Straight Jacket

Sobre Beverly Knight
Ella se sent orgullosa de ser negra, dona, Britànica i de provenir dun suburbi de Londres on hi regnen el soul i el gospel i que ella estima i adora. Però reconeix que va creixent i canviant, que de les seves arrels neixen noves branques que la van elevant cada cop més amunt, que la fan més gran... Beverly Knight aconseguí lany 2002 el seu 3r àlbum de platí amb el disc Who I am. Lany 2003 Tyrone, el seu millor amic morí de Pneumonia. Era portador del VIH. Per ell ha escrit i publicat aquest passat any lalbum Affirmation don surt aquesta crítica a les relacions que ofeguen, no cal que siguin relacions de parella, també poden ser relacions paterno-filials, o d'amistat. Aquesta cançó, és una crítica a totes aquelles persones que es creuen que encara ens posseeixen quan ja no ens hi lliga res...
Straight Jacket
Why, why can't you be happy for me?
Now that I've found someone who'll put up with me?
I'm no little girle, I'm the woman you raised
I need some answers, you got me fazed
with your prejudice
was there something I missed, when you told me that you love me?
CHORUS
You want me in your straight jacket
you won't accept me without it though
you know it's the one I'v out grown.
You want me in your straight jacket
you'll never close me in your brackets
don't
you realise you're out on your own?
Please, please understand my choice
Why you trying to stifle my voice?
I sympathise with the way that you feel
but times stops for no one
and you're standing still.
And nothing grows under a shadow
I'm sorry -it's not my story
CHORUS
I'm sorry that my life, didn't turn out as you meant
nothing is an accident,
it's all just in the script
it's something to accept,
I know you won't admit
you only hurt yourself,
I can't do this by myself.
Cause we've been banging our heads
on the same place, of the same wall,
at the same time, for far too long now.
And nothing lasts forever
so what else is new?
You held us all together
We're all waiting for you.
