Вступление
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
here's a guy i'll never know because he's dead.
and his name was Burton Holmes and now he's dead.
and he traveled round the world, making videos,
and he sold them at his shows and now he's dead.
[Chorus]
and with a camera in my hand
i tried making videos
and i walked down to the bus stop
and gave traveling a go.
i saw London in the sun,
i saw Bristol in the snow,
and i saw my pockets empty
and i had to go back home.
[Verse 2]
and lately i have hated every video i've made
and traveling on holidays just doesn't feel the same
and i've been thinking of just setting off
and getting on a plane
to L.A. California to find Burton Holmes' grave.
[Chorus]
and standing on his skeleton and looking at his stone
i'll see he lived for almost 80 years
nc
while i'm just 21.
so i guess it doesn't matter that i'm still getting things wrong,
cuz really i'm still growing up
and the best is yet to come.
[Outro]
it doesn't matter that Burton Holmes' dead,
cuz others carry on for him instead.'
people still play shows,
and make videos,
and they still travel round the world
and they're not dead...
