The Delgados - Keep On Breathing
текст песни

I wonder if he knows
The pleasure that he shows
I can't seem to hide from the sounds around me.
I wonder where she goes
Dressed up in those clothes
We just watch her drive away

A woman sees her friend’s
Continuous distraction
She fills up the days while she waits for phone calls
A life in evidence
Is evidently lonely
We all need a tale to tell

Just another list of consequences of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings that we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons, and all the “whys” and “wherefores”
We just want to keep on breathing

My view is compromised
With undernourished eyes
They watch and they wait for an altercation
These boxes on the road
These overpriced abodes
Will somebody give them life?

We occupy a space
With barriers and fences
There's no line of sight into this protection
Forgive us all, a cheat
Is just another sentence
We all need a tale to tell

Just another list of consequences of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings that we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons, and all the “whys” and “wherefores”
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing

We will watch and learn
We will watch you perform
Waiting behind the seat
Telling the tale

I wonder if he knows
How far his pleasure goes
It all comes apart at the stroke of midnight.
I wonder where she goes
Now she's in some clothes
We just hear her drive away

Just another list of consequences of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings that we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons, and all the “whys” and “wherefores”
We just want to keep on breathing

Life is just a list of consequences of things that we do
Just another hit of happenings that we have to live through
In and out of all the reasons, and all the “whys” and “wherefores”
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
We just want to keep on breathing
