From the magnificent album Medusa This is a very different cover of The Clash classic often known in U.S. as Train in Vain (Stand by me) [Intro] [Verse 1] They say you stand by your man Tell me something I don’t understand You said you loved me and that’s a fact And then you left me said you felt trapped Well somethings you can explain away But the heartache’s with me till this day [Chorus] Did you stand by me ? No not at all Did you stand by me ? No way. Ooh ooh [Verse 2] All the times that we were close I remember these things the most I’ve seen all my dreams come tumblin’ down I can’t be happy without you around So alone I keep the wolves at bay And there’s only one thing I can say [Chorus] You didn’t stand by me ? No not at all You didn’t stand by me ? No way You didn’t stand by me ? No not at all You didn’t stand by me ? No way [Bridge] You must explain Why this must be? Ooh eee Did you lie     When you spoke to me? Ooh eee Did you stand by me? No not at all ooh ooh [Verse 3] Now I got a job but it don’t pay I need new clothes I need somewhere to stay But without all of these things I can do But without your love I won’t make it through Without your love I won’t make it through But you don’t understand my point of view I suppose there’s nothing I can do [Chorus] You didn’t stand by me ? No not at all You didn’t stand by me ? No way You didn’t stand by me ? No not at all You didn’t stand by me ? No way [Verse 4] You must explain Why this must be? Did you lie    When you spoke to me? [Outro] Did you stand by me ? No way Did you stand by me ? No not at all Did you stand by me ? No way Did you stand by me ? No not at all ....(to fade out)

À propos de la chanson

La chanson exprime la douleur de quelqu’un qui se sent trahi et abandonné par une personne qu’il aimait. Après avoir promis de rester aux côtés de l’autre, cette personne s’évanouit, laissant un sentiment de solitude et de perte. L’interprète évoque les souvenirs d’un amour révolu et la difficulté de vivre sans cette connexion. Elle cherche des réponses, questionnant la sincérité des promesses faites. Le morceau revêt un contexte d'échec relationnel, où les attentes face à l’amour ne sont pas satisfaites, mettant en lumière une lutte intérieure pour comprendre ce qui a mal tourné. La répétition des questions sur la fidélité, tant sur le plan émotionnel que matériel, souligne un besoin urgent de clarté et de réconciliation.
