You got the lights on in the afternoon And the nights are drawn out long And you're kissing to cut through the gloom With a cough-drop-coloured tongue And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high And I thought you might be mine In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night In the right place and time When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste And your knee socks Well you cured my January blues Yeah you made it all alright I got a feeling I might have lit the very fuse That you were trying not to light You were a stranger in my phone book I was acting like I knew 'Cause I had nothing to lose When the winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true Ain't it funny what you'll do When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste And your knee socks The late afternoon The ghost in your room that you always thought didn't approve of you knocking boots Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot by the scruff of your Knee socks You and me could have been a team Each had a half of a king and queen seat Like the beginning of Mean Streets You could Be My Baby (All the zeros lined up but the number's blocked when you've come undone) When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste And your knee socks
I remember being in like 4th grade, returning from a school trip and while on the bus I tuned in on the radio and it was this song. I began recording it so I could find it later. Until I did I'd replay the part I managed to record again and again which was from part 1:51 to 2:44
TRADUZIONE TESTO IN ITALIANO: You got the lights on in the afternoon Tieni le luci accese il pomeriggio And the nights are drawn out long E le notti durano molto più al lungo And you're kissin' to cut through the gloom E stai dando baci per cercare di aprirti un varco nell'oscurità With a cough drop coloured tongue Con una lingua colorata di sciroppo per la tosse And you were sittin' in the corner with the coats all piled high Ed eri seduta nell'angolo insieme ai cappotti accatastati And I thought you might be mine E ho pensato che saresti potuta essere mia In a small world, on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night In un piccolo mondo, in un' inconsueta notte piovosa di martedì In the right place and time Al posto giusto, nel momento giusto. When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock Quando gli zero si sono allineati sull'orologio formato 24 ore When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked Quando sai chi sta chiamando anche se il numero è sconosciuto When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste Quando giri per casa indossando la mia Lacoste blu cielo And your knee socks E le tue calze al ginocchio Well, you cured my January blues Beh, hai curato la mia malinconia di gennaio Yeah, you made it all alright Sì, hai sistemato tutto I've got a feelin' I might have lit the very fuse E ho la sensazione di aver acceso lo stesso fusibile That you were tryin' not to light Che stavi tentando di non accendere You were a stranger in my phonebook I was actin' like I knew Eri una sconosciuta nei miei contatti che fingevo di conoscere 'Cause I had nothin' to lose Perché non avevo niente da perdere When the winter's in full swing and Quando l'inverno è nel suo pieno e Your dreams just aren't comin' true E i tuoi sogni proprio non si stanno avverando Ain't it funny what you'll do? Non è divertente quello che farai? When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock Quando gli zero si sono allineati sull'orologio formato 24 ore When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked Quando sai chi sta chiamando anche se il numero è sconosciuto When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste Quando giri per casa indossando la mia Lacoste blu cielo And your knee socks E le tue calze al ginocchio The late afternoon, the ghost in your room Il tardo pomeriggio, il fantasma nella tua camera That you always thought didn't approve Che hai sempre pensato non approvasse Of you knockin' boots Che ce la spassassimo Never stopped you lettin' me get hold Non ti ha mai impedito di lasciarmi afferrare Of the sweet spot by the scruff of your Quel dolce punto sull'orlo delle tue Knee socks Calze lunghe fino al ginocchio You and me could have been a team Tu ed io saremmo potuti essere una squadra Each had a half of a king and queen seat Ognuno aveva metà di un sedile da re e regina Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets Come all'inizio di Mean Streets You could be my baby Potresti essere la mia piccola You and me could have been a team Tu ed io saremmo potuti essere una squadra Each had a half of a king and queen seat Ognuno aveva metà di un sedile da re e regina Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets Come all'inizio di Mean Streets You could be my baby Potresti essere la mia piccola You and me could have been a team Tu ed io saremmo potuti essere una squadra Each had a half of a king and queen seat Ognuno aveva metà di un sedile da re e regina Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets Come all'inizio di Mean Streets You could be my baby Potresti essere la mia piccola You and me could have been a team Tu ed io saremmo potuti essere una squadra Each had a half of a king and queen seat Ognuno aveva metà di un sedile da re e regina Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets Come all'inizio di Mean Streets You could be my baby Potresti essere la mia piccola When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock Quando gli zero si sono allineati sull'orologio formato 24 ore When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked Quando sai chi sta chiamando anche se il numero è sconosciuto When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste Quando giri per casa indossando la mia Lacoste blu cielo And your knee socks E le tue calze al ginocchio When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock Quando gli zero si sono allineati sull'orologio formato 24 ore When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked Quando sai chi sta chiamando anche se il numero è sconosciuto When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste Quando giri per casa indossando la mia Lacoste blu cielo And your knee socks E le tue calze al ginocchio Knee socks Calze lunghe fino al ginocchio Knee socks Calze lunghe fino al ginocchio
ok, so i think that master alex has a fetish with knee socks and writing lyrics abt a woman being his (ex: i wanna be yours, knee socks, 505, do i wanna know. and its true) . i love it.
This, for me, is kindof a feel-good type of song. I'm actually writing a flash fiction story that somewhat goes along with the song, I'm writing it for a contest :D
