William Francis (Live)
Уильям Фрэнсис (концертная запись)
William
Francis,
noble
lord
Уильям
Фрэнсис,
знатный
лорд,
His
fortune
built
on
sweat
and
sword
Его
богатство
- пот
и
меч,
Built
an
empire
tall
as
a
hill
Он
воздвиг
империю,
как
холм,
But
he
don't
have
fun
and
he
never
will
Но
не
знает
радости,
и
не
познает,
Sees
the
world
so
far
below
Видит
мир
внизу,
как
муравей,
And
though
he
tries,
he'll
never
know
И
хоть
пытается,
не
сможет
уловить
сей
миг,
Friends
to
greet
the
breaking
of
day
Друзей,
встречающих
рассвет,
And
love
to
pass
the
night
away
И
любовь,
что
коротает
ночь,
William
Francis
high
and
dry
Уильям
Фрэнсис
одинок,
With
his
paradise
denied
Ему
рай
земной
заказан,
William
Francis,
lost,
alone
Уильям
Фрэнсис,
потерянный,
один,
A
thousand
ifs
and
a
heart
of
stone
Тысяча
"если"
и
сердце
из
камня,
He
measures
his
life
in
(gain)
and
cost
Он
мерит
жизнь
свою
в
прибыли
и
цене,
But
he'll
never
add
up
the
world
he
lost
Но
не
сможет
оценить
потерянный
мир,
William
Francis
works
us
hard
Уильям
Фрэнсис
нас
загоняет,
But
we'll
dance
all
the
way
to
the
knacker's
yard
Но
мы
будем
танцевать
до
самой
бойни,
He
cannot
laugh
and
he
cannot
cry
Он
не
может
смеяться,
он
не
может
плакать,
'Cos
William
Francis
is
cold
inside
Ведь
Уильям
Фрэнсис
холоден
внутри,
William
Francis
high
and
dry
Уильям
Фрэнсис
одинок,
With
his
paradise
denied
Ему
рай
земной
заказан,

The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
