falls jemand Jüngeres das vertonen mag: statt "wife" geht natürlich auch "girl", wobei die ersten Strophen, um überzeugend zu sein, ein Alter erfordern, wo man Job und eigenen Hausstand hat. (Den ganz Jungen empfehle ich mein "won't get old" oder auch "passage"). Hier mein jüngstes "Kind", "burned out":
the bread is stale, the butter smelly, my stomach would revolt
I am worried that yet again my car could strike or bolt
the phone is ringing, the coffee cold, time is running low
I grab my coat, I slam the door, still I will be too slow
my office lies in ruins just as I left it yesterday
the boss wants to see me - I am right on my way
knowing I have failed again I expect nothing good
he is at a loss of words - I say I've understood
so it comes as expected
now I have hit the wall
feeling tired and dejected
I put up with my fall
there's nothing left to do
but take it lying down
waiting for the moment
that you will finally drown
my wife left me the other day as I had feared she would
I'd been tense and I'd been tetchy, I had been no good
she said I need not bother, she would stay with her mom
although I'd seen it coming it hit me like a bomb
so it comes as expected
now I have hit the wall
feeling tired and dejected
I put up with my fall
there's nothing left to do
but take it lying down
waiting for the moment
that you will finally drown
