Testo Pinball Machine - The Fall
Testo della canzone Pinball Machine (The Fall), tratta dall'album Seminal Live
I'm an old road hog, I drove a big truck
Shot the pinball machine, but it brought me bad luck
If oceans was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive into it and never come up
I wish they'd outlaw them old pinball machines
Many weeks they have caused me to live on sardines
Last time I called my wife on the phone
The first thing she said was "John, can you come home?
I've got a lot of lodgers and they've got to go,"
Said "I'll see you when I get back from the depot."
She said "John, you know I love you, I wish you wouldn't go
Send your babies some money, they're hungry and cold,"
The last thing she said and then she hung up
"Johnny gave up my loving to drive an old truck."
I made my trip up to the depot
I was gone two months 'cause I shut up my door
When I got home, my family was gone
The best friend I had rung my telephone
He said "John, I guess you wonder about your babies and wife
Pneumonia got your babies and your wife took her life
I've lost all my friends, can't sleep for bad dreams
I dream about an old truck and a pinball machine."
I never will forget the last words that old man said
"Oh Lord, if I could live my life over," and then he fell dead
A victim of an old truck
He was a clean cut young man, the age of nineteen
But now he's in his grave
A victim of an old truck and a pinball machine
