Breathe
Just the basic facts:
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave
Udahni
Udahni, udahni vazduh
Ne boj se briga
Idi ali me nemoj ostaviti
Pogledaj okolo i odaberi svoje tlo
Koliko dugo živiš i koliko visoko letiš
I osmehe koje daješ i suze koje plačeš
I sve što dodirneš i sve što vidiš
Je tvoj život i uvek će biti
Trči, zeko trči
Iskopaj tu rupu, zaboravi sunce
I kada je napokoni posao gotov
Ne sedaj vreme je da iskopaš još jednu
Koliko dugo živiš i koliko visoko letiš
Ali jedino ako zajašeš struju
I ako balansiraš na najvećem talasu
Rano juriš ka svom grobu
Comfortably Numb
Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're
sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
There'll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're
sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting
glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Prijatno otupeo
Zdravo.
Ima li nekoga tamo?
Samo klimni ako možeš da me čuješ.
Ima li nekoga kući?
Hajde, sad.
Čujem da se osećas loše.
Pa, mogu da umanjim tvoj bol,
Uspravim na noge ponovo.
Opusti se.
Trebaju mi neke informacije prvo.
Samo osnovne činjenice:
Možeš li mi pokazati gde boli?
1
Nema bola, povlačiš se.
Udaljeni brodovi se dime na horizontu.
Dolaziš samo u talasima.
Tvoje usne se pomeraju, ali ne mogu da
čujem šta govoriš.
Kada sam bio dete imao sam temperaturu.
Moje ruke su se činile kao dva balona.
Sada se taj osećaj vratio još jednom.
Ne mogu da objasnim, ne bi razumeo.
Ja nisam ovo.
Postao sam prijatno otupeo.
Ok.
Samo mali ubod iglom.
Neće biti više - ahhhhh!
Ali možda ćeš se osećati malo bolesnim.
Da li možeš da stojiš?
Verujem da deluje. Dobro.
To će učiniti da izdržiš predstavu.
Hajde vreme je da se krene.
Nema bola, povlačiš se.
Udaljeni brodovi se dime na horizontu.
Dolaziš samo u talasima.
Tvoje usne se pomeraju, ali ne mogu da
čujem šta govoriš.
Kada sam bio dete uhvatio sam brz odsjaj,
U uglu oka.
Okrenuo sam se da pogledam ali nestao je.
Ne mogu da stavim prst na njega sad.
Dete je odraslo, san je nestao.
Postao sam prijatno otupeo.
Nikog Kod Kuće
Imam svoju malu crnu knjigu sa pesmama
u njoj.
Imam torbu sa četkicom za zube i češljem
u njoj.
Kada sam dobar pas, ponekad mi bace
kost.
Imam elastične kese koje čuvaju moje
cipele.
Imam otečene ruke od bluza.
Imam trinaest kanala sranja na TV-u
između kojih mogu da biram.
Imam električno svetlo.
I imam drugi vidokrug.
I zapanjujuću moć zapažanja.
I tako ja znam
Da kada pokušam doći
Na telefon do tebe
Neće biti nikog kod kuće.
Imam obaveznu Hendrix-ovu stvar.
I neizbežne rupice od opekotina
Spreda na mojoj omiljenoj satinskoj
majici.
Imam otiske od nikotina na prstima.
Imam srebrnu kašiku na lancu.
Imam stari klavir da podupre moje
posmrtne ostatke.
Imam divlje buljave oči.
I imam snažnu volju za letenjem.
Ali nigde gde mogu da odletim.
Oooooh, Dušo kada podignem telefon
Idalje neće biti nikog kod kuće.
Imam par Gohills čizama
I imam izbledele krajeve.
Nobody Home
I've got a little black book with my poems
in.
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in.
When I'm a good dog, they sometimes
throw me a bone in.
I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on.
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to
choose from.
I've got electric light.
And I've got second sight.
And amazing powers of observation.
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home.
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm.
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favorite satin
shirt.
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers.
I've got a silver spoon on a chain.
I've got a grand piano to prop up my
mortal remains.
I've got wild staring eyes.
And I've got a strong urge to fly.
But I got nowhere to fly to.
Ooooh, Babe when I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home.
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
and I got fading roots.

Konačni Rez
Kroz riblja sočiva očiju umrljanih suzama
Jedva da mogu definisati oblik ovog
trenutka u vremenu
I daleko od letenja, visoko u čistom
plavom nebu
Vrtoglavo padam u rupu u zemlji gde se
krijem
I ako prođes minsko polje na prelazu
I pobijes pse i prevariš hladne elektronske
oči
I ako prođes pored puške u hodniku
Unesi kombinaciju, otvori tajnu odaju
I ako budem tamo reci ću ti šta je iza zida
Tamo je klinac koji je imao veliku
halucinaciju
Da je vodio ljubav sa devojkama iz
časopisa
I on se pita dali spavaš sa svojom novo
pronađenom verom
Dali bi ga iko mogao voleti
Ili je sve to možda samo ludi san
I ako ti pokažem svoju tamnu stranu
Dali ćeš me i dalje držati večeras
I ako ti otvorim svoje srce
I pokazem ti svoju slabu stranu
Šta bi učinila
Dali bi prodala svoju priču Rolling Stone-u
Dali bi odvela decu
I ostavila me samog
I osmeh je samo uveravanje
Dok mi šapućeš na telefon
Dali bi me spakovala
Ili bi me odvela kući
Mislio sam da bi trebao dušu da ti otvorim
Mislio sam di bi trebao zavese da skinem
Drzao sam nož u drhtavim rukama
I spremio se da učinim to ali onda je
telefon zazvonio
Nikad nisam imao hrabrosti da načinim
konačni rez.
The Final Cut
Through the fish eyed lens of tear stained
eyes
I can barely define the shape of this
moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I'm spiralling down to the hole in the
ground where i hide
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold
electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotgun in the
hall
Dial the combination. open the priesthole
And if i'm in i'll tell you what's behind the
wall
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines
He wonders if you're sleeping with your
new found faith
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream
And if i show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight
And if i open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do
Would you sell your story to rolling stone
Would you take the children away
And leave me alone
And smile in reassurance
As you whisper down the phone
Would you send me packing
Or would you take me home
Thought i oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought i oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but just then the phone
rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut;

Najsrećniji dani naših života
Kada smo odrasli i pošli u školu
bilo je izvesnih nastavnika koji bi
povređivali decu na svaki mogući način
Rugajuću se svemu što smo radili,
Razotkrivajući svaku slabost, bez obzira
koliko je dete dobro sakrilo
Ali u gradu se znalo da kada dođu uveče
kući
njihove debele, psihotične žene će ih
saterati u par centimetara njihovih života
The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children any way they could
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town it was well known
When they got home at night, their fat and
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives
Jedan od mojih poteza
Dan za danom, ljubav postaje siva
Kao koža čoveka koji umire
Noć za noći, a mi se pretvaramo da je sve
uredu
Ali ja sam ostario
Ti si postala hladnija
Ništa više nije zabavno.
I ja mogu osetiti da jedan od mojih poteza
se bliži.
Osećam se hladno kao žilet
Tesan kao stezac
Suv kao doboš na sahrani,
Otrči u spavaću sobu, u koferu na levoj
strani
Pronaćićeš moju omiljenu sekiru
Ne gledaj tako uplašeno
Ovo je samo prolazna faza
Samo jedan od mojih loših dana
Dali bi volela da gledaš TV?
Ili da budeš između listova?
Ili da razmisliš o tihom autoputu?
Dali bi volela nešto da pojedeš?
Dali bi volela da naučiš da letiš?
Dali bi volela da me vidiš kako
pokušavam?
Dali bi volela da pozoveš pandure?
Dali misliš da sam na vreme prestao?
Zašto bežiš?
One of My Turns
Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
Night after night, we pretend it's all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum,
Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the
left
You'll find my favourite axe
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase
Just one of my bad days
Would you like to watch T. V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would you like to see me try?
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?
