Quand tu t'es pointé sur la zone
Qui pousse au pied de mon HLM
Tu as garé ton vieux Savième
Près d'un pilonne
Z'avaient rangé vos caravanes
Comme les chariots dans un western
Soudain dans ma banlieue minable
C'était moins terne
Toi, ta famille, tes chiens, tes mômes
Tes cousins, tes frangins, tes poules
C'est comme une grande bouffée d'ozone
Quand ça déboule

Salut le gitan
Salut le manouche
Tu te souviens de moi?
Tu m'avais filé ton canif
Toi tu te prends toujours pour Cartouche
Moi j'ai toujours pas mon certif

Mario fait toujours le rémouleur
Angelo fabrique ses paniers
Moi je sais bien que dans ces petits métiers
Faut faire son beurre
Il faut avoir des à coté
Toi t'en as toujours eu un max
Du genre qui font que quand t'es gaulé
Et ben tu casques
Tiré la bagnole à un cave
J'appelle pourtant pas ça un crime
C'est toujours aux bourgeois qui friment
Que tu les chouraves

Salut le gitan
Salut le manouche
Tu te souviens d'moi?
Tu m'avais filé ton vieux peigne
Cigarillo au coin d'la bouche
T'as bien toujours la même dégaine

T'as toujours ton sacré clébard
Croisement de bâtard avec bâtard
Tu voulais me le vendre un milliard
Je les avais pas
T'as encore un nouveau tatouage
Moi j'ai fait trois points sur la main
Et je me suis fait percé l'oreille
Par un copain
Mais ça plaisait pas au dirlo
Alors y m'a viré de l'école
Si je le croise dans la rue ce mariole
Je lui fait la peau

Salut le gitan
Salut le manouche
Tu te souviens de moi?
T'avais failli me donner ta montre
Ma mère m'a dit que t'avais l'air louche
Moi je me fous de ce que les vieux racontent

Si tu retournes bientôt aux baumettes
Essaie d'dire bonjour à mon vieux
Dis-y que j'ai retrouvé ses lunettes
Au d'sous son pieu
Dis-y qu'y s'inquiète pas pour moi
Son fiston c'est pas un gageo
Dès que j'ai quinze ans je trouve un boulot
Et je fais comme toi
Je me paye une vieille DS ruinée
Une caravane et un clébard
Je laisse les cons dans leur clapier
Et puis je me barre

Salut le gitan
Salut le manouche
Tu te souviens de moi?
Tu m'avais filé ton canif
Toi tu te prends toujours pour Cartouche
Moi j'ai toujours pas mon certif

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
