Ben Harper

J'adore ces chansons...

C'est, pour moi, le genre de chanson qui, quand vous les écoutez,
vous transporte dans un autre monde...
Vous envoûte...

Ces chansons font parties de mes favorites de ce grand artiste
qu'est Monsieur Ben Harper!

J'espère qu'il reviendra bientôt en concert en Suisse!
Pour que je puisse enfin aller le voire ;-)

DIAMONDS ON THE INSIDE
(Ben Harper)

i knew a girl
her name was truth
she was a horrible liar
she couldn't spend one day alone
but she couldn't be satisfied
when you have everything
you have everything to lose
she made herself a bed of nails
and she's planning on putting it to use

[Refrain]
but she had diamonds on the inside
she had diamonds on the inside
she had diamonds on the inside
diamonds

a candle throws its light into the darkness
in a nasty world so shines a good deed
make sure the fortune that you seek
is the fortune that you need
tell me why the first to ask
is the last to give every time
what you say and do not mean
follows you close behind

[Refrain]

like the soldier long standing under fire
any change comes as a relief
let the giver's name remain unspoken
she is just a generous thief

[Refrain]

WHERE COULD I GO
(Harper/Yates/Ford)

there's no deals to be made
with the dawn
now i fear that our time
has come and gone

take a prayer with you to heaven for me
and give it to the lord
cause nothing else could save a sinner like me
but an angel's word

mama was hard on us
but we could take it
papa didn't give a damn
and he couldn't fake it

they say freedom is just a place to hide
now i'm coming to you with arms open wide
where could i go but to the lord

WAITING ON AN ANGEL
(Ben Harper)
waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come to see me soon
cause i don' t want to go alone
i don' t want to go alone

now angel won' t you come by me
angel hear my plea
take my hand lift me up
so that i can fly with thee
so that i can fly with thee

[Refrain]
and i'm waiting on an angel
and i know it won' t be long
to find myself a resting place
in my angel's arms
in my angel's arms

so speak kind to a stranger
cause you'll never know
it just might be an angel come
knockin' at your door
knockin' at your door

[Refrain]

waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come and see me soon
cause i don' t want to go alone
i don't want to go alone
don' t want to go
i don't want to go alone
