Kanadská rocková písničkářka Alanis Morissette okouzlila svět svým multiplatinovým debutem "Jagged Little Pill" z roku 1995. V 90. letech vytvořila celý nový trend „osamocených žen s kytarou“ – Alanis však mezi všemi vyniká silou svých výpovědí,...

Píseň: The Guy Who Leaves

Interpret:
Alanis Morissette
Album:
Flavors of Entaglament, DELUXE EDITION
Get up, don’t get up
 I beg you to sit tight
 Sweet girl, I’ll be a ghost, girl
 Forget it, I am fine 


If anything, a witnessing
 Is all I needed that night 


Until I get what I’m to get
 He’ll keep being compelled to flee
 Until I out his false story
 He’ll keep playing the guy who leaves 


Brother, oh, brother
 Solo you did bust out
 All I knew was you didn’t invite me
 So begin seeds of self-doubt 


There is nothing as harrowing
 As how I translate facts 


Until I get what I’m to get
 He’ll keep being compelled to flee
 Until I out his false story
 He’ll keep playing the guy who leaves 


Baby, oh, partner
 How well you’ve played this part
 Similar, oh, how familiar
 Reluctant truth you impart 


And how you served necessity
 Repeat ’til she sees light 


Until I get what I’m to get
 He’ll keep being compelled to flee
 Until I out his false story
 I’ll keep blaming the guy who leaves
