Tracy Chapman wurde am 30. März 46 Jahre alt und versüßt uns den heutigen Samstagabend mit ihrem sanften Revolutions-Sound.
Songtext nach dem Sprung
Talkin‘ Bout A Revolution
Don’t you know you’re talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don’t you know they’re talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
While they’re standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don’t you know you’re talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people are gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people are gonna rise up
And take what’s theirs
Don’t you know you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution oh no
While they’re standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don’t you know you’re talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution
Finally the tables are starting to turn
Talking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution oh no
Talking about a revolution oh no
….immer wieder toll! :-)
Ich hatte das Glück, sie 2006 (glaube ich) live zu sehen. Unglaublich war das!
Leider (und zum Glück) bleibt das wohl ein Wunschtraum. Eine so sanfte Revolution wie dieses Lied wäre echt klasse.
