Legal Boys

Elton John

Transposer:

[Verse 1] Your accountant called this morning There was springtime in his heart He couldn’t wait to tell me How he’d pulled our lives apa - art And the letter from your lawyer Lies unopened on the tray I may get around to reading it later today [Verse 2] Walking round the lonely rooms I see everything the same But suddenly it matters What was purchased in my na - me Whether this or that was paid for Belongs to me or you Can the seven years together be divided by two [Chorus] It says something for the legal boys But nothing much for us That all we had together Is so quickly ended thus The legal boys have won again And you and I have lost They can’t tell us how it happened But they’ll let us know the cost Oh they’ll let us know the cost oh yeah [Verse 2] There’s a lot I’d like to tell you But I can’t get past your guards I don’t speak their language And they hold all the ca - rds I would rather call you darling Than defendant in the case But lovers left here long ago And clients took their place [Chorus] It says something for the legal boys But nothing much for us That all we had together Is so quickly ended thus The legal boys have won again And you and I have lost They can’t tell us how it happened But they’ll let us know the cost Oh they’ll let us know the cost oh yeah

Cette chanson aborde la désillusion d’un couple qui se retrouve confronté à la désintégration de leur relation à cause de considérations légales. Le protagoniste réalise que tout ce qu'ils avaient construit ensemble est désormais en cours de déchirement, réduit à de simples questions de propriété et d’argent. Les sentiments profonds qu’ils partageaient semblent avoir été remplacés par des stratégies juridiques et des formalités froides. Le climat de la chanson évoque une mélancolie palpable alors que l’auteur explore la distance émotionnelle qui s'est installée, symbolisée par des avocats et des comptables qui prennent le relais des sentiments. Cela met en lumière la triste réalité où l'amour est mis de côté pour laisser place à des préoccupations matérielles, soulignant ainsi la lutte entre l’affectif et le légal.
