Songteksten
There were two old middle aged men
And they were sitting in the corner bar
They were lying about what
Wonderful lovers they are
Bending each other’s ear
They were bending their elbows too
And they were holding their arms apart
Just the way fishermen do, singing
You should have seen the one that got away
And you should have seen the one that got away
There were two old middle aged girls
They were sitting in the beauty salon
Waiting for their nails to dry
They were putting each other on They were trading the recipes
And all of the ways to save
One hundred and one night stands
With a brand new permanent wave, they were singing
You should have seen the one that got away
Oh, you should have seen the one that got away
Hindsight makes the heart grow fonder
That’s what it costs
When you run around saying I love you
With your fingers crossed
And it’s too late to go back now
OH that’s just about as good as it gets
For rock’n roll Romeos and their jukebox Juliets
And you can see them out on the street
Tryin' to figure out what it all means
When they try to make their lives complete
In the safety of their dreams
By putting their arms around the one that got away
And you should have seen the one that got away
Oh you should have seen the one that got away
And you should have seen the one that got away
Songtekstvertaling
Er waren twee oude mannen van middelbare leeftijd.
En ze zaten in de hoek bar
Ze logen over wat
Ze zijn geweldige minnaars.
Elkaars oor buigen
Ze bogen ook met hun ellebogen.
En ze hielden hun armen uit elkaar
Net zoals vissers doen, zingen
Je had degene moeten zien die ontsnapte.
En je had degene moeten zien die ontsnapte.
Er waren twee oude meisjes van middelbare leeftijd.
Ze zaten in de schoonheidssalon.
Wachten tot hun nagels droog zijn
Ze zetten elkaar op, ze verhandelden de recepten.
En alle manieren om te redden
One night stands
Met een gloednieuwe permanente golf, zongen ze
Je had degene moeten zien die ontsnapte.
Je had degene moeten zien die ontsnapte.
Achteraf gezien wordt het hart sterker.
Dat is wat het kost.
Als je zegt dat ik van je hou
Met je vingers gekruist
En het is te laat om terug te gaan.
Meer wordt het niet.
Voor rock ' N roll Romeos en hun Jukebox Juli
En je kunt ze op straat zien.
Ik probeer erachter te komen wat het allemaal betekent.
Als ze proberen hun leven compleet te maken
In de veiligheid van hun dromen
Door hun armen om degene te leggen die ontsnapte.
En je had degene moeten zien die ontsnapte.
Je had degene moeten zien die ontsnapte.
En je had degene moeten zien die ontsnapte.
