La canzone "When the music's over"
è in attesa di commento circa le circostanze nelle quali venne scritta. Torna a
visitare questo sito tra qualche mese per tutti i dettagli e le curiosità.
The eleven-minute stretch
of "When the Music's Over" contained an angry
protest, "We want the world and we want it now!" as
well as Jim's continuing preoccupation with his own
death ("Before I sink into the big sleep/I want to
hear/The scream of the butterfly"). And finally,
there were Jim's putdowns of women in "Unhappy
Girl" ("You are locked in a prison/of your own
devise") and in the title of "You're Lost Little Girl."
When The Music's Over
Yeah, c'mon
When the music's over
When the music's over here
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
When the music's over
When the music's over
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end
Cancel my subscription to the resurrection
Send my credentials to the house of detention
I got some friends inside
The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends alive she cried
Waiting for me outside
Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly
Come back, baby
Back into my arms
We're getting tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around
With our heads to the ground
I hear a very gentle sound
Very near
Yet very far
Very soft
Yet very clear
Come today
Come today
What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered
And ripped her
And bit her
Stuck her with knives
In the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences
And dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground—
We want the world and we want it,
We want the world and we want it, now
Now? Now!
Persian night! babe
See the light! babe
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!
So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the light
Turn out the light
For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end
So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the light
Turn out the light
