The Lost Room
Neil Francis Tennant, Christopher Sean Lowe
Sent away to school
We would talk too much in sheets and take our discipline in teams
They trained us to be hard
For cruelty in man who'd ask anonymous it seems
And we
You camaraderie
In the lost room I'll hide away
We would play the strangest games that any boy might like to play
In the lost room both night and day
Candles flickered casting shadows on the monsters and their prey
Mother, I wrote to you
But your answers only said that it's important to be brave
Father was far away
In a corner of the empire where we never shall be slaves
For we
No camaraderie
In the lost room a boy could see
How survival of the fittest made destruction of the weak
In the lost room a tyranny
Was imposed by those who quote they'd never turn the other cheek
Crash and then again
But the servants cleaning dormitories can't hear what we say
Crack, it's only pain
And important to be disciplined when war is on the way
They say
We will obey
In the lost room I hide away
We would play the strangest games that any boy might like to play
In the lost room both night and day
Candles flickered casting shadows on the monsters and their prey
In the lost room a boy could see
How survival of the fittest made destruction of the weak
In the future this time will tell
Running riot under orders would create a living hell
Lost
Mother, I'm lost

Mother, I'm lost
Sent away to school
Envoyé à l'école
We would talk too much in sheets and take our discipline in teams
Nous parlions trop dans les draps et prenions notre discipline en équipes
They trained us to be hard

For cruelty in man who'd ask anonymous it seems
Pour la cruauté en l'homme qui semble anonyme
And we
Et nous
You camaraderie
Toi camaraderie
In the lost room I'll hide away
Dans la pièce perdue, je me cacherai
We would play the strangest games that any boy might like to play
Nous jouions aux jeux les plus étranges qu'un garçon pourrait aimer jouer
In the lost room both night and day
Dans la pièce perdue, nuit et jour
Candles flickered casting shadows on the monsters and their prey
Les bougies vacillaient, projetant des ombres sur les monstres et leur proie
Mother, I wrote to you
Mère, je t'ai écrit
But your answers only said that it's important to be brave
Mais tes réponses disaient seulement qu'il est important d'être courageux
Father was far away
Père était loin
In a corner of the empire where we never shall be slaves
Dans un coin de l'empire où nous ne serons jamais esclaves
For we
Pour nous
No camaraderie

In the lost room a boy could see
Dans la pièce perdue, un garçon pouvait voir
How survival of the fittest made destruction of the weak
Comment la survie du plus apte a fait la destruction du plus faible
In the lost room a tyranny
Dans la pièce perdue, une tyrannie
Was imposed by those who quote they'd never turn the other cheek
A été imposée par ceux qui disent qu'ils ne tourneraient jamais l'autre joue
Crash and then again
Crash et puis encore
But the servants cleaning dormitories can't hear what we say
Mais les serviteurs nettoyant les dortoirs ne peuvent pas entendre ce que nous disons
Crack, it's only pain
Crack, ce n'est que de la douleur
And important to be disciplined when war is on the way
Et il est important d'être discipliné quand la guerre est en route
They say
Ils disent
We will obey
Nous obéirons
In the lost room I hide away
Dans la pièce perdue, je me cache

In the future this time will tell
Dans le futur, seul le temps le dira

Faire des émeutes sous les ordres créerait un enfer vivant
