Trying to Cry — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

See the guy in the corner

The one whos drinking another glass

Theres a look in his eye

That Ive seen so many times in the past

Ive seen it in the mirror

And Ive seen it in my friends

When we realize weve lost ourselves

And we try to make amends

Hell drink another two or three

And the room will start to spin

Then hell try to let the feelings show

But hell find he cant give in



You remember what your brother said

Remember what your brother said

"ill tell the whole class if I see you"

You remember what your mother said

Remember what your mother said

"never be a man if you do"



See the guy in the corner

Putting out another cigarette

Maybe someone is dying

From something that they cant cure yet

Maybe a lover is cheating

Maybe a lover just left

But somethings gone, maybe forever

And its something that he cant forget



You remember what your brother said
