Carpet Man

Johnny Rivers

Transposer:

Carpet Man:Johnny Rivers. Album - Rewind..#14 in 1967. (Didn’t get much play..but in my opinion one  of his best.) INTRO: (x4) #1. When you see some mud up..on the ground.. you lay down so she don`t have to walk around.          You think that will protect her from the rain.. But you`ll never ever stop the pain.          CHORUS: She walks all over you she knows she can.. You`re the carpet man......you`re the carpet man.         #2. You take such care to keep that girl`s feet clean.. like she`s some ki..nd of figurine.         The world`s so far below her it`s not her scene.. she depends on you to stand between.       CHORUS: She walks all over you she knows she can.. You`re the carpet man......you`re the carpet man.        BRIDGE: I would think you`d get tired of hurting every now and then. It`s lonely down there that`s for certain and carpets do get thin. (x2) #3. And that`s when they have to be thrown a..way. That`s what she`ll say to herself some sunny day. And she`ll say ’Come to my wedding’ and of course you do. And the Groom and her will have a dance on you.         CHORUS: And they’ll Waltz all over you they know they can.. You`re the carpet man.......you`re the carpet man.    (x2) OUTRO: You`re the carpet man......you`re the carpet man. (x3)(Fade.) A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.

La chanson décrit une dynamique déséquilibrée dans une relation où l'un des partenaires se sacrifie constamment pour protéger l'autre, allant jusqu'à s'aplatir pour la garder à l'abri. Ce personnage, qui s'efforce de rendre la vie de son amante aussi facile que possible, réalise finalement qu'il se transforme en une sorte de paillasson, au point qu'elle profite de sa gentillesse sans jamais penser à lui. Au fur et à mesure que la relation évolue, il sait qu'il finira par être oublié, remplacé par un autre dont elle célébrera l’union sans tenir compte de tous les sacrifices précédents. C'est une réflexion sur le renoncement et l'illusion des relations unilatérales.
