Rosie
lyrics: Shinya Ohe
translation: w_b
Rosie, tell me Rosie
What do you want, tell me Rosie
What do you wanna do
Please tell me Rosie
High on rock'n roll
You want to go completely wild
Engulfed deep in a malaise
You're just intoxicated
(You're high on drugs)*
(You sink into drugs)**
Rosie, tell me Rosie
What do you want, tell me Rosie
What do you gonna do
Please tell me Rosie
When the weekend comes
You'll spend it lost in dance at the local hall
Cruising endlessly
After you've played the cool heroine
(After you've played the using heroine)**
Rosie, tell me Rosie
What do you want, tell me Rosie
What do you wanna do
Please tell me Rosie
Rosie, tell me Rosie
What do you want, tell me Rosie
What do you wanna do
Please tell me Rosie
You want to bask in the bright sunlight
A reggae song in your empty head
Your body still swaying
As you stare dully at the sky
Rosie, tell me Rosie
What do you wanna do
Please tell me Rosie
What do you wanna do
What do you gonna do...
Notes:
* Since I don't own the lyrics, I've picked these lines out from different live versions/covers. This particular line appears in all more or less recent covers of Rosie.
** These two lines come from the following video of a Roosters' live: Rosie.
I don't think I need to write about 'heroine' vs 'heroin'?
