Vous avez lu l'histoire de Jesse James
Comment il vécut, comment il est mort
Ça vous a plu, hein, vous en d'mandez encore
Eh bien, écoutez l'histoire de Bonnie and Clyde

Alors voilà, Clyde a une petite amie
Elle est belle et son prénom c'est Bonnie
À eux deux, ils forment le gang Barrow
Leurs noms, Bonnie Parker et Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Moi, lorsque j'ai connu Clyde autrefois
C'était un gars loyal, honnête et droit
Il faut croire que c'est la société
Qui m'a définitivement abîmé

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Qu'est-ce qu'on a pas écrit sur elle et moi
On prétend que nous tuons de sang-froid
C'est pas drôle, mais on est bien obligé
De faire taire celui qui s'met à gueuler

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Chaque fois qu'un policeman se fait buter
Qu'un garage ou qu'une banque se fait braquer
Pour la police, ça ne fait pas d'mystère
C'est signé Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Maintenant, chaque fois qu'on essaie d'se ranger
De s'installer tranquilles dans un meublé
Dans les trois jours, voilà le tac, tac, tac
Des mitraillettes qui reviennent à l'attaque

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

Un de ces quatre, nous tomberons ensemble
Moi j'm'en fous, c'est pour Bonnie que je tremble
Quelle importance qu'ils me fassent la peau
Moi Bonnie, je tremble pour Clyde Barrow

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

De toute façon, ils n'pouvaient plus s'en sortir
La seule solution, c'était mourir
Mais plus d'un les a suivis en enfer
Quand sont morts Barrow et Bonnie Parker

Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde

    This song is SUPER sexy. You can feel the sexual energy coming off the singers' voices and the melody. A damn fine song, I say.

    You read the story of Jesse James How he lived, how he died. Did it please you? You ask for more. Listen, here's the story of Bonnie and Clyde.

    So, Clyde has a girlfriend. She's beautiful and her first name is Bonnie. Both are the Barrow gang. Their names : Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    Once, when I knew Clyde He was a loyal, honest and upright guy. I believe it must be society That definitely corrupted me. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    What shouldn't have been written about her and me! They pretend we kill in cold blood. It's not funny but we are forced To cause the shouting one to shut up. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    Every time a policeman is killed That a garage or a bank is broken in For the police, it has no mystery. It's signed : Clyde Barrow, Bonnie Parker. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    Now, every time we try to barricade ourselves To sit quietly in a nice looking flat About 3 days, there's the rat-tat-tat Of submachine guns that come back to attack. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    One of these days, we'll fall together. I don't care! If I tremble, it's for Bonnie. What's the importance if they liquidate us? Me, Bonnie, I tremble for Clyde Barrow. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    Anyway, we couldn't get away from here. The only solution was dying But more than one followed them in Hell When Barrow and Bonnie Parker passed away. Bonnie and Clyde, Bonnie and Clyde.

    FIY, it has been sampled many times, listen to MC Solaar's "Nouveau Western" and Kylie's "Sensitized" - you'll recognize it.

    Brigitte Bardot was really hot; I am always puzzled why the French have not produced any female in her kind of "clibre" for the last 50 years ??????!!!! (Answers on a stamp; please).

    Any person or group of people who treat another human being in a completely inhumane, despicable and brutally reprehensible manner SHOULD feel remorse. If they don't, and they simply shrug their shoulders, that is gross. And if they try to romanticize their disgusting behavior by calling themselves "Bonnie and Clyde", that is enough to make any sane individual want to vomit. Some people think they are "above the law".

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
