Melody Tempo Harmony
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ses doigts longs et rapides couraient sur sa guitare
Ses riffs comme des fluides transperçaient le brouillard
Puis la lumière dorée du soleil de Negril
Planait sur la fumée en petites notes agiles.
Ses textes étaient précis et bourrés d'humour noir
C'était donc mon ami depuis ce fameux soir.
Melody - tempo - harmony
I do it for me - to give you my soul
Melody - tempo - harmony
Guitare - bass - funky - lead and back vocals
J'étais noir moi aussi mais pour d'autres raisons
J'avais passé dix ans à dormir en prison.
C'était une drôle d'affaire pleine de coups d'escopette*
De transporteurs de fonds et puis de grosse galette.
Melody - tempo - harmony
I do it for me - to give you my soul
Melody - tempo - harmony
Guitare - bass - funky - lead and back vocals
Well in life my son you have two choices
You can be black or white in these categories
Police didn't like my sarcastic lyrics
Bye bye big money et fini la musique
Melody - tempo - harmony
I do it for me - to give you my soul
Melody - tempo - harmony
