CLOUD NINE [Doin` Fine] — текст песни (Rod Stewart)

darling part of my life it wasn`t very pretty. See, I was born and raised
in the slums of the city.It was a 1 room shack and slept 10 other children
beside me.We hardly had enough food or room to sleep. It was hard times. I
needed some thing to ease my troubled mind.

Listen, my father didn`t know the meaning of work. He disrespected mama and
treated us like dirt.I left home seeking a job that I never did find.Depressed
and down hearted I took to cloud nine.
I`m doin fine, up here, on cloud nine. Listen 1 more time, I`m doin fine, up
here, on cloud nine.

Folks down there tell me, they say give your self a chance son don`t let life
pass you by,but the world of reality is a rat race where only the strongly
survive.It`s a dog-eat-dog world and that ain`t no lie. It ain`t even safe no
more, to walk the streets at night.
I`m doin fine, on cloud nine.

Let me tell you about cloud nine. Cloud nine, you can be what you want to
be,(cloud nine)you ain`t got no responsibilities,and every man,every man is
free (cloud nine) your a million miles from reality, reality I wanna say upper,
higher,upper, up, up and away.

I wanna say I love the life I live, and I`m gonna live the life I love, up here
on cloud nine.

I, I, I, I, I, I`m riding high on cloud nine.

Your as free as a bird in flight, (cloud nine)there`s
no difference between day and night (cloud nine)It`s a world of love and
harmony, (cloud nine) your a million miles from reality,reality wonna say
upper,higher,upper, up,up and away. Cloud nine you can be what you wanna
be,(cloud nine)you ain`t got no responsibilities,(cloud nine)every man and his
mind is free,your a million miles from reality, you can be what you wanna be.
I`m feelin fine on cloud nine.
