Tabbed by:  Roger K. email:   Five Small Words - Elvis Costello (from "National Ransom") Intro:        (4x) Maybe you’ll recognize in time       Maybe one day you will discover      All the pain that lies behind        You and your unfortunate love    Somebody might be more Unsuitable and strange With eyes that offer everything    And are capable of danger             My mind turns over lies you told        Things said to your other lover        Sweet as they had been to me          You lay there telling them to each other      Now I stand outside the door My head is filled with phrases Inside someone’s calling out   Their voices rise in praises Five Small Words: "Don’t want you me anymore?" Five Small Words (well who is keeping score?) Coward that you are you would faithlessly implore "Baby please don’t leave me" "Why don’t you believe me?" "Why did you deceive me?"           It didn’t take some shiny dagger       Tattooed fingers grip and hone        I walked under some dark ladder       I heard your final loving moan         All your indiscretions are So merciful and   brief Genteel poison sprinkled on Your Spa--nish handkerchief Five Small Words: "Don’t you love me anymore?" Five Small Words (well who is keeping score?) The coward that you are you would faithlessly implore "Baby please don’t leave me" "Why don’t you believe me?" "Why did you deceive me?"          Maybe in time you’ll want me more         Accidentally like this .45         This .44              Outro:  [    (16x)]  ...

La chanson aborde les douleurs et les trahisons d'un amour malheureux. Elle évoque les mensonges et les promesses non tenues qui restent en tête, tandis qu'un cœur blessé se demande si l'autre éprouve encore des sentiments. Le protagoniste se trouve à l'extérieur, témoin de la complicité d'un autre avec l'être aimé, et ressent une profonde désillusion face à cette situation. Dans ce contexte amoureux tourmenté, le personnage se débat entre l'attachement et la souffrance, cherchant désespérément des réponses aux promesses brisées. La répétition des cinq mots montre une vulnérabilité poignante, reflétant l'angoisse de perdre quelqu'un qu’on aime. Les détails subtilement évoqués renforcent la tension de cette relation à la fois passionnée et destructrice.
