I can’t find a meaning for this word in the lyrics of Ray Charles’s “Unchain my heart”
“So unchain my heart let me go away
Unchain my heart, you worry me night and day
Why lead me through a life of misery
when you don’t care I beg a bi for me
So unchain my heart oh! Please me set me free”
Unchain my heart, baby let me be
Unchain my heart 'cause you don’t care about me
You’ve got me sewed up like a pillow case
but you let my love go to waste so
Unchain my heart, oh please, please set me free
Unchain my heart, baby let me go
Unchain my heart, 'cause you don’t love me no more
Ev’ry time I call you on the phone
Some fella tells me that you’re not at home so
Unchain my heart, oh please, please set me free
I’m under your spell like a man in a trance
But I know darn well, that I don’t stand a chance so
Unchain my heart, let me go my way
Unchain my heart, you worry me night and day
Why lead me through a life of misery
when you don’t care a bag of beans for me
So unchain my heart, oh please, please set me free
I’m under your spell like a man in a trance
But I know darn well, that I don’t stand a chance so
Unchain my heart, let me go my way
Unchain my heart, you worry me night and day
Why lead me through a life of misery
when you don’t care a bag of beans for me
So unchain my heart, please, please set me free
(please set me free)
Oh won’t you set me free
(please set me free)
Woah, set me free
(please set me free)
Woowow, set me free little darlin
(please set me free)
Oh won’t you set me free
I find it both ways. It looks like the “bag of beans” is slightly more prominenet.
A couple of sites list the ‘bi’ lyric as a studio chart.
Very interesting. Song came out in 1961.
[quote=“Sam Vimes”]I swear that David Bowie’s China Girl should read:
I’ll give you man o’ wars to rule the world
But all the lyrics sites I’ve seen claim this is: a man who wants to rule the world
That doesn’t even make sense.[/quote]
I dunno, Sam. It might make sense if you look at it as him saying he’ll be an ambitious rather than lazy man. You know, “rule the world” in a figurative rather than literal sense.
