Transposer:

MAN WHO SPEAKS EVIL As recorded by Slade (From the 1972 Album SLAYED? - CD REISSUE BONUS TRACK) [Intro] [Verse 1] His mind is hurtsome with grief He sits and watches a grass or leaf He can tell when a new one grows he can And watches as maggots flee from the throat of a dead man [Verse 2] Across two seas he can hear And grabs your words before you speak them He hears the sound of drinking grass he does And the Arctic moves each gigantic load for his owner’s sake [Chorus] He’s a man who speaks evil He’s a man who is evil He looks at evil as a good thing He can speak evil he can hear evil He really really lives it [Bridge] He can feel that all his thoughts are changing That all his thoughts are changing by the hour He can feeeeeel [Interlude] [Verse 3] This man is hurtsome with grief He sits and watches a grass or leaf He talks to them all while they grow he does And wanders like a dog day thief Inside out and below you know [Chorus] He’s a man who speaks evil He’s a man who is evil He looks at evil as a good thing He can speak evil he can hear evil He really really lives it [Bridge] He can feel that all his thoughts are changing That all his thoughts are changing by the hour He can feeeeeel [Outro]

La chanson évoque un personnage sombre et tourmenté, obsédé par la douleur et la mort. Ce protagoniste semble avoir une connexion malsaine avec le monde qui l'entoure, observant la nature et les êtres vivants tout en percevant l‘énergie négative qui les entoure. Il interprète le mal d'une manière presque distordue, le voyant comme quelque chose de positif. À travers ses réflexions, il ressent un changement intérieur constant, comme si ses pensées étaient en lutte perpétuelle. Le contexte des années 1970, période marquée par des bouleversements sociaux et des questionnements existentiels, pourrait renforcer les thèmes de la chanson. L’artiste décrit ainsi le conflit entre la vie et la mort, la lumière et l’obscurité, en s’appuyant sur une imagerie puissante et troublante.
