Samuel Oh How Youve Changed

[Verse 1] Most of the better bred woolen toys have gone to bed         Ab              Eb              Ebsus4 And the teddy bear is a-sleeping in the cupboard And the wooden soldiers all and the rubber bouncing ball Are list’ning to the tales of mother Hubbard     But the fairy lights are dark on the Christmas tree as restelssly I stand here forgotten and a-lone   I’ve been too long on the floor I can’t stay here any more So Jenny won’t you please take me home.      [Verse 2] Statues that I see are made out of blackest ivory       Ab                    Eb                Ebsus4 But I pass them by never to guessing of their meaning And a million voices cry as I walk across the sky Though it’s restless here why it’s only in-betweening For the journey that I’m on is incomplete so to my feet I must rise now to travel on alone Ah but if you’ve got some time to spend in between now and the end Oh Jenny won’t you please take me home.      [Verse 3] Almost every word that I’ve said that you have heard       Ab                    Eb    Ebsus4 Hides another thought left unspoken And if I may not reach it through the gutter of my speech Then it best be left unsaid than lie unbroken    And if you wish to see then from time to time look in my eyes Oh the gold is not far beneath the stone Mmm and if that will not say it doesn’t matter anyway    Oh Jenny won’t you please take me home.

La chanson évoque une nostalgie profonde, où le narrateur se sent oublié et isolé, confronté à des souvenirs d'enfance perdus. Il observe des jouets qui dorment, symbolisant un monde qui se fige, tandis qu'il ressent le poids de son voyage inachevé. Les statues et les voix qui l’entourent représentent des pensées et des émotions qu'il ne parvient pas à exprimer. Au fil des vers, il cherche désespérément une connexion, un réconfort, et implore Jenny de le ramener chez lui, évoquant un désir de retrouver un sentiment d'appartenance. C'est un appel à la compréhension et à la compassion, démontrant l'importance des relations humaines dans les moments de solitude.
