On est un peu jaloux qu'ils arrivent avant nous
Mais on les laisse passer dans les embouteillages
Quand les motards te font merci avec les pieds
Ce ne sont pas les êtres humains
Mais une espèce de Martien Terrien
Ils ne connaissent pas, non, la langue des mains
Il faut les voir foncer libres comme l'air
Heureux comme des goélands
Ils ont l'air épanoui un casque sur la tête
Et à leurs mains des gants
Ils font tout sur leur moto
Mais la seule chose qu'ils ne pourront pas
C'est dormir en roulant sinon le drap s'envolera

Dans les embouteillages
Tu penses autant au temps qu'au temps
Où tu n'auras plus d'ongles
Et où tu te mang'ras les dents
Les Harley à crédit, les Japonaises débridées
Passent entre les camions-citernes, et les 4L de pompiers

Les filles sont en voiture contrairement aux motards
Qui eux sont en moto bien qu'il y ait des filles en moto
Mais sous leur cuir on ne les voit pas bien
On ne voit pas leurs seins
Surtout que sous un casque on peux pas deviner
Si c'est un vieux hippie, un vieux skinhead ou une pure beauté
Si par hasard dans un embouteillage tu croises la femme de ta vie
Mais, assis à côté d'elle il y a déjà un petit mari barbu, poilu mais gentil
Remballe ton sourire de veau
Tourne la tête pour ne pas avoir l'air idiot
Et fais semblant de réparer ta radio, de redresser ton rétro

Dans les embouteillages
Tu penses autant au temps qu'au temps
Où tu n'auras plus d'ongles
Et où tu te mang'ras les dents
Les Harley à crédit les Japonaises débridées
Passent entre les camions-citernes, et les 4L de pompiers

Quand les filles se maquillent dans les rétroviseurs
Moi j'ai même pas peur
Qu'elles oublient de freiner et les routiers, les pauvres routiers
Qui mangent sur leur petit tabouret
Sur le parking de chez Total, sous la pluie, du haut de leur cabine
Les traitent de femme au volant
Parce que dans le fond ils sont tout seuls, ils sont seuls comme des chiens
Mais en secret ils aimeraient bien les emmener chez eux, loin, loin, loin, loin

Amoureux des sirènes, les ambulanciers
Sont les marins des départementales
Salauds de séducteurs ils ont une infirmière dans chaque hôpital
Dans chaque hôpital, dans chaque hôpital
Ils collectionnent les filles, ils multiplient les aventures
Mais leur spécialité c'est l'amour en voiture
Sais-tu qu'il y a des infirmiers qui soignent les blessés
En leur mettant des disques et des cassettes?
La musicothérapie au service de la fracture ouverte
Pour un lumbago, Nougaro ou alors Django
Une jambe cassée AC/DC et c'est soigné

Dans les embouteillages
Tu penses autant au temps qu'au temps
Où tu n'auras plus d'ongles
Et où tu te mang'ras les dents
Les Harley à crédit, les Japonaises débridées
Passent entre les camions-citernes, et les 4L de pompiers

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

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.
