Lyrics
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
Envious of the glimmer of hope
– Il successo causa invidia
Gives me a break from feeling alone
– Am ante me vel am o si occurrit
Gives me a moment out of the ego
– Et quidem ut tempore ut ego
I used to feel so invincible
– Ego sentire solebat, ut invicta
I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin’ of
– Ego autem sentio erat mundus dignum dreamin ‘ de
Back in the Gasworks, screamin’ the song
– Ritorno alla pagina iniziale: “regola del maestro”
Just the beauty of youth would quell my aching heart
– Iustus pulchritudo iuventutis dolorem meum cor sedaret
Oh, I feel so dark rememberin’
– O, quae tam obscura recordabor’
Oh, my heart, I feel so dark rememberin’
– O cor meum, sentio tam obscura recordabor’
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin’
– Omnes in antliam condemnato, runnin’
Under the billboards, out of the heat
– Sub billboards, extra calorem
Somebody’s darling’s on the street tonight
– Aliquis deliciae in platea hac nocte
Oh, I can’t stop runnin’
– Non possum non prohibere runnin’
I see the whole town fall
– Videbo urbs tota ruinam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
(Ooh-ooh)
– (Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
– (Ooh, ooh)
I came back home after seven years
– Et veni in domum suam post septem annis
Wide awake, tracing tracks of her tears
– Lata expergiscimini, vestigia lacrimarum eius repetens
Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it
– Nutricem anguli ad summam eius
I promised her I’d get her out of the care home
– Ego youd ‘ adepto eam promisit eam de cura in domum suam
The place was fallin’ to bits
– Locus erat fallin ad frenos
Understaffed and overruled by callous hands
– Qui revelat profunda de tenebris: aperiendo prophetias.
The poor nurse was around the clock
– Pauper nutrix erat circa horologium
And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart
– Et pulchritudo iuventutis reliquisset cor meum fractionis
But it wasn’t hard when you love someone
– Sed non erat difficile cum aliquem amas
Oh, I stayed all night till you left this life ’cause that’s just love
– O ego mansit tota nocte usque ad sinistram hanc vitam ‘ causa est quia amor est
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin’
– Omnes in antliam condemnato, runnin’
Under the billboards, out of the heat
– Sub billboards, extra calorem
Somebody’s darling’s on the street tonight
– Aliquis deliciae in platea hac nocte
Oh, I can’t stop runnin’
– Non possum non prohibere runnin’
I see the whole town fall
– Videbo urbs tota ruinam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
Above the rain-soaked Garden of Remembrance
– Et revera sine calore nihil nascitur, adeo ut De Septentrione [poeta] dicat (lucan
Kittywakes etched your initials in the sky
– Kittywakes haeret tuum initials in caelo
Oh, I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the times
– Molestiae esse nisi et molestias temporibus
And I’ll hold you in my heart till the day I die
– Et tenebo te in corde meo usque in diem moriar
Oh
– O
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin’
– Omnes in antliam condemnato, runnin’
Under the billboards, out of the heat
– Sub billboards, extra calorem
Somebody’s darling’s on the street tonight
– Aliquis deliciae in platea hac nocte
Oh, I can’t stop runnin’
– Non possum non prohibere runnin’
I see the whole town fall
– Videbo urbs tota ruinam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam

– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
I people-watch on the way back home
– Ego populus-vigilate in via reversus in domum suam
(Ooh-ooh)
– (Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
– (Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
– (Ooh-ooh)
