SUGAR MICE (Marillion) [Intro] | | | | | [Verse 1] I was flicking through the channels on the TV On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain Trying to piece together conversations Trying to find out where to lay the blame [Chorus] But when it comes right down to it there’s no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it there’s no one here that’s left to blame Blame it on me you can blame it on me We’re just sugar mice in the rain [Verse 2]           G                             Cadd9 I heard Sinatra calling me through the floorboards                 G                                 Cadd9 Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme                                To the jukebox crying in the corner While the waitress is counting out the time [Chorus] For when it comes right down to it there’s no use trying to pretend For when it gets right down to it there’s no one really left to blame Blame it on me you can blame it on me We’re just sugar mice in the rain [Solo] Cadd9 x8   Cadd9 Cadd9 Cadd9 [Bridge] ’Cause I know what I feel know what I want I know what I am Daddy took a raincheck ’Cause I know what I want know what I feel I know what I need Daddy took a raincheck your daddy took a raincheck  Ain’t no one in here that’s left to blame but me Blame it on me blame it on me              [Verse 3] Well the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone When I heard them asking questions I knew that you were all alone Can’t you understand that the government left me out of work I just couldn’t stand the looks on their faces  saying "What a jerk" [Chorus] So if you want my address it’s number one at the end of the bar Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars Blame it on me blame it on me Sugar mice in the rain your daddy took a raincheck your daddy took a raincheck

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la mélancolie d’un homme qui cherche à comprendre sa situation et celle des autres dans un monde où il se sent perdu. Entre souvenirs et regrets, il semble confronté à un profond sentiment de solitude. Il exprime le fait que, malgré les épreuves et les responsabilités qui pèsent sur lui, il n'y a finalement personne à blâmer, pas même lui-même. Ces "souris en sucre dans la pluie" illustrent la fragilité de la vie, où les rêves se mélangent aux désillusions. Le contexte dans lequel l’histoire se déroule semble être un moment de réflexion et de nostalgie, avec des références à des lieux familiers et une ambiance chargée d’émotions. On perçoit une lutte entre la recherche de réconfort et la réalité qui peine à s’aligner avec ses désirs.
