Wished It (Human League)


Language: Italian

And I'm employed again. Mostly. Nothing official yet, but it looks like I'm going to be working for my previous boss, in a different location. Not cocktail waitressing (cocktail waitresses make better money), but a job nevertheless, so I can maybe slow down the skid into debt and abject poverty I've been doing.

I've seen someone on-line say that they think "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar / When I met you" is possibly the best opening lyrics of any pop song ever. I agree sometimes.

-Jessi

Like a waitress in a cocktail bar, you weren't working
when I came to contact
you. I've selected you from outside.
I've churned them to, in, and on you, and turned you around to
transform you into someone new. The hour
I'll get the world to your feet happens five years later.
Therefore, it's been easy for you,
but he's forgotten that hour. Where is that? That's not me.
He puts them behind, and can drain them also.

Not, not wished for it?
You know I can't believe it when I see that you won't feel it.
Not, you don't wish it?
You know that when you say that, you don't have a lot of needs.
Much of the creed is delayed, too.
In order to find it, in order to think, an idea would improve them.
The changes behind it have not changed, or else you want both.

The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.
The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.

I was working like a waitress in a cocktail bar:
that's a lot to align.
I knew I'd find the best place, but then I'd have a uniform.
With or without you, five years of periods.
We have had to be so good and calm, but my task to love.
You've lived your life on my time; the fortune teller was right.
Who must own me in that hour?

The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.
The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.

The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.
The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.

The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.
The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.

The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.
The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.

The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.
The child's not to wish it? Oh, it's not to be wished.
