Testo di Sinking Ships

I don't want to talk to you and you don't want to talk to me So I'll shut my eyes and think of England while I speak You don't want my photograph and I don't want to know your name You say we look the same like everybody else Maybe that's 'cos we like to keep ourselves to ourselves But you want something different, you want something false You want your opinion to always be involved That won't last at all, no that's not natural If you should change your colours or you should change your mind I won't go holding grudges I let sleeping dogs lie Oh how you'd love it if we had disappeared along the horizon, Going down like sinking ships in the nighttime, But no one came to save our souls, No one came to fix the holes, But we made it back to land, So if you've backed the underdog, You may collect your winnings, If you could see in colours If you should change your mind, I won't go holding grudges, I let sleeping dogs lie Oh but by the same token, I cannot forget, How you hanged your own quarter, Those you don't respect, So I will not pretend, You and i want to be friends, 'cos we both know that that would be a lie.
