Voici une chanson que j'aime depuis que je l'ai entendue pour la première fois. Je viens de l'entendre à nouveau en voiture sur Chérie FM et j'ai eu envie de la mettre sur mon blog. J'aime bien la voix chaude de cette chanteuse anglaise (originaire de Malaisie) ainsi que la mélodie, même si, là encore, les paroles ne sont pas toujours faciles à traduire en français. "Twist in my sobriety" est extrait de son premier album "Ancient Heart", sorti alors qu'elle n'avait que 19 ans, et eut un succès planétaire. Le clip que j'ai trouvé en ligne sur You Tube a été tourné sur l'Altiplano bolivien. Pour en savoir plus sur cette chanteuse un peu oubliée (bien qu'elle ait continué sa carrière avec, en 2005, un 7ème album "Sentimental"), consultez : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanita_Tikaram
All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear
In the morning I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
We just poked a little pie
For the fun people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Cup of tea, take time to think, yea
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light
Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
