A We passed upon the stairs, D Spoken walls and wells, A Although I was a friend F Sat on walls astrand, C Which came as so surprised, A D I spoke into his eyes -- I thought you died alone C А long long time ago
(First chorus): C Oh no, not me, C# We never lost control, C The face, to face, C# A With the man who sold the world.
{ Play intro 6x } A I laughed and shook his hand, D Made my way back home, A I searched from farther land, F Years and years I roamed, C I gazed all gazers there A D We walked a million hills -- I must have died alone, C A long long time ago.
(Second chorus) C Who knows, not me, C# I never lost control, C Your face, to face, C# A With the man who sold the world.
[Applause] [Kurt:] "That was a David Bowie song." [Kurt:] "I didn?t screw it up, did I?" [Dave?:] "No." [Kurt:] "Okay, but here?s another one I?m gonna screw up." [Dave:?] "What is it?" [Kurt:] "Am I gonna do this by myself?" [Dave?:] "Yeah, why don?t you do it by yourself? Do it by yourself!" [Kurt:] "Okay, well. I think I?ll try it in a different key. I?ll try it in a normal key. Yeah. If it sounds bad, these people are just gonna have to wait." [Laughter]
Перевод
Прошли мы горы стен И сплетений вен. Хотя и другом был, Пропуск я просил У тех, кто вечно за ...
Сказал ему в глаза: - ведь умер ты давно Один, давным-давно.
О, нет, не я. Контроль – наш командир. Лицом к лицу Я с тем, кто продал мир.
Смеясь, простился с ним.
В путь ушел домой И вновь стал одержим Той, родной землей. Годами я бродил,
Проверил (измерил) сеть дорог - Но я не умер вновь
Один, давным-давно (и все равно)
Вы что, не я! Контроль – мой командир. Лицом к лицу Ты с тем, кто продал мир.
