Je dois vous faire part d’une question qui me taraude en ce moment…
J’ai écouté le dernier single “Bodies” de Robbie Williams.
Son dernier album s’intitule “Reality Killed The Video Stars” et a été produit par Trevor Horn des Buggles (le nom de l’album est un clin d’oeil au “Video Killed The Radio Star” des Buggles).
C’est un artiste que j’apprécie pour son autodérision, son audace et ses mélodies entrainantes.
Je ne crie pas nôn plus au génie mais il faut avouer qu’il a du style.
Cependant, ce dernier morceau me donne du fil à retordre.
J’ai décortiqué les paroles dans tous les sens, confronté les points de vue, réécouté en boucle le titre et ça ne donne rien : je ne comprends pas où il veut en venir !!
Le bruit court que Mr Williams est devenu très chrétien. Cette chanson est donc sur Jésus et tout le tintouin… (ça commence d’ailleurs à me gonfler toutes ces considérations religieuses….) mais certaines incohérences me font penser que le sieur Williams a baclé l’écriture ! (hmmm pas bieeeen !)
Les paroles :
God gave me the sunshine,
Then showed me my lifeline
I was told it was all mine,
Then I got laid on a ley line
What a day, what a day,
And your Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me
UK and entropy,
I feel like its ****in’ me
Wanna feed off the energy,
Love living like a deity
What a day, one day,
And your Jesus really died for me
I guess Jesus really tried for me
Bodies in the Bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
And that’s the way it’s gonna be
All we’ve ever wanted
Is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection
From my reflection,
I want perfection
Praying for the rapture,
‘Cause it’s stranger getting stranger
And everything’s contagious
It’s the modern middle ages
All day every day
And if Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me
Bodies in the Bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
And that’s the way it’s gonna be
All we’ve ever wanted
Is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection
From my reflection,
I want perfection
Bodies in the Bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
Bodies in the bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
And that’s the way it’s gonna be
All we’ve ever wanted
Is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
So God save me rejection
From my reflection,
I want perfection
Jesus didn’t die for you, what do you want?
(I want perfection)
Jesus didn’t die for you, what are you on?
Oh Lord
(Jesus really died for you) Ohh
(Jesus really died for you)
(Jesus really died for you) Ohh
Bref, je n’y comprends rien et je déteste ne pas comprendre !! Alors je vais me renseigner à la source et je vous tiens au courant !!
