Shades — текст песни (Iggy Pop)

Pop/bowie



You gave me a present

The paper was blue and green

I unwrapped it with pleasure

These are the best shades Ive ever seen

You can be my girlfriend

Forever and a day

I never thought I was worth much

Or that anyone would treat me this way



Im not

The kind of guy

Who dresses like a king

And a really fine pair of shades

Means everything

And the light that blinds my eyes

Shines from you

It makes me come in the night

It makes me swim with delight

I like this pain

I like this mirror

I like these shades



I could have had a problem

I might have never followed through

The other guys are in trouble

They wouldnt listen to a girl like you

These shades say something

Ill bet they cost a lot

I hope I dont break em

I hope we dont break up



Im not

The kind of guy

Who dresses like a king

And a really fine pair of shades

Means everything

And the light that blinds my eyes

Shines from you

It makes me come in the night

It makes me swim with delight

I like this pain

I like this mirror

I like these shades
