Someone and someone were down by the pond
Looking for something to plant in the lawn.
Out in the fields they were turning the soil
I'm sitting here hoping this water will boil
When I look through the windows and out on the road
They're bringing me presents and saying hello.
Singing words, words between the lines of age.
Words, words between the lines of age.
If I was a junkman selling you cars,
Washing your windows and shining your stars,
Thinking your mind was my own in a dream
What would you wonder and how would it seem?
Living in castles a bit at a time
The King started laughing and talking in rhyme.
Singing words, words between the lines of age.
Singing words, words between the lines of age.
Out in the fields they were turning the soil
I'm sitting here hoping this water will boil
this water will boil, this water will boil
I'm sitting here knowing this water will boil
Singing words, words between the lines of age.
Singing words, words between the lines of age.
さて"words between the lines of age"とは何か、なかなか難解なところではある。直訳すると歌で何かを語り継ごうということか。なぜ"Singing song"ではないのか"across the line of age"ではないのか、謎の多い曲ではある。
What goes up must come down
Spinning wheel got to go round
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel spin
You got no money, you got no home
Spinning wheel all alone
Talking about your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel turn
Did you find the directing sign
On the straight end of the highway
Would you mind the reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel spinning through
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel line
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel spinning through
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly
What goes up must come down = 盛者必衰、諸行無常を連想します
spinnig wheel = 眠れる森の美女にでてくる糸車、メリーゴーランド、そして当時はやったカスタムバイク、
迷走して空回りする若者の生き様ともとれます
