Fool's Garden - Lemon Tree

Fool's Garden - Lemon Tree to mój ulubiony utwór z lat szkolnych, jest moim ulubionym jeszcze dzisiaj. Zapomniałam go tylko na kilka lat, gdyż jedyne momenty kiedy mogłam go słuchać były wtedy, gdy nadawali go w radiu.

And when it gets you down

when you miss some solid ground

And everything is grey

You only have to be

Yourself and you will see

That you don´t feel the cold.

Ponieważ nie znałam nazwy zespołu, to nie mogłam też kupić kasety czy płyty. Od pewnego czasu zaczęłam go jednak słuchać z magnetofonu, gdy udało nagrać mi się go z radia. To moje nagranie było bardzo kiepskiej jakości i urywane, ale ... ileż razy ja go słuchałam! Były dni, kiedy Lemon Tree rozbrzmiewało w moim pokoju po dwadzieścia, trzydzieści razy "pod rząd". Zespół grał a ja uczyłam się słów na pamięć. Przy nim usypiałam. Gdy go słucham, słuchałam, bo dotyczy to zarówno czasu przeszłego jak i teraźniejszego, to czuję, że jest o mnie.

I'm driving around in my car

I'm driving too fast

I'm driving too far

I'd like to change my point of view

I feel so lonely

I'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

Kiedyś usłyszałam opinię, że Lemon Tree jest jedynym udanym utworem Fool's Garden, teraz słuchając ich muzyki na YouTube wiem, że nie jest to prawdziwe zdanie. Okazuje się nawet, że znałam, w znaczeniu "słyszałam", o wiele więcej ich utworów, więcej niż mi się to wydawało, m.in. takie jak: Rainy day, Probably, Dreaming czy Cold with lyrics. 

It's a rainy day, a rainy day
But i love it
It's a rainy day
The water comes down
But i love you.

LEMON TREE

I'm sitting here in the boring room

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon

I'm wasting my time

I got nothing to do

I'm hanging around

I'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car

I'm driving too fast

I'm driving too far

I'd like to change my point of view

I feel so lonely

I'm waiting for you

But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

I'm turning my head up and down

I'm turning turning turning turning turning around

And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here

I miss the power

I'd like to go out taking a shower

But there's a heavy cloud inside my head

I feel so tired

Put myself into bed

Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me

Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy

Baby anyhow I'll get another toy

And everything will happen and you wonder

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm turning my head up and down

I'm turning turning turning turning turning around

And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree

And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how

I wonder why

Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky

And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see

Is just a yellow lemon-tree

PROBABLY

Dan is drinking coffee

Mary's drinking tea

Betty's having breakfast

In the plastic surgery

Some say she's a beauty

Some may say she's mad

But she doesn't care what people say

And dyes her red hair black

You don't know what they will say

You probably've to do it

your own way

You don't know what they will see

Absolutely nothing! -probably...

Tom is vegetarian

A little fool they say

His father wants to change his mind

He's trying every day

Anne is loving women

Fred is loving men

And everybody shakes their head

Cause no one understands

You don't know...

In the corner plays a gypsy girl

With indians and with jews

Penny sings along with them

Though she wears different shoes

You don't know...

You don't know what they will do

No one ever knows, you don't know too

You don't know what they will say

You probably don't need another way
