Testo There But For The Grace Of God Go I - Kid Creole And The Coconuts
Testo della canzone There But For The Grace Of God Go I (Kid Creole And The Coconuts), tratta dall'album Off The Coast Of Me (Remastered)
Carlo and Carmelita
They just had a child
A lovely girl with a crooked smile
Now they gotta split
'Cause the room's too big
For a kid to grow up in
Let's find a place that's safe
Somewhere far away
With no plaques and no Jews and no gays
But for the grace of God
There go I, I, I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Mama and the family
Left the dirty streets
To find a quiet place overseas
And year after year
The kid has to hear
The do's, the don'ts and the dares
And when she's ten years old
She digs that rock and roll
But papa bans her from the hall
But for the grace of God
There go I, I, I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I, I, I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Pretty she turns out to be
A natural freak
Gaining weight and losing sleep
And when she's sweet sixteen
She packs her things and leaves
For a man she met on the street
And Carmen starts to bawl
With her head to the wall
Too much love is worse than none at all
But for the grace of God
There go I, I, I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I, I, I
There but for the grace of God
There go I, I, I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I, I, I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I
There but for the grace of God
There go I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I
There but for the grace of God
There go I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I
There but for the grace of God
There go I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I
There but for the grace of God
There go I
There but for the grace of God
Oh go I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
