Lyrics and translation Ali Campbell - Baker Street

Baker Street

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day, you'll drink the night away
And forget about everything

This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now

Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now

Way down the street there's a lad in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything

He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down in some quiet little town
And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
Cause he's rollin', he's the rollin' stone

And when you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home

Baker Street

Tu te faufiles dans Baker Street
La tête pleine de lumière et les pieds lourds
Encore une journée folle, tu vas boire toute la nuit
Et oublier tout

Ce désert de ville te fait sentir si froid
Il y a tellement de gens, mais il n'a pas d'âme
Et il t'a fallu si longtemps pour découvrir que tu avais tort
Quand tu pensais qu'il contenait tout

Tu pensais que c'était si facile
Tu disais que c'était si facile
Mais tu essaies, tu essaies maintenant

Encore un an et tu serais heureux
Juste un an de plus et tu serais heureux
Mais tu pleures, tu pleures maintenant

Tout au bout de la rue, il y a un garçon à sa place
Il ouvre la porte, il a ce regard sur son visage
Et il te demande où tu étais, tu lui dis qui tu as vu
Et tu parles de tout

Il rêve d'acheter du terrain
Il va arrêter la boisson et les aventures d'une nuit
Et ensuite, il s'installera dans une petite ville tranquille
Et oublier tout

Mais tu sais qu'il continuera toujours à bouger
Tu sais qu'il ne cessera jamais de bouger
Parce qu'il roule, il est la pierre qui roule

Et quand tu te réveilles, c'est un nouveau matin
Le soleil brille, c'est un nouveau matin
Et tu vas, tu rentres chez toi
