Roll Over Vaughn Williams Songtext
von Richard Thompson

Gentle ladies, gentlemen
Waiting till the dance begin
Carefully we come to speak a word for all to hear
If you listen, if you should
We won′t be misunderstood
But don't expect the words to ring too sweetly in the air

Live in fear
Live in fear
Live in fear


In the gutter, in the street
Off his head or off his feet
Listen to the scratchy voices eating at your nerves
Pencils ready, paper dry
Soothe the girls and make them cry
Run for cover, things are bad, but now they′re getting worse

Live in fear
Live in fear
Live in fear
Live in fear

Is it painful, is it quiet?
Does it keep you warm at night?
Fool your friends, you fool yourself, the choice is crystal clear
If you play it on your knees
Better men might disagree
Do you laugh or do you stick your finger in your ear?

Live in fear
Live in fear
Live in fear
Live in fear
