Hope Road - Anne Clark (阿内·克拉克)[00:00:00]
So these are circumstances[00:01:02]
Leading to my sorry tale[00:01:03]
I was in a town I didn't know[00:01:05]
I'd arrieved there by rail[00:01:07]
It all began a week befere[00:01:09]
The joys of Saturday night[00:01:11]
An invite to a party[00:01:13]
Or watching the price is right[00:01:15]
Opting for a soiree[00:01:18]
For the first time in a year[00:01:19]
Mixed badly with the revellers[00:01:21]
Mixed Bacardi wine and beer[00:01:23]
The room moved back and forwards[00:01:25]
The dancers did the same[00:01:27]
Found refuge in a corner[00:01:30]
That's when he asked my name[00:01:31]
Well this is very nice I thought[00:01:46]
Smiling through the haze[00:01:48]
As we talked of auguste rodin[00:01:50]
Through to Harold Pinter's plays[00:01:51]
Said he played piano[00:01:54]
Said his name was Steve[00:01:56]
Why shouldn't I believe[00:02:00]
That he really lived so far away[00:02:02]
Had to make a move for home[00:02:04]
Scribbled down his address[00:02:06]
Said he didn't have a phone[00:02:08]
Would I like to come to dinner[00:02:10]
On Friday of next week[00:02:12]
To this I said I'd love to[00:02:14]
As he kissed me on the cheek[00:02:16]
That night I felt so happy[00:02:30]
Excited through and through[00:02:32]
See the company of strangers[00:02:34]
Doesn't always leave you blue[00:02:36]
Stumbled home contented[00:02:38]
Like a cat that got the cream[00:02:40]
Wake up a little weary[00:02:42]
But I knew it was no dream[00:02:44]
The next few days were auyiouns[00:02:46]
What could I find towaer[00:02:48]
What happens if I arrive[00:02:50]
And there is no hope road there[00:02:52]
My friend said don't ba silly[00:02:54]
No one does things like that[00:02:56]
Now will you get a move on[00:02:58]
And take off that stupid hat[00:03:00]
Made sure I set out early[00:03:14]
Made sure I caught the train[00:03:16]
Got out at the right station[00:03:18]
Then of course came down the rain[00:03:20]
Followed the directions[00:03:22]
Excactly as he said[00:03:24]
Asked people if they new hope road[00:03:26]
But they just walked on ahead[00:03:28]
I turned left at the junction[00:03:30]
Took the fork off to the right[00:03:32]
Straight over at the crossroads[00:03:34]
Then down to the traffic lights[00:03:36]
Must have walked those streets for hours[00:03:38]
In the dark and in the cold[00:03:40]
Before I really could accept[00:03:42]
There was no place called hope road[00:03:45]
So here I am alone again[00:03:59]
Indoors by myself[00:04:01]
The TV plants books and I[00:04:03]
All nearly on the shelf[00:04:05]
Next time I'll be more cautions[00:04:07]
Next time I won't be fooled[00:04:09]
It's another of those basic things[00:04:11]
You're never taught at school[00:04:13]
Let this be a warning[00:04:15]
As you wander through the world[00:04:17]
It makes no difference who you are[00:04:19]
Be you boy or be you girl[00:04:21]
Be very very careful[00:04:23]
When people seems so nice[00:04:25]
It's not how that it's expensive[00:04:27]
Later on you pay the price[00:04:29]
There's no hope road[00:04:33]
