Wieder ein Bluestext, diesmal meinem Nachbar (der so ähnlich wie Jordan heisst) gewidmet.
Eure Interpretation wäre ebenfalls schick.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crossing Jordan
I got a, neighbour, hardly 5 feet tall,
and, he is an important man.
He has, a lot to say,
He gives so true advices, nearly every day,
He has ideas, I never thought about,
His complaisant suggestions really knock me out.
He knows, how it should better be,
And, expects, respect,
He has, a lawyer as friend,
He can get assistance any time of need,
He cares for his appearance, his chin is properly shaved.
His home is decorated, and the garden is paved.
<Solo>
Born into this small town, it's really not a fate
I do not lead, a cosmopolitan life
Born into this small town, I didn't get away
And my life so different from what is shown on TV.
If I hadn't had my neighbour, his confident air
I'd never had an idea of real big life
How I'd like to make it, I really wished to do
Id love to speak in such an eloquent way too
If only I could be him, just for a single day
I'd love to show the others, who I really am
Unfortunately I'm sheepish, and my mind is weak,
I'm acting un-assured, all my barriers are so steep
<Solo>
I didn't tell you about his, enchanting wife,
She doesn't really like me, barks like a doberman
I never dared to cross her, out on the street
But beside him she is calm, like a little lamb
I always admired, the way he leads his life
<Break, spoken>
Once he'll cross the Jordan, will I ever reach his state?
