Hull Or Hell

Chumbawamba

Transposer:

CAPO V G C x2 Of larks trains windows and brooks The poet he writes it all down in his book Won’t meet your eye but he wants you to look In Hull or hell he lies In Hull or hell he lies Lambs in the winter and swans in the spring Children at play they’re like birds on the wing And the poet he writes that the sun seems to swing In Hull or hell he lies In Hull or hell he lies Away from the world and away from the page Hidden in corners the gathering of age Retreats to the wings where he once held the stage In Hull or hell he lies In Hull or hell he lies The dirt and the filth that we don’t get to see That’s eating his language away This yellow-eyed nastiness hides from the light of the day G C x2 Resenting the everyday growing so old Where winter once pictured as flowers in fold Turned frosty and bitter and weathered and cold In Hull or hell he lies In Hull or hell he lies ... (Repeat and fade) His housemaid she tried but the dirt grew so fast The darkest of colours he nailed to the mast Stuck in his ways like he’s stuck in the past

Cette chanson aborde la dualité entre la beauté et la dure réalité de la vie. D'un côté, il y a des images poétiques de la nature et de l'innocence infantile, évoquant un sentiment de chaleur et de tranquillité. De l'autre, elle révèle des aspects plus sombres, liés à la saleté et à la décadence, symbolisant un monde qui s'effondre et qui étouffe la créativité. Le poète se trouve piégé entre ces deux mondes, oscillant entre le désir de créer et la lutte contre des forces négatives qui altèrent son expression. Le contexte pourrait être lié aux luttes sociales et aux défis qui accompagnent la vie quotidienne. La chanson illustre comment le poids des réalités sociales peut obscurcir la beauté du monde, tout en soulignant la tension entre mémoire et désespoir dans un environnement parfois hostile.
