I'm A Cuckoo

Belle & Sebastian

Transposer:

Intro : I'm glad to see you I had a funny dream And you were wearing funny shoes You were going to a dance You were dressed like a punk but you are Too young to remember             Glad to see you I'm outside the house I'm not thinking right today I've got no energy I'm glad that you are waiting with me Tell me all about your day Breaking off is misery I see a wilderness for you and me Punctuated by philosophy And wondering how things could've been I'm happy for you You've made it hard for me I counted on your company You are staying with your friends tonight I'm feeling sorry for myself I keep taking everything to be a sign I'm happy for you Now I know this hurt is poison Too sharp to be bled I'm sitting on my empty bed On my empty bed At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding I'd rather be in Tokyo I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo Instrumental : Scary moment, lovin'every moment I was high from playing shows We lost a singer to her clothes My trouble raised its ugly head I was revealed And I was home in bed I was a kid again Jesus told me, go after every coin Like it was the last in the world And protect the wayward child But I'm a little lost sheep I need my Bo Peep I know I need My Shepherd here tonight Refrain Instrumental : I'd like to see you But really I should stay away And let you settle down I've got no claims to your crown I was the boss of you And I loved you You know I loved you It's all over now And I was there for you When you were lonely I was there when you were bad I was there when you were sad Now it's my time of need I'm thinking, do I have to plead To get you by my side ? Refrain (2x)

Cette chanson évoque des sentiments complexes de nostalgie et de solitude. Le narrateur exprime sa joie de retrouver une personne importante dans sa vie tout en ressentant une profonde tristesse à cause de leur séparation. Il se sent un peu perdu, réalisant que ses émotions sont souvent prises comme des signes alors qu'il cherche désespérément du réconfort. Le narrateur évoque aussi des souvenirs d'enfance et des rêves, mêlant des images de liberté et de désir de fuite. Il se rappelle de moments passés, tout en faisant face à la réalité de la solitude et du besoin d'être soutenu. Au final, il se rend compte que les choses ont changé et qu'il doit laisser l'autre avancer, même si cela lui fait mal.
