Jigsaw Puzzle

The Rolling Stones

Transposer:

There's a tramp sitting on my doorstep Trying to waste his time With his mentholated sandwich He's a walking clothes line And here comes the bishop's daughter On the other side And she looks a trifle jealous She's been an outcast all her life Me I'm waiting so patiently Lying on the floor I'm just tryin' to do my jigsaw puzzle Before it rains anymore Oh the ganster looks so frightening With his blue gun in his hand When he gets home to his children He's a family man When it comes to the minnie grinnies He can shove in his knife Yes he really looks quite religious He's been an outlaw all his life Me I'm waiting so patiently Lying on the floor I'm just tryin' to do my jigsaw puzzle Before it rains anymore Me I'm waiting so patiently Lying on the floor I'm just tryin' to do my jigsaw puzzle Before it rains anymore Oh the singer looks angry At being thrown to the lions And the base player he looks nervous About the girls outside And the drummer he is so shattered Trying to keep on time And the guitar players look damaged They have been outcasts all their lives Me I'm waiting so patiently Lying on the floor I'm just tryin' to do my jigsaw puzzle Before it rains anymore Oh there are twenty thousand grandma s Waving hankies in the air Throwing up their pensions And shouting it s not fair There is a reggiment of soldiers Standing looking on And the Queen is bravelly shouting What the hell is going on With a blood curling Tally-hoo She charged in to the ranks And blasted all those Grandmas Whith their dieing breath screamed thanks Me I'm waiting so patiently Lying on the floor I'm just tryin' to do my jigsaw puzzle Before it rains anymore

La chanson évoque une scène où différents personnages se croisent, chacun avec ses propres luttes et contradictions. Un vagabond, assis devant la porte, semble être en pleine errance tandis qu'il mange son sandwich. De l'autre côté, la fille de l’évêque, qui a vécu comme une paria, l'observe avec un soupçon de jalousie. Le narrateur, quant à lui, est allongé par terre, cherchant à résoudre son puzzle, une métaphore de sa vie, alors qu'il attend que la pluie cesse. Le contexte souligne les inégalités sociales, mettant en lumière le contraste entre ces personnages : le gangster, le chanteur en détresse, et les grands-mères se battant pour leur dignité. À travers ces portraits, nous découvrons la complexité de l'existence humaine, où chacun tente de trouver sa place malgré les chaos environnants.
