On va casser nos sacs de billes
Et puis tout dépenser d'un coup
On va s'acheter des trucs qui brillent
Du whisky des caramels mous
On va se pousser jusqu'au petit jour
Même s'il faut faire quelques détours
On va escalader la nuit

On dirait qu'on serait que nous
On jouerait à pas voir les gens
Y a une forêt avec des loups
Dans l' quatorzième arrondissement
Il faut surtout pas se parler d'amour
A cheval sur le dos de la nuit
On peut grimper plus haut que les tours
Pourvu que Dieu nous prête un lit

Il faut laisser les somnambules
Courir sur le bord des fenêtres
Nos désirs sont fragiles
Oui aujourd'hui demain peut-être
Et nos cœurs sont des bulles
Vers le sommet des villes
Promets-moi de ne rien me promettre
Promets-moi de ne rien me promettre

Paraît qu'y en a les yeux fermés
Qu'on fait des très très longs voyages
C'est pour ça que les soirs en été
On voit leur tête dans les nuages

On va se serrer très fort les mains
Se shooter à l'odeur de nos corps
En peu de temps on se connaîtra bien
C'est important quand on s'endort

Il faut laisser les somnambules
Courir sur le bord des fenêtres
Nos désirs sont fragiles
Oui aujourd'hui demain peut-être
Et nos cœurs sont des bulles
Vers le sommet des villes
Promets-moi de ne rien me promettre
Promets-moi de ne rien me promettre

Promets-moi de ne rien me promettre
Me promettre

Il faut laisser les somnambules
Courir sur le bord des fenêtres
Nos désirs sont fragiles
Oui aujourd'hui demain peut-être
Et nos cœurs sont des bulles
L'avenir est inutile
Promets-moi de ne rien me promettre

Il faut laisser les somnambules
Courir sur le bord des fenêtres
Nos désirs sont fragiles
Oui aujourd'hui demain peut-être
Et nos cœurs sont des bulles
L'avenir est inutile
Promets-moi de ne rien me promettre

Il faut laisser les somnambules
Courir sur le bord des fenêtres
Nos désirs sont fragiles
Oui aujourd'hui demain peut-être
Et nos cœurs sont des bulles
L'avenir est inutile
Promets-moi de ne rien me promettre

Il faut laisser les somnambules
Courir sur le bord des fenêtres
Nos désirs sont fragiles
Oui aujourd'hui demain peut-être
Et nos cœurs sont des bulles
L'avenir est inutile
Promets-moi de ne rien me promettre

    This is my favourite of Lemarchal. The translation in English, would be about that:

    Promise me

    We're going to break our marble bags And then spend it all in one go We'll buy shiny things Whiskey, fudge We'll go on till dawn Even if we make a few detours We will climb over the night

    We'll live like there's nobody but us We'll act like we don't see the other people There's a forest with wolves In the fourteenth district First of all we must not talk about love As we ride the night We can go higher than towers Provided that God lends us a bed

    Chorus: We should let the sleepwalkers Run on the windowsills Our desires are fragile Yes, today and maybe tomorrow And our hearts are bubbles Flying to the top of the cities Promise me not to promise me anything Promise me not to promise me anything

    I was told some people just closed their eyes And embarked on very, very long journeys That's why on summer nights One can see their faces in the clouds

    We'll hold hands very tight High on our bodies' skin scent In no time we'll get to know each other well It is important when we fall asleep

    Chorus

    Promise me not to promise me anything Promise me

    We should let the sleepwalkers Run on the windowsills Our desires are fragile Yes, today and maybe tomorrow And our hearts are bubbles The future is useless Promise me not to promise me anything

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.

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
