The Almost Man - Allan Taylor (艾伦·泰勒)/Ian Melrose/Hans-Joerg Maucksch/Hrolfur Vagnsson[00:00:00]

As my father lay dying I was holding his hand[00:00:25]

He said [00:00:33]

Someday there's one thing you must understand[00:00:34]

All my life I've been an almost man[00:00:42]

Don't make the same mistake as me[00:00:49]

Cause I've never got to drive a real fast car[00:00:54]

Nor get crazy drunk in a downtown bar[00:01:00]

And I've never even got to go that far[00:01:06]

There was so much I wanted to see[00:01:13]

When he made it back from that terrible war[00:01:21]

Things would going to be[00:01:29]

Different from they'd been before[00:01:30]

'Cause he had a family and a love to live forward[00:01:34]

He got a job and he settled down[00:01:40]

He worked real hard to keep the family tight[00:01:47]

Every day he did what he thought was right[00:01:53]

But he never got ahead and tried as he might[00:01:59]

He was always just breaking even[00:02:05]

And before in your hand it was all too late[00:02:15]

His time had passed and time can't wait[00:02:20]

There're some things in life that you just can't beat[00:02:27]

It's a fight you're never gonna win[00:02:33]

When he died his ashes were sent through the post[00:02:39]

And I thought about what he would have wanted the most[00:02:45]

So I went and bought that real fast car[00:02:51]

And I damned the curse[00:02:55]

Then I struck to meet him we hit the highway[00:02:57]

Hey old man now you know how it feels[00:03:07]

Isn't she just the greatest set of wheels [00:03:14]

She is a bright red beauty of cool polish deal[00:03:19]

We're gonna turn some heads today[00:03:25]

We drove like the wind down to London town[00:03:32]

We got crazy drunk and started falling down[00:03:37]

When a new day broke and we came around[00:03:44]

I took him down to look at the sea[00:03:49]

We stood on Brighton Beach where it all began[00:03:59]

Where my father's son became a man[00:04:05]

And I said to him now you can understand[00:04:11]

What you have meant to me[00:04:18]

'Cause I got you that ride in a real fast car[00:04:24]

We got crazy drunk in a downtown bar[00:04:30]

And we made it together and we've come this far[00:04:36]

And I did it all for you[00:04:42]

So I will take that ride well it's given for free[00:04:50]

I will be the man he always wanted to be[00:04:59]

And if somehow he is looking down on me[00:05:08]

I know he will smile and say you did it well[00:05:14]

Let's take that drive in a real fast car[00:05:21]

Let's get crazy drunk in every downtown bar[00:05:26]

Let's get on the road and follow that golden star[00:05:33]

Take it all the way to the end[00:05:39]

Let's get on the road and follow that golden star[00:05:45]

Take it all the way to the end[00:05:51]
