Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World

"The Man Who Sold The World", chantée ici par Nirvana, était une chanson de David Bowie, inspirée du poème "Antigonish" de William Hughes Mearns :

"Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away..."

LIEN vers le poème.

Les paroles de la chanson :

We passed upon the stair, we spoke in was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise, I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for a foreign land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare, we walked a million hills
I must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? Not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World
