Slow Club - Because We're Dead [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Well, I don't know
What I'm doing here
I could say that I do
But I don't
You could wrap a million candles
Into a torch and hope that it steers you home
You could cut all the telephone wires
And hope that nobody does get through
I might not have the power of telepathy
But I'm gonna be contacting you

Because I borrowed a book that I saw
Was planted deep inside your bag
It gave me an excuse
To see you again
But I'm not a thief
I'll give it back

[Chorus]
And don't you ever wonder
Who's living in that house
"It's too small for people." we all said
"But there's people in the floorboards." said the mouse

And I showed you the things that I'd made
You didn't think that they were too great
But I'm glad that you thought of it
Think what you're taught
Because everybody else's mind is grey

We kept up the act for, two-o-o-o-o
Dates before it needed glue
Well, I didn't drink what you drank
You didn't sink when I sank
So there's little else for us to do

[Chorus]

Well, I didn't say "goodbye" today
Oh I did it the coward's way
I tied it to the neck of a seafaring deck
That was sailing off down your way
But you poured petrol all over
The ship you used to sail the sea
You didn't think that you'd be coming home again
So you set fire to me

Don't you ever ponder
On things we never said
Yes I did
But when we were kids
Now it's too late
Because we're dead [x4]
