Missing in the rain
Comme dans le "Singe en hiver", rêvant de "Mer de Chine"
De maintes et mille chimères que le vent de "T´ien-Tsin" balaye au soleil levant:
J´aiguille mes nuits de vaines morphines, laissant les bras de "Morphéeé"
Embrassant les divines fées de traversée facile
Ange aux mirages éphémères, tes démons "héroïne" mélangent en mon univers
L´amer limon, l´orange sanguine et la ciguë
Dans mon vers ondoient les sphinges a corps de lion au ciel des jardin
"Des babylone de Babylone".
Sans elles, comment prendre mon envol? Sans toi, je dégringole
Mais chaque fois que "l´abandon" me berce, la voix de "Cupidon" s´en mèle
Et me transperce de tridents qui versent en mon sang,
La céleste essence scellant ma dépendance
Chaque fois ton poison m´ensorcelle, je bois
Tant que ma raison chancelle!
Et je me plonge dans un bain dénué d´eceuil,
Aux nuées des songes emnués de "Gabin" et "Verneuil"
Comme un poisson volant, je navigue entre deux mondes en fillant
D´un poison l´autre, allant d´un sérum à un autre
Et d´un abandon l´autre je te fuis, je t´attends au fil de mes nuist blanches
Mais ne croit pas que je serai ta proie!
Je débouterai le "Minotaure" du labyrhinte où j´erre en ton empreinte.
Et j´harponnerai le "Léviathan" dans l´océan fourieux où je me noie.
Je combattrai "l´Imperator" qui règne en moi,
Et les dieux et les rois, dans le choc des titans!
"Hô Chi Ming-Ville" l´ancienne "Saigon" file dans mes veines
Et m´assaillent hostiles, fulminent, m´aliènent
Les dragons des pandémoniums
Et "Shangai",
"Tai-wan" l´ancienne "Formose" s´écoulent en mes nuits diluviennes
Et m´assaillent l´alcool de riz, la foule, les fumeries d´opium
Quitte mon delirium "Aphrodite" ou que tu reviennes!

Quand la "Loire, lent serpent docile,
Prends au soir les semblans du "Nil",
La "Lune" s´y endort et son fils d´or tend mon lit de fortune,
Où je m´invente en mon exil un corridor parmi la brume
Qui mène au dunes et pyramides,
Au blanc phosphore des écumes
chaque fois que je monte en l´Olympe,
Tournoient les sillons de ta nimbe.
Et je retombe dans les tourbillons de ma flamme, du toit du monde,
Pandu au long de ta palme.
Chaque fois ton putain de soleil flamboie!
Qui l´atteint se brûle les ailes!
Et comme "Icare", je bascule au sempiternel
Et se réveille se mal que j´ai au fond de moi
Dans l´entonnoir de mes nuits sans sommeil, tourne en moi ta vision
Au fond je sombre avec!
Et je bois à ta victoire et je te délaye dans l´urinoir, ma jolie
Et que j´essuie mon échec!.
Car ne croit pas que je serai ton esclave!
Je deviendrai ce "gladiateur" qui dans l´arène c´est délivré des chaînes.
Et je vaincrai la "mandragore" qui agit en moi de la pis magie noire.
Je renierai le "Créateur" qui se déchaîne comme il fit
Autrefois à "Sodome" et "Gomorrhe"!
"Hô Chi Ming-Ville" l´ancienne "Saigon" file dans mes veines
Et m´assaillent hostiles, fulminent, m´aliènent
Les dragons des pandémoniums
Et "Shangai",
"Tai-wan" l´ancienne "Formose" s´écoulent en mes nuits diluviennes
Et m´assaillent l´alcool de riz, la foule, les fumeries d´opium
Quitte mon delirium "Aphrodite" ou que tu reviennes!
Ou que tu reviennes

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,
