Keeping The Curtains Closed
He's been waiting for the bus to come, been waiting there since 3
And when it comes around he will be as happy as a boy can be
But people worry about each other
Some even worry about me
And so he stands at the busstop at the back of the line
And there's too many people and there's not enough time
So now he's keeping the curtains closed
He was waiting for the revolution to rumble down his street
'Coz when it came around
He was sure that we'd all get enough to eat
But at the busstop he's still on that line
And there's too many people and there's not enough time
So he's keeping the curtains closed
And there's no point asking what went wrong
Nothing as far as I can see
He just stood there at the busstop at the back of the line
And there were too many people; there was not enough time
And now he's keeping the curtains closed
He's just keeping the curtains closed
He's just keeping the curtains closed
He's just keeping the curtains closed
Mantendo as Cortinas Fechadas
Ele está esperando o ônibus chegar, esperando ali desde as 3
E quando ele aparecer, vai ficar tão feliz quanto um garoto pode ser
Mas as pessoas se preocupam umas com as outras
Algumas até se preocupam comigo
E assim ele fica parado no ponto de ônibus, lá no final da fila
E tem gente demais e tempo de menos
Então agora ele está mantendo as cortinas fechadas
Ele estava esperando a revolução passar na sua rua
Porque quando ela chegasse
Ele tinha certeza de que todos teríamos o suficiente para comer
Mas no ponto de ônibus ele ainda está naquela fila
E tem gente demais e tempo de menos
Então ele está mantendo as cortinas fechadas
E não adianta perguntar o que deu errado
Nada, pelo que eu posso ver
Ele só ficou ali no ponto de ônibus, lá no final da fila
E tinha gente demais; não havia tempo suficiente
E agora ele está mantendo as cortinas fechadas
Ele só está mantendo as cortinas fechadas
Ele só está mantendo as cortinas fechadas
Ele só está mantendo as cortinas fechadas
