Pochette de vinyle, In jeopardy, Roger Hodgson
Écouter In Jeopardy de Roger Hodgson
In Jeopardy peut être comprise comme une chanson sur l’angoisse passagère et envahissante, envers laquelle nous sommes impuissants et face à laquelle nous nous retrouvons seuls. Après une introduction aux sons étranges et rythmée comme une marche, la chanson est entrainante, presque joyeuse, marquée par la répétition et par une cadence qui s’accélère.
Le rythme de la chanson et sa musicalité joyeuse se retrouvent tous deux dans l’idée du défilé. Un défilé de monstres sur un cerveau, c’est l’invasion de notre esprit par l’angoisse, par l'incontrôlable, l’insaisissable, contre lequel la rationalité ne peut rien.

Paroles, In jeopardy, Roger Hodgson
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I feel I’m about to cry
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, oh tell me the reason why
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I’m watching the feeling grow
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, oh tell me I want to know
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, the writing is on the wall
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I can’t seem to sleep at all
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, we utter a lonely cry
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, who cares if we live or die
Who’s in your mind, who’s in your conscience
Part of the crime, part of the nonsense
Do what we can, pray for tomorrow
Living our lives, watching, waiting, feeling as much as we can
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, so where is the golden age
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, we’re ready to turn the page
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, it’s getting so out of hand
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I wish I could understand
Repeat Chorus
Who’s in your mind, who’s in your conscience
Part of the crime, part of the nonsense
Do what we can, pray for tomorrow
Living our lives, watching, waiting, working, playing
singing, dancing, running as fast as we can
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, oh tell me the reason why
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I’m watching the feeling grow
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, oh tell me I want to know
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, the writing is on the wall
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I can’t seem to sleep at all
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, we utter a lonely cry
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, who cares if we live or die
Who’s in your mind, who’s in your conscience
Part of the crime, part of the nonsense
Do what we can, pray for tomorrow
Living our lives, watching, waiting, feeling as much as we can
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, so where is the golden age
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, we’re ready to turn the page
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, it’s getting so out of hand
In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I wish I could understand
Repeat Chorus
Who’s in your mind, who’s in your conscience
Part of the crime, part of the nonsense
Do what we can, pray for tomorrow
Living our lives, watching, waiting, working, playing
singing, dancing, running as fast as we can
