England Dan & John Ford Coley - Hollywood Heckle & Jive [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
A young boy out there
Hitching a ride
With songs in his pockets and stars in his eyes
Telling the folks back home
That it's just begun
He'll be the lucky one

Young girl out there
Reading the trades
Of movie directors and promises made
Hoping to see her name on the silver screen
Just another dream

[Chorus:]
Hollywood Heckle and Jive
The weaker surrender
The stronger survive
City of the Angels
Won't you please set me free?

[Verse 2:]
I've been working and I've been trying
To talk to the people on Sunset and Vine
I've been waiting so long for my ship to come in
Just need a lucky win

Time after time
I've decided to stay
The dreams in my head
They just won't go away
Walking the streets
And seeing the names in the lights
It's just another night

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
There's always someone new in this crazy town
If someone goes up
That means somebody must come down

[Chorus:]
Hollywood Heckle and Jive
The weaker surrender
The stronger survive
City of the Angels
Won't you please?
Won't you please?
Won't you please?
Shine a light
Shine a light on me?
