Fred Jones Part 2 - Live Kings Park in Perth, Australia, 3/12/03
Fred Jones Partie 2 - En direct de Kings Park à Perth, Australie, 3/12/03
Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark
Fred est assis seul à son bureau dans le noir
There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall
Il y a une jeune ombre maladroite qui attend dans le couloir
He has packed all his things
Il a fait ses valises
And he's put them in boxes
Et il les a mises dans des cartons
Things that remind him that life has been good
Des choses qui lui rappellent que la vie a été bonne
Twenty five years he's worked at the paper
Vingt-cinq ans qu'il travaille au journal
A man's here to take him downstairs
Un homme est pour l'emmener en bas
And I'm sorry Mr Jones, it's time
Et je suis désolé M. Jones, il est temps
There was no party and there were no songs
Il n'y a pas eu de fête et il n'y a pas eu de chansons
Cause today's just a day like the day that he started
Parce qu'aujourd'hui est un jour comme le jour il a commencé
And no one is left here that knows his first name
Et il ne reste personne ici qui connaisse son prénom
Yeah, and life barrels on like a runaway train
Ouais, et la vie fonce comme un train en fuite
Where the passengers change
les passagers changent
They don't change anything
Ils ne changent rien
You get off
Tu descends
Someone else can get on
Quelqu'un d'autre peut monter
And I'm sorry Mr Jones, it's time
Et je suis désolé M. Jones, il est temps
The streetlight it shines through the haze
Le réverbère brille à travers la brume
Casting lines on the floor
Jetant des lignes sur le sol
And lines on his face
Et des lignes sur son visage
He reflects on the day
Il réfléchit à la journée
Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement
Fred sort ses peintures et descend au sous-sol
Projecting some slides onto a plain white canvas
Projetant quelques diapositives sur une toile blanche
And traces it
Et il les trace
Fills in the spaces
Remplit les espaces
He turns off the slides
Il éteint les diapositives
And it doesn't look right
Et ça n'a pas l'air bien
Yeah, and all of these bastards have taken his place
Ouais, et tous ces salauds ont pris sa place
He's forgotten but not yet gone
Il a été oublié mais pas encore disparu
And I'm sorry Mr Jones
Et je suis désolé M. Jones
And I'm sorry Mr Jones
Et je suis désolé M. Jones
And I'm sorry Mr Jones, it's time
Et je suis désolé M. Jones, il est temps
