marie couche toi là

Après s’être fait la main (difficilement) sur les coupures de la presse anglophone internationale et leur vocabulaire spécifique, le cours d’anglais de demain va se concentrer sur la culture et notamment la musique. A cette fin, la prof nous a demandé à ce que chacun amène une chanson avec ses paroles, pour les comprendre puis les analyser afin de les décrypter. En outre, elle nous a interdit de chanter. Mais pourquoi ?

Pour ma part, je prendrai “Left Me For Dead” de Rob Dougan, racontant l’histoire d’une rupture, assez douloureuse pour qu’il en fasse une analogie avec un délit de fuite dont il serait la victime. C’est ça ou je passe pour un couillon, héhé.

Les paroles :

You didn’t stop to look round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on you’re way
And no prayer was said
You left me for dead
You didn’t cover my face
I didn’t merit a communal grave
You set me aside
And no tears were shed
You left me for dead
And I say I won’t stop no ’till hell is your home
There’s no where to hide (no nowhere)
You’ll feel the cold of my gun hit your head
Ah you left me for dead
And it’s not like you stayed by my side or you called me a priest
You searched through my mouth to check for gold teeth
you were pawning my shoes as i bled

You left me for, left me for, left me, for
Dead

You kept on taking your time
Until it was certain i couldn’t survive
Judas remained, you turned and fled
You left me for dead
And it didn’t trouble your mind
It did not disturb you to see me decline
You turned out my lights
You put me to bed
You left me for dead
(And i say) that I won’t rest my head until hell is your home
You’ll think that you’re safe but oh no
You’ll feel the cold of my gun hit your head
Ah you left me for dead
And you didn’t stay close to me didn’t stay by my side
I was choking in blood as delight filled your eyes
You’re gonna burn for each word that you said
Cause you
Left me for, left me for, left me me for
Dead

But I don’t want to search no more
There’s nowhere to hide
So why don’t you come quietly my love
I wanted to say, to say that you sure proved the death of me
Cause now i’ve reached a dead end, and i can’t go back
But if i’m going down you’ll come with me…

You didn’t stop to look round
You were gone before I hit the ground
You went on you’re way
And no prayer was said
You left me for dead
Cause you didn’t cover my face
I didn’t merit a communal grave
You set me aside
And no tears were shed
You left me for dead
