John Cooper Clarke - Innocents [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I never broke your windows
I never broke your rules
I never took to your tender ventetta
I didn't touch you family jewels
Revenge is a strong emotion
Friction is the mother of pearl
It's a disapproving, disappointing, disappearing world

Now what's this...

I didn't burn your house down
I didn't break your hearts
I never tried to steal your car
I wouldn't know where to start
Don't blame me if your life's a bore
Not gonna look at your curves
Don't point your finger anymore
You're getting on my nerves

Your tepid shallows of a failing brain...

Innocents
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the holy in a sense

I never broke your windows
I never broke your rules
I never took to your tender ventetta
Didn't touch you family jewels
Revenge is a strong emotion
Friction is the mother of pearl
It's a disapproving, disappointing, disappearing world

Who is if I'm not to blame...

Innocents
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the holy in a sense

I didn't run to your rescue
I didn't hear you scream
Citizen's arrest
You've got to give Joe Public his cream
Murder is a powerful picture
It's food for the famished mass
But I didn't do your meter's
I'd never do things like that

In the who's who of capital gains....

Innocents
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the wholly innocents
Innocents
...last of the holy in a sense
