Текст песни The Last Day of Pompeii - Trout Fishing In America

On the last day of Pompeii, I thought I heard some poor boy say
Oh wow man, if I knew then what I know now
I would've done more, been more than I'd been
Had fun, more sin, more mortal sin
Oh wow, if I knew then what I know now
I should've sent back that steak that was so overdone
Grabbed that big break while there was time, time, time
Turned my life into a fantasy
Hot stuff for me to remember, remember
And now that I'm a goner
All that lava rushin' 'round the corner
Oh wow, man. I ain't complainin', only thinkin' out loud
You know that my life would be different, my love would be different
If I knew then what I know now
My life would be different, my love would be different
If I knew then what I know now
On the last day of Pompeii, I thought I heard some poor girl say
Oh wow, man. If I knew then what I know now
I would've taken up the slide trombone
Had a garden and grew my own
Oh wow, man. If I knew then what I know now
I knew I should've taken that Mediterranean cruise
I know I could have filled up on chocolate, cigarettes, and booze
Given some perfect stranger the blues
Hot stuff for me, all that stuff, speakin' of hot stuff
And when Vesuvio came to call, arrivederci, I'd've had a ball
Oh wow, man. I ain't complainin', only thinkin' out loud
You know that my life would be different, my love would be different
If I knew then what I know now
My life would be different, my love would be different
If I knew then what I know now
Turned my life into a fantasy
Hot stuff for me to remember, remember
And now that I'm a goner
All that lava rushin' 'round the corner
Oh wow, man. I ain't complainin', only thinkin' out loud
You know that my life would be different, my love would be different
If I knew then what I know now
My life would be different, my love would be different
If I knew then what I know now
My life would be different. Man, my wife would be different
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
