Half Of Him

The Beautiful South

Transposer:

[Verse 1] Why forbidden fruit Always looks so sweet Hanging down like devil’s food From highest branch on tree [Chorus] Yes woman should be satisfied Be happy with her lot But sometimes half of him Seems better than the whole I’ve got Yes sometimes half of hell right here Is better than a heaven forgot [Verse 2] yield not to temptation Is only good advice If true love happens just the once And never ever twice [Chorus] Yes woman should be satisfied Be happy with her lot But sometimes half of him Seems better than the whole I’ve got Yes sometimes half of hell right here Is better than a heaven forgot [Verse 3] We were happy with happily ever after But only if the plot Had bad guys we could boo and hiss And good guys we could not [Bridge] We probably feel that second best Could actually be much worse But you’re kind of drawn to chocolate When you’ve tasted wafer first Yes you’re kind of drawn to chocolate When you’ve tasted wafer first [Verse 4] Hunt me down like your other prey Let your claws take hold If what I’ve chosen’s truly gray Make tiger black and gold [Chorus] Yes woman should be satisfied Be happy with her lot But sometimes half of him Seems better than the whole I’ve got Yes sometimes half of hell right here Is better than a heaven forgot [Verse 5] We were happy with happily ever after But only if the plot Had bad guys we could boo and hiss And good guys we could not [Bridge] We probably feel that second best Could actually be much worse But you’re kind of drawn to chocolate When you’ve tasted wafer first Yes you’re kind of drawn to chocolate When you’ve tasted wafer first [Verse 6] ’I can’t get no satisfaction’ So sang all the guys The biggest single breeding ground For a girls ’I will survive’ [Verse 7] We’ll be happy with happily ever after But only when the song Admits ’can’t get no satisfaction’ Wasn’t all our wrong We probably feel that second best Could actually be much worse But you’re kind of put off wafer When you’ve tasted chocolate first Yes you’re kinda put off wafer When you’ve tasted chocolate first [Coda] Why forbidden fruit always looks so sweet?

La chanson évoque les conflits internes d'une femme face à des désirs contradictoires. Elle explore l'idée que, parfois, une relation incomplète ou imparfaite peut sembler plus attirante que celle que l’on vit déjà. L’auteure souligne la tentation des plaisirs interdits et se demande si ce qui semble plus séduisant n'est pas toujours ce qui est meilleur pour nous. Au fond, elle questionne la notion de satisfaction et de bonheur, tout en faisant une analogie entre l'attrait pour des choix apparemment meilleurs et le goût pour des douceurs sucrées. Le contexte de la chanson pourrait s’apparenter aux enjeux des relations amoureuses à notre époque, où il est souvent difficile de trouver une pleine satisfaction dans un monde où l’herbe semble plus verte ailleurs. Elle aborde des thèmes universels comme la tentation, le regret et le désir d’évasion, tout en questionnant nos attentes et nos réalités personnelles.
