-cocaine blues She hasn't got any eye contact tonightThe boys are getting younger and the bands are getting louder And the new girls are coming up like some white unopened flowers She's pretty sure that that's where their power isBack then it was unified, the punks, the skins, the greaser guys Then one summer, two kids died and one of them was crucified Now it's so competitive, the sleeplessness and sedatives I know it sounds repetitive, every show can't be a benefitWe were kids in the crowd now we're dogs in this war We were wasps with new wings, now we're bugs in the jar We were hot, soft and pure, now we're scratched up in scars We were counting cards, now we eat in our cars The boys in the band they know they'll never be starsBack then they were quite convinced, firing and sickering The front row girls were posturing, we were all imagining And man, we had some massive nights Some bashes and some bloody fights back before those two kids died
Это интересно:The Hold Steady считается альтернативная группой из Бруклина, хотя четверо из пяти музыкантов живут в Миннеаполисе (эта тема, кстати, часто отражается в их песнях). Легенда о создании группы хлещет банальностью: Тэд Каблер и Крейг Финн сидели на диване и смотрели запись старого фестиваля The Last Waltz и Крейг заявил: "Чувак, почему больше нету таких групп, а? Давай создадим такую группу!". Первый... продолжение
А как ты думаешь, о чем песня "Joke About Jamaica" ?
