What is "pound out the work"?
There is a text:
"One of the biggest problems you need to solve if you work for yourself is how to make yourself do work.
The best entrepreneurs have figured it out and just pound out the work they need to do."
What does it mean "pound out the work"? How would you translate it into Russian (if you can)?

Your knees are green - идиома?
Есть цитата некоего Bill Watterson:
"If your knees aren’t green by the end of the day, you ought to seriously re-examine your life."
Я предполагаю, что первая часть предложения значит "если ты не сделал что-то стоящее сегодня".
"Зеленые колени" - это вроде ты ползал по грядке целый день и занимался полезными делами )
Правильно ли я понял?

Как перевести "get good"?
Добрый день!
Перевожу статью о том, как бросить вредную привычку. Застрял вот на этом:
Get good at getting through an urge. An urge isn’t an absolute command. It’s an itch. You can overcome it. Watch the urge, let it rise, and know that it will pass in a minute. Get through it. Then you’re good.
Как перевести "Get good" в начале? Смысл понимаю, а аналог в русском придумать не могу )
И в конце - "Then you're good." Тоже подскажите.

Explain me the meaning of 'They shook and lurched all over the church floor'
That is line from song of 'Crash Test Dummies'
Verse:
'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to the church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain
They'd always just gone there
Whole text at http://www.native-english.ru/lyrics/crash_test_dummies/crash-test-dummies-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-song-lyrics
I understood that almost, but 4th line is not clear.
Thanks in advance.Thank you, Denis.
Hm... Some experiments that people conduct on themselves looks strange...

What is 'helter skelter' and 'kilter'?
Hi everybody!
I liked the song 'Wild Child' of Enya. So I wanted understand it and have found lyrics. (You can see that at: http://www.amalgama-lab.com/songs/e/enya/wild_child.html )
And there is such words:
Only take the time
from the helter skelter
every day you find
everything's in kilter
Though, there is translation into Russian on the page I mentioned, I wanna more details.
'everything's in kilter' is translated as 'всё в порядке'. But Google translate it as 'все в беспорядке' . It is a quite opposite meaning!
And 'helter skelter' is what Google can't translate at all.
Tell me the true, please! :)
