À force de briser dans mes mains des guitares
Sur des scènes violentes, sous des lumières bizarres
À force de forcer ma force à cet effort
Pour faire bouger mes doigts
Pour faire vibrer mon corps

À force de laisser la sueur brûler mes yeux
À force de crier mon amour jusqu'au cieux
À force de jeter mon cœur dans un micro
Portant les projecteurs
Comme une croix dans le dos

J'ai oublié de vivre
J'ai oublié de vivre

À force de courir la Terre comme un éclair
Brisant les murs du son en bouquets de laser
À force de jeter mes trésors au brasier
Brûlant tout en un coup
Pour vous faire crier

À force de changer la couleur de ma peau
Ma voix portant les cris qui viennent du ghetto
À force d'être un Dieu, Hell's Angel ou Bohème
L'amour dans une main
Et dans l'autre la haine

J'ai oublié de vivre
J'ai oublié de vivre

À force de briser dans mes mains des guitares
Sur des scènes violentes, sous des lumières bizarres
À force d'oublier qu'il y a la société
M'arrachant du sommeil
Pour me faire chanter

À force de courir sur les routes du Monde
Pour les yeux d'une brune ou le corps d'une blonde
À force d'être enfin sans arrêt le coupable
Le voleur, le pilleur, le violent admirable

J'ai oublié de vivre
J'ai oublié de vivre
J'ai oublié de vivre
J'ai oublié de vivre

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,

Amazing

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
