英國印／斐／馬裔創作歌手［塔妮塔提卡蘭］──民謠搖滾／流行曲──［World Outside Your Window／你窗外的世界］

Everyone has said that I might go
Cause my red suitcase and my ray-bans
Werent quite so
Id bear the heavy wind and rain that falls

Ill never come back again
Cause you know I laugh when winter shows her hand
Well, that picture framed the saddest thing youll see
But it bought me time and a place that love could be
And since Im going now please rearrange

Cause Id like to think that things have changed
I dont believe youll be open anymore

Tell me if, you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isnt free
And tell me if you want to catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption doesnt do much for me

Well, everyone was hoping you would stay a while
Tell us bout that great land in the south
I see that man - now aint he under offer?
I tell you child you go wash out your mouth

Tell me if, you want to see
A world outside your window
A world outside your window isnt free
And tell me if you want to catch that feeling of redemption
That feeling of redemption doesnt do much for me

What can you say
Im hiding in the belfry
What can you say - I want to catch time
How can you say you know anything about me
Well I knew about you - but I wont care about you

Everyone has come to see. Well somethings have to do
Flowers out for this photographic haunt, but they all pass me by
But the age is not a funny game, it dont give such a buzz
And when I winced with ignorance
I had to kiss this dust
