Side Of Fries

Kate & Anna McGarrigle

Transposer:

Intro verse 1 I was walking down the street one day And my mind was in a slide When this well-dressed all-dressed hot dog said ?French fries on the side? He was golden brown and about six feet long His bun was toasted fast As he turned away he did remark ?Frankfurts built to last? Well my momma didn?t tell me And my poppa didn?t say This world?s a busy place And time just wastes away Brother didn?t happen And sister never stayed Momma hardly opened And Poppa never played verse 2 Once I came home with a brand new suit And a charge account to boot There was a Chevrolet sitting on the couch With a Cadillac ready to toot After drinks and conversation too ?Bout the meaning of inner need Said you?re a man for real Yes it?s a deal Satisfaction?s guaranteed Well my momma didn?t tell me And my poppa didn?t say This world?s a busy place And time just wastes away Brother didn?t happen And sister never stayed Momma hardly opened And Poppa never played Instrumental Well my momma didn?t tell me And my poppa didn?t say This world?s a busy place And time just wastes away Brother didn?t happen And sister never stayed Momma hardly opened And Poppa never played verse 3 I was lying on my desk at ease Cancelling the afternoon When the door swung open to a fruit of the loom Screaming ?Smoke me to the moon? He was a xenophobe with a .38 Besides a ruptured spleen But I kept my cool as he slowly drooled Only Brand X cleans to clean Well my momma didn?t tell me And my poppa didn?t say This world?s a busy place And time just wastes away Brother didn?t happen And sister never stayed Momma hardly opened And Pappa never played

La chanson évoque le quotidien et les déceptions à travers des rencontres étranges et des réflexions sur la vie. L'histoire commence par une promenade où le narrateur croise un hot dog bien en vue, symbole de la superficialité de ce monde occupé. Il semble que les parents n'aient pas fourni les conseils nécessaires pour naviguer dans cette existence, marquée par la solitude et l'absence de véritables relations familiales. Les paroles décrivent aussi des aspirations à la réussite matérielle, illustrées par l'arrivée d'une voiture de luxe, mais cela ne comble pas les véritables besoins intérieurs. L'ambiance est teintée d'ironie, montrant que malgré les promesses de satisfaction et de réussite, rien ne remplace les liens et l'authenticité. Au fil des rencontres inattendues, comme celle avec un personnage plus menaçant, le narrateur garde son calme face à la confusion que lui impose ce monde. L'ensemble nous rappelle que, malgré les distractions et les ambitions, il est essentiel de se souvenir de l’importance des relations humaines et de la paix intérieure.
