Chocolate Cake

Crowded House

Transposer:

[Verse 1] Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown I don’t know what tune that the orchestra played But it went by me sickly and sentimental [Chorus] Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Bakker’s got a lot on her plate Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave Am Em7 (x4) [Verse 2] The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek And the sugar that dripped from the violins’ bow Made the children go crazy put a hole in the tooth of a hag [Chorus] Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Bakker must be losing her faith yeah Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave [Bridge] And the dogs are on the road we’re all tempting fate Cars shooting by with no number plates And here comes Mrs Hairy Legs Am Em7 (x4) [Verse 3] I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257 The excess of fat on your American bones Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone [Chorus] Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Bakker Tammy Bakker Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Cheap Picasso cheap Picasso fake Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Kathy Straker boy could she lose some weight Can I buy another slice of real estate? Liberace must be laughing in his grave Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?

La chanson explore un mélange d'ironie et de satire sur la culture contemporaine et les excès de la vie moderne, particulièrement à New York. L'artiste interroge des figures emblématiques tout en peignant un tableau de désillusion au sujet de la quête de la réussite et du bonheur. Les références à des personnages comme Tammy Bakker ou Andy Warhol s'entremêlent avec des images de gourmandise et de superficialité, invitant à la réflexion sur les priorités et les valeurs en jeu. Avec son ton léger, la chanson évoque aussi les absurdités du quotidien, comme des scènes improbables d'Elvis sortant d'une supérette. Au fond, elle dépeint une société où la recherche de plaisirs éphémères semble prévaloir sur des aspirations plus authentiques, le tout enveloppé dans une ambiance musicale entraînante.
