The Stranglers

Transposer:

This is the version that Hugh Cornwell performs acoustically listen for the strumming pattern and breaks Standard Tuning ( ) [Intro] [Verse 1] I met a roach in America his family had a massive tree They live just about everywhere he was big in America He was big in America I met a vet in America he was alive he was in overdrive He’d just been around everywhere he was big in America He was big in America [Chorus] And when you’re big in America you like to live in America You won’t be on your own And since you’re big in America You might as well make America your home N.C. G Big in America [Break] [Verse 2] I met a girl in America she wore the pants ’cross a big expanse She was whippin’ men everywhere she was big in America She was big in America I met a car in America the bumper hit lucky I was fit I was limping ’round everywhere it was big in America It was big in America [Chorus] And when you’re big in America you like to live in America You won’t be on your own And since you’re big in America You might as well make America your home Big in America big in America Big in America big in America [Outro] repeat until fade.

Cette chanson évoque des rencontres variées faites en Amérique, mettant en lumière des personnages singuliers qui semblent tous avoir une certaine importance dans leur environnement. On y croise un cafard qui se distingue par sa présence imposante, un vétéran plein de vitalité et une femme qui exerce une influence marquée sur les hommes autour d'elle. À travers ces portraits, l'idée que vivre en Amérique peut apporter un sentiment d'appartenance et de reconnaissance se dégage, suggérant que ceux qui réussissent peuvent s'y établir pleinement. L'ensemble souligne une sorte de rêve américain, où la taille et l'impact d'une personne sont valorisés.
