Genesis

Transposer:

The intro is basically just like the first verse. (1) Like father like son Not flesh nor fish nor bone a red rag hangs from an open mouth Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle A-tumbling and a-bumbling he will go All the king’s horses and all the king’s men could never put a smile on that face (2)  follows the same pattern as (1) He’s a sly one he’s a shy one wouldn’t you be too? Scared to be left all on his own Hasn’t a hasn’t a friend to play with the ugly duckling The pressure on the bubble will burst before our eyes All the while in perfect time   his tears are falling on the ground But if you don’t stand up you don’t stand a chance! This is a "chorus" bit which comes after:    "...don’t stand a chance"    "...all to see at night"    "...you’d better watch out"    "...just a pool of tears"                                                                       (repeat) (no 3rd)                                   -5-5-5-5---4---5-|---2---3-3---------|-2-3-2-0----5-0----|---3------------- || -3-3-3-3---3---3-|---3---3-3---------|-3-3-3-2----2-2--3-|---3--3---------- || -2-2-2-2---4---5-|---2---4-4---------|-2-2-2-2----2-2--0-|---0--0----------*|| -0-0-0-0---0---0-|---0---0-0---------|-0-0-0-0----0-0--0-|---0--0----------*|| -----------------|-------------------|-------------------|----------------- || -----------------|-------------------|-------------------|----------------- || chance.                                                  you don’t stand a :|| tears.                                                   just a pool of tears out. night.                                                    They don’t have eyes   Bridge 1  The second time through the bit above the measure of the chord becomes in 5/4 time with a on the second half of beat 2. This only happens here leading into the first bridge.                                               4    Go a little faster now you might get there in time Mirror mirror on the wall                     his heart was broken long before he ever came to you Stop your tears from falling                   The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night all to see at night (to "chorus") (3)  like (1) In season out of season what’s the dff’rence when you don’t know the reason? In one hand bread the other a stone the hunter enters the forest All are not huntsmen who blow thw huntsman’s horn By the look of this one you’ve not got much to fear (4) Here I am I’m very firce and fright’ning Come to match my skill to yours Now listen here listen to me don’t you run away now I am a friend I’d really like to play with you Making noises my little furry friend would make I’ll trick him then I’ll kick him into my sack You’d better watch out you’d better watch out (to "chorus" no lyrics this time) Bridge 2   (just like bridge 1) I’ve got you I’ve got you you’ll never get away Walking home that night the sack across my back the sound of sobbing on my shoulder when suddenly it stopped I opened up the sack all that I had a pool of bubbles and tears just a pool of tears (to "chorus") Second time through chorus go up to an A chord on the second half of beat 2 (still in 4/4) then go to the ending Ending        All in all you are a very dying race Placing trust upon a cruel world You never had the things you thought you should have had and you’ll not get them now and all the while in perfect time your tears are falling on the ground Where this goes from there I’m not sure. I think there’s a after the   but again I’m not entirely sure. But this is the grand portion of Sqounk so don’t let a little thing like the ending stop you from enjoying it! -Chris

La chanson évoque le sentiment de solitude et de tristesse profonde d'un être qui se sent incompris et isolé. Ce personnage, à la fois farceur et timide, craint d'être abandonné et se retrouve sans ami avec qui partager ses peines. Malgré les efforts des autres pour l'aider, il reste prisonnier de sa douleur, symbolisée par des larmes qui tombent sans cesse. Le récit évoque une lutte entre l'espoir et la désillusion, où le protagoniste cherche un lien sincère, tout en étant conscient de sa vulnérabilité. Les images de la nature, de la chasse et des confrontations reflètent un monde cruel, où la douceur semble lointaine et les promesses de bonheur rarement tenues. C’est une réflexion poignante sur les défis de l’existence et les relations humaines.
