#4 Les lyrics du jeudi /// Adam Green


Adam Green - Jessica (from Friends Of Mine)


Adam Green est cynique. Il est rancunier, il est drôle.
Lundi dernier, on vous parlait de son nouvel album, plus sérieux, avec la chanson Boss Inside.
Petit retour en arrière sur l'époque de l'album Friends Of Mine, le plus piquant, le plus drôle.
Focus sur Jessica, une chanson sympathiquement vexante et humiliante, dédiée à la célebrissime chanteuse et actrice de génie Jessica Simpson.

Explications d'Adam Green:

"Well, about a year and a half ago, I was reading a lot of magazines on tour - I don't know their names but they have glossy pictures of the pop stars who all sort of look the same. Why her? I don't know, maybe she just had the silliest picture in the magazine. It wasn't like I planned to write a song about one of the teen stars and picked her, it's just that I was looking at her picture and, later in the day, my friend was playing the piano and I started singing about her. Then I remember walking around New York, fleshing out the lyrics, and I came up with the chorus."


Jessica Simpson
Where has your love gone
It's not in your music, no.
You need a vacation
To wake up the cavemen
And take them to Mexico.

Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong.
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it
The day that you died.

My body's in shambles
Encrusted with brambles
That sharpen the air I breathe.
What's on the menu
Jessica can you
Take down my order please.

Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong.
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it
The day that you died.

Tomorrow get's closer
A purple bulldozer
Is calling you on the phone.
Your love life precedes you
Your son-in-law feeds you
Injections of cortisone.

Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong.
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it
The day that you died.

Jessica Simpson
Where has your love gone
It's not in your music,
So where has it gone?

Then, Jessica...
