Life and debt


I'm not one to let it go
But I'm under the gun
I am valleys and peaks
We are queens and kings
I see a flickering light
I watch the pendulum swing
My world has been sold
I love you all
Is this the saddest song?
Is this the setting sun or a changing of the guard?
Should I give up my hands?
Should I give up myself?
'tis a labor of love

We are balanced on a disaster
The distance is growing strong and all along
We sang our song
Never understanding this
I can't help with you and you can't help with me
I might belong to the afterglow

So where does all of it go?
Is it all offscreen?
Just add another fold
Just add another ring
Anoth?r day goes by
Another 100 years, but I can’t not try
W? are balanced on a disaster
The distance is growing strong and all along
We sang our song
Never understanding this
I can't help with you and you can't help with me
I might belong to the afterglow

I worship to be safe
Is this the end of the scene?
I found not, the gold
As I hear your words, I find my own
I never lost faith, but I maybe lost hope
I worship to be safe
The future is clearly unclear
It goes from me to you, but not to me from you
I push my heart aside
You're so hard to hold
I disappointed myself and it’s too late to go back
I can't die anonymously
I want a title wave as we balance on a disaster

The distance is growing strong and all along
We sang our song
Never understanding this
I can't help with you and you can't help with me
I might belong to the afterglow
I'll see you again
Maybe next year we'll be better off
And I can shake my hands
Clear as I can
I try to tell you all
But you can’t understand and you might never will
So I’ll just live in this song

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

68 è un album discografico del cantautore britannico Robert Wyatt, pubblicato nel 2013 dalla Cuneiform Records. Le registrazioni risalgono al 1968, dopo il tour americano dei Soft Machine, gruppo di musica rock progressiva con cui Wyatt aveva collaborato in precedenza. L'album presenta una selezione di brani sperimentali e jazzistici che riflettono l'influenza di artisti come John Coltrane e Charles Mingus. Tra i pezzi più noti si annovera "The Ballad of the Sad Young Men", un brano introspettivo con influenze folk. Un particolare interesse risiede nel contributo di Jimi Hendrix al basso in una delle tracce dell'album, rendendolo un documento storico unico della scena musicale americana degli anni '60.
