No ChanceRegret — текст песни (Lou Reed)

It must be nice to be steady, it must be nice to be firm

It must be nice never to move off the mark



It must be nice to be dependable and never let anyone down

It must be great to be all the things youre not

It must be great to be all the things that Im not



I see you in the hospital your humor is intact

Im embarrassed by the strength I seem to lack



If I was in your shoes, so strange that Im not

Id fold up in a minute and a half

Id fold up in a minute and a half



And I didnt get a chance to say goodbye

No - I didnt get a chance to say goodbye



It must be nice to be normal it must be nice to be cold

It must be nice not to have to go oh up or down



But me Im all emotional no matter how I try

Youre gone and Im still here alive

Youre gone and Im still here alive



And I didnt get a chance to say goodbye

No - I didnt get a chance to say goodbye



There are things we say we wish we knew and in fact we never do

But Id wish Id known that you were going to die



Then I wouldnt feel so stupid, such a fool that I didnt call

And I didnt get a chance to say goodbye

I didnt get a chance to say goodbye



No theres no logic to this - whos picked to stay or go

If you think too hard it only makes you mad



But your optimism made me think you really had it beat

So I didnt get a chance to say goodbye

I didnt get a chance to say goodbye

No - I didnt get a chance to say goodbye

I didnt get a chance to say goodbye
