Little Jack

Velvet Underground

Transposer:

Intro: x3 I was raised in better days mostly by myself No-one ever took the time or was inclined to help Mother dear she was never near she left me to the street A little boy who was not too tall with dirty hands and feet Little old jack you best stay back susie keep away No my life was lily-white it’s all I heard them say Hey hey A x3 Now I’m grown I’m on my own running free and wild Not inclined to be entwined with a mrs and a child No my dear it may seem queer it keeps me in the black Should you depart to break my heart don’t bother looking back Little old jack you best stay back susie keep away No my life was lily-white it’s all I heard them say Hey hey... Get in! A x3 Now I’m grown I’m on my own running free and wild Not inclined to be entwined with a mrs and a child No my dear it may seem queer it keeps me in the black Should you depart to break my heart don’t bother looking back Little old jack you best stay back susie keep away No my life was lily-white it’s all I heard them say Hey hey... Oh Little old jack you best stay back susie keep away No my life was lily-white it’s all I heard them say Little old jack you best stay back susie keep away Little old jack you best stay back it’s all I heard them say Oh... Little old jack you best stay back susie keep away Little old jack you best stay back it’s all I heard them say

Cette chanson évoque l'expérience d'un jeune garçon qui a grandi dans l'isolement et la précarité, sans le soutien d'une famille aimante. Se retrouvant souvent seul, il exprime sa méfiance envers les relations et l'attachement, préférant jouir de sa liberté plutôt que de s'enliser dans les complications de la vie familiale. Avec une touche de lucidité, il souligne que le regard des autres sur sa vie n'est pas nécessairement pertinent. Le contexte semble refléter les luttes personnelles et les choix de vie d'une personne qui a appris à se débrouiller seule, défiant les attentes sociales. Il s'agit d'un regard introspectif sur la solitude choisie et les conséquences émotionnelles qui en découlent.
