Testi di She Was Tall, She Was High - The Pretty Things

She Was Tall, She Was High (originale)

And as she weaves her way, through city streets
The dawn arrives
In concrete glades of metal grass
Steel cords are woven tight
But she is free, F… R…double E
She was tall, She was high
Lord she almost touched the sky
Today, I said today
She was tall, she was high
Lord she almost made me cry
Today, she spends her time
Beside grey lakes of lead she’s harnessed to
A kneeling form
Before the storm subsides, she’s flown
And leaves the body torn
But she is free, F… R…double E
She was tall, she was high …

(traduzione)

E mentre si fa strada, per le strade della città
L'alba arriva
In radure di cemento di erba metallica
I cavi d'acciaio sono intrecciati strettamente
Ma lei è libera, F... R... doppia E
Era alta, era alta
Signore, ha quasi toccato il cielo
Oggi, ho detto oggi
Era alta, era alta
Signore, mi ha quasi fatto piangere
Oggi passa il suo tempo
Accanto ai grigi laghi di piombo a cui è imbrigliata
Una forma inginocchiata
Prima che la tempesta si plachi, è volata
E lascia il corpo lacerato
Ma lei è libera, F... R... doppia E
Era alta, era alta...
