The Court

Peter Gabriel

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1]   You put your hand up you make your bid   You got your pictures all laid out in the grid   Look in the garden in the surface ground   Buried everything that you never want found [Chorus] And the court will rise While the pillars all fall [Verse 2]   We got the healer and the birthday cake   We got the real thing and we got the fake   You got the ladder but where is the snake?   How my body begins to wake [Chorus] And the court will rise While the pillars all fall [Verse 3]   You got the money goin’ up your nose   You got the data don’t control where it goes   But you have left it getting down to the bone   You’ve all your memories on your mobile phone [Chorus] And the court will rise While the pillars all fall [Bridge] Out of this sentence   The ball and the claw And all these pronouncements I can make up the voice of law Out in the market All our lives are on sale And the balls are drifting further apart Recovery cannot fail    [Verse 5] Got the things you need and they’re all in place Got the big shot barrister to keep my case Got my baby throwin’ up on a chocolate milk The black cat judge reaches for his silk [Chorus] And the court will rise While the pillars all fall [Verse 6]   We lost the line between the good and bad   We lost the line between the sane and the mad   Used to draw the line across the writing pad   The line of conscience that we never have had [Chorus] And the court will rise While the pillars all fall [Instrumental] [Outro]   So many are reaching for it So many reaching out for it (You know that justice is blind)   So many are reaching for it So many reaching out for it (You know that justice is blind)   So many looking out for it So many looking out for it (You know that justice is blind)

La chanson évoque des thèmes profonds, comme la justice, la vérité et les illusions qui nous entourent. Elle met en lumière les tensions entre ce que les gens affichent et la réalité qui se cache sous la surface. Les paroles parlent d'une cour qui se lève alors que les fondations s'effondrent, reflétant une sorte de désordre moral où les frontières entre le bien et le mal deviennent floues. On y voit des images de faux-semblants, d'épreuves personnelles et de désillusion face à un monde où les valeurs sont en jeu. Dans un contexte plus large, cela peut faire écho aux luttes contemporaines pour la justice sociale et la transparence, où chacun cherche sa place dans un système souvent perçu comme corrompu ou biaisé. La représentation d'une cour, symbolisant le jugement, souligne l'importance de se confronter à nos actions et d'interroger ce qui constitue réellement la justice.
