about

Il y a quelques années, j'avais enregistré comme cadeau d'anniversaire pour mon amie Karin, une chanson du groupe Elbow qu'elle affectionne tout particulièrement.
Ça s'appelle "Switching off".
Je suis retombé là-dessus il y a peu de temps, et j'ai décidé de la partager avec vous (avec son accord, bien sûr! :) ).

lyrics

Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
And a final scene unfolds inside
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
Love's first blush
Is this making sense?
What am I trying to say?
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final thoughts today
Switching off with you
All the clocks give in
And the traffic fades
And the insects like a neon choir
The instant fizz
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
In time
With you
You, the only sense the world has ever made
Early evening June
This room and radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today
Switching off
Ran to ground for a while there
But I came off pretty well
You, the only sense the world has ever made
This I need to save
A simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you
