The Gaslight Anthem - Film Noir (’59 Sound Sessions) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I'm all washed out by the side of the road
Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose
Sayin', "Baby honey child, I've loved you so long
But you deserve much better than me."

So I been burnin' all around all the miles in the road
And I'm never goin' back and I'm never goin' home
I've been gone too long, I've been less right than wrong
I lost so much blood in the fallin' out

And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
Until all I remember was burnin' away
And all I remember was burnin' it away

For r ten long years I've been hustlin' around
Tryin' to wash the sins and the sweat from my brow
Just tryin' to find a better life for me and my own
Just some rest for these tired workin' fingers

But nobody never gonna tell you the way
You gotta figure it out boys and suffer the rain
And the fools in the night and the heat of the day
When all you ever really wanted was for someone to understand

And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
Until all I remember was burnin' away
And all I remember, you burned it away

Well, don't you take it so hard and baby, don't you cry
And cross your hard heart and hope to die
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lie all the time
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night

You're sugar and spice and everything nice
You got Monroe hips, your poisoned lips and knives
And you're sugar and spice and everything nice
You open wounds in a young boy's pride

And you're sugar and spice and everything nice
Monroe hips, your poisoned lips and knives
And sugar and spice, everything nice
Open wounds in a young boy's pride

And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
Until all I remember was burnin' away
And all that you left me, I burned it away

Don't you take it so hard and baby, don't you cry
Oh cross your hard heart and hope to die
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lie all the time
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night

And we got a bit of time, time tickin' away
Time, time tickin' away (all over your face)
Time, time tickin' away
All over my face time's tickin' away
