How Jim Came to Life

Habe in letzter Zeit mal wieder auf Englisch geschrieben:

How Jim Came to Life

You were born when the earth was still flat
maybe it was spinning, mabe not, i don't know
it was raining for five years straight
but you didn't even get wet
no you didn't even get wet

You dug a hole to take a nap in
the sleep of the tired the sleep of the just
you invited some birds & some bees & some deer
to share a bed with you
to share a bed with you

while you were asleep the earth got infected
it developed some dents & some bumps
it swelled & it swelled & it swelled & it swelled
and finally it looked like a ball
a basketball, a baseball, i don't know, you name it

so you got out & you walked around
you circled the globe in not more than a day
you met some people but you didn't talk to them
just nodded politely and tipped your hat
just nodded politely and tipped your hat

you really got a long great with the earth
i'd say it was your friend, and you were its friend
so you decided it needed a name
so you went and you called it jim
yeah you went and called it jim


jim (x20)
cause that was what your mother was called
yeah that was what you're dad was called as well

oh today, the world is in rough shape
everyone thinks, they have the right to subdue
the earth & rob the fruits that it gives
they don't know that it once was yours
no they don't know that it once was yours

Ich fände "inside" oder ganz weg besser, in ist irgendwie komisch, dazu gibt es aber keine wirkliche Grammatik-Regel. Ist nur so ein Gefühl
the sleep of the tired the sleep of the just
you invited some birds & some bees & some deer
to share a bed with you
to share a bed with you

while you were asleep the earth got infected
it developed some dents & some bumps
it swelled & it swelled & it swelled & it swelled
and finally it looked like a ball
warum das "it"? Brauchst du das für die Metrik? Sonst einfach "and finally looked like a ball".
a basketball, a baseball, i don't know, you name it

so you got out & you walked around
you circled the globe in not more than a day
you met some people but you didn't talk to them
just nodded politely and tipped your hat
just nodded politely and tipped your hat

you really got along great with the earth
i'd say it was your friend, and you were its friend
so you decided it needed a name
so you went and you called it jim
yeah you went and called it jim


jim (x20)
cause that was what your mother was called
schon wieder so kompliziert: because it was your mothers name oder so. Keinesfalls aber "what", immer "how your mother was called"!
yeah that was what you're dad was called as well

oh today, the world is in rough shape
everyone thinks, they have the right to subdue
the earth & rob the fruits that it gives
they don't know that it once was yours
no they don't know that it once was yours

Vielen Dank, das along war natürlich ein Tippfehler, beim what war ich mir nicht ganz sicher, wird auf jeden fall in how geändert.
Das kritisierte it war tatsächlich metrisch geschickt, lässt sich aber auch anders singen.
Danke nochmal.

Du klingst bisschen wie Jason Mraz Daumen Hoch
Text passt gut
