Paroles
Oh my gosh, I almost didn’t make it! But I did.
And I have so many messages for you from the
villages that I have passed through.
This is part three of a three part story.
A little bit strange
A little bit funny
And a little bit gory.
Here we go.
And as I came around the corner of the building,
I saw embedded in the wall a shell, I saw a most
beautiful pearl and I saw the footprints of a dog
and I saw a word M-A-G-l-C. And I looked over to you in your garden and you leaned forward to me and you said ‘How beautiful!'. Thank you! ‘No,
how beautiful are the columns of the temple that
have found their way here, right now.'
We can climb the highest mountain
We can ford the raging river
Even as we make the waitress cry
Even as we curse the next guy
Even as we brace for attack from our fellow man
And we can hear a child crying
on the other side of the world
Even as we can’t hear our own friends but …
And I came around the corner of the building
and I saw embedded in the wall a shell, a pearl,
a seven-league boot, the footprints of a dog and
I saw people streaming past you ¡n the garden.
Where were they going? Hey!
CALL MAGIC!
A man approached me on the street and he said
‘You're so attractive'. I know. ‘Your legs are like
columns in a temple, I just want to caress them and
I…' And I said aren’t you my girlfriend’s boyfriend?
Oh, I’d never do anything. I just thought you valued
honesty.' I do. ‘I just thought you valued openness.'
I DO.
Call Magic! Wha?
Just then a woman came walking towards me wearing what looked like a superhero’s cape but
not quite. Very plain and unassuming. And as she passed, she looked at me and her eyes were
bright blue and piercing and brimming with
intelligence and humour. I felt like I’d been zapped.
You never know who you’re talking to You never know who you’re walking to You never know who you’re sitting beside
You never know who you’re taking for a ride
What? I take people for a ride?
LET GO!
But he just wouldn’t let go of it. He said he’d never
do anything but he wouldn’t stop saying what he wouldn’t do. I couldn’t stop him.
Call Magic! Not now. Call Magic! I’m too busy.
And I came around the corner of the building,
I saw embedded in the wall
a shell, a pearl, I did NOT see the footprints
of the dog though. Hey!
And then I passed three men at the side Z.
of the road smoking.
And then I passed a couple talking.
Marry me. I can’t marry you.
Marry me. I won’t marry you.
You make me feel almost sleazy!
It’s not that you judge
I don’t feel like you do It’s just how wobbly my spine feels
when I stand next to you
I pick up the phone. I don’t call you.
I pick up the phone. I don’t call you.
Marry me. I won’t marry you
Mmuh schmuh! Why doesn’t he just marry her?
Let Go! But I didn’t understand, you see. She was
just asking about integrity. And my judgment of this couple started to make me feel soooo sleepy. As if I’d been running through a field of self-vampirizing
poppies (the poppies being me).
CALL MAGIC! No.
CALL MAGIC! Muh…
CALL MAGIC! Magic…
CALL MAGIC! OK. MAGIC!!!
Like That?
And to my great surprise a big black dog came
bounding towards me. Wha? Is this Magic?
You want me to take Magic for a walk? So Magic
and I started walking towards the next village.
We passed three men — Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego. We passed three children — they
were humming at the side of a field and the field
was beginning to change, to come back to life.
And I felt like I’d had bandaids ripped from my eyes and I was so … GRATEFUL?
Not exactly. NOT EXACTLY! NOT EXACTLY!
Traduction des paroles
Vous ne savez jamais qui vous prenez pour un tour
Comment? Je prends les gens pour un tour?
LAISSER ALLER!
Mais il ne serait pas juste laisser aller de lui. Il a dit qu'il n'avait jamais
faites n'importe quoi mais il n'arrêterait pas de dire ce qu'il ne ferait pas. Je ne pouvais pas l'arrêter.
Appel De La Magie! Pas maintenant. Appel De La Magie! Je suis trop occupé.
Et je suis venu au coin de l'Immeuble,
J'ai vu encastré dans le mur
une coquille, une perle, Je n'ai pas vu les empreintes
du chien si. Hey!
Et puis j'ai passé trois hommes sur le côté Z.
de la route de fumer.
Et puis j'ai passé un couple à parler.
M'épouser. Je ne peux pas vous épouser.
M'épouser. Je ne vais pas vous épouser.
Tu me fais me sentir presque louche!
Ce n'est pas que vous jugiez
Je ne me sens pas comme toi C'est juste à quel point ma colonne vertébrale est bancale
quand je me tiens à côté de toi
Je décroche le téléphone. Je ne vous appelle pas.
Je décroche le téléphone. Je ne vous appelle pas.
M'épouser. Je ne vais pas vous épouser
Mmuh schmuh! Pourquoi n'a-t-il se marier?
Laisser Aller! Mais je ne comprenais pas, à vous de voir. Elle a été
simplement en demandant au sujet de l'intégrité. Et mon jugement de ce couple a commencé à me faire sentir vraiment somnolent. Comme si j'avais traversé un champ d'auto-vampirisation
Coquelicots (Les Coquelicots étant moi).
APPEL DE LA MAGIE! Aucun.
APPEL DE LA MAGIE! Muh…
APPEL DE LA MAGIE! Magie…
APPEL DE LA MAGIE! OK. La MAGIE!!!
Comme Ça?
Et à ma grande surprise, un gros chien noir est venu
bondissant vers moi. Wha? Est-ce de la Magie?
Tu veux que je me promène avec Magic? Si Magique
et j'ai commencé à marcher vers le prochain village.
Nous avons passé trois hommes — Shadrach, Meshach et
Abed-nego. Nous avons passé trois enfants — ils
fredonnaient sur le côté d'un champ et le champ
commençait à changer, à revenir à la vie.
Et je me sentais comme si j'avais eu des bandaids arraché de mes yeux et j'étais si ... reconnaissant?
Pas exactement. PAS EXACTEMENT! PAS EXACTEMENT!
