Смитс Вот Зэ Волд

Текст песни "Смитс — Вот Зэ Волд"

WHAT'S THE WORLD? (live)
(J. Glennie, P. Gilbertson, G. Whelan, T. Booth)

"Um... this song was written by... erm, erm..."

What would you sell?
Loose glasses and suit
heart and soul
won't wear out
that's not enough!
I wonder what's inside
fish fillet knife
can cut
right through my eye...

I'm looking for some words
to call my own
worn-out phrases
and a hand-me-down
they'll mock me
and where I stand
socked on his back
in a corned beef pan
going under
you can feel them pulling me down
to the rust inside...

This is the way...
Franken-star is born
from bits and pieces
other's have worn
all held together by a management glue
too much glue
watch the stars turn blue
turn blue, turn blue, turn blue, turn blue
I'm going under
you can feel them pulling me down
to the holes of rust
eeh...

aye, aye, aye, aye, aye...
aye, aye, aye, aye, aye...
aye, aye, aye, aye...
aye, aye, aye, aye...
