Teenage Dad On His Estate

Morrissey

Transposer:

Intro: You chase in the rat race And you always feel so hollow You marry because it’s expected of you And it only makes you feel more lonely But still you look down on the teenage dad on on his estate He’s happy so leave him alone with his baby and his modest home He’s happy so leave him alone with his Jensen Interceptor It’s just a runaround You defer to the views of the television news Let someone do your thinking for you And you still buy a daily newspaper And you find everything there but the news And still you look down on the teenage dad on on his estate He’s happy so leave him alone with his baby and his modest home He’s happy so leave him alone with his Jensen Interceptor It’s just a runaround You become your parents parent And you love them but you can’t help feeling used And you hate the teenage dad on his estate Because he’s poor but he’s happier than you They’re all laughing at you You’re a dipper a slider cart-horse provider Nobody cares about you Just as long as you’re out there bringing it in Despising the grin on the face of the boy With the methadone ah with his methadone He’s happy so leave him alone ah with his methadone He’s happy so leave him alone Fade out with

Cette chanson aborde la vie d'un jeune père qui, malgré ses difficultés, trouve le bonheur dans sa simplicité et son rôle de parent. Le récit critique la société qui valorise les apparences et les attentes, tout en méprisant ceux qui vivent autrement. Le protagoniste, lui, est satisfait de son existence modeste, prenant soin de son enfant dans son petit chez-soi, loin des jugements extérieurs. Le contexte derrière cette réflexion semble être une critique des normes sociales et des stéréotypes qui entourent la parentalité, notamment chez les jeunes. L'artiste souligne le contraste entre la quête de réussite matérialiste et la véritable joie que l'on peut trouver dans des moments simples et authentiques, loin des contraintes de la vie moderne.
