Marsheaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end
I'll always be there
And when you're in doubt
And when you're in danger
Take a look all around
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will
When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out
With no gripe to bear
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will
I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will...
I will...
I will...
I will

Line by Line Meaning
If you need a friend
When you are in need of a friend
Don't look to a stranger
Avoid seeking friendship from unfamiliar people
You know in the end
Ultimately
I'll always be there
I will always be available
And when you're in doubt
During moments of uncertainty
And when you're in danger
During times of danger
Take a look all around
Observe your surroundings
And I'll be there
I will be present
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say (I promise)
I apologize, but I am considering the best words to express what I want to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise)
I am aware that my words may not come out as intended
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
If you give me time, I can make you develop feelings for me
When your day is through
At the end of your day
And so is your temper
When your anger has dissipated
You know what to do
You understand what needs to be done
I'm gonna always be there
I will always be present
Sometimes if I shout
Occasionally, if I raise my voice
It's not what's intended
It may not be my intention
These words just come out
The words were involuntarily expressed
With no gripe to bear
Without any resentment
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
Even if I had to go through great lengths, I can make you develop feelings for me
I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...
I have to inform you, convey of a necessary message, I need to inform you, I must inform you
I promise, I promise you I will
I assure you, I assure you that I will
I will...
I will

Ce groupe est génial! Je les ai découverts via leur reprise de l'album "A broken frame" de Depeche Mode. J'ai appelé mon disquaire mais malheureusement l'album n'est plus disponible. Je mettrai bien la main sur d'autres albums de ce groupe. Avant ça, ce furent "Ladytron" et "La femme" que je découvris.
