Rule Nor Reason - Billy Bragg Key: * = Play chord with the 4th string 2nd fret (It has long name) B|---3-------| G|---0-------| A|---0-------| D|---x-------| The wind sways the trees and the raindrops on the leaves Tumble down down my neck in the breeze Yes it’s true I hid out in the shadow of your doubt And this medal that I wear is not for bravery I’m afraid And we’re both going to have to accept That this might be as good as it gets As our love for each other respects neither rule nor reason The Queen on her throne plays Shirley Bassey records when she’s all on her own And she looks out the window and cries What should I do? Scratch off all of my tattoos? And forget those girls’ names? But you’re not about to let me do that are you? And we’re both going to have to accept That this might be as bad as it gets As our love for each other respects neither rule nor reason And we’re both going to have to accept That this might be as big as it gets As our love for each other respects Neither rule nor reason Neither rule nor reason End on D

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque un amour qui défie les conventions et les attentes, illustrant comment les émotions peuvent parfois l'emporter sur la raison. Les paroles présentent des moments de doute et de vulnérabilité, où le chanteur se retrouve prisonnier des incertitudes d'une relation. Malgré la complexité de leurs sentiments, il devient évident que leur connexion ne se conforme à aucune norme établie. Dans une atmosphère teintée de mélancolie, on imagine une reine solitaire cherchant du réconfort dans la musique, ce qui renforce le sentiment d'isolement. Cela souligne la lutte interne entre l'envie de renoncer à son passé et l'attachement tenace à des souvenirs et des choix de vie. En somme, la chanson capture une essence universelle : celle de naviguer à travers les tumultes de l’amour, avec toute son imprévisibilité.
