What Kind Of People Live In These Houses

Morrissey

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] What kind of people live in these houses? What kind of sad dad Scratches in this crash-pad? T-shirts or blouses? Torn jeans or trousers? What kind of people live in these houses? T-shirts or blouses? Torn jeans or proper trousers? They vote the way they vote They don’t know how to change Because their parents did the same [Verse 2] And where will they be ten years from today? Bed-sitter bed-wetter? Or penthouse go-getter? What carpet-chewer Lights up this sewer? And which rough trade strangers Flail around these chambers? And what dented gent Bends over in this tent? They sleep with who they sleep with Only because they are afraid to taste change [Verse 3] And where will they be ten years from today? Dogface in a duplex? Boisterous in cloisters? Grabbing in a cabin Or squatting on your quarters oh Sat home and folksy Smelling in their dwelling They look at television thinking it’s their window to the world They look at television thinking it’s their window to the world That’s got to hurt Who cares what people live in these houses?

La chanson explore les vies des personnes qui habitent dans des maisons anonymes, en s'interrogeant sur leurs choix de vie et leur capacité à changer. Elle évoque un cycle de conformisme, où ceux qui vivent dans ces espaces semblent prisonniers d'un mode de vie hérité de leurs parents. On s'interroge sur leur avenir, s'ils resteront figés dans leur quotidien ou s'ils aspireront à davantage. Les références à la télévision comme fenêtre sur le monde soulignent une forme d'illusion, où les gens se contentent d'une vision limitée de la réalité. Tout cela met en lumière une certaine mélancolie et une défiance face au changement.
