Town With No Cheer (Tom Waits)

 

Well, it's hotter than blazes, and all the long faces

There'll be no oasis for a dry local grazier

There'll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo

From Melbourne to Adelaide on the Overlander

With newfangled buffet cars and faster locomotives

The train stopped in Serviceton less and less often

Serviceton, Victoria

 

No, there's nothing sadder than a town with no cheer

Vic Rail decided the canteen was no longer necessary there

No spirits, no bilgewater, and eighty dry locals

And the high noon sun beats a hundred and four

There's a hummingbird trapped in a closed down shoe store

This tiny Victorian rhubarb kept the waterin' hole open for sixty-five years

 

Now it's boilin' in a miserable March twenty-first

Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Paterson's curse

The train smokes down the xylophone, there'll be no stoppin' here

All you can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer

 

No Bourbon, no branchwater

Though the townspeople here fought her Vic Rail decree tooth and nail

Now it's boilin' in a miserable March twenty-first

Wrapped the hills in a blanket of Paterson's curse

The train smokes down the xylophone, there'll be no stoppin' here

All you can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer

Πήραν τ' Ανάπλι, πήραν το, πήραν το Γαλαξίδι
το κάστρο της Μονεμβασιάς, τον ανθισμένο δρόμο

Κι όπου δρομάκι ερημιά κι όπου καημός αηδόνι
κι όπου εκκλησιά μια Παναγιά κι αγρύπνια το λυχνάρι.
Κι όπου 'ναι αγαπητικιά, φυτρώνει κυπαρίσσι
κι όπου 'ναι εκείνος που πονά, μαλαματένια βρύση.

Πήραν τ' Ανάπλι, πήραν το, πήραν το Γαλαξίδι
το κάστρο της Μονεμβασιάς, το μυρωμένο δρόμο
