With half an eye on history
And half an ounce of hope
Sold his soul in the vestry
Money for old rope
Been this way a million times
But now his time is nigh
He steps into the spotlight
He wants to say hi
Hello, were so glad you came
Youve never seen me before
Hes so ambitious, hes so game
But yesterday he was dressed the same
Then he was so much easier to ignore
Here comes the groom
But the worlds not an inn and there isnt any room for you
But here he comes
He married into money
Just to kiss and tell
He ripped the contract open
Hes out of his shell
He looks into a mirror
Practising his poise
But it reflects so badly
The groom just gets annoyed
He gasps, he forgets his lines
Hes never done that before
The scientists say hes doing fine
This fumbling frantic frankenstein
Soon hes gonna do the dinosaur
Here comes the groom
His fingers are on the cliff edge
His head is going under
Is that applause?
No thats just thunder....
Why do you keep saying I do?
What does the bride mean to you?
Play me some puccini
Make it heavy on the strings
Walk me to the altar
The choir cant even sing
Right side for the photographs
Left side for the kids
God made me do it
So thats what I did
He coughs, loosens his bow-tie
Youve never seen him before
He kisses the bride, oh you know why
Loves one more thing you can buy
He was unfaithful before he went outdoors
(and now hes in the graveyard)
Here comes the groom.....
John Wesley Harding è il nome d'arte di Robert Allen Zimmerman, meglio conosciuto come Bob Dylan. L'album "John Wesley Harding", pubblicato nel 1967, segna un cambio di direzione nella sua carriera musicale. Dopo l'esplosione del folk rock e le proteste sociali degli anni '60, Dylan si allontana da sonorità più elettriche e impegnate per abbracciare uno stile country-folk più introspettivo e minimalista. L'album presenta canzoni come "All Along the Watchtower", "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" e "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine", che riflettono un approccio più personale e poetico, con testi spesso oscuri e enigmatici. L'influenza del country music è evidente in arrangiamenti semplici e melodie orecchiabili. John Wesley Harding rappresenta una fase di transizione per Dylan, segnando l'inizio di un percorso musicale che lo porterà a esplorare nuovi generi e sonorità.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
