Dire Straits

Transposer:

Intro Verse I woke up this morning my Jacuzzi wouldn’t work Then the butler quit on me man can you believe it? Jerk! Must’ve been my artistic temperament he couldn’t take How come nobody wants to give me a break? I got the blues right there mean and low I’m as low as the heels of my alligator shoes You should know how it feels        to have these millionaire blues     Millionaire blues                   Verse Well I found one of my bathrooms and I made it to the sink I called one of my managers up and I poured myself a drink Oh I swear I’d kill that little weasel if I could Mute    Checked myself in the mirror my hair was looking good but I had the blues right there mean and mean and mean and low As low as the heels on my alligator shoes You should know how it feels    to have these millionaire blues     Millionaire blues              Get down! Solo (played over verse and Chorus chords) Verse Well so much for breakfast I couldn’t face lunch I thought I’d raise my spirits with a little champagne brunch I take the Lamborghini the flunky parks the car Mute    Can you believe it man this other monkey won’t let me in the bar! I said I said ’Don’t you know who I am man?’ And he says ’No’ no! Can you believe it? I’m as low as the heels of these alligator shoes You should know how it feels... to have these millionaire blues     Millionaire blues... to have these millionaire blues     Millionaire blues              Outro Bad bad! That’s bad! Yeah. So hard. It’s hard sometimes for a boy. Ah I like that! That’s good. Get down! You’re making a very big mistake man Oh yeah You’ll never work in this town again All right

La chanson parle des déceptions et des frustrations cachées derrière la vie fastueuse d’une personne riche. Malgré son succès et son statut, le protagoniste se sent malheureux et incompris, faisant face à des petits tracas quotidiens qui semblent insignifiants, mais qui aggravent son état d'esprit. Il exprime un sentiment de solitude et de désillusion, rappelant que l'argent ne garantit pas le bonheur. Le contexte de cette chanson évoque une vie où le luxe ne suffit pas à combler les névroses et les difficultés personnelles. C'est un regard ironique sur la célébrité, où l’apparente splendeur masque des luttes internes et des désagréments quotidiens.
