He sank into their calculations He sank into their calculations Ele afundou em seus cálculos And snorted on the stench And snorted on the stench E bufou sobre o mau cheiro Of their arithmetic Of their arithmetic De sua aritmética Looked for the boy who was hanging his head low Looked for the boy who was hanging his head low Olhou para o garoto que estava pendurado de cabeça baixa More trophies than ideas More trophies than ideas Mais troféus do que idéias To follow their pretence To follow their pretence Para acompanhar a sua pretensão With a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face With a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face Com uma carranca no bolso e um sorriso no rosto He followed with obidience He followed with obidience Ele seguiu com a obediência And fell in the nettles And fell in the nettles E caiu nas provocações Afterwards those spikey whispers Afterwards those spikey whispers Mais tarde esses sussurros spikey Said he bought his own rope Said he bought his own rope Ele disse que comprou sua própria corda And skipped the bits they loathed And skipped the bits they loathed E ignorou o pedaço que detestou Didn't scramble to find a dock leaf Didn't scramble to find a dock leaf Não se esforçou para encontrar uma folha nas docas To capture back our hope To capture back our hope Para capturar de volta a nossa esperança To advice his mind had closed To advice his mind had closed Para o conselho de sua mente esta fechado He lost all of his footholes He lost all of his footholes Ele perdeu todos os seus Pés esburacados And with a scowl in his pocket And with a scowl in his pocket E com uma carranca no bolso And a smile on his face And a smile on his face E um sorriso no rosto He followed with obedience and fell in the nettles He followed with obedience and fell in the nettles Ele seguiu com a obediência e caiu nas provocações, Fell in the nettles, fell in the nettles Fell in the nettles, fell in the nettles Caiu nas provocações, caiu nas provocações He was a toothpick He was a toothpick Ele era um palito de dentes And the garlic and the cinder upon the path And the garlic and the cinder upon the path E o alho e a cinza no caminho Had failed to blunt or hinder the slow collapse Had failed to blunt or hinder the slow collapse Não tinha conseguido neutralizar ou impedir o colapso lento Clinging to the doorframe he was dragged Clinging to the doorframe he was dragged Apegando-se ao batente da porta, ele foi arrastado Off to a reminder of where he had been Off to a reminder of where he had been Fora de um lembrete de onde tinha sido And with a smile in his pocket And with a smile in his pocket E com um sorriso no bolso And a scowl on his face And a scowl on his face E uma carranca no rosto There was nowhere to flee There was nowhere to flee Não havia para onde fugir So sat content in the nettles So sat content in the nettles Então, sentou-se no conteúdo das provocações
