Regardez-moi
Je suis le plus beau du quartier
J'suis l'bien aimé
Dès qu'on me voit
On se sent tout comme envoûté
Comme charmé
Lorsque j'arrive
Les femmes elles me frôlent de leurs
Regards penchés
Bien malgré moi (oui)
Je suis le plus beau du quartier (hum hum hum)

Est-ce mon visage
Ma peau si finement grainée
Mon air suave
Est-ce mon allure
Est-ce la grâce anglo-saxonne
De ma cambrure
Est-ce mon sourire
Ou bien l'élégance distinguée
De mes cachemires
Quoi qu'il en soit
C'est moi le plus beau du quartier mais

Mais prenez garde à ma beauté
À mon exquise ambigüité
Je suis le roi
Du désirable
Et je suis l'indéshabillable

Observez-moi (hum hum hum)
Observez-moi de haut en bas
Vous n'en verrez pas deux comme ça
J'suis l'favori
Le bel ami
De toutes ces dames
Et d'leurs maris aussi

Regardez-moi
Je suis le plus beau du quartier
J'suis le préféré
Mes belles victimes
Voudraient se pendre à mes lacets
Ca les abîme
Les beaux messieurs, eux
Voudraient tellement m'déshabiller
Ça les obstine
Bien malgré moi (oui)
Je suis le plus beau du quartier

Mais prenez garde à ma beauté
À mon exquise ambigüité
Je suis le roi
Du désirable
Et je suis l'indéshabillable

Observez-moi (hum hum hum)
Observez-moi de haut en bas
Vous n'en verrez pas deux comme ça
J'suis l'favori
Le p'tit bel ami
De toutes ces dames
Et d'leurs maris aussi

    I don't fancy the lyrics very much, but since I can't speak french very well I don't think about it's meaning. I just listen to her voice and the music. Enchanting.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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,

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
