Nous représentions pour beaucoup
L’image du couple solide
L’exemple à désigner du doigt
Jusqu’au jour où rentrant chez nous
J’ai trouvé l’appartement vide
Cela ne te ressemblait pas
Je n’aurais pas cru ça de toi

Placards béants, tiroirs vidés
C’est fou ce que le coeur encaisse
Quand le bonheur vole en éclats
Hier encore tu jurais m’aimer
Et tu pars sans laisser d’adresse
Sans un mot griffonné, pourquoi ?
Je n’aurais pas cru ça de toi

Je n’aurais pas cru ça de toi
Moi pauvre fou qui prétendais
Que rien au monde ne pourrait
Briser un couple, comme le nôtre
Et muré dans mon désarroi
Je comprends que ces choses-là
Hélas ! n’arrivent pas qu’aux autres

On ne peut tomber de plus haut
Tout se brouille en moi quand je songe
Que l’amour s’est joué de moi
Tes serments n’étaient que des mots
Sous lesquels filtraient tes mensonges
Que tu distillais de sang-froid
Je n’aurais pas cru ça de toi

Trois jours sans dormir ni manger
J’ai relancé crevant d’angoisse
Hôpitaux et commissariats
Et puis j’ai dû me résigner
À voir la vérité en face
Tu m’avais rayé d’une croix
Je n’aurais pas cru ça de toi

Sans réfléchir j’ai allumé
Cigarette après cigarette
Bien qu’ayant banni le tabac
Mais que m’importe ma santé ?
Le ciel me tombait sur la tête
Le sol s’écroulait sous mes pas
Je n’aurais pas cru ça de toi

Je n’aurais pas cru ça de toi
J’avais confiance et rien de plus
Personne au monde n’aurait pu
Jeter le trouble dans mon âme
Ma tête sous le couperet
J’aurais juré que tu étais
Différente des autres femmes

Si par bonheur tu revenais
Je n’en crois rien mais qui peut dire
Je saurais étouffer en moi
Les voix du mal que tu m’as fait
Mais dans mes yeux tu pourras lire
Sur fond de détresse et de joie
Tu vois, je n’aurais pas cru ça
De toi

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.

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.

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."

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.
