Richard Thompson - Yankee go home

Tekst :

Oh GI Joe put your gun away
The sun is setting on another day
Why don t you leave us alone?
Yankee go home!

They re burning effigies out in the street
Man the life boats, sound the retreat
Pentagon s on the phone
Yankee go home!

You can t just kiss and run away
There ain t enough money on a sergeant s pay
When the dancehall girl you banged s in the family way

Oh you turned my sister into a whore
With a pair of silk stockings from the PX store
Why don t you leave us alone?
Yankee go home! Yankee go home! Just go home!

My girlfriend still won t talk to me
Since she met with a sailor from the land of the free
I m tired of being alone
Yankee go home!

I lost count of the chewing gum that I ve had
And coca-cola make my teeth go bad
We ll handle this on our own
Yankee go home!

Dow Jones going into a stall
Spray paint saying it on every wall
The climb was fine, now it s time to decline and fall

Over-paid, over-sexed and over here
Get smart, gringo, disappear
The Hun s at the gates of Rome
Yankee go home! Yankee go home! Go home!
Go home! Go home!

Inne utwory

  • Nottamun town
  • Time to ring some changes
  • From galway to graceland
  • Hide it away
  • Business on you
  • Book song
  • Living in luxury
  • Beat the retreat
  • Drowned dog black night
  • The same thing
  • Row, boys row
  • How many times
  • Taking my business elsewhere
  • The sun never shine on the poor
  • Losowe utwory

    Underwear

    [Intro]
    Ladies and Gentlemen
    Oh,oh, we like

    [Chorus]
    Got pussy everywhere
    Weed in the air
    I m in my underwear
    My under the underwear
    Liquor everywhere
    Condoms over their
    I m in my underwear
    My under the underwear...

    All over me

    Hey, went in the shower
    And I fainted on the floor
    I was free swimming in light
    You were so scared
    You washed my head
    In bright red water
    You really though
    I was dead

    I know why you make me so scared
    You re all I can see
    You speak and my hearing is impaired
    You re all over me

    Laid...

    The magic rebirth

    Celebrate and praise the dead spirit
    Bury your hopes with him
    Nobody and nothing can rejoice me
    except the world of pretence.
    The god doesn t deserve my sacrifice
    and his image must not be
    transfigured in divinity
    Let me make experience of me
    relish the horror of a bloodshed
    feel an instinctive pleasure before
    what commonly stirs up disgust.
    And...

    Never enough

    I don t know if the spell that you re under
    is slowly driving you out of your mind
    you appear like you re lightning and thunder
    and that is really too much
    You don t have to prove to me how beautiful you look when you
    start acting cool
    to love yours getting too...

    Lucille

    Lucille, won t you do your sister s will?
    Oh, Lucille, won t you do your sister s will?
    Well, you ran away and left, I love you still.
    Lucille, please, come back where you belong.
    Oh, Lucille, please, come back where you belong.
    I been good to you, baby, please, don t leave me...
