Qu'est-ce qui nous tente?
Qu'est-ce qui nous donne ces envies?
Qu'est-ce qui nous enchante
Qu'est-ce qui nous réveille la nuit?
Souvent souvent c'est les certitudes, de temps en temps c'est la solitude
Très peu pour moi les habitudes sinon j'vais passer pour un con

Qu'est-ce qu'on en pense?
Mais qu'est-ce qu'on se marre tous les deux
Mais qu'est-ce qu'on supporte?
Qu'est-ce qui pourrait bien nous rendre heureux?
Un souffle autour du cou
Un repas ciné pour deux
Franchir le rubicond, voire mieux
Sinon j'vais passer pour un

Mais dans un sens partir vaut mieux
Que de souffrir de négligence
On pourrait s'ouvrir dans tous les sens
Ça n'aurait plus d'importance

Qu'est-ce qui nous tente?
Qu'est-ce qui nous donne ces envies?
Mais qu'est-ce qui m'arrive?
Qu'est-ce que je fais encore ici?
On a bien plus d'habitudes qu'on avait de certitudes
Et plus encore de solitude que l'on avait pris d'altitude

Mais dans un sens partir vaut mieux
Que de souffrir de négligence
On pourrait, hmm-tous les sens
Ça n'aurait plus d'importance

Faut pas se laisser gagner
Par l'euphorie de croire que l'on est un homme important
Faut pas se laisser gagner
Par l'euphorie de croire que l'on est un homme important
Faut pas se laisser gagner
Par l'euphorie de croire que l'on est un homme important
Faut pas se laisser gagner
Par l'euphorie de croire que l'on est un homme important
Faut pas se laisser gagner
Par l'euphorie de croire que l'on est un homme important

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.

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."
