Song: Sicily Artist: Elliott Murphy Album: 12 Tabbed by: Javier de la Fuente Capo 3rd [Intro] [Verse] I was in Sicily reading Henry Miller You were in New York City you were getting thinner I was in discos I was listening to Madonna You were in sweat clothes looking like Jane Fonda One day I called you ’cause I couldn’t resist It cost me eighty bucks don’t think it was worth it This is the last thing I expected to be A broken hearted troubadour in sunny Sicily [Interlude] [Verse] The night was raining and my window was stuck My driver took the shore roads to avoid the heavy trucks While he was telling me about the Mafia I was thinking ’bout our wedding what the marriage done to you Feeling so lonely my esteem so low I find myself in Italy I’m singing in a disco This is the last thing I wanted to be A broken hearted troubadour in sunny Sicily [Instrumental] [Interlude] [Verse] Looking out my window I see the stars above I’m closer to Tunisia than to anyone I love I’ve seen the ruins of the Romans and the Emreeks Compared to my own empire they really look so neat Some say my songs are long and over complicated But they’re very personal I say they’re underrated This is the last thing I expected to be A broken hearted troubadour in sunny Sicily [Outro]

La chanson évoque un voyage personnel teinté de nostalgie et de désillusion. Le narrateur se retrouve en Sicile, loin de sa bien-aimée qu'il a perdue, évoquant des souvenirs de moments partagés tout en réalisant l'ampleur de sa solitude. Il navigue entre des images de fête et de joie, comme écouter Madonna dans des discothèques, et des réflexions plus sombres sur la vie, le mariage et les attentes déçues. Le contraste entre son existence actuelle, marquée par la mélancolie, et les souvenirs de bonheur passé crée un sentiment poignant d'irréalité. À travers le prisme de ses réflexions, il se rend compte que la réalité de sa vie ne correspond pas à ce qu'il avait espéré. La chanson se déroule dans un cadre où il contemple des paysages insulaires tout en étant confronté à ses propres luttes intérieures.
