LyricsSAMARAI Words/Music S. Haworth c) 2021V1 What have they done to you The marks upon your face tell me its all true Crack the top for a better view I always looked up to you Now tell me do you wanna cry Don't thank me if you do I won't question why We all know you're a Samarai Your time was always coming Ch Take a picture would you mister Don't remember me this way Why do you care about the fanfare It's a circus with no name, a circus just a game, just a game , just a game V2 We all know of the bad end Why did you run towards it Heart so gentle Bound to fall and fall again Racing for the train no one left to blame Now tell me do you want to cry Don't thank me if you do I won't question why We all know you're a Samarai You run the way you run Your time was always coming Ch Take a picture would you mister Don't remember me this way Why do you care about the fanfare It's a circus with no name a circus with no shame Take a picture would you mister, would you mister Don't remember me this way Why do you care about the fanfare It's a circus with no name, a circus just the same , just a game, just a game V3 What have they done to you The marks upon your face tell me it's all true Crack the top for a better view Oh darlin I looked up to you tell me do you want to cry don't thank me if you do Ur just a Samarai you had to do the things you had to do Do you want to cry don't thank me if you do Your just a Samarai you throw your sword Down to the ground, down to the ground, to the ground again Down to the ground, down to the ground, bound to fall again |
| Short Song Description: This song is a blues / swing/ soulful lament about addiction, loss and disillusionment. It moves from the bluesy gritty guitars and bass in verses into a full brass swing section with a modern twist and killer percussion licks. Moody emotive, atmospheric production with an eerie ghostly quality. |
| Story Behind the Song: This tune is an ode to those who have lost the battle with the ugly side of fame and notoriety. Inspired by the poignant story of the amazingly talented Amy Winehouse and her short life. It shouts out to the machine of the music business and how it can eat a person alive before their time. Amy described herself as a Samarai, always having to defend herself. Although the song was inspired by the lack of compassion for this particular artist it could also apply to any fallen idol grist for the mill of popular entertainment. |
