Lyrics & Translation
English
Red sun going down, way over dirty town
Starlings they're sweeping around, crazy shoals
Yes and a girl is there, high heeling across the square
The wind, it blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles
Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light
She looks around to find a face she can like
Church bell clinging on distant, trying to get a crowd for Evensong
Nobody cares to depend upon the chimes it plays
They're all in the station praying for trains
Congregation's late again
It's getting darker all the time, these flagpole days
Drunk old soldier he gives her a fright
He's a crazy lion, he's a-howling for a fight
Strap hanging, gunshots sound
Doors slamming on the Overground
Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone
Her evening paper is horror torn
But there's hope for later, Capricorn
Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home
Then she'll read about a swing to the right
But she's been thinking about a stranger in the night
I'm thinking about the lions
Thinking about the lions
What happened to the lions
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Thinking about the lions
Thinking about the lions

Lions (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sol rojo bajando, allá sobre el pueblo sucio
Estorninos barren alrededor, cardúmenes locos
Sí, y una chica está allí, cruzando el paseo con tacones altos
El viento sopla a su alrededor en su pelo y las banderas en los postes
Esperando en la multitud para cruzar con la luz
Mira a su alrededor para encontrar una cara que le guste
Campana de iglesia sonando a lo lejos, intentando reunir una multitud para las vísperas
A nadie le importa depender de las campanadas que toca
Todos están en la estación rezando por los trenes
La congregación llega tarde de nuevo
Se está oscureciendo todo el tiempo, estos días de asta de bandera
Un viejo soldado borracho la asusta
Es un león loco, aúlla buscando pelea
Correa colgando, suenan disparos
Puertas cerrándose en el Overground
Los estorninos son duros pero los leones son de piedra
Su periódico de la tarde está hecho jirones de horror
Pero hay esperanza para más tarde, Capricornio
Sus estrellas de la suerte le dan lo suficiente para llegar a casa
Luego leerá sobre un giro a la derecha
Pero ha estado pensando en un extraño en la noche
Estoy pensando en los leones
Pensando en los leones
¿Qué pasó con los leones
Esta noche, esta noche, esta noche
Pensando en los leones
Pensando en los leones
