Heads Were Dancing

Kate Bush

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1]      You talked me into the game of chance It was thirty-nine before the music started When you walked up to me and you said Hey heads we dance Well I didn’t know who you were Until I saw the morning paper [Verse 2] There was a picture of you A picture of you   ’cross the front page It looked just like you just like you   in every way But it couldn’t be true It couldn’t be true   You stepped out of a stranger [Verse 3]    They say that the Devil is a charming man    And just like you I bet he can dance And he is coming up behind in his long Tailed black coat dance All tails in the air But the penny landed with its head dancing [Verse 4]    A picture of you    a picture of you   in uniform Standing with your head held high Hot down to the floor But it couldn’t be you It could not be you   It’s a picture of Hitler [Chorus] He go do-do-do-do-do He go do-do-do-do-do He go do-do-do-do-do Do you want to dance? Well I couldn’t see what was to be So I just stood there laughing [Verse 5]    A picture of you    a picture of you   in uniform Standing with your head held high Hot down to the floor But it couldn’t be you It couldn’t be you   It’s a picture of Hitler [Bridge] He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh He go mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Heads we’re dancing Do-do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do-do Do-do-do-do-do Do you wanna dance? Ahh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Ahh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Ahh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Heads we’re dancing Do-do-do-do-do He go do-do-do-do-do He go do-do-do-do-do Do you wanna dance? Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Heads we’re dancing Do-do-do-do-do Do you wanna dance?               Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh Heads we’re dancing             [Outro] Do-do-do-do-do Do you wanna dance?

Dans cette chanson, l'auteur raconte une rencontre intrigante où la danse devient un symbole d'attirance et de mystère. L'interlocuteur, charmeur, échappe à tout contrôle, et tout bascule lorsque l'image d'une figure historique menaçante, en l'occurrence Hitler, fait surface. Cela suggère un mélange d'euphorie et de danger, et on ressent l’ambivalence entre l’attrait de la danse et les dangers cachés derrière certains personnages séduisants. Le contexte peut faire écho à des thèmes plus larges de manipulation et d'influence, illustrant comment le charme et le pouvoir peuvent attirer, mais aussi tromper. Cette métaphore de la danse évoque à la fois une célébration et une mise en garde, presque comme un rappel que derrière les apparences se cachent parfois des vérités troublantes.
