Les paroles de la chanson

For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe,
And discuss all the vast intricacies of life
We could jaw through the night
Talk about a range of subjects, anything you like
Oh yeah

But we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah, we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time.

Take a sip, see the world through a glass
And speculate about the cosmic solution
To the sound, blue guitars
caught up in a philosophical discussion
Oh yeah

But we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah, we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time

For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe
Discuss all the vast intricacies of life
We could jaw through the night,
Talk about a range of subjects, anything you like

But we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah, we always came back to the song we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah, we always came back

Take a sip, see the world through a glass
And speculate about the cosmic solution
To the sound, blue guitars
Caught up in a bit of philosophical discussion
Oh, yeah

But we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time
Yes, we always came back to the songs we were singing
At any particular time
Yeah

L’histoire de la chanson

Cette douce ballade écrite en Jamaïque début 1995, est idéale pour nous mettre au parfum de ce disque nous rappelant les meilleurs standards du passé. C’est un très belle hommage aux premières années de la collaboration entre Lennon et McCartney.

Paul : Je me souvenais des années 60, assis tard dans la nuit, fumant une pipe, buvant du vin.. marchant et parlant de la solution cosmique. Voila ce que nous faisions tous… tous ces “que diriez vous de… wow !” C’est le moment de ta vie ou tu as toutes ces opportunités !
