Living In Paradise

Elvis Costello

Transposer:

Living In Paradise [Intro] D G x4 I don’t like those other guys looking at your curves.        I don’t like you walking round with physical jerks.        Ev’rything they say and do is getting on my nerves.        Soon they will be lucky to be picking up the perks.     ’Cause when they pull the shutters down and throw up in the dark they’ll find out that all the dogs outside bite much worse than they bark. Here we are living in paradise living in luxury. Oh the  the thrill is here but it won’t last long. You better   have your fun before it   moves along. And you’re   already looking for another   a fool like me. I call you Betty Felon ’cause you are a pretty villain. And I think that I should tell them that you’d make a pretty killing. ’Cause meanwhile up in heaven they are waiting at the gate                                                                               Saying "We’ always knew you’ make it didn’t think you’ come this late" And now it’s much too dangerous to stop what you’ve begun When everyone in paradise carries a gun Here we are living in paradise living in luxury. Oh the  the thrill is here but it won’t last long. You better   have your fun before it   moves along. And you’re   already looking for another   a fool like me. Later in the evening when arrangements are made   I’ll be at the keyhole outside your bedroom door ’Cause I’m the first to know whenever the plans are laid   That never go further than floor to floor   You think that I don’t know the boy that you’re touching But I’ll be at the video and I will be watching Here we are living in paradise Here we are living in paradise Here we are living in paradise Here we are living in paradise living in luxury Oh the  the thrill is here but it won’t last long. You better   have your fun before it   moves along. And you’re   already looking for another   a fool like me And you’re   already looking for another   a fool like me. (repeat to fade)

La chanson évoque les tensions et les jalousies qui découlent d'une relation complexe. L'interprète exprime son mécontentement face à d'autres hommes qui s'intéressent à la femme qu'il aime, tout en mettant en avant l'illusion d'une vie idyllique qui cache des dangers et des désillusions. Il constate que même dans ce cadre paradisiaque, les rivalités et les tromperies règnent en maître. Le contexte de ce morceau pourrait être celui d'une société où le luxe et le plaisir sont omniprésents, mais où la superficialité ronge les relations. Il évoque un sentiment de vulnérabilité dans ce qui semble être un véritable bonheur, rappelant que derrière les apparences, les choses ne sont pas toujours aussi simples qu'elles semblent.
