Bronski beat - Smalltown boy
Bronski Beat est un trio londonien qui a vu le jour en 1984, à l'heure où la pop anglaise se mêlait à la New Wave. Bronski Beat est connu et reconnu grâce à la voix haut perchée de son chanteur Jimmy Somerville. Jimmy Somerville, qui avoua son homosexualité très tôt dans un pays où l'homophobie était librement affichée, a bouleversé, le petit monde anglais de la musique en 84, avec deux singles tonitruants : Why et Smalltown Boy. Leur premier album The Age of Consent, d'une qualité que la critique ne manquera pas de célébrer, cartonne la même année. Un an plus tard, Jimmy quitte le groupe pour former les Communards. Bronski Beat se trouve un nouveau chanteur John Jon, totalement inconnu. Le groupe réalise plusieurs albums, mais les fans s'accordent à dire que le groupe a tout perdu, depuis le départ de Somerville.
Cry cry cry
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
But the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
The love that you need
Will never be found at home
{Refrain:}
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they'd talk about around town
As they put you down
And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No you never cried to them
Just to your soul
{au Refrain}
Cry , boy, cry...
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
{au Refrain}
Cry cry cry
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
But the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
The love that you need
Will never be found at home
{Refrain:}
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they'd talk about around town
As they put you down
And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No you never cried to them
Just to your soul
{au Refrain}
Cry , boy, cry...
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
{au Refrain}
