lyrics

Friday comes on like an old friend
Who never learned from their mistakes.
And while it’s packed up in pubs and clubs,
the locals find themselves drowning in the depths of these here dives.
And the barkeep says,
“Showbiz kids get too much clout.
They’re bad when they’re coming in,
worse on the way out.”
I said "She’s kinda like the Damned, man,
She’s just feeling sad for her fan club."

I know who you are.
Oh honey, you were one of the dancers.
And I do recall,
You had the whole of Tokyo at your beck and call.
I know who you are.
We made out on the staircase in my gambling days.
(Gambling days are over)
Back when I still thought a yukata was a kimono.
Hey girl, don’t you know?

I see you crying, crying,
Crying all over the bar.

Now she’s getting kind of outta control,
People can hardly even keep their beers down.
Looks like all it takes to make a dreamer break up in the head
Is just some twit with an acoustic guitar.
And the barkeep says,
“Baby, this ain’t no halfway house.
We don’t serve therapy, drink up or get out!”
I said “Hey, cool it man, wasn’t too long ago,
She was the star of the rock n roll show, don’t you know!?”

I know who you are.
Oh honey, you were one of the dancers.
And I do recall,
You had the whole of Tokyo at your beck and call.
I know who you are.
We made out on the staircase in my gambling days.
(Gambling days are over)
Back when I still thought a yukata was a kimono.
Hey girl, don’t you know?

I see you crying, crying,
Crying all over the bar.

Girl, I know how it feels to sit home on a Saturday night.
You start thinking 'bout how lately nothing’s been going right.
'bout how your life is a wreck, and how some day you’ll die,
So you go and get loaded but still you start to cry.
All over the bar, in your Tequila Sunrise,
All over the DJ, the band, and the guy
who’s got you loaded in the backseat of a taxi cab.
Oh, but at least he was pretty cool about picking up your tab.
But when you finally get back and your head feels straight
You gotta drag yourself to work, so now you gotta wait
Through those five damn days to the next weekend
So you can do it all over again.

I know who you are.
Oh honey, you were one of the dancers.
And I do recall,
You had the whole of Tokyo at your beck and call.
I know who you are.
We made out on the staircase in my gambling days.
(Gambling days are over)
Back when I still thought you...
Back when I still thought you...
Back when I still thought that you were gonna be mine.

I see you crying, crying,
Crying all over the bar.


金曜日って懐かしい友達みたいなんだ
馬鹿につける薬はないってさ
まぁ大体がパブとかクラブでの事だけどさ
地元の奴らはこんな場末の酒場に入り浸るんだ
バーのマスターはこう言った
「近頃のショービジネスではガキ共が甘やかされ過ぎてんだ
売れてる時はただのクソガキ、落ち目になると手が付けらんねーな」
俺はマスターにこう言った
「あの娘はさ、【The Damned】みたいなもんなんだよ
ただ取り巻き達にうんざりしてんだよ」

俺は本当の君を知ってるよ

ハニー,君はダンサーだったろ
俺は覚えてるよ
東京中が君にはまってたね
俺は本当の君を知ってるよ
俺たちはスリルの中で愛し合ったね
(冒険はもう終わったんだ)
浴衣と着物の区別さえつかなかった無知な頃の話さ
Heyガール、知らないでしょう?

君は泣いてる、叫んでる、バーには悲哀が溢れ出す

今あの娘は自分でも手が付けられないんだ
みんな飲む気を無くしちゃったよ
ここの空気を変えるには馬鹿どもとアコースティックギターしかないさ
バーのマスターはこう言った
「ベイビー、ここは厚生施設じゃないんだ
同情はやらないよ、さっさと飲んで出て行きな」
俺はマスターにこう言った
「まぁ落ち着けって、そんな昔の事じゃないぜ
あの娘がロックンロールスターだったの、知らないの?」

土曜の夜に家でじっとしてなきゃいけないなんてキツイよな
最近すべてがうまくいかないって思ってるんだろ
人生はボロボロで、いつか死ぬだろうって
だから出かけちゃ飲んで酔っ払うけど、涙はこぼれる
君の涙はバーに溢れ、テキーラサンライズの中に落ち、
DJやバンドの音が溢れていても、ナンパする野郎がいたとしてもさ
少なくともそいつは君の勘定を払ってくれたぜ
ようやく家に帰って真面になっても
君は足を引きずり仕事に行かなきゃならないんだ
次の週末のためにうんざりする5日間をやり過ごす
ただそれの繰り返しさ

俺は本当の君を知ってるよ
ハニー,君はダンサーだったろ
俺は覚えてるよ
東京中が君にはまってたね
俺は本当の君を知ってるよ
俺たちはスリルの中で愛し合ったね
(冒険はもう終わったんだ)
君が俺のものなるって信じてた頃の昔の話さ

君は泣いてる、叫んでる、バーには悲哀が溢れ出す
