Robbie Williams - If I Only Had a Brain [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I could while away the hours, conferrin’ with the flowers
Consultin’ with the rain
And my head I’d be scratchin’ while
My thoughts were busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain
I’d unravel every riddle for any individ’le
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts you’ll be thinkin’
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean’s near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I’d sit, and think some more
I would not be just a nothin’ my head all full of stuffin’
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain

Heart

When a man’s an empty kettle he should be on his mettle
And yet I’m torn apart
Just because I’m presumin’ that I could be kind-a-human
If I only had heart
I’d be tender – I’d be gentle and awful sentimental
Regarding Love and Art

I’d be friends with the sparrows …
And the boys who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart
Picture me – a balcony. Above a voice sings low
Wherefore art thou, Romeo? I hear a beat…
How sweet
Just to register emotion, jealousy – devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And I’d lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart

The Nerve

Yeh, it’s sad, believe me, Missy
When you’re born to be a sissy
Without the vim and verve
But I could show my prowess, be a lion not a mou-ess
If I only had the nerve
I’m afraid there’s no denyin’ I’m just a dandelion
A fate I don’t deserve
I’d be brave as a blizzard…
I’d be gentle as a lizard…
I’d be clever as a gizzard…
If the Wizard is a Wizard who will serve
Then I’m sure to get a brain, a heart, a home, the nerve!
