Blue Angel Cafe

There’s a place in my head
Think I won’t forget it till I’m dead
It ain’t real, I made it up
From an old picture that you shot

I've never been there
Does it still exist? I don’t care
It is mine, I made it up
Don't even know where that picture was shot

There you could begin or end
Anything you wish my friend
‘Cause everything’s OK
At the Blue Angel Café

Sometimes when there I go
My name I want everyone to know
Then the days I feel blue
To be on my own but not alone

Nothing to prove over there
No scores to compare
Oh, night or day
Live is on the easy way

Need to put to rest something
Any ghost you wish you bring
All the ones you lost one day
They're at the Blue Angel Café

Built that place it was for me
But you can use it, please feel free
With some help, I made it up
Thanks to an old picture that you probably forgot

If you wanna go
Please just let me know
I'll go back with you
I'll be happy to

Come and begin or end
Anything you wish my friend
All fantasies find their way
To the Blue Angel Cafe

Come and begin or end
Anything you wish my friend
All fantasies find their way
To the Blue Angel Cafe
To the Blue Angel Cafe

Cette chanson est pour les… psy ?

Pour les psy, les fantaisies de chacun se situent aux deux extrêmes : autant positives que négatives. Fantaisie: ce mot ne fait-il pas penser à la « Fée Clochette »? À chacun sa perception. Laissons ceci à votre propre imagination.

Le texte illustre assez bien ce qui est apparu à l’esprit lors de son écriture. Un endroit imaginaire inspiré par une vieille photo. Un endroit où toutes les fantaisies se retrouvent.

Lors d’une session d’improvisation, Sly a trouvé la progression utilisée pour les couplets. Le reste est venu simplement.
