Birmingham Blues — текст песни (Electric Light Orchestra)

Working on the road across this great big world

Ive been rolling like a stone, I never get back home

Yes, Ive been long-gone

And boy, Ive got the birmingham blues.



Been across the ocean to the south sea isles

Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles

And Ive been long-gone

And boy, Ive got the birmingham blues.



Chorus:

Across the world Ive seen

People and places

Could be the same

But with a different name.



I wouldnt change the things I do for anything

But Id just like to hear the message of the streets again

Give me a ticket

Cause boy, Ive got the birmingham blues.



It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet

Industrial revolution put it on its feet

But its a long, long way

Boy, Ive got the birmingham blues.



Repeat chorus



Ill go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet

Theyll say "you wont stay long, you got them travelling feet

Youll soon be long-gone

cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!"



Repeat chorus



Repeat chorus
