poorly - you're more than poorly jimmy
more than that worse than that
this is a case of photographs
smudged and dropped and laughed at
here's some things that came in post
letters never sent but wrote
shelves of books not opened
browsed in and bored you unlocked things
that should have been fastened down
to be burned to be burned jimmy to be gone forever
so you're down town raking bins
through carry-outs and skins
to find the hundred things that led you here
so you're down town raking bins
through carry-outs and skins
to find the hundred things that led you here
long night walking hills
scratched and cut and bruised and hurt
with all your tension and your guilt
stories of the berr and care and speed you spilled
pleased at your speaking and worried by the content
about this love and this land and this firmament
forgotten how to dream started just to scream
forgotten to return to return jimmy to fight your way back
so you're down town raking bins
through carry-outs and skins
to find the hundred things that led you here.
so you're down town raking bins
through carry-outs and skins
to find the hundred things that led you here
tired well i'm tired too jimmy
more than that i'm angry at that
well now that i'm finished
this small town world seems so moch bigger
between jobs and flags and parliaments
but our small time world seems bigger
and maybe more worth fighting for
maybe at the heart of things
they'll be clowns and we'll be kings
so you're down town raking bins
through carry-outs and skins
to find the hundred things that led you here.
so you're down town raking bins
through carry-outs and skins
to find the hundred things that led you here
down town raking bins
just to find the hundred things
down town raking bins
just to find the hundred things
Deacon Blue è una band scozzese formatasi a Glasgow negli anni '80. Il gruppo, guidato dal talentuoso cantautore Ricky Ross, ha raggiunto il successo internazionale con il loro album di debutto *Raintown* (1987), che ha trascorso oltre 16 mesi nelle classifiche britanniche. L'album, incentrato sulla vita nell'urbanistica Scozia, ha generato tre successi top ten: "Loaded", "Chocolate Girl" e "Dignity". Il secondo album, *When The World Knows Your Name* (1989), sebbene più commerciale, non ha ricevuto lo stesso apprezzamento critico. Alcuni critici hanno accusato la band di aver ceduto al successo pop a discapito dell'integrità artistica. Nonostante ciò, il pubblico ha accolto positivamente l'album, che ha raggiunto la vetta delle classifiche britanniche e ha prodotto tre successi top forty: "Real Gone Kid", "Fergus Sings the Blues" e "Wages Day". Deacon Blue è considerata una delle band più importanti della scena musicale scozzese degli anni '80.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
