Musique

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing
To the music vibe

And the boys chase the girls, with curls in their hair
While the shocked too many sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the sizxe
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight

So you’re heading down the road in your taxi for 4
And you’re waiting outside jimmy’s front door
But nobody’s in and nobody’s home till 4
So you’re sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Ragger and his 1 leg crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight ?

Arrive at seven the place feels good
No time to call you today
Encores till eleven then Chinese food
Back to the hotel again

I call your number the line ain't free
I like to tell you come to me
A night without you seems like a lost dream
Love I can't tell you how I feel

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Another morning another place
The only day off is far away
But every city has seen me in the end
And brings me to you again

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

on a long and lonely highway east of omaha
you can listen to the engine, moanin out as one long song
you can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before

and your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
when you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
you don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was through

Refrain:
but here I am, on the road again
here I am, up on the stage
here I go, playing the star again
there I go, turn the page

you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
and you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
you pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
sometimes you can here 'em talk, other times you can't

all the same 'ole cliches: is that a woman or a man?
and you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand

Refrain

out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away
every ounce of energy, you try to give away
and the sweat pours from your body, like the music that you play
later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
echos of the amplifiers, ringin' in your head
as you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said

When there's lightning - you know it always bring me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry out for magic - I feel it dancing in the light
But it was cold - I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

Do your demons - do they ever let you go
When you've tried - do they hide -deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You're just a picture - just an image caught in time
We're a lie - you and I
We're words without a rhyme

There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

When there's lightning - you know it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic -feel it dancing in the air
But it's fear - and you'll hear
It calling you beware

There's no sign of the morning coming
There's no sight of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

You're so bad you're so bad...

You think you're in love, Like it's a real
sure thing. But every time you fall
You get your ass in a sling. You used to be
strong, but now it's ooh baby please
'Cause fallin' in love is hard on the knees
You're so bad you're so bad...

We was making love when you told me that you loved me
I thought ol' cupid he was taking aim
I was believer when you told me that you loved me
And then you called me someone else's name

There ain't gonna be no more beggin' you please
You know what I want, And it ain't one of these.
You're bad to the bone, And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is so hard on the knees
You're so bad you're so bad...

Chip off the old block
Man you're so much like your sister
My fantasize it must be out of luck
My old libido has been blowing a transistor
I feel like I have been hit by a fuck
Yeah

I'm Jones'in on love, Yeah I got the DT's
You say that we will
But there ain't no guarantees
I'm major in love, But in all minor keys
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

What are you looking for
It's got to be hard core
Must be some kind of nouveau riche

Is this your only chance
Or some hypnotic trance
Let's get you on a tighter leash
Own it own it own it

You're so bad you're so bad
You ain't the good
Is what you said down to the letter
But you like the way I hold the microphone
Sometimes I'm good but when I'm bad
I'm even better. Don't give me no lip
I've got enough of my own

There ain't gonna be no more beggin' you please
You know what I want and it ain't one of these.
You're bad to the bone, And your girlfriend agrees
That falling in love is hard on the knees

I'm Jones'in on love, Yeah I got the DT's
You say that we will
But there ain't no guarantees
I'm major in love, But in all minor keys
'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

Pas facile de résumer un concert comme celui-là avec des mots... D'ailleurs je ne vais même pas m'y risquer et vous laisser regarder les quelques vidéos qui en témoignent (la qualité n'est pas fameuse, mais bon, l'ambiance y est !)... Et même si la photo ci-dessus n'est pas d'une très haute qualité, et ben tant pis, c'est la nôtre et on y était !



C'était le 10 avril à Lyon, j'étais là-bas avec Jack, on a passé un moment extraordinaire, on a adoré, les riffs comme les vibrations, les prouesses musicales de Pain comme de Nightwish (les voix !!), les prouesses techniques et pyrotechniques (!), l'ambiance "déjantée", on a chanté (lui surtout !), sauté sur place (moi !), secoué la tête (lui encore !), bref on s'est laissé aller à une soirée inoubliable...

I heard a rumour
They travel far
You know what it's like
The way people are
They talk and they talk
Though they don't understand
They'll whisper and whisper
And lie on demand
Please tell me now
I want to know
I have to hear it from your lips
Say it's not so

I heard it on Monday
And I laughed a while
I heard it on Tuesday
I managed to smile
I heard it on Wednesday
My patience was tried
I heard it on Thursday
And I hurt inside
I want to know
The depths of your mind
Tell me this whole thing is madness
And we're doing fine
Put your little hand in mine
And believe in love
Put your head on my chest
And breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love
Breathe love

I heard it from Peter
Who heard it from Paul
Who heard it from someone
I don't know at all
I heard it from Mary
Who heard it from Ruth
Who swore on the bible
She's telling the truth
I heard it from Simon
Who heard it from James
Confirming with Sarah
That I was to blame
I heard it from Joseph
Who heard it from John
Who said with conviction
That all hope was gone
So I need to know
Your alibis
I need to hear that you love me
Before you say goodbye

See the moon roll across the stars
See the seasons turn like a heart
Your father's days are lost to you
This is your time here to do what you will do

Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now

Would you teach your children to tell the truth
Would you take the high road if you could choose
Do you believe you're a victim of a great compromise
'Cause I believe you could change your mind and change our lives


Would you teach your children to tell the truth
This is your time here to do what you will do

Je reviens de si loin, j’ai eu peur de te perdre
Personne ne saura la mort du voyageur
Qui a enfin trouvé le grand sommeil des cèdres
La poussière sur la route et la fin de l’ailleurs.

Tu m’as quitté ma belle comme je t’ai quittée
On est parti ensemble chacun de son côté,
C’était pour mieux s’entendre et bien se regretter
C’était pour se comprendre, savoir qui on était.

Le rythme obsessionnel de ta respiration
Dormir, dormir en toi, cerné par des hauts murs
Où des fauves nocturnes qui sont en nous, c’est sûr
Ouvrent leurs grands yeux jaunes et fixent l’horizon.

Tu m’as quitté ma belle comme je t’ai quittée
On est parti ensemble chacun de son côté
C’était pour mieux s’entendre et bien se regretter,
C’était pour se comprendre, savoir qui on était.

C’est sûr j’aurais moins mal si tu n’existais pas
Je rôde dans les rues en cherchant comme un fou
Sur le sol ocre rouge la trace de tes pas,
Rançon d’avoir manqué un si beau rendez-vous.

Tu m’as quitté ma belle comme je t’ai quittée
On est parti ensemble chacun de son côté
C’était pour mieux s’entendre et bien se regretter,
C’était pour se comprendre, savoir qui on était (bis).

Bernard Lavilliers - extrait de son nouvel album "Samedi soir à Beyrouth"

Je viens de découvrir l'album, et cette chanson, histoire d'une rupture, est je trouve très émouvante...

Explain the night to me
Explain the stars
Explain the way I feel
Explain the scars
Explain the outline of the trees against the sky
Explain the tangled words of love we can’t untie

Explain the night to me
Explain the black
And how the light was lost
And how to get it back
Explain the rising of the waves to swallow sand
Explain how difficult it is to hold your hand

We are wrapped around our needing
In a drunken trance
Will you swing and sway me slowly
And pretend to dance
We are wrapped around our sorrow
In a strong embrace
And between your temple and your eye I hide my face

Explain the night to me
The pregnant moon
Explain the sudden urge
The empty room
Explain the way to blue
And all the space
Explain the makeup swiftly streaked across my face

Explain the night to me
Explain the past
Explain the thrill of love
And why it cannot last
Explain the rings that slowly spread across the lake
And how to someday learn to live with my mistakes

We are wrapped around our needing
In a drunken trance
Will you swing and sway me slowly
And pretend to dance

We are wrapped around our sorrow
In a strong embrace
And between your temple and your eye I hide my face..
