I'm walking slowly, about the sea
Lover by lover, I pass them on the beach
The sun is shining, so bright today
Your voice is singing to me, across the waves
Ah
There's a young boy, makes eyes at me
Does he mouth my name, or is this just a dream?
I know inside that I can really love
The waves are glistening, like heaven from above
And here we'll stay
And sing forever of peace
I know we found love here by the sea
Could this be heaven, could this be peace
No more than sunshine and sand and waters deep
I'd always dreamed that life could be like this
Forever high and sigh from kiss to kiss
I know I've found love here by the sea
C’hanno rubato i corpi, il viso, i movimenti…c’hanno inventato miti
Giocattoli innocenti si sono rivelati massaggi per le menti
Ricordo ancora la scatola che scartai curiosa
Rebecca mia Rebecca, capelli biondo stoppa made in Italy
Che cos’eri tu? Con quegli occhi sorridenti Con quel fiocco sulla testa, la tua faccia grassa
Oh Rebecca, Oh Rebecca, Oh Ti parlavo di me, ti cambiavo le pose, ti trasformavo in attrice Con le parti da bella, da gran donna…..eri il mito della bionda
E crescevo, crescevo, con la smania ribelle D’esser subito grande, d’esser subito bella Di dovere….se volevo l’amore……….
E crescevo, crescevo, ma qualcosa cambiava, ora non si giocava piùle mie amiche di classe con le loro conquiste e tu, e tu, e tu ahi
o crescevo, crescevo, ma qualcosa è cambiato mi son vista allo specchio con quel poco di seno, con quel naso che avevo…mi coprivo la faccia….Cosa c’hanno inventato? cosa avevo sognato? Dimmelo, dimmelo tu Rebecca…Oh Rebecca…
Rebecca, breathe me the old song,
It makes me feel right in a world so wrong.
Rebecca, breathe me the old land,
With pentacles cakes in our hand.
Rebecca, help me to your star,
It shines right away, where ever you are.
Rebecca, let your mind no more,
Over such darkening your door.
Rebecca, back in our school days,
We would play in separate yards,
And then deep in the same haze,
We wrestled with faceless guards.
Oh Rebecca, Oh Rebecca ohohoh Rebecca.
Rebecca, breathe me the old song,
It makes me feel right in a world so wrong,
Rebecca, breathe me then your land,
Hold you as I touch your hand...
So please be back, so please be back.
Back into the dreams I had behind, Up on wise.
Back in to the dream I had the same Oh oh. Rebecca,
Ohohohohoh Rebecca I am so sad See you shine,
see you shine awaySo oohhh.
Hazel O`Connor
A top flat in bayswater, Rebecca would be doing my hair
We had so much fun she sang all of the words to my song
as it played on the player
She'd give me her bed for the night, she would feed me and clothe me and such
I'd laugh and say, when the light hits that way
you remind me of Shirley Maclaine
When will I see you again
When will we sing silly harmonies into the night?
I try and try but I can't help missing you
I wonder where you are now
We had us a dream back then, when we got back the things that were stole
We'd have an old fashioned party, an orchestra, long gowns
And we'd be the belles of the ball
And we'd dance to the emperor's waltz, beacuse that was her favourite song
I'd laugh and say, when the light hits that way
you remind me of Shirley Maclaine
When will I see you again
When will we sing silly harmonies into the night?
I try and try but I can't help missing you
I wonder where you are now
Are you an angel, have you been reborn?
Did you find your buddha, was it worth all the toil?
I write this 'cause I miss you and
there's nothing more I can do
When will I see you again
When will we sing silly harmonies into the night?
I try and try but I can't help missing you
I wonder where you are now
Now the top flat is empty, but our rare old times call from the walls
And I hope that wherever you are you're alright
And I'll still have our ball
And we'll dance to the emperor's waltz because that was your favourite tune
I'd laugh and say, when the light hits that way
You remind me of Shirley Maclaine
When will I see you again
When will we sing silly harmonies into the night?
I try and try but I can't help missing you
I wonder where you are now.
In my mind I talk about Rebecca, suddenly so fine.
In my mind the visions of Rebecca, suddenly she's mine.
All night, seems she put a spell on me, oh yeah.
All night, gonna be the death of me
I go out and get her.
Rebecca, you're dreaming out loud.
Rebecca, you got your head in the clouds.
You're saving yourself from someone.
Rebecca hanging on tight.
Waiting for Rebecca dancing in the dark.
Satin and lace, she's so fine and mellow,
creature from the stars.
So wrong, running with Rebecca now, oh yeah.
So wrong, gonna be the death of me.
I'll go out and get her.
Rebecca, you're dreaming out loud.
Rebecca, you got your head in the clouds, all right.
You're saving yourself for someone, Rebecca.
Rebecca, you're running away.
Rebecca, you can't face the day, all right,
'cause you only live for the night.
Rebecca, you're always running around.
Ooh, talk about Rebecca's eyes
everything you fantasize.
Well, she drag you down to earth.
She's the devil in disguise.
Break you down to size.
Rebecca, you're dreaming out loud.
Rebecca, you got your head in the clouds, all right.
You only live for the night, Rebecca.
Rebecca, you're dreaming out loud.
Rebecca, you got your head in the clouds, all right.
Get you, brushing your hair with the wind
Riding your bike up on Mulholland Drive
Oh, I got a five-minute rush from you in your faded blue jeans
How many years is it you've been alive?
Oh, I'll take a guess, Rebecca, could it be eighteen, nineteen or so?
Ooh, Rebecca, will I ever know?
No way, where would I fit in your life?
What would you do with a man without change
Too strange and too poor to be trusted, rusted a couple of times
Shaken a bit by the years on the road
And the women I've known? Rebecca, you'd have liked the name I gave to you
Ooh, Rebecca, if you only knew
Go home
To your father's friends
Straight sons
To your mother's friends
Sweet ones
to those families
Well-to-do and so well-established
And one day you might wake up to a shock, girl
What has it come to this sensible life
The wife of a fool? Rebecca, reading magazines in a chic salon
Stood by my missus in the lobby.
Asked to carry bags of Madame.
Elevators rush to the sea.
Rummaged through my coat for the key.
After tea lounged on the sofa.
My lady spoke of everyone she knew there.
She paused.
Grabbed my wrist.
Said,"Now, darling there he is."
I looked up.
My surroundings stirred and smeared.
His eyes calm and distant.
His mouth so severe.
Though half his age I was.
I've never been in love.
Before then.
Max, you're so distraught.
Perhaps, I'll help you out.
Your wife was so much more than me.
But I can be her now.
I can be her now.
Rush down the stairs to that man.
Mr.Summer, he nodded his head.
With laughter in his eyes.
A smirk followed close behind.
"We're strangers but I'm sure we should be married."
I spoke to my master.
She nodded her head.
Though I was young and scared.
With Max standing there.
Who's got all the answers to questions that Rebecca has?
She's been cluelessly wonderin just how long she's been had.
She knows more than you or me, but she never thinks she's wrong
It seems the tables are turnin
she's found herself hurtin for oh so long
Does anybody out there want to help Rebecca find the clue to life?
I guess she's feels that she's the victim and we are the knife
There is a price you pay when you put on that face and roll the dice
One day soon you'll realize the world ain't that nice
Chorus
Are you alright? Are you OK?
Does anybody give a care around your way?
Will you be alright after we go?
Will you tell me someday cause I'll never know
Everybody knows that you can't read the writing on the wall so don't come in
Even you and I know you can't and you won't want to start it all over again
Why don't you just travel down that line, cause we don't have to let you in
Well you seem to think you know it all, let me tell you something - you can't win
(Chorus)
Hey Rebecca this is your pilot speaking and you're about to land.
I hope you got all the answers and you've come to understand
That people and things are always going to change and you can't stop them now.
But just one thing before you go, will you look back and let us know.
Mais pourquoi moi j'arrive pas a tenir sur le vélo ?
Sans m'éclater la fasse sur le bitume aussitot,
Depuis que mon papa m'a enlevé les roulettes
Je me casse, je me casse toujours la binette
Tout a l'heure devant les voisins je suis tombé,
Au fond de moi je sais bien que je ne suis plus un bébé,
Mais le pire c'est que Rebecca, Rebecca était là,
Et qu'elle m'a montré du doigt en chantant avec sa p'tite voix:
"Ouh la femmelette, il sais pas faire de vélo sans roulettes"
Ecoutez moi tout le monde moi je vais m'en aller,
Et quand je serai parti, ben vous allez tous pleurer.
Je reviendrai dans 10 ans avec tout plein d'argent,
Des voitures, des châteaux et des millions de cadeaux,
Et puis toi Rebecca quand tu verras tout ça,
à genoux tu viendras et tu me supplieras
de t'emmener avec moi faire un tour de bateau,
Pasque j'ai oublié de le dire mais j'aurai aussi des bateaux...
"Et là j'te dirai"
Souviens-toi du vélo... souviens-toi du vélo !
"Heu... j'men souviens du vélo hein... mais j'veux dire,
t'arrives a t'nir dessus ou... hahaha !"
Alors là Rebecca tu vas beaucoup trop loin,
J'appelle immédiatement tous mes copains martiens,
J'ai fabriqué 200 milliards de robots de la mort,
on verra ma jolie si tu rigoles encore !
"Haha ouai... hé hé j'rigole pas du tout mé j'veux dire heu...
Of the road tonight
Motorcycle fights
Through the time
Wheels
Nailed to motorway
Counting miles away
It's not me
Well, I guess I am superhero
When I take you by the hand
All the words are dead in a wind blow
Rebecca
Wild
Streets like open space
Dark, they form the face
Of the desperation
Leave
Smell of gasoline
My beloved machine
For next generation
We like king and queen in our kingdom
And I know there is no end
Till we moving faster than wind blow
Rebecca
She looks through the glass
Raindrops are cold
Merging and deviding
We're chasing the end of white line
We're the ones who are faster than time, time time
We're chasing the end of white line
I have come to realize
My bad memories
Were an indulgence of mine
So I close my tired eyes
Stop this train of thought
Stop it dead in its tracks
But will you put your faith in something
When you are afraid?
That's what we were taught
To bow our heads and pray
Turn yourself around
You can do better ,Rebecca
Turn yourself around
Make yourself better, Rebecca
I can sit and try to conjure words
But there is nothing left to prove you
Let me sit and watch you working
I Won't be a pain you will not notice me at all
Gone like seasons
All wasted
I did not see the winter
I've got a girl, she lives up on the hill
I've got a girl, she lives up on the hill
Well, I've tried to quit her but I love that baby still
She's got eyes like diamond that shine like Klondike gold
Eyes like diamond that shine like Klondike gold
Ooh, wee, ooh
Now you're so beautiful but you're gonna die someday
You're so beautiful but you're gonna die someday
All I want is a little lovin' before you passed away
Yeah, oh, I'm gonna jump for joy
Yeah, oh, little baby boy
My baby just bought me a brand new choo-choo toy
Oh, the moon look good now, shinin' through the trees
The moon look good now, shinin' through the trees
Though mummy may look good when she's walkin' here with me
But Rebecca, Rebecca, get your big legs off me
Rebecca, Rebecca, get your big legs off me
I got your letter this morning
And it knocked me down to the floor
We have such a good thing going
Now you have to kick me out the door
I loved you so much
Now I'm hurting
Wouldn't be caught off my life
The only thing I didn't really do, girl
Was to make you my loving wife
But Rebecca, it's gonna get better
Rebecca, yeah, it's gonna get better
I got your message this morning
And it's causing me so much pain
I nearly wanna think you're up calling
Oh, please take me back again
With you I'll take my chances
And I feel good poise in time
No more midnight romances
Give me again and our love turn in fine
'Cause Rebecca, I'm gonna get better
Who's got all the answers to questions that Rebecca has?
She's been cluelessly wondering just how long she's been had,
She knows more than you or me and she never thinks she's wrong,
It seems the tables are turning; she found herself hurting for oh so long
Does anybody out there want to help Rebecca find a clue to life;
I guess she feels she was the victim and we are the knife.
There is a price to pay when you put on that face and roll the dice,
One day soon you'll realize the world ain't that nice...
Chorus
Are you alright and are you o.k.?
Didn't anybody ever give a care around your way?
Will you be all right after we go?
Won't you tell me someday oh I'll never know
Everybody knows you can't read the writing on the wall
so don't come in.
Even you and I know you can't
and you won't want to start this thing all over again.
Why don't you just drive on down that line,
cause we don't have to let you in.
Well, you seem to think you know it all;
let me tell you something... you can't win
Chorus
Are you alright and are you o.k.?
Didn't anybody ever give a care around your way?
Will you be all right after we go?
Won't you tell me someday oh I'll never know
Hey, Rebecca this is your pilot speaking
and you're about to land.
I hope you got all your answers
and you've come to understand.
That people and things are always going to change
and you can't stop them now,
will you look back and let me know if?
Chorus
Are you alright and are you o.k.?
Didn't anybody ever give a care around your way?
Will you be all right after we go?
Won't you tell me someday oh I'll never know
Oh I'll never know
Oh I'll never know
Oh I'll never know
Hey, Rebecca this is your pilot speaking
and your about to land
Come to understand
Morning comes so full of its own importance,
With a single piece of gold upon its tongue,
To chase away the shadows, so they hide under the
stones
Until the afternoon, when they grow long.
And in the summer morning comes, it comes too early,
When in the winter she will always come too late.
You can’t rely on the morning to awake you,
Because mornings never give, they only take, take,
take.
Summer’s child, you’re prettiest when you’re sober,
With the tide and tatted promise in your mouth
To chase away his demons, so they hide under the
stones,
You only give him so much, then you head for home.
For he will follow like a swallow ever after,
As well you know, for you have planted every seed,
He can’t rely upon your being, there to mid town,
But how long you will be there, you will not concede.
Evening comes and I will not fight the darkness,
For the darkness holds forgetfulness and sleep,
I won’t chase away the shadows if they hide me,
For they hide me for the vigilance she keeps.
And you will not lead a fusty horse to water
Like you will not heat a bagger in the street.
Your only foughts are for yourself,
For your own sanity and health
And while you kick over the traces
You just take, take, take.
And you, oh, you break me every day
And your heart is a heart stone at my heal.
Oh, Rebecca cease to be, oh, cease your torturing of
Oh, cease your endless tries and troubling of my brain.
It's been awhile since I spoke like a human
Haven't seen you in over half of a decade and havent't talked since I moved
In the home town harmony's telling me you've been bad
Grieving over the fact that you're losing your baby's dad
But it's not just that, you're farther into the crack
Heard you're walking a track and marching into the trash
Fuck praying, 'cause I've been silent for years
I'm sick of trying to be a man about it; Hiding my tears
And fuck the judgment, I've got a messed up past
But when asked or confronted, imma shut down fast
And the truth is, girl I cry when I think of you
And write a million songs that imma never get to sing with you
Talk about the places imma never get to bring you to
Show you what it's like to build a life and learn a thing or two
What hurts me is that I love you, 'cause you're my older sister
The only girl that I can rock with
Mum shut's down when I ask and dad's so sad
That I don't know if he's ever gonna get past it
And really, I'm finding it hard for me to manage
Any close relationships without the fear of vanishing
All of this has been hard, I ain't denying it
I'm writing down this song as a product of my environment
So listen, they say that family is everything
It's more than just a house, two dogs and a wedding ring
It's blossoming life and standing up to anything
Trying to take the people that you love to what it's meant to be
Yeah, so then where'd you go?
Prisoner in your body quarantined from your soul
And I know those drugs got you out in the cold
Got you spitting in the mouth of those showing you hope
So if you'd ever come through to your senses
Rebecca, you hopeless cause, you dirty dog
Are you so content to be left out in the cold?
Oh but all this fuss over such a little thing
It's all too much, it's all too much for you to take
Rebecca, you think it's easier to just blend in and fade
away
But what it takes is to know how much you're worth
And raise the stakes and someday you might come in first
And Rebecca, I've got some advice
You wont get far by being too nice
The more you give, the more they'll take
So take it all and spit it in their face
But all this fuss over such a little thing
It's all too much, it's all too much for you to take
But you'll be there when the rest all burn away
