Soultime
When I was a boy I never felt the weight I'm feeling
I had a crowd around me and that was that
I'd get on the bus and go to the ata every weekend
and feel the ultraviolet show the fluff up on my collar
They'd play Otis Redding Sam and Dave and Wilson picket
prince buster the skatalites
and bees would be buzzing their horns
the boys would dance like robots
the girls would walk a fashionable slink
now here we are one or two scars
trying to recall the way it was
but now I know where I am coming from
soultime I'm in soultime
We never tried to change the world it didn't need changing
we were the in crowd and that was that
graduating from a lambretta to a triumph herald car
was the only future in site and that was that
One night there was a rumble and I got head butted yeah
but those boys could not take that girl away from me
I took a handkerchief and wiped the blood away from my nose
and got right back on the dance floor and that was that
now here we are one or two scars
trying to recall the way it was
but now I know where I am coming from
soultime I'm in soultime
Tempo de Alma
Quando eu era garoto, nunca senti o peso que sinto
Tinha uma galera ao meu redor e era isso
Eu pegava o ônibus e ia pra festa todo fim de semana
E sentia o ultravioleta mostrando a pelagem no meu colarinho
Eles tocavam Otis Redding, Sam e Dave e Wilson Pickett
Prince Buster, os Skatalites
E as abelhas zumbindo com seus instrumentos
Os caras dançavam como robôs
As garotas desfilavam com um jeito estiloso
Agora aqui estamos, uma ou duas cicatrizes
Tentando lembrar como era
Mas agora eu sei de onde venho
Tempo de alma, estou em tempo de alma
Nunca tentamos mudar o mundo, ele não precisava de mudanças
Éramos a galera e era isso
Graduar de uma lambretta para um carro Triumph Herald
Era o único futuro à vista e era isso
Uma noite rolou uma briga e eu levei uma cabeçada, é
Mas aqueles caras não podiam tirar aquela garota de mim
Peguei um lenço e limpei o sangue do meu nariz
E voltei direto pra pista de dança e era isso
Agora aqui estamos, uma ou duas cicatrizes
Tentando lembrar como era
Mas agora eu sei de onde venho
Tempo de alma, estou em tempo de alma
