The Wives Are In Connecticut

Carly Simon

Transposer:

[Intro] x4 [Verse 1] He figures out a restaurant where they won’t be recognized He can always slip the maitre’d a ten Get a private little table and try her on for size Make a plan of where to do it when He’s so sly he’s in love with his lies [Chorus 1] And the wives the wives are in Connecticut The wives the wives are in Connecticut Trying to forget it that they really do regret it That they moved up to Connecticut That they moved up to Connecticut Movin’ up movin’ up {Verse 2] The first year I was faithful he confesses to the girl Admitting to the least of his sins His candour so disarming in this wicked city world She falls for it and once again he wins He’s so sly he’s in love with his lies [Chorus 2] And the wives the wives are in Connecticut The wives the wives are in Connecticut Trying to forget it that they really do regret it That they moved up to Connecticut That they moved up to Connecticut That they moved up to Connecticut Movin’ up movin’ up movin’ up movin’ up [Interlude] [Bridge] The five flight walk up can he make it? He keeps promising to go back to the gym He thinks about his wife so passionate last night but was she really feeling it for him? Or was it junior’s teacher? Or the carpenter who put up the shelves Or the mechanic who fixed the wagon Or the gardener who dug the well Or the Italian riding instructor Or the man on the Carousel (man on the carousel) Or the out of work actor in Westport (man on the carousel) Or the surgeon who cured the elms (man on the carousel) Or the Yalie from New Haven (man on the carousel) Or the farmer in the Dell (man on the carousel) [Chorus 3] Oh the wives the wives are in Connecticut The wives the wives are in Connecticut Trying to forget it that they really do regret it That they moved up to Connecticut That they moved up to Connecticut That they moved up to Connecticut That they moved up to Connecticut Movin’ up movin’ up movin’ up movin’ up [Outro] How bout the lifeguard at the yacht club? The hairdresser from New London The tennis pro from Fairfield The Fuller Brush man from Bristol The fisherman from Mystic The novelist from New Canaan The usher at the movie theater The architect from Guilford The man on the carousel (man on the carousel) The man on the carousel (man on the carousel) The man on the carousel (man on the carousel) The man on the carousel (man on the carousel) The man on the carousel (man on the carousel)...

Dans cette chanson, on évoque la vie des femmes qui se retrouvent dans le Connecticut, se débattant avec leurs regrets suite à des décisions de vie qui semblent les enfermer dans une routine insatisfaisante. Elles tentent d'oublier les déceptions de leur quotidien, en particulier les trahisons et mensonges qui les entourent, notamment ceux de leurs maris. Le narrateur décrit un homme qui jongle habilement entre son épouse et ses conquêtes, mettant en lumière l'illusion que certains tentent de maintenir dans un environnement où la superficialité et les secrets deviennent des normes. Il en résulte un tableau où ces femmes, bien que physiquement présentes, se sentent piégées dans des choix qu'elles ne peuvent changer.
