Bell X1 - Amelia [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I'd say life's a different story when you're facing certain death
I wonder, "Did they kick back when they knew the game was up?"
Static on the radio ain't no soundtrack for this end;
Stick on a bit of Wagner, and we'll go down
Let's see if we skim

Maybe there's no time for grand exits and pause;
Twisting of propellers chopping at the froth
And as she turned to Fred, she saw the fear in his eyes
And whatever was between them was heavy in the last word he said:

Amelia

Or, maybe they went on to grow oranges and pears
On their own island, Amelia and Fred
She'd dance for him in the evenings as the red sun fell
He'd sit there smiling up at her thinking, "This is just swell
Take me now."

Some say she resurfaced as a Tokyo Rose;
Talking on the radio, telling sweet lies
But remember when the farmer asked, "Have you flown far?"
She just smiled back at him and said, "I've come from America."

Amelia

Time has cast its shadow; the story lost its legs
Our favourite missing person still rears her head;
Not on a milk carton, just some bones on a beach
That just might be a tall white girl called Amelia

It's just like flying...
