Loin des projos, loin des télés
Et des animateurs blaireaux
Tous ces crétins dégénérés
Fringués, coiffés comme des proxos
Loin des journaux et des radios
Des interviews conformistes
Par des zombies mongolitos
Un peu nazes, souvent fumistes
Loin des questions parfois obscènes
Ridicules ou bien vicelardes
Des nullos de la bande FM
Rois de la musique ringarde

Pour vivre heureux, je vis caché
Au fond de mon bistrot peinard
Dans la lumière tamisée
Loin de ce monde de bavards

Loin des boîtes, des fêtes branchées
De la jet-set et du showbizz
Des pétasses cocaïnées
Et des bellâtres à la dérive
Loin des premières où tout Paris
Vient poser sans aucun scrupule
Pour quelques pauvres paparazzi
Qui aiment mitrailler les nuls
Loin des cocktails, des dîners
Des mondanités imbéciles
Entre starlettes d'un seul été
Au QI frisant le débile

Pour vivre heureux, je vis caché
Au fond de mon bistrot peinard
Avec mes potes, des vrais de vrais
Loin de ce monde de fêtards

Loin des meetings, des réunions
Des manifestations de rues
J'écoute la colère qui fond
Sur nos dirigeants corrompus
Mais bouger mon cul, m'engager
C'est pas demain que vous m'y reprendrez
A part peut-être José Bové
Qui pourrais-je jamais aimer?
Je rêve d'un monde plus humain

Et je laisse parler ce bras
Les pétitions c'est plutôt bien
Mais vous n'y verrez plus mon blaze

Pour vivre heureux, je vis caché
Au fond de mon bistrot peinard
Taciturne, désabusé
Loin de ce monde de barbares

Loin des conversations minables
Sur les charmes surfabriqués
De quelques ados improbables
Dans un loft télévisé
Très loin des stars académiques
Et des popstars de mes deux
Qui sont un peu à la musique
Ce que le diable est au bon dieu
J'irai pas prendre quelques bâtons
Pour servir la soupe à ces branques
Les télés vous prennent pour des cons
J'irai pas chanter pour ces glands

Pour vivre heureux, je vis caché
Au fond de mon bistrot peinard
Dans la lumière tamisée
Loin de ce monde de ringards

Pour vivre heureux, je vis caché
Au fond de mon bistrot peinard
Dans la lumière tamisée
Loin de ce monde de ringards

De ringards

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.

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.

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,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
