Shoes Without Heels

Elvis Costello

Transposer:

[Verse 1] This love of mine is packed with stepping stone These shoes are made for walking in reverse   At the dead of night you tiptoe out and leave me all alone Putting on your satin slip-ons and your sultry French cologne. [Chorus] She’s wearing shoes without heels. She’s walking over the floor. She’s walking all over me From here to there you know how it feels When she walks right out of the door. [Verse 2] Well I thought that I was bigger than this town I thought I’d spend a pace and go the distance But she picked me out she used me up and then she put me down Now I’m driven til I’m crying or I’m dreaming ’til I drown. [Chorus] She’s wearing shoes without heels. She’s walking over the floor. She’s walking all over me From here to there you know how it feels When she walks right out of the door. [Bridge] While you’re busy packing underwear and other useless trinkets Spare a thought for worthless men who drag on women like they’re cigarettes ’Cause you watch you walk away from him While he gets down and deals Oh he’ll watch you walk away without heels [Verse 3] Oh you think that he’s a fool to tolerate All the liberty you cherish and you roughly take But to see your love turn slowly from indifference to hate Would hurt him more than any heart that you might care to break. [Chorus] She’s wearing shoes without heels. She’s walking over the floor. She’s walking all over you But when she’s finished I know what I’ll do When she walks right back through the door. [Outro]                              (2X)

Cette chanson évoque les tourments d'un homme abandonné par la femme qu'il aime, qui s'éclipse dans la nuit avec ses chaussures sans talons, symbolisant son absence de sentiments. Il se rend compte qu'il a été utilisé, passant de l'espoir à la déception, mais il reste attaché à l'idée que, malgré leur rupture, elle pourrait revenir un jour. Les images de pas légers et de moments intimes contrastent avec la douleur de son abandon, soulignant les complexités d'une relation où la liberté et l'indifférence se mêlent. Cette dynamique met en lumière la vulnérabilité des hommes face à des femmes qui semblent avoir le pouvoir de choisir et de partir sans scrupules.
