Warm House And An Hour Of Joy

Elvis Costello

Transposer:

WARM HOUSE (AND AN HOUR OF JOY) As recorded by Elvis Costello & Rusty (From the 2022 EP THE RESURRECTION OF RUST) [Intro] [Verse 1] Bitterly and I went to the door Hoping cheering on a brief light I know It never glows Still as long as I walked outside Turning the corner and out of sight If I were to be honest it’s really not that bad Do I try to be sad? (Do I try to be sad?) Break the rules and I might smile tonight [Chorus] And warm house blows cold out As I step once more for home Warm house blows cold out And it’s so rare to be alone [Verse 2] There’s a man out on the floor and he’s fallen from blows Well I’m not even sure if he was just a drunken dreamer Drunken dreamer I don’t know Dreaming of the promised land But he doesn’t see below Did he run from his sight to the side of the night That came into your possession? As I slip down the street of the shining light Does my head keep my feet’s succession? [Bridge] Is that your last word? I do not really Make your reply heard Will you pray so dearly for an hour of joy? And I’m running running running Running running running running Running running running running running away [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] And warm house though blows cold out As I step once more for home Warm house though blows cold out And it’s so rare to alone [Refrain] And I’m running running running running Running running running running Running running running running [Outro] I turn my eyes from the sights I see And I need the change to frighten me And I’m running running running running Running running running running Running running running running In a warm house blows cold out As I step once more for home

La chanson évoque un cheminement personnel marqué par des réflexions sur la solitude et l'aspiration à un refuge chaleureux. Le narrateur se sent tiraillé entre la nostalgie d'un foyer où règne la chaleur et la réalité d'une existence souvent froide et solitaire. Il observe des scènes de vie autour de lui, comme un homme tombé, symbole des luttes que l'on peut rencontrer, circoncis dans ses rêves et ses illusions. Malgré cette mélancolie, il exprime un désir de transformation et de bonheur, se demandant s'il est vraiment capable d'accueillir la joie dans sa vie. Le contexte se situe dans un monde moderne où les relations sont souvent superficielles, et l'individu se débat avec ses émotions tout en cherchant désespérément un moment de bonheur authentique. Ce contraste entre le refuge rêvé et la réalité extérieure illustre la quête universelle de sens et de réconfort.
