The Who - Substitute Dutch translation lyrics

Substitute

Je denkt dat we er aardig leuk uitzien samen
Je denkt dat mijn schoenen van leer zijn

Maar ik ben een vervanger van een andere vent
Ik lijk aardig lang, maar mijn hakken zijn hoog
De eenvoudige dingen die je ziet zijn allemaal ingewikkeld
Ik lijk aardig jong, maar ik ben van de oude stempel

Vervang je leugens door feiten
Ik zie dwars door je plastic regenjas  (mackintosh)
Ik lijk helemaal blank, maar mijn pa was zwart
Mijn piekfijne pak is in werkelijkheid gemaakt van een jutezak

Ik ben geboren met een plastic lepel in mijn mond
De noordzijde van mijn stad was naar het oosten gericht en het oosten keek zuidwaarts
En nu durf je mij in de ogen te kijken
Dit zijn krokodillentranen die je huilt
Het is een oprecht probleem, je wilt helemaal niet proberen
Het uit te praten, je loopt er langs heen, langs heen

Vervang mij door hem
Vervang mijn cola door gin
Vervang jou door mijn ma
Mijn was wordt dan tenminste gedaan

Substitute

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah.

(Substitute) Your lies for fact
(Substitute) I see right through your plastic mac
(Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black
(Substitute) My fine linen suit is really made out of sack.

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all just pass it by, pass it by.

(Substitute) Me for him
(Substitute) My coke for gin
(Substitute) You for my mum
(Substitute) At least I'll get my washing done.

I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah (2x).

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all just pass it by, pass it by.

(Substitute) Me for him
(Substitute) My coke for gin
(Substitute) You for my mum
(Substitute) At least I'll get my washing done.

(Substitute) Your lies for fact
(Substitute) I see right through your plastic mac
(Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black
(Substitute) My fine linen suit is really made out of sack.
