The Beautiful South – Song For Whoever

J’adore ressortir des titres que j’écoutais sur vinyl étant petit. Dans ma chambre, je me penchais sur la platine, posais délicatement la tête de lecture sur le disque. Quelques crépitements plus tard la magie se faisait…

The Beautiful South en est. Une chanson fort sympa, des paroles jolies comme tout et une pochette qui a l’époque faisait controverse 🙂

I love you from the bottom, of my pencil case
I love you in the songs, I write and sing

Love you because, you put me in my rightful place
And I love the prs cheques, that you bring

Cheap, never cheap
Ill sing you songs till youre asleep
When youve gone upstairs Ill creep
And write it all down

Oh shirley, oh deborah, oh julie, oh jane
I wrote so many songs about you
I forget your name (I forget your name)
Jennifer, alison, phillipa, sue, deborah, annabel, too
Jennifer, alison, phillipa, sue, deborah, annabel, too
I forget your name

I love your from the bottom of my pencil case
I love the way you never ask me why
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face
And I love you till my fountain pen runs dry

Deep so deep, the number one I hope to reap
Depends upon the tears you weep, so cry, lovey cry, cry, cry, cry

Oh cathy, oh alison, oh phillipa, oh sue
You made me so much money, I wrote this song for you
Jennifer, alison, phillipa, sue, deborah, annabel, too
I wrote this song for you

So let me talk about mary, a sad story
Turned her grief into glory
Late at night, by the typewriter light,
She ripped his ribbon to shreds
