Bob Dylan avait au moins 20 couplets de rechange pour knocking on heaven´s doors ;)
y´en a que j´aime beaucoup :
JIMI HENDRIX - BOLD AS LOVE
Anger
he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor,
Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him
her fiey green grown sneers at the grassy ground.
Blue are the life giving waters taking for granted
they quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
but wonder why the fight is on.
But they´re all bold as love,
Yeah, they´re all bold as love,
they´re all bold as love, uh
just ask the Axis.
My red is so confident he flashes trophies of war
and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of dearing, but
very unsteady for the first ground.
My yellow in this case is not so mellow,
in fact, I´m trying to say it´s frightened like me,
and all of these emotions of mine keep holding me from, uh,
giving my life to a rainbow like you
but, I´m a,
Yeah! I´m bold as love, yeah, yeah.
Well, I´m bold, bold as love,
hear me talkin, girl,
I´m bold as love, uh
just ask the Axis
(he knows everything)
Yeah, yeah !

JIMI HENDRIX - LITTLE WING
Well she´s walkin´ through the clouds
with a circus mind that´s running wild.
Butterflies and zebras and moon beams
and, uh fairy tales (that´s all she every thinks about)
riding with the wind.
When I´m sad, she comes to me
with a thousand smiles, she gives to me free.
It´s alright, she says, it´s alright,
take anything you want from me,
anything, anything.
Fly on little wing

LES ZEPPELIN - SAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
There´s a lady who´s sure all that glitters is gold
And she´s buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she´s buying a stairway to heaven
There´s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there´s a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she´s buying a stairway to heaven
There´s a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she´s buying a stairway to heaven
And it´s whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter
And it makes me wonder
If there´s a bustle in your hedgerow
Don´t be alarmed now
It´s just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There´s still time to change the road you´re on
Your head is humming and it won´t go because you don´t know
The piper´s calling you to join him
Dear lady can´t you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she´s buying a stairway to heaven
There´s a lady who´s sure all that glitters is gold
And she´s buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for
And she´s buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.
classique.
