Elvis Costello - Kid aboutIt I got the version of this song from a Youtube post of him doing it acoustically (Milwaukee 10 June 2014) Plus working also from what was here.The ending is different from album version. I feel I got it pretty close and took liberties (pun) lol to add the big jazzy G major chord for the last chord ending it. He saw no tears in her eyes Say you wouldn’t kid about it She’s telling all of those lies She swore she’d never told before But I doubt it So he bit his tongue And tried hard to capture his breath When she said I waited all my life For just a little death Say you wouldn’t kid about it Say you wouldn’t kid about it Say you wouldn’t kid about it Say you wouldn’t kid about it   Sometimes he takes himself so seriously She makes her movements mysteriously Slow fast or    furiously    It’s a big responsibility With a face full of mixed ability Big dreams of elegance Singing "The Leaving of Liverpool" And turning into Americans Say you wouldn’t kid about it So what if this is a man’s world   I want to be a kid again about it Give me back my sadness I couldn’t hide it     even if I tried girl We fight so frail Making love tooth and nail You gave me the kiss of my life I might even live to tell the tale     Say you wouldn’t kid about it Say you wouldn’t kid about it Say you wouldn’t kid about it    Say you wouldn’t kid about it   Say you wouldn’t Say you wouldn’t   Say you wouldn’t Say you wouldn’t

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson explore les thèmes de l'amour, de la désillusion et des promesses non tenues. Au fil des vers, le protagoniste découvre les mensonges de sa partenaire, qui prétend avoir attendu toute sa vie des moments intenses et éphémères. Son dialogue intérieur révèle une lutte entre gravité et légèreté, entre le sérieux de son état d'esprit et sa soif de simplicité et de joie. On ressent un contraste entre la tension émotionnelle et des réflexions sur la responsabilité, la mélancolie et les rêves. La manière dont il interagit avec elle, entre désir et désespoir, témoigne d'une quête de réconciliation avec ses sentiments. Finalement, il aspire à retrouver une part d'innocence perdue dans un monde trop adulte.
