Sitting In The Midday Sun

The Kinks

Transposer:

(Sung by The Tramp) [Intro] [Verse] I’m sitting by the side of a river Underneath the pale blue sky I’ve got no need to worry I’m in no hurry I’m looking at the world go by [Chorus] Just sitting in the midday sun Just soaking up that currant bun With no particular purpose or reason Sitting in the midday sun [Verse] Everybody say I’m lazy They all tell me get a job you slob I’d rather be a hobo walking round with nothing Than a rich man scared of losing all he’s got [Chorus] So I’m just sitting in the midday sun Just soaking up that currant bun Why should I have to give my reasons For sitting in the midday sun [Bridge] Oh look at all the ladies Looking their best in their summer dresses Oh sitting in the sun I’ve got no home I’ve got no money But who needs a job when it’s sunny. Wah Wah [Verse] I haven’t got a steady occupation And I can’t afford a telephone I haven’t got a stereo radio or video A mortgage overdraft a bank loan [Chorus] The only way that I can get my fun Is by sitting in the midday sun With no particular purpose or reason Sitting in the midday sun [Bridge] Oh listen to the people Say I’m a failure and I’ve got nothing Ah but if they would only see I’ve got my pride I’ve got no money But who needs a job when it’s sunny. Wah Wah [Verse] Everybody thinks I’m crazy And everybody says I’m dumb But when I see the people shouting at each other [Chorus] So I’m just sitting in the midday sun Just soaking up that currant bun With no particular purpose or reason Sitting in the midday sun

La chanson évoque un homme qui profite d’un moment de calme au bord d’une rivière, sans se soucier de l’agitation du monde qui l’entoure. Il refuse les attentes de la société qui lui reproche son mode de vie décontracté. Au lieu de courir après les biens matériels et le statut social, il choisit de vivre l’instant présent, savourant la chaleur du soleil et les plaisirs simples, sans aucun objectif précis. Le contraste est frappant entre son bonheur tranquille et les jugements des autres sur son apparemment mode de vie "paresseux". C’est une célébration de la liberté que l'on peut trouver dans l'absence de contraintes.
