The Guess Who

Transposer:

[Intro] Show biz train baby won’t you climb on board Show biz train baby won’t you climb on board [Verse 1] Is your manager managin’ to manage for the best Or is he makin’ out fine for himself Does your record label bring you in with trumpets and horns Just to pack you back away on the shelf Is your lawyer lyin’ to you do you really want to know As your agent waiting home for his pay pay pay Welcome one and all now to show show business Wouldn’t have it any other way Welcome one and all now to show show business Wouldn’t have it any other way [Verse 2] Got some people linin’ up for seven days before you come But then your house is full of empty chairs Are you findin’ self-importance in the things that you’ve done You’re findin’ out that no one really cares Do the people buy your records do they play them on the air But the warehouse must be where they stay Welcome one and all now to show show business Wouldn’t have it any other way Welcome one and all now to show show business Wouldn’t have it any other way [Instrumental Solo] [Chorus] Show biz train baby won’t you climb on board Show biz train baby won’t you climb on board [Bridge] Well have you ever had an aardvark sandwich Have you ever had a seagull stew I had a pet pitiful penguin and I made him watch the six o’clock news And shine my shoes I got the "help preserve ’ don’t deserve ’ try and serve ’ love ’ all" blues Well have you ever seen a Madras monkey Have you ever seen an Orlon eel I had a pet pitiful parrot and I taught him how to pick and choose drink my booze I got the "help preserve ’ don’t deserve ’ try and serve ’ love ’ all" blues Just keepin’ track of where things are all goin’ Baby just keepin’ track Just keepin’ track of where things are all goin’ Baby just keepin’ track Housefly tell me what you’re thinkin’ ’bout Housefly tryin’ to really sort it out Flyin’ head-on into the plate glass window Sniffin’ that DDT Dumb bird flyin’s comin’ slowly to you Dumb bird flyin’ isn’t holy to you Headin’ down South for the big celebration You got a ride for me (know what I’m tellin’ ya) [Chorus Fade] Show biz train baby won’t you climb on board

Cette chanson aborde les réalités du monde du show-business, soulevant des questions sur la gestion et les motivations des artistes qui tentent de naviguer dans cette industrie. Elle interroge l’honnêteté des différents acteurs qui entourent un artiste, comme les managers et les avocats, tout en mettant en lumière le décalage entre l’effervescence des attentes du public et la solitude qui peut découler du succès. Malgré l’apparente popularité, l'artiste découvre souvent que les choses ne sont pas aussi glorieuses qu'elles en ont l'air, avec des succès qui finissent souvent oubliés. Le contexte de cette chanson reflète certainement les défis souvent invisibles auxquels font face ceux qui évoluent dans le monde de la musique et du spectacle, où la façade de la réussite masque une réalité parfois bien plus difficile à vivre.
