Narrator — текст песни (R.E.M.)

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



When I was watching TV back in 73
A skinny old man sure appealed to me
His name by now, I`m sure you know
The man who played a starring role in Jacques Cousteau
Oh, I

And ever since then I`ve written the dude
Dreaming of swimming around the
Coral reef
I`d even bought my camera and my scuba gear
If only Jacques had called to stop a career
Oh, I

(chorus)
I wanna be a narrator
I wanna be a narrator (I wanna be a narrator)
For the Jacques Cousteau show
For the Jacques Cousteau show (for the Jacques Cousteau show)

Swimming under water with my microphone
I`d record noises in the aqua-zone
Chasing down the killer whale that`s eating our crew
Just to bring the story facts back to you
Oh, I

(repeat chorus)

I`ve written the networks, sent my picture too
Done everything I could possibly do
I`ve given up trying to get through to him
Maybe he knows I don`t know how to swim
Oh, I

(repeat chorus)
