John Cale - Villa Albani Lyrics & Traduction


Sweet deal is going down in the Villa Albani
The deal's being discussed behind closed doors
The ink isn't dried on the paper, the conference is better begun
Handshakes have been rung at the Villa Albani


And the tom goes tom and the tom goes tom-tom
And the gun goes gun and the gun goes gun-gun
And the bomb goes bomb and the bomb goes bomb-bomb


Winter's closing in around the Villa Albani
Sitting 'round the fire, getting cold feet
With holy people coming for breakfast at midnight
Blood is in the streets, rumours all over town about the Villa Albani


And the tom goes tom and the tom goes tom-tom
And the gun goes gun and the gun goes gun-gun
And the bomb goes bomb and the bomb goes bomb-bomb


And they're rolling out of debt
Oh, they're rolling up the piers
Rolling up in the ???
You're only feeding the horse of the Villa Albani

Limousines coming and going, helicopters are taking off
People are leaving out the front door, people are leaving out the back
Nobody's answering the phone, nobody's picking up the mail
Nobody's getting the door bell, this is a house of failure
Sweet deal is breaking down at the Villa Albani


And the tom goes tom and the tom goes tom-tom
And the gun goes gun and the gun goes gun-gun
And the bomb goes bomb and the bomb goes bomb-bomb


Happy in the darkest day, happy in the coldest night
When people look out the window to see
What did they see at the Villa Albani?


Rolling up the shutters, they're carrying out the files
To the fire in the backyard, they're burning all the books
They're asking questions in town and they are going home for good
They are going home to care for some limousines and tanks
