simple minds

J’adore cette vieille chanson de 1995. Je l’ai peut-être écoutée vingt fois en boucle aujourd’hui, avec la version instrumentale, au piano, qui la suit, sur le single (« # 4 »). La façon dont Jim Kerr prononce les deux derniers vers, les contrepoints du guitariste, la frappe de bûcheron du batteur…

I can feel the whole world spinning around
I'm losing ground
I feel it every day
And I can feel you coming inside out
I'm losing touch with all reality

I remember the look in your eyes
The way that they pulled me inside
All I've got now in my defence is my innocence
I've been hypnotised

I can hear the church bells ringing out
Reminds me of some bright and sunshine day
When all the pretty horses you would ride
Would come right back to feel your energy

I still remember the look in your eyes
The way that they fooled me inside
All I've got now in my defence
Is my innocence
I've been hypnotised

You know it won't be easy
It's never easy
I've been hypnotised
It won't be easy

So tell me what you think
Do you think I'll sink Number one scapegoat?
I'm the missing link
All I know I've been Hypnotised

It won't be easy

If you've got a heart that burns inside
Let me get inside let me tangle with the flames
If you've got a light that burns inside
The heat will rise and melt down once again

I'm waiting for a sign, help me realign
Maybe it's a sin I know but it's not a crime
All I know, I've been hypnotised

Maybe there's a way I can find a way
Final hour Judgement day
All I know, I've been hypnotised
And then I realized

Ah "hypnotized" !!! Simple Minds, un groupe injustement méconnu !!!
