J'assemble chaque matin des pièces de ma vbie
Je rassemble des sourires à montrer aux gens
Pour paraitre bien aimable
Parce qu'au fond je boite, la tête dans une boite
Ca me crève les yeux, empétré, trop anxieux
Alors je lèche mes larmes, rien ne sèche le drame
Quand les autres m'alignent
Quand les autres s'acharnent
De long en large, ma vie en marge
Faudrait que je calque mes pas sur mes voisins de palier
Avec ma vision do monde décalé
Maus why'a rien pour classer ma passion, mon metier.
Je rentre pas dans les cases
Je rentrerais jamais dans votre cage.
Et alors ?
See'est ma vie see'est mon puzzle
Je suis souvent soumis à des tonnes d'a priori
Je me répands des fois de trop moi
Vouloir montrer que j' aboie
Plus fort que toi, mais j'ai les paumes qui tremblent
Et l'inconnu je l'appréhende
Cherchant souvent mes yeux d'enfants
De vieux tourments
Sement le doute font que parfois je mense
Et que même je triche alors sur mes mains je crache
Je mords mes lèvres
J'en bave ma sève
Je pleure mon venin
De ne savoir rien
Coupé par mille larmes je me sens laid
Mais see'est comme ça qu'on m'a fait
Je ne suis pas quelqu'un de sage
J'entrerais jamais dans leur cage
Il n'en tient qu'à moi seul
Lancez moi des pierres à mille contre un seul
Ma vanité me sert, elle me protège de vos sales gueules
Pense comme tu le sens, moi je ne sens plus rien
Je vous tourne le dos, je suis déjà loin
J'entrerais jamais dans cette cage.

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,

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
