Les paroles de la chanson
« Jackie cane »
Hooverphonic
Jackie cane was everybody’s sugar
She gave it all wherever it took her
They used her up before the sell-by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake
The only flower in a concrete garden
Destined to be the rock that wouldn’t harden
Jackie cane was everybody’s sugar
She’d melt away if only she could of
Taken for granted
Abused and drained
They ran her dry and
Then it never rained
She was the queen
Of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the after-taste was sour
Salty days for jackie cane
The Magnificent Tree
Bought this guitar
At a shop called mars
But on the way back home
Strange things happened in my car
Started to play
All by itself
Creatures jumped from
The highest shelf
Until I touched string 12
This magnificent tree
Appeared in my mind
Even without leaves
It’s strength was divine
Synthesized gnomes
Penetrated this godly zone
Summer was thrown off
It’s royal thrown
This magnificent tree
Appeared in my mind
Even without leaves
It’s strength was divine
She gave it all wherever it took her
They used her up before the sell-by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake
The only flower in a concrete garden
Destined to be the rock that wouldn’t harden
Jackie cane was everybody’s sugar
She’d melt away if only she could of
Taken for granted
Abused and drained
They ran her dry and
Then it never rained
She was the queen
Of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the after-taste was sour
Salty days for jackie cane
The Magnificent Tree
Bought this guitar
At a shop called mars
But on the way back home
Strange things happened in my car
Started to play
All by itself
Creatures jumped from
The highest shelf
Until I touched string 12
This magnificent tree
Appeared in my mind
Even without leaves
It’s strength was divine
Synthesized gnomes
Penetrated this godly zone
Summer was thrown off
It’s royal thrown
This magnificent tree
Appeared in my mind
Even without leaves
It’s strength was divine
