Mary Jo

Belle & Sebastian

Transposer:

Mary Jo, sitting alone Drinking tea, on her own She wants...I don't know what you want Mary Jo, living alone Drinking gin the telly's on She Wants The night to follow day and back again She doesn't want to sleep Well who could blame her if she wants ? The night to follow day and back again She doesn't want to sleep Well who could blame her, if she sleeps ? Well who could blame her, if she sleeps ? Well who could blame her, if she's sleeping ? Mary Jo, back with yourself For company, keep telling yourself you're young It'll happen soon Mary Jo, no one can see What you've been through Now you've got love to burn It's someone else's turn to go through Hell Now you can see them come from fifty yards Yeah you can tell It's someone else's turn to take a fall And now you are the one who's strong enough to help them The one who's strong enough to help them The one who's strong enough to help them all Mary Jo, you're looking thin You're reading a book, "The State I Am In" But oh, it doesn't help at all What you want is a cigarette And a thespian with a caravanette in Hull your life is never dull in your dreams A pity that it never seems to work the way you see it Your Life is never dull in your head A sorry tale of action and the men you left for Women, and the men you left for Intrigue, and the men you left for dead.

Dans cette chanson, on suit une femme qui passe du temps seule chez elle, tantôt en buvant du thé, tantôt en sirotant un gin, tout en regardant la télévision. Elle semble perdue, cherchant ce qu’elle désire réellement, mais tout indique qu’elle aspire à plus de connexion et à échapper à la solitude. Mary Jo, bien que fragile, démontre aussi une force intérieure qui lui permet d’aider ceux qui l’entourent après avoir connu ses propres épreuves. Le contexte actuel pourrait s'apparenter à celui de nombreuses personnes qui luttent avec des sentiments d’isolement et de quête de sens dans un monde qui semble souvent froid. Alors qu’elle traverse ses propres démons, il y a une lueur d’espoir dans sa capacité à se reconstruire et à tendre la main aux autres, soulignant ainsi la beauté des liens humains malgré les défis de la vie.
