АВТОР, сейчас переслушал песни - и со всеми поправками я согласен. Должен признаться, я слишком поверил в "безгрешность" варианта, приведённого на официальном сайте. Во многих местах тексты там действительно скорректированы правильно, но, как получается, не везде. В Special Songs меня тоже слегка смутили некоторые моменты, но я списал их на невнятный вокал и потому оставил "официальный вариант".
В строчке I remember when hearing these... я всё же склоняюсь к tracks.
WHEN THE NIGHT CLOSES IN
(Tim Norell – Oson)
From “WHEN THE NIGHT CLOSES IN” (1985)
Let us take a walk
In the city lights
'Cause this night is right
And time is tight
Come and take my hand
Put your cigarette out
I would like to know
All about you
A few blocks from here is a boulevard
Where we can find a late night café
We got everything to win
When the night closes in, oh
Let me dry your tears
I know what you've been through
But baby feel no fear
I've been through it too
So just take my hand
Take a chance on me
This night belongs to us
You and me
A few blocks from here is a boulevard
Where we can find a late night café
(To stay there for a while)*
Oh we got everything to win
When the night closes in, oh
We got everything to win
When the night closes in, oh
* – only in “club mix” and “razormaid mix”
В эту песню исправлений вносить не потребовалось.
HOW I WANT YOU
(Tim Norell – Oson)
From “WHEN THE NIGHT CLOSES IN” (1985)
Running up the staircase
I can hear a sound
I am kind of nervous
Are you still around
I see someone coming
When I pass I see your face
It’s now the time to tell you
Would it be in vain
If I do explain
How I want you
How I need you
You’re so beautiful tonight
How I want you
When I see you in the light
Oh it’s times since I have seen you
What we had was right
Can’t we try again tonight
I have often wondered
Have you called my name
Or was it just a morning
For a little game
Can you still remember
How you kissed my eyes and smiled
It’s now the time to ask you
Would it be in vain
If I do explain
How I want you
How I need you
You’re so beautiful tonight
How I want you
When I see you in the light
Oh it’s times since I have seen you
What we had was right
Can’t we try again tonight
Yes I want you
And I need you
You’re so beautiful tonight
…
Текст официального сайта содержит ряд исправлений:
Running at this darkness ->
Running up the staircase
I can’t hear a song ->
I can hear a sound
It’s time since I have seen you ->
Oh it’s times since I have seen you
Let we try again tonight ->
Can’t we try again tonight
I am often wondered ->
I have often wondered
Or was it just a morning for a little game
Вот здесь на официальном сайте в очередной раз странное исправление: там приведено Or was it just one morning or a little game. По произношению это не годится ни в альбомную, ни в сингловую версии, так что оставил начальный вариант.
