Feeling lost in this lonely world you never, listened to meEverything we do we do for a reason but it’s never for freeJust like that like a bolt from the blue you’re thinking what’s happened to meEverything you’ve done and all that you’ve become has disappeared
Ooh, I’m nothing baby, without your loveOoh ooh, the way I feel, oh you’re coming homeYou’re coming home
Ooh, I’m nothing baby, without your loveOoh ooh, the way I feel, oh you’re coming homeYou’re coming home

Oh I follow you in the lightOh I follow you in the darkYou were right and I was wrong u were right and I was wrongTo the sunny land of the summerTo the icy polar starI was waiting for you

Hey girl tell me what’s wrong with youYour words just fill me with pain girlI’m not your kind
Hey girl, help me understandThe world is in your hands girlDon’t be blind

Tell me, we go where you pleaseWe cross the seven seas girl, night and dayBelieve me, it’s all about you and meNo need to cry I’ll dry those tears girl, night and day

ItalianoCo-sì,
Cosi mi ha lasciato solo,
Una mattina quasi normale
Dopo il caffè.

Cosi, mi ha lasciato il cane e il pesce rosso,
La pila di panni sporchi,

E i piatti da risciacquare.

Amore, non capirò mai,
Quello che in me non va,

Cosa ho fatto di male,

Le donne, sempre si giocan di me,

Maledizione!
Le donne,

Tutte da me, vanno via.

Così,
Così mentre leggevo il giornale,

S'è fatta la valigia e ciao

Non l’ho vista più.

Così,
Con passo svelto e leggero è fuggita

Un passo che mi diceva:

La cucina falla tu!


Français

Comme ça
Comme ça elle m’a laissé seul,
Un matin presque normal
Après le café.
Comme ça, elle m’a laissé le chien et le poisson rouge,
La pile de linge sale,
Et la vaisselle à faire.

Comme ça,
Comme ça pendant que je lisais le journal,
Elle a fait sa valise et ciao
Je ne l’ai plus revue.
Comme ça,
D’un pas rapide et léger elle a disparu
Un pas qui me disait
:
La cuisine fais-la toi-même
!

Mon amour, je ne comprendrai jamais,
Ce qui ne va pas
Ce que j’ai fait de mal,
Les femmes, se jouent toujours de moi,
Malédiction
!
Les femmes,
S’éloignent toutes de moi.


English

Just like that,
Just like that, she left me alone
An almost ordinary morning
After the coffee
Just like that,
She left me the dog and the goldfish
The pile of dirty laundry
And the washing up to do
Just like that,

Just like that,
Just like that, while I was reading the paper
She packed her bag and ciao!
I never saw her again.
Just like that,
With a quick and silent footstep, she disappeared
A footstep saying to me:
Do your own cooking.

My love, I’ll never understand
What’s the matter
What did I do wrong,
Women scorn me
A curse!
Women,
All get out of my way.

And even this big Montana sky will feel too small when I hear that highway callVERSE

IDLE HOURVERSE
There’s a place down the street

Where my friends congregate
And when we sit on those bar stools
We’re not alone
10 am the lights are on
Beer’s cold, the whiskey’s strong
And we’re drowning those memories
One by one
CHORUS
You can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
If you’re tryin’ to hang on

To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home

VERSE
The neon lights are bright
Even tho it’s past midnight
And the band’s packed up and moved on
Stare at the clock on the wall
Bartender says last call
And I start missin’ her most of all

CHORUS
So, you can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
So if you’re tryin’ to hang on
To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home
Too many reasons not to go back home

FOOL # 1

CHORUS
Am I fool number 1
Or am I fool number 2
Tell me how many fools have been fooled by you
Now that it’s over, tell me the truth

Am I your number 1 fool?

VERSE
I spent so much time gettin’ hurt in this race
I don’t want to end up in second place

DRIVIN’ HOME
VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour, and going nowhere
So when you need to slow down, I just turn that car around
And take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home

VERSE
Sweet country music, on the radio
Playin’ all those old songs we used to know
Ohh, They take me back, to a place not long ago
When we took the back roads thru the country
When we’re drivin’ home

INSTRUMENTAL break

VERSE
Rollin’ hills, deep blue skies, farmer Brown will tip his hat when you drive by
Oh, we’re movin’ so fast, leave your troubles in the past and
Take the back roads thru the country when you’re drivin’ home

There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead

Take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home
Drivin’ home

SOUTH CAROLINA WALTZ
VERSEIt was early spring
Cherry blossoms were bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann took the hand

Of Sir William Lewis
And fell in love as they danced to
The South Carolina Waltz

VERSE
He was a sailor
Who came from South Hampton
From a ship building family, though we never pried
Sally Ann had her man, Sir William Lewis
And they danced and they swayed to the South Carolina Waltz

CHORUS
We always knew

That it was forever
Like the dawn of the rest of their lives
From that night on, they were always together
Side By Side

VERSE
It was late in the fall
When winter came callin’
And the sun sinkin’ low in the palmetto sky
Sally Ann took the hand of sir William Lewis
And they sailed off together for a late sunset ride
But the autumn winds can be unforgiving
And from out of nowhere their boat capsized
And Sally Ann grabbed the hand of Sir William Lewis
And we found them together on the shore where they died

Short Instrumental break

Now it’s early spring
Cherry blossoms are bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann and her man
Are restin’ in peace

While the wind sings and dances to

The South Carolina Waltz
The South Carolina Waltz

TOO MANY HONKY TONKS
VERSE
I know she didn’t mean to hurt me
She tried so hard to make it right
I guess I lost out to the whisky
But I wonder where my baby is tonight

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet

On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
The neon lights are shinin’
Right thru the warm glow of this wine
And my ole heart is pinin’
And I wonder where she’ll be

At closing time.

CHORUS
‘Cause when her tears start fallin’
Her goodtime friends come callin’
And they won’t keep her feet

On solid ground
From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

From lonely street to misery
Uptown on down
There’re just too many honky tonks around

IF YOU NEED ME
VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll be here for you
Even tho right now you think
That guy has hung the moon
I wish you well in that high society
But if the new wears off of those satin sheets

I’ll be here if you need me

VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll still be around
Waiting right here on the other side of town
Where life is hard, but our love came easily
So, if the new wears off of those satin sheets
I’ll be here if you need me

CHORUS
I know you’ve wanted out of here so long

Now here’s your chance go on and run
Just remember everything that shines

Can fade away, dark clouds

Can hide the sun un un un

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE
If you need me, honey I’ll still be around

Waiting right here on the other side of town

I DON'T MATTER ANYWAY
VERSE
There’s a rumor goin’ round this little town
Say you’re gonna throw my love away
Well tell me where do you get off
I’m the one having second thoughts
And I don’t think we can last another day

CHORUS
So We can talk about it
We can sleep on it
But I ain’t gonna meet you face to face
Cause I’m beginnin’ to see

What you don’t mean to me
And it really doesn’t matter anyway

VERSE
You’ve got a new boyfriend, and I’m real free
Let’s just call a spade a spade
I’m eatin’ real well, and takin’ care of myself
It’s something I gave up on along the way

CHORUS
So we can talk about it
We can sleep on it
But I ain’t gonna meet you face to face
Cause I’m beginnin’ to see

What you don’t mean to me
And it really doesn’t matter anyway

REPEAT CHORUS
We can talk about it
We can sleep on it
But I ain’t gonna meet you face to face
Cause I’m beginnin’ to see

What you don’t mean to me

And it really doesn’t matter anyway

No it really doesn’t matter anyway

GOODTIME HONKY TONK
VERSE
Just a little past the county line
Where the kudzu’s growin’ up the cross road sign

Sun’s sinkin’ thru the pine
You’ll find the goodtime honky tonk

VERSE
Just one happy family
Blowin’ off steam at the end of the week
Yes sir, no ma’am, thank you, please
At the goodtime honky tonk

CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

VERSE
Jukebox sittin’ on the old front porch
Punch those numbers and hit the floor
We all know what we’re here for

At the goodtime Honky Tonk

VERSE
None of that new country breed
Just Hank and Lefty and some Brenda Lee
Listen to Willie puff some weed
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

Heyeeeee

Comme si à chaque fois que tu devais apparaîtreTout devait disparaître
Comme si c’était fait exprès
Comme si on n’y pouvait pour rien
Tout va bien

T’inquiète pas
Tout va bien

T’inquiète pas

Et quand tout aura disparu,
tu réapparaîtras
rétroviseur comme si je savais déjà
Comme si c’était écrit quelque part
Seulement j’m’en souviens pas
La spirale
La spirale
Je m’épuise
Je veux te revoir
On s’résiste
C’est le désespoir
Tu m’éclipses
Tu me peins en noir
Ca existe
Je ne peux le voir
Tu m’existes
Là où je vais tu es déjà
Tout m’éclipse



English translation :

REARVIEW MIRROR
As if every time you had to appear

Everything had to disappear

As if it were done on purpose

As if we could do nothing
about it

Everything is fine

Don’t
worry
Everything is fine

Don’t
worry


And when everything
has disappeared
you will reappear

rearview mirror,
as if I already knew

As if it were written somewhere

Only I don’t
remember

The spiral,
The spiral

I'm
worn out
I want to see you again

We resist
each other
It's despair

You eclipse me
You paint me in black

It exists

I can’t
see
it
You exist
for me
Where
I am going, you are already

Everything eclipses me

C’est la guerre autour de nous mon amourallez avoue, allez avoue
avoue, que ça te fait du bien
que ça te fait plaisir
qu’on fait ça pour rien
juste pour se faire rugir pour se faire rougir.
et tout et tout et toujours tout
puisque c’est parti, je ne sais où
plus de romantisme
Plus rien comme appui
puisque que c’est parti
c’est la guerre autour de nous mon amour
soudés sous les treillis aux abris
sous la tonnelle de fusils

J’ai planté des narcisses dans tes gerçures
attendant qu’elles fleurissent
je fais des ballots du lierre grimpant sur ta figure
puisque c’est parti, je ne sais où
On a condamné l’ouverture
on voulait voir, éclore le bout du tunnel
de l’aventure
j’ai creusé des tranchées
sous ta bouche pas douée pour les baisers
je te reconnais dans cette trêve
qui te va si bien
drapée dans l’étendard
défendant au glaive
ton petit bout de territoire
mon petit bout de terrain, mon petit bout de terrain
J’ai planté des narcisses dans tes gerçures
attendant qu’elles fleurissent
je fais des ballots du lierre grimpant sur ta figure
puisque c’est parti, je ne sais où
On est vivant mon amour
on est des géants
le reste ne vaut rien
c’est la guerre autour de nous.
et c’est repartis mon amour
les camouflets dissimulés
enseveli, dévasté, par les assauts répétés
on est vivant mon amour
on est des géants
c’est la guerre autour de nous.
avoue que ça te fait du bien

qu’on fait ça pour rien

juste pour se faire rugir pour se faire rougir
Pour se faire rougir.

more romance Nothing
to lean on

Bound
under shelters
trellises
under the rifles


I planted
narcissi
in your chapped lips
waiting for them to bloom

I'm making bales of ivy climbing on your face

since it's gone, I do not know where

We have condemned the opening
we wanted to see,the light at
the end of the tunnel, of the
adventure
I dug trenches under your mouth,
not great
for kisses
I recognize you in this truce which suits you so well

draped in the
banner,
defending with
your
sword your little piece of territory

my little piece of land, my little piece of land


I planted
narcissi
in your chapped lips
waiting for them to bloom

I'm making bales of ivy climbing on your face

since it's gone, I do not know where


We are alive my love
and
we are giants

the rest is worthless,
it's war around us
and it's gone my love,
hidden
insults
buried, devastated, by repeated assaults

We are alive my love
and
we are giants

the rest is worthless,
it's war around us
Own up, Own up
it
does
you good, you like it

we do it
to make us
roar,
to
make us
blush

Que mon corps casque et me trahisseQue le temps passe et me flétrisse
Que ma vue perde l'horizon
Que je te laisse sans réaction
Que ma langue manque de salive
Sur tes seins en forme d'olive
Que tu me saches moins viril
Que mon cœur lâche sur ton nombril

Toi tu seras toujours

Chair et canon
Chair et canon

Quand je ne ferai plus le caniche
Que je ne te toucherai plus ma biche
Quand je ne serai plus le patron
Que je ne serai plus qu'un vieux con
Quand je serai au bord de la ruine
Et qu'on me mettra sous morphine
Quand je tomberai pour de bon
Dans un coma aussi profond

Toi tu seras toujours

Chair et canon
Chair et canon

Que mon corps casque et me trahisse
Que le temps passe et me flétrisse
Que ma vue perde l'horizon
Que tu me laisses sans érection
Que tu me saches moins viril
Que mon coeur lâche sur mon nombril

Toi tu seras toujours
Chair et canon
Chair et canon

CANNON FODDER
May my body wither and betray me
May time pass and wilt me
May my vision lose the horizon
May I leave you without response
May my tongue lack saliva
On your olive-shaped breasts
May you know me less virile
May my heart break on your navel

You will always be
Cannon fodder
Cannon fodder

When I won’t be poodle anymore
When I won’t touch you any more my little deer
When I won’t be the boss anymore
When I will be just an old fool
When I'm on the verge of ruin
And when they put me under morphine
When I fall for good
Into a coma so deep

You will always be
Cannon fodder
Cannon fodder

May my body wither and betray me
May time pass and wilt me
May my vision lose the horizon
May you leave me without erection
May you know me less virile
May my heart break on your navel

You will always be
