- Rather Be Dead Lyrics / with translations - engYes I could relieve my coachman
Get rid of my servants as fast as I can
Yes I could sell my beloved hat
My coat, my shoes, I can do that
Yes I could crawl before the master
Do as he says work much faster
Yes I could ask him for a loan
Watch him smiling from his throne
I'm in way over my head
But sink that low
I'd rather be dead
I could get served less expensive food
But I would fall in a sullen mood
Eat normal food no french cuisine
Travel Europe not the Carribean
I'm in way over my head
B ut sink that low
I'd rather be dead
Yes I could abandon all my precious things
Change my life and see what the future brings
Yes I could say: I like what you do
Say: I love who you are and what you look like too
I could get dressed in these rags you have on
Though they aren't made of chiffon
I'm in way over my head
But sink that low
I'd rather be dead
Get rid of my servants as fast as I can
Yes I could sell my beloved hat
My coat, my shoes, I can do that
Yes I could crawl before the master
Do as he says work much faster
Yes I could ask him for a loan
Watch him smiling from his throne
I'm in way over my head
But sink that low
I'd rather be dead
I could get served less expensive food
But I would fall in a sullen mood
Eat normal food no french cuisine
I'm in way over my head
B ut sink that low
I'd rather be dead
Yes I could abandon all my precious things
Change my life and see what the future brings
Yes I could say: I like what you do
Say: I love who you are and what you look like too
I could get dressed in these rags you have on
Though they aren't made of chiffon
I'm in way over my head
But sink that low
I'd rather be dead
