Stop Me June (Little Ego) - Kent

Une chanson de Kent que j'apprécie particulièrement. Elle vient de leur album Hagnesta Hill, sorti en 2000 en version anglaise mais en 1999 pour la version suédoise. En effet, Kent est un groupe suédois qui voulait percer aux Etats-Unis notamment mais qui n'a pas eu le succès escompté. Donc après 2 albums en anglais, ils ont préféré privilégier leur carrière nationale et chanter uniquement en suédois. Je dois dire que je le regrette comme beaucoup de personnes. Evidemment parmi ceux qui ont eu la chance de les avoir entendus au moins une fois!
Toujours est-il que cet album est vraiment très spécial, un de mes favoris pour les textes et les mélodies.


Stop Me June (Little Ego)
Lyrics: Joakim Berg

I've been waiting for my brilliance to shine through
Like waiting would do
I've been called a little coward more than once
It hurts when it's true
I've been following your footprints in the snow
Trying to return the excuses that I stole

I'm the first on and the last off the bus
Little ego be still
And I fight the cold wind back up the street
To Hagnesta Hill
And the darkness and the snow fall as one
And I lost my scarf
At a bus stop on the outskirts of town

I gather all the courage and the hate
Little ego is wild
And my voice broke, I finally reached that age
I was cruel as a child
If this feeling that remains is not mine
Then it's something new
Maybe my brilliance shining through

It's noisy, can't think I can't speak
I'm tired of handshakes so please
Get rid of this crowd I can't breathe here anymore
You just have to let me go

It's noisy, can't think I can't speak
I'm tired of handshakes so please
Get rid of this crowd I can't breathe here anymore
You just have to let me go
You just have to let me go
You just have to let me go
You just have to let me go

And I don't need your help
You just have to let me go
