Píseň: Fill Her Up

Interpret:
Sting
Album:
Brand New Day
Mobil station where I stand
This old gas pump in my hand
The boss don't like me, got a face like a weasel
Oil on my hand and the smell of diesel


Here comes a big shot from the city
V8 engine, she runs so pretty
'Fill her up son, unleaded
I need a full tank of gas where I'm headed'


Up in the front seat a pretty red head
"We're going to Vegas we're gonna get wed
So fill her up son, don't be staring
That's a real diamond she be wearing"


I'm gonna take my baby one day
I'm gonna fill her up and head west
I'm gonna find some money all right


See those tail lights heading west
I got no money to invest
Got no prospects, no education
I was lucky getting a job at this gas station


That old cash box on the top shelf
The boss is sleeping, I'll just help myself
Let's consider this, as just a loan
I can sort it out later on the phone


I'm gonna pick up my girl tonight
I'm gonna fill her up and head west
I'm gonna show her all the bright lights
We're gonna say we lived 'for we come home


And as I head through the woods on the way back
The evening sun is slanting through the pine trees real pretty
It's like I walked into a glade of heaven
And there's music playing
This money is cold in my hand
And a voice somewhere is saying
'Why would you wanna take that stolen thing
And what real happiness can it bring?'


You're gonna fill her up with sadness
You're gonna fill her up with shame
You're gonna fill her up with sorrow
Before she even takes your name
You're gonna fill her up with madness
You're gonna fill her up with blame
You're gonna live with no tomorrow
You're gonna fill her up with pain
You're gonna fill her up with darkness
You're gonna fill her up with night
You gotta fill her up with Jesus
You gotta fill her up with light


You gotta fill her up with spirit
You gotta fill her up with grace
You gotta fill her up with heaven
You got the rest of life to face


You gotta fill her up the right way
You gotta fill her up with care
You gotta fill her up with babies
You gotta fill her up and swear
You're gonna love that girl forever
You're gonna fill her up for life
You're gonna be a loving husband
She's gonna be your loving wife
You gotta fill her up with gladness
You gotta fill her up with joy
You gotta fill her up with love
You gotta fill her up with love
