Les paroles de la chanson
« A'rebours »
Babyshambles

You sent for me
I was knock knock knocking on death’s door
You ignore, adore, a rebours me
You leave me washed up begging for more
If you really cared for me
Ah you’d let me be
You’d set me free
But what you robbed me of is my...
Oh is my liberty

The curtain was calling
You were there blewn away and a rebours
In the mirror bawling
If you want it so much you are gonna have it all
Ah if you really cared for me
Christ knows you’d let me be
You’d set me free
I’m too polite to say...

I defy you all
You know twice as much as nothing at all
It’s still nothing at all
I can defy us all
Tides are now turned and hammered it all
Hammered it all

Ah, no, ah no, ah no...

I’ve been running round this world too much, girl
Pretending not to see
What’s drilling me, it’s killing me

Oh no, I think I understand
What I misunderstood before
How your love gives me so much more
I am free again, I can see again..

But if I should fall
Would you vow today to pay tomorrow
The fucked off big debt I owe to sorrow...
Ah, oh... sorrow... sorrow...
Ah, oh... sorrow

Ah, no, ah no, ah no...



Demo Version

You sent for me
I came knock knock knocking upon death’s door
You ignore, adore, a rebours me
You always leave me washed up begging for more
If you really cared for me
Christ knows you’d let me be
You’d set me free

The curtain was calling
As the sun set on a distant shore
You were in the mirror bawling
If you want it so much you can have it all
But you’re saying you care for me
Well if you did you’d let me be, set me free
But what you robbed me of was my liberty

I defy you all
You know twice as much as nothing at all
It’s still nothing at all
I defy you all
I know ten times as much as ten times you all
It’s still nothing at all

You send for me
I came knock knock knocking upon death’s door
You ignore, adore, a rebours me
You leave me washed up begging for more
If you really cared for me
Well you’d leave me be, you’d set me free
Now you have my liberty

The curtain was calling
As the sun sets on a distant shore
The bad boys are brawling
If you want it so much you can have it all
If you say you care for me
Can’t you see
If you’d let me be
I’m too polite to say fuck off

I defy you all
I know twice as much as ten times you all
