Roger Waters - The Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

5:01 AM

An angel on a Harley
Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone
(shoop, shoop, shoop)
Puts his bike up on it's stand
Leans back and then extends
A scarred and greasy hand
He said, "How you doing bro?
Where your been? Where you going?"
Then he takes your hand
In some strange Californian handshake
And breaks the bone
(Have a nice day, heh)

A housewife from Encino
Whose husband's on the golf course
With his book of rules
(shoop, shoop, shoop)
Breaks and makes a 'U' and idles back
To take a second look at you
You flex your rod
Fish takes the hook
Sweet vodka and tobacco in her breath
Another number in your little black book

[Chorus]
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Ooh babe, I must be dreaming

I was standing on the leading edge
The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes
"Jump", said Yoko Ono
"I'm too scared and too good looking", I cried
"Go on", she said
"Why don't you give it a try?
Why prolong the agony? All men must die."

Do you remember Dick Tracy?
Do you remember Shane?
(And mother wants you)
Could you see him selling tickets
Where the buzzard circles over
(Shane)
(The body on the plain)
Did you understand the music, Yoko
Or was it all in vain?
(Shane)
The bitch said something mystical
(Herro)
So I stepped back on the curb again

[Chorus]
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Ooh babe, I must be dreaming again

These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking x5
