Letra da Música Haricot Bean and Bill de The Pearlfishers

haricot bean and bill /
grew up on a wintry hill /
where they lived among the bears and outlaws /
protected by a statue of jesus /
who wept upon a world that stretched ahead /
oceans full of cities and cars /
policemen guarding piles of money /
looked out every night, never left the hill /
life is kinda sad and funny /
haricot bean and bill /
kept on gazing out until /
they really couldn't take it much longer /
stole some plastic cups and shortbread /
tripped along a river and crossed the bridge /
alleys full of waiters and stars /
mazey streets, hazy faces /
set back every night, never found the hill /
life is kinda sad and funny /
we were young, we were stupid /
we were brave, in our way /
we were precious, we were standing /
when the other boys had flown away /
kinda sad, kinda funny /
kinda sweet, in our way /
thought we'd always be outrageous /
thought there'd always be another day /
they found us on the chapel steps /
the bears and outlaws come to claim their own /
we left the city, climbed the hill /
the moon was still, the river frozen over /
but things were never quite the same /
we knew the secrets of the policemen /
and every night we braved the rain /
to gaze on streets we knew we couldn't walk again
