The Loved Ones

Elvis Costello

Transposer:

[Intro]        [Verse 1] Don`t get smart or sarcastic He snaps back just like elastic Spare us the theatrics and the verbal gymnastics We break wise guys just like matchsticks [Chorus] What would the loved ones say (Your pride and joy is all blown up} What would the loved ones say (The bride and boy are barely grown up) [Verse 2] You`re not my particular poison I`ve got nothing against you myself You could have been a danger to the boys and girls Now you`re a danger to yourself [Chorus] Oh what would the loved ones say what would the loved ones say? Oh what would the loved ones say what would the loved ones say? [Verse 3] The ugly little scenes run round your head The ugly little dreams you get a needle and no thread They stiched you up this time They say you’ll do They bitch about your pretty face turning ugly on you. [Verse 4] The butcher the baker and the bassline maker Sayin’ you can leave her I can take her You spend your whole life like a minute or two later One day its going to end sooner than greater [Chorus] What would the loved ones say (He`ll be remembered young and pretty} What would the loved ones say (Now he`s a hit in every city) [Verse 5] Now there`s a name we’ll never forget There`s one born every minute or two Don’t pin a medal on me yet They might be waiting for you [Chorus] Oh what would the loved ones say what would the loved ones say? Oh what would the loved ones say what would the loved ones say? [Outro] PPS I l-o-v-e y-o-u PPS I l-o-v-e y-o-u PPS I l-o-v-e y-o-u PPS I l-o-v-e y-o-u

La chanson parle des conséquences des choix destructeurs et de la manière dont ces choix peuvent affecter ceux qui nous entourent. Elle évoque des relations, des préoccupations et la vulnérabilité humaine face à des situations dangereuses. En se concentrant sur le regard des proches, elle soulève la question de ce que les gens chers pensent vraiment lorsqu'ils voient quelqu'un s'auto-saboter, mélangeant tendresse et désespoir. Le contexte semble toucher à des thèmes universels comme l'innocence perdue et les luttes internes. On sent une critique sous-jacente de ceux qui échangent leur spiritualité ou leurs valeurs pour des plaisirs éphémères. À travers des images fortes, elle illustre le combat entre l'amour, la beauté et la déchéance. Cela rappelle que nos choix ne nous affectent pas seulement, mais qu'ils ont également des répercussions sur ceux qui nous aiment.
