Standing In For Joe by XTC
Lyrics & Translation
English
I'm standing, standing in for Joe
Joe called round to ask me, Would I do a favour?
While he's gonna be out of town
He says his girl needs company, she gets so restless
Would I keep her safe and sound?
Softly, softly in the night
Why, you can guess the rest...
Now these shoes fit all too well
Standing in for Joe
Standing in for Joe
I'm standing - in for Joe
Joe said we've been friends so long
That I would be the one he would trust with his life
And now those words roll 'round my brain
As darkness falls, as I turn out his bedroom light
Who could resist her tender charms?
So the story goes...
This actor he plays all the parts
Standing in for Joe
Standing in for Joe
I'm standing - in for Joe
Love is like a river,
You cannot stop its flow... Mmm hmm
Joe called round to ask me, Would I do a favour?
While he's gonna be out of town
He says his girl needs company, she gets so restless
Would I check that she's safe and sound?
Softly, softly in the night
Why, you can guess the rest...
Now these shoes fit all too well
Standing in for Joe
I'm standing in for Joe - Oh yeah
I'm standing in for Joe - Keep his sweetheart company, yeah
Standing in for Joe - Just standing in for Joe, yeah
Standing in for Joe - Until he gets back home, yeah
Standing in for Joe - Gonna keep her insane, yeah
Standing in for Joe - Gonna keep her safe and sound, yeah
Standing in for Joe - Keep his sweetheart company, yeah
Standing in for Joe - Almost full time, which is nice, yeah
Standing in for Joe - Because she gets so restless
Standing in for Joe - Always so restless
Standing in for Joe - Keep his sweetheart company, yeah
Standing in for Joe - Gonna keep her safe and sound, yeah
Standing in for Joe - I'm standing in for Joe, yeah...

Standing In For Joe (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Estoy sustituyendo a Joe
Joe me llamó para preguntarme, ¿Le haría un favor?
Mientras él va a estar fuera de la ciudad
Dice que su chica necesita compañía, se pone tan inquieta
¿La mantendría sana y salva?
Suavemente, suavemente en la noche
Bueno, puedes adivinar el resto...
Ahora estos zapatos me quedan demasiado bien
Sustituyendo a Joe
Sustituyendo a Joe
Estoy sustituyendo a Joe
Joe dijo que hemos sido amigos por tanto tiempo
Que yo sería el único en quien confiaría su vida
Y ahora esas palabras dan vueltas en mi cerebro
Mientras cae la oscuridad, mientras apago la luz de su dormitorio
¿Quién podría resistir sus tiernos encantos?
Así es como va la historia...
Este actor interpreta todos los papeles
Sustituyendo a Joe
Sustituyendo a Joe
Estoy sustituyendo a Joe
El amor es como un río,
No puedes detener su flujo... Mmm hmm
Joe me llamó para preguntarme, ¿Le haría un favor?
Mientras él va a estar fuera de la ciudad
Dice que su chica necesita compañía, se pone tan inquieta
¿Verificaría que está sana y salva?
Suavemente, suavemente en la noche
Bueno, puedes adivinar el resto...
Ahora estos zapatos me quedan demasiado bien
Sustituyendo a Joe
Estoy sustituyendo a Joe - Oh sí
Estoy sustituyendo a Joe - Haciéndole compañía a su amor, sí
Sustituyendo a Joe - Solo sustituyendo a Joe, sí
Sustituyendo a Joe - Hasta que regrese a casa, sí
Sustituyendo a Joe - Voy a volverla loca, sí
Sustituyendo a Joe - Voy a mantenerla sana y salva, sí
Sustituyendo a Joe - Haciéndole compañía a su amor, sí
Sustituyendo a Joe - Casi a tiempo completo, lo cual es bueno, sí
Sustituyendo a Joe - Porque se pone tan inquieta
Sustituyendo a Joe - Siempre tan inquieta
Sustituyendo a Joe - Haciéndole compañía a su amor, sí
Sustituyendo a Joe - Voy a mantenerla sana y salva, sí
Sustituyendo a Joe - Estoy sustituyendo a Joe, sí...
