Fred Jones, Pt. 2 (With the West Australian Symphony Orchestra) [Live At Kings Park in Perth, Australia, 3/12/03]
Фред Джонс, часть 2 (с Западно-Австралийским симфоническим оркестром) [Запись концерта в Кингс-Парке в Перте, Австралия, 12 марта 2003 г.]
Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark
Фред сидит один за своим столом в темноте,
There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall
В коридоре ждёт неловкая молодая тень.
He's cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes
Он собрал все свои вещи и сложил их в коробки,
Things that remind him: 'Life has been good'
Вещи, которые напоминают ему: «Жизнь была хороша».
Twenty-five years
Двадцать пять лет
He's worked at the paper
Он проработал в газете.
A man's here to take him downstairs
Здесь мужчина, чтобы проводить его вниз.
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
И мне жаль, мистер Джонс,
It's time
Пора.
There was no party, there were no songs
Не было вечеринки, не было песен,
'Cause today's just a day like the day that he started
Потому что сегодня просто день, как тот, когда он начинал.
Noone has left here that knows his first name
Никто здесь не остался, кто знает его имя,
And life barrels on like a runaway train
И жизнь мчится, как поезд-беглец,
Where the passengers change
Где пассажиры меняются,
They don't change anything
Они ничего не меняют.
You get off; someone else can get on
Ты выходишь; кто-то другой может войти.
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
И мне жаль, мистер Джонс,
It's time
Пора.
Streetlight shines through the shades
Свет уличного фонаря пробивается сквозь шторы,
Casting lines on the floor, and lines on his face
Отбрасывая линии на пол и линии на его лице.
He reflects on the day
Он размышляет о прожитом дне.
Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement
Фред достаёт свои краски и спускается в подвал,
Projecting some slides onto a plain white
Проецирует слайды на простой белый
Canvas and traces it
Холст и обводит их.
Fills in the spaces
Заполняет пробелы.
He turns off the slides, and it doesn't look right
Он выключает слайды, и это выглядит неправильно.
Yeah, and all of these bastards
Да, и все эти мерзавцы
Have taken his place
Заняли его место.
He's forgotten but not yet gone
Он забыт, но ещё не ушёл.
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
И мне жаль, мистер Джонс,
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
И мне жаль, мистер Джонс,
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
И мне жаль, мистер Джонс,
It's time
Пора.
