Ah le chien ! le chien ! yo, le chien!
[Sifflements / Whistling]
Allez le chien!

Ce matin est venu gratter à la porte le chien
Qui m'a fait gober qu'avec ma peau il pourrait tailler des shorts
Généralement j'ouvre pas aux chiens colporteurs
Tous leur brol, leur barda qui pue la poussière
Mais là j'avais besoin de causer alors j'ai laissé rentrer
Et depuis cette matinée il est resté dans mes pieds
Le chien du cadavre
Aime dégueuler les décolletés en papier pour des poupées en plastoc
Il met son coeur et son âme dans le tressage d'une côte de maille
Pour que je sortes dans la rue comme un vrai chevalier
Et ne plus avoir les joues qui brûlent et le coeur qui s'emballe
Le chien!

... Un refrain:
Il est mon presse-papier, mon aspirine
Il est mon presse-purée et ma mousseline
Il est ma traînée et ma ballerine
Il est mon parapluie et mon gourdin
Il est mon pyjama et mon training
Il est mon trophée sur ma cheminée
Le chien du cadavre

Le chien du cadavre
Collecte soigneusement mes cimetières de peau morte
Il en fait des petits tas qu'à l'étranger il exporte
Le chien n'aboie pas, il m'écrit des mots doux avec des nic-nac
Et le soir de grand froid, je me blottis contre ses couilles
Deux bouillottes douces et chaudes avec un goût de guimauve
Il me chante sous sa peau des berceuses à l'eau de rose
Il enterre ses vieux os dans mon artère aorte
Colle des chewing-gum comme des rustines quand mon coeur claque la porte
Le chien du cadavre me promène en forêt
Marche sur des feuilles mortes qui font des bruits de frigolite
Le chien ce poète, ah ce poète ...

Petite poésie du chien:
Il est mon presse-papier mon aspirine
Il est mon presse-purée et ma mousseline
Il est ma traînée et ma ballerine
Il est mon parapluie et mon gourdin
Il est mon pyjama et mon training
Il est mon trophée sur ma cheminée
Le chien du cadavre

Le chien du cadavre
Dort dans mon lit, me lit des livres de cuisine, me fait des doudouces quand je ne trouve pas le sommeil
Le chien du cadavre est le meilleur calmant que j'ai trouvé à ma vie
Je ... je ... il m'accompagne partout au bureau, dans la rue, ...
J'arrive à mieux parler aux filles,
Merci le chien du cadavre

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
