I touched no food, no drinks that night - I had been looking in her eyes Like children do, and It doesn’t matter When One Who Used To Be With Her Had caught me in the corridor Had caught and whispered: “Buddy, go It will be better!” And One Who Used To Be With Her Was rough with me like a fucking whore But I remember everything, I wasn’t drinking I was already on the way But then she asked me to stay “Please don’t be hasty and be rude It’s just beginning”. But One Who Used To Be With Her Seems can’t forget me anymore And one’s in autumn About eleven I was just walked with friend of mine They were standing in a line, They were standing in a line, And they were seven I had a knife Let’s get some keyif Hey, bastards, come and get my life I’m here, take me! I’m here, take me! I thought: “Why should I die in vain?” And so I must to did them pain And so I must to did them pain Because I had to But One Who Used To Be With Her He knows what he did it for He wants be forward Be always forward Someone had jumped and hanged my neck My buddy cries me "Watch your back!" My buddy cries me "Watch your back!" But all were over I can’t recall it very well Just chilly hospital in jail And me on table Bloodless and naked Dock cut me left Dock cut me right He told me: “Bro, hold on and fight!” He told me: “Bro, hold on and fight!” And so I held on Next month they’re gonna let me go She doesn’t wait me anymore But I forgive her I’ll never hate her It was so many years ago Yet One Who Used To Be With Her I can’t forget I’m gonna get I’ll catch him later But anytime and any place I’m wanna meet him face to face I’m gonna get him any case I’ll catch him later!
