he is called "the one eyed man", his job is killing.
the whole village have fled, no one wants to go out,
And I know that in this occasion he is coming for me,
I have to do something, yes, I'll get rid of him.
His laugh is so false like that of Judas,
his look is the coldest than you can know,
In his waist there are more bullets than in all an arsenal,
in his revolver there are more notches than on the bar counter,
he is the dirtiest and fastest in shooting.
And I know...
He just comes into by saloon door,
by a signal, he indicates me how unhappy I am.
I know that you can't count on the sheriff,
his motto is always the law and it is no legal for him.
Lyrics
The gunman(2) has already arrived AT the city,
ReplyDeletehe is called "the one eyed man", his job is killing.
the whole village haS fled, no one wants to go out,
in the saloon, the waiter stopped [] servING.
And I know that ON this occasion he is coming for me,
I have to do something, yes, I'll get rid of(1) him.
His laugh is AS false AS that of Judas,
his look is the coldest than you can know,
In his BELT there are more bullets than in A WHOLE arsenal,
in his revolver there are more notches than on the bar counter,
he is the dirtiest and fastest in shooting.
And I know...
He just cAmE iN by THE saloon door,
by a signal, he indicates TO me how unhappy I am.
I know that you can't count on the sheriff,
his motto is always the law and it is noT legal for him.
(1) good phrase
(2) option: gunfighter, as commonly used in Western movies
it's a nightmare the using "me" ot "to me" after the verb. Probably there is not rules about this. Thanks anyway Matt.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. "He shows me how unhappy I am" would have been fine.
DeleteThere are a couple lists here that might help:

I noted that "show" is there but "indicate" is not.
I appreciate your attention, I have found something here:

It has to do with verbs which uses "to" as preposition. I think the page of British Council speak of different topic.
