Le jeu de la chanson

Un groupe d'outre-Manche fondé par deux frangins.

"- Hé, moi aussi j'ai un frère.
- Le monde est petit."

Oasis.

On cherche pas un groupe, on cherche une chanson.

Pauv' z'années 60, y a plus personne qui pense à elles…

I met her in a club
down in old Soho
where you drink champagne
and it tastes just
like cherry cola
C-O-L-A cola

She walked up to me
and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name
and in a dark brown voice
she said Lola
L-O-L-A Lola
la la la la Lola

Well I'm not the world's
most physical guy
but when she squeezed me tight
she nearly broke my spine
oh my Lola
la la la la Lola
Well I'm not dumb
but I can't understand
why she walked like a woman
and talked like a man
oh my Lola
la la la la Lola
la la la la Lola

Well we drank champagne
and danced all night
under electric candle light
she picked me up and
sat me on her knee
and said "Dear boy
won't you come home with me?"

Well I'm not the world's
most passionate guy
but when I looked in her eyes
I almost fell for my
Lola la la la la Lola
la la la la Lola
Lola la la la la Lola
la la la la Lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
Well I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
then I looked at her
and she at me

Well that's the way
that I want it to stay
and I always want it
to be that wayfor my Lola
la la la la Lola

Girls will be boys
and boys will be girls
it's a mixed up
muddled up
shook up world
except for Lola
la la la la Lola

Well I left home just
a week before
and I'd never ever kissed
a woman before
but Lola smiled and
took me by the hand
and said "Dear boy
I'm gonna make you a man"

Well I'm not the world's
most masculine man
but I know what I am
and I'm glad I'm a man
and so is Lola
la la la la lola
la la la la Lola
Lola la la la la Lola
la la la la Lola

Les frères Davies ne faisant pas recette ici, on va passer à tout autre chose :

Ode à la Terre par Hubert et ses deux acolytes.

Ça non plus, ça n'a pas l'air d'inspirer grand monde… Indice : il s'agit d'un groupe français des années 80-90 qui s'est fait connaître avec cette chanson.

tryo? l'hymne de nos campagnes?

Moins récent que ça.

Voui

Les mirettes de Noël ?

C'était bien Les Yeux de ma mère d'Arno, mais en langage coluxien

Je relance.

C'est un type qui parle d'un félidé qui veut terminer sur une bonne note. Charles Perrault n'est pas loin…

Celle-là, je ne peux pas la laisser passer...

Citation :

J'enfile des perles à rebours
Capitaine prend la nemo
C'est pas uniquement un bruit qui court
Souris dansez, notez greffier

Le Chat veut en finir en beauté

Ballerina cache une ride
Lézard premier degré
Mona Lisa suit le guide
Tu me fais croquer, fromage râpé

Le Chat veut en finir en beauté

Le Chat veut en finir en beauté

Alain...

Ch'est chat.

A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a pack on his back
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
Made a home in the wilderness
He built a cabin and a winter store
And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
And the other travellers came riding down the track
And they never went further, no, they never went back
Then came the churches then came the schools
Then came the lawyers then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road

Then came the mines - then came the ore
Then there was the hard times then there was a war
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Telegraph Road got so deep and so wide
Like a rolling river. . .

And my radio says tonight its gonna freeze
People driving home from the factories
Theres six lanes of traffic
Three lanes moving slow. . .

I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I got a right to go to work but theres no work here to be found
Yes and they say were gonna have to pay whats owed
Were gonna have to reap from some seed thats been sowed
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
All the way down the Telegraph Road

You know Id sooner forget but I remember those nights
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder like you dont seem to care
But believe in me baby and Ill take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
cos Ive run every red light on memory lane
Ive seen desperation explode into flames
And I dont want to see it again. . .

OK, OK, j'allais m'éditer pour préciser "l'histoire de l'ouest" mais Colux a déjà sévi

C'est un type qui se demande si la planète rouge est habitée.

Bon, personne ne veut jouer avec Colux et moi
Donc Life on Mars de Bowie.

Je ne connais rien à la chanson, mais j'irai parier sur Allo à l'OVNI, de Ringo !

So this is permanence -
Love shattered pride
What once was innocence,
turned on its side
A cloud hangs over me,
marks every move
Deep in the memory,
what once was love

Oh how I've realized, I wanted time
Put into perspective,
try so hard to find
Just for one moment I thought
I'd got my way
Destiny unfolded -
watched it slip away

Excessive flash points,
beyond all reach
Solitary demands for all
I'd like to keep
Let's take a ride out,
see what we can find
Valueless collection of hopes
and past desires

I never realized the lengths
I'd have to go
All the darkest corners of a sense
I didn't know
Just for one moment -
hearing someone call
Looked beyond the day in hand
There's nothing there at all

Now that I've realized how it's
all gone wrong
Got to find some therapy -
this treatment takes too long
Deep in the heart of where
sympathy held sway
Got to find my destiny before
it gets too late
