Net reed ik met mijn autootje door donker Utrecht en toen hoorde ik op Sky dat prachtige nummer van Robbie Williams, 'The Road to Mandalay'. Wist overigens niet dat het van Robbie was, dat zag ik pas toen ik net op internet de tekst opzocht. Ik krijg alleen geen vat op die tekst. Waar zingt die man nou eigenlijk over? Iemand een idee?
The Road To Mandalay
(Robbie Williams)
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There's nothing funny left to say
This sombre song would drain the sun
But it won't shine until it's sung
No water running in the stream
The saddest place we've ever seen
Everything I touched was golden
Everything I loved got broken
On the road to Mandalay
Every mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
There's nothing left for you to give
The truth is all that you're left with
Twenty paces then at dawn
We will die and be reborn
I like to sleep beneath the trees
Have the universe at one with me
Look down the barrel of a gun
And feel the Moon replace the Sun
Everything we've ever stolen
Has been lost returned or broken
No more dragons left to slay
Every mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way
Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There's nothing funny left to say
