Bowie, David - Janine Lyrics

JANINE

(Bowie)

Oh, amore mio, Janine
Sono perso nel tuo sorriso.
Come un vagabondo Polacco
Viaggio sempre verso il tuo paese.
E se non fosse per i gioielli, meriterei la tua mano.

La tua strana domanda
Di “riordinare ” la mia mente
Mi getta nello sconforto
Sei troppo intensa
Dovrò tenerti al tuo posto
Non ho difese
Devo tenere il velo sulla mia faccia

Janine, Janine, vorresti conoscermi bene
Ma ho delle cose nella testa
Che non posso affrontare neppure io

Janine, Janine, vorresti abbattere i miei muri
Ma se usi un’ascia contro di me
Ucciderai un altro uomo
Certo non me

Sei sconclusionata, Janine
Una viaggiatrice alla fine
Ma se ti trovo a pestarmi i piedi
Avrò il diritto di zittirti
Perché sei un ruscello pigro
In cui vorrei affogare i miei pensieri

Così resta, Janine
E possiamo scivolare insieme
Ho catturato le tue ali per ridere
Non sono obbligato a leggere i tuoi proponimenti per l’anno nuovo
E allora togliti gli occhiali
E non essere così sincera

Janine, Janine, vorresti conoscermi bene
E ho delle cose nella testa
Che non posso affrontare neppure io

Janine, Janine, vorresti abbattere i miei muri
Ma se usi un’ascia contro di me
Ucciderai un altro uomo
Certo non me

Idk which version is better. This version or the Mercury Demo

Have you heard the new 2019 mix that just came out? It's pretty good

Have loved this one since I first bought the album in '75.

Oh my love, Janine
I'm helpless for your smile
Like a Polish wander
I travel ever onwards to your land
And were it not just for the jewels, I'd close your hand
Your strange demand
To collocate my mind
Scares me into gloom
You're too intense
I'll have to keep you in your place
I've no defense
I've got to keep my veil on my face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well
But I've got things inside my head
That even I can't face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls
But if you take an axe to me
You'll kill another man
Not me at all
You're fey, Janine
A tripper to the last
But if I catch you standing on my toes
I'll have a right to shout you down
For you're a lazy stream
In which my thoughts would drown
So stay, Janine
And we can glide along
I've caught your wings for laughs
I'm not obliged to read you statements of the year
So take your glasses off
And don't act so sincere
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well
But I've got things inside my head
That even I can't face
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls
But if you take an axe to me
You'll kill another man
Not me at all
Yeah
Oh ah
Ooooo
Oh Janine
Hey Janine
Oh Janine
Ah ho
Oh Janine
Ho how
Janine
Ah Janine yeah
Janine Janine Janine
Yeah yeah

not mad at this at all

Músicão.

Listen to this on headphones and hear Herbie's bass sound so good in the right ear!!

Ma Na who is Herbie? The credits in the description say John Lodge played bass. Sounds great, though!

@Samuel Freeman I always thought it was Herbie Flowers on bass for this album?

Ma Na I don't know. May I ask who Herbie Flowers is?

@Samuel Freeman You may.
