Below, I translated the lyrics of the song The Bully by The Lemon Twigs from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Shane, I'm waiting
Shane, I'm waiting
For you inside the bathroom stall
For you inside the bathroom stall
Your footsteps coming down the hall
Your footsteps coming down the hall
As I stay still
As I stay still
Something makes me ill
Something makes me ill
My eyes grow wide and fill
My eyes grow wide and full
They fill with tears
They fill with tears
Visions haunt me
Visions haunt me
Just as they did when I was young
Just as they did when I was young
My poor father
My poor father
Was given Robert as a son
Was given Robert as a son
Robert being me
Robert being me
Shamed the family
Shamed the family
Slow as slow could be
Slow as slow could be
While his father had a PHD
While his father had a PHD
Please have mercy
Please have mercy
I'm doing everything I can
I'm doing everything I can
Robert Senior politely
Robert Senior politely
Asked his son to stand
Asked his son to stand
Do you wanna know why
Do you wanna know why
Your mother died?
Your mother died?
When you were born
When you were born
She couldn't bear to raise a boy like you
She couldn't bear to raise a boy like you
She just couldn't hack it
She just couldn't hack it
Her body attacked itself
Her body attacked itself
By the time the birth was through
By the time the birth was through
Shane, I waited
Shane, I waited
To smash your head against the wall
To smash your head against the wall
My self-hatred
My self-hatred
Makes me feel like I want it all
Makes me feel like I want it all
Unclose my eyes
Unclose my eyes
Listen to your cries
Listen to your cries
And try to feel my size
And try to feel my size
But my father's voice just won't subside
But my father's voice just won't subsidize
