Mon oncle, un fameux bricoleur
Faisait en amateur des bombes atomiques
Sans avoir jamais rien appris
C'était un vrai génie question travaux pratiques
Il s'enfermait toute la journée
Au fond d'son atelier pour faire des expériences
Et le soir il rentrait chez nous
Et nous mettait en transe en nous racontant tout

Pour fabriquer une bombe A, mes enfants croyez-moi
C'est vraiment de la tarte
La question du détonateur s'résout en un quart d'heure
C'est de celles qu'on écarte
En c'qui concerne la bombe H c'est pas beaucoup plus vache
Mais une chose me tourmente
C'est qu'celles de ma fabrication
N'ont qu'un rayon d'action de trois mètres cinquante
Y a quelque chose qui cloche là-dedans
J'y retourne immédiatement

Il a bossé pendant des jours
Tâchant avec amour d'améliorer l'modèle
Quand il déjeunait avec nous
Il dévorait d'un coup sa soupe aux vermicelles
On voyait à son air féroce qu'il tombait sur un os
Mais on n'osait rien dire
Et puis un soir pendant l'repas
V'là tonton qui soupire et qui s'écrie comme ça

À mesure que je deviens vieux je m'en aperçois mieux
J'ai le cerveau qui flanche
Soyons sérieux, disons le mot
C'est même plus un cerveau c'est comme de la sauce blanche
Voilà des mois et des années que j'essaye d'augmenter la portée de ma bombe
Et je ne m'suis pas rendu compte que la seule chose qui compte
C'est l'endroit où s'qu'elle tombe
Y a quelque chose qui cloche là-dedans
J'y retourne immédiatement

Sachant proche le résultat
Tous les grands chefs d'État lui ont rendu visite
Il les reçut et s'excusa de ce que sa cagna était aussi petite
Mais sitôt qu'ils sont tous entrés
Il les a enfermés en disant "soyez sages"
Et, quand la bombe a explosé
De tous ces personnages il n'en est plus rien resté

Tonton devant ce résultat ne se dégonfla pas
Et joua les andouilles
Au Tribunal on l'a traîné
Et devant les jurés le voilà qui bafouille
Messieurs c'est un hasard affreux
Mais je jure devant Dieu que mon âme ait conscience
En détruisant tous ces tordus
Je suis bien convaincu d'avoir servi la France
On était dans l'embarras alors on l'condamna
Et puis on l'amnistia
Et l'pays reconnaissant l'élut immédiatement
Chef du gouvernement!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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/
