Here we are then here we are
我们亲密无间
Notes from a suicide
自杀遗言
And he will never ever be
他永远不会
The Greatest Living Englishman
最伟大的英国人
It's such a melancholy blue
多么忧郁的蓝色
Or a grey of no significance
或是一片毫无意义的灰色
Plastic coated surfaces
塑料涂层表面
A space to place his suitcase
一个放行李箱的地方
As it's passed from A to B
从A传递到B
But it's such a melancholy blue
可这忧伤的蓝色
The curtains round the bed are drawn
床边的窗帘拉上了
Broadcast voices from the ward
广播从病房传来的声音
The humming of machines hurt
机器嗡嗡作响令人伤心
But there are distances between
但我们之间有距离
Yes there are distances between
没错我们之间隔着千山万水
His aspirations visited him nightly
他每天晚上都心怀抱负
And amounted to so little
没有什么意义
Too much self in his writing
他的作品太过自我
Now he will never ever be
如今他再也不会
The Greatest Living Englishman

The engine shifts into second gear

They're all aboard accounted for

The black sheep boy is leaving home

It's been rehearsed a thousand times or more

He's well prepared of that he's sure

But still it's such a melancholy blue
可这依然是一种忧郁的蓝色
As he erased a page of history
当他抹去历史的一页
Much as he'd intended to
正如他所愿
He wouldn't speak or show you he was happy
他不愿开口也不愿让你看到他的幸福
Though you'd meet him with your eyes

There was a wall that always stood between you

He'd shut himself outside

And the love that he engendered

Would never be enough
永远都不够
For him to feel alive

Warm and tender
温暖柔情
He'd shut himself outside
他把自己关在外面
Not a fake or a sham

But dug in deep and fighting
可我深陷其中奋力拼搏
The world could not embrace a man

With so much self in his writing
他的作品充满了自我
And he was never gonna be
他永远不会
The Greatest Living Englishman

He had ideas above his station

Minor virtues go unmentioned

Little England you fit like a straightjacket

Hemmed by the genius of others

To conquer the world is not to the trace

Remove even the shadow of the memory of your face

A grey of no significance
