Vous etes chère grande artiste
La plus charmante des amis
Et l'hôtesse la plus exquise
Que n'ait jamais connue Paris
Chez vous c'est toujours table ouverte
On y côtoie le monde entier
Des diplomates et dse poètes
Mais les mondanités passées
Libérée de ton enveloppe
Tu deviens dans l'intimité
La plus formidable salope
Qu'une mere n'ait enfantée

Je sais que vous, je sais que tu
Vous que j'admire
Toi qui m'attires
Je sais que vous, je sais que tu
Es respectable, mais sans vertu

Nul ne sait que l'on est complices
Nos rapports semblent anodins
Jamais vos yeux ne vous trahissent
S'ils croisent un instant les miens
A l'heure où votre époux en scène
Joue de Musset subventionné
Vous venez jusqu'à mon septième
Ciel et enfer de nos pechés
Et sur mon lit, nue et offerte
Délaissant tes airs de statue
Tu te révèles plus experte
Qu'une sirène de la rue

Je sais que vous, je sais que tu
Vous que j'admire
Toi qui m'attires
Je sais que vous, je sais que tu
Es respectable, mais sans vertu

Sur vos coussins de velours tendre
Sous l'or qui orne vos salons
Vos amis viennent vous entendre
Precher pour la révolution
Le cou chargé de pierres fines
Payées par l'or de vos contrats
Vous jouez de facon divine
Le rôle de Passionaria
Prete à tout brûler sur la terre
Mais la nuit quand tu viens me voir
C'est toi qu'as le feu aux artères
Aux artères et puis autre part

Je sais que vous, je sais que tu
Vous que j'admire
Toi qui m'attires
Je sais que vous, je sais que tu
Es respectable, mais sans vertu

Le verre en cristal de Bohème
Donne au vin rouge un autre goût
Quant au caviar, c'est sans problème
Puisqu'il vient tout droit de Bakou
Vous savez de facon subtile
Manger à tous les rateliers
Faut des appuis, c'est très utile
Et des amis de tous côtés
Vous de gauche, allons ca m'épate
Quand j'ai le sentiment, ma chère
Que tu n'es pas si maladroite
Quand tu veux t'envoyer en l'air

Je sais que vous, je sais que tu
Vous que j'admire
Toi qui m'attires
Je sais que vous, je sais que tu
Es respectable, mais sans vertu

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.
