Toujours vierge ?

Putain, 40 ans. Jim Reid affirme, « ne vous attendez pas à ce que The Mary Chain devienne jazz ». On le croit sur parole en écoutant Cracking Up et Jamcod. Étrange sensation d’être propulsé au mi-temps des années 80. Les Reid ont-ils pris des rides ? Le son et la voix sont bien là. Après est-ce bien nécessaire ? Bain de jouvence ou bain de pieds ?

Glasgow Eyes de The Jesus And Mary Chain sort le 8 mars 2024 chez Fuzz Club. Les écossais seront en concert le 13 avril à l’Élysée Montmartre à Paris.

The Jesus And Mary Chain – Jamcod

The monkey’s organ grinder
Isn’t grinding anymore
And I can’t shake the feeling
That I’ve seen this dream before

Fucking up and then falling down
But it punts me to the door
And I can’t see the ceiling
‘Cause I’m face down on the floor

Tears are what you want
Tears are what you’ve got

There must be an answer
To the question I don’t know
It’s too close to midnight
And there has to be no show

Breaking up and then falling down
And my heart beats much too slow
Best notify the other brother
There’s no place to go

Tears are what you want
Tears are what you’ve got

Vegetable, mineral
Animal, I don’t know
What you want, what you need
I’ve become recently deceased

A recently deceased
A recently deceased
A recently deceased

[?] blues blue
A cocaine and this table

The Jesus And Mary Chain – Cracking Up

Some said I was a freak
I am a freak
They said I was weak
I am a freak
They said I was in-com-plete
I am a freak
I am a freak

Hey, I got the eyes of a man that’s being cut
I got the view of a rat king’s son
I guess I’m new and I don’t know what to do
I’ll judge you fine in my mind in my…

I’m cracking up
Cracking up
Cracking up

One said I was a priest
I am a priest
They said I was least
I am a priest
They said I was in-com-plete
I am a priest
I am a freak

I’m cracking up
Cracking up
Cracking up

We’re cracking up
Cracking up
Cracking up
