Le ciel est bleu, le vent du large
Creuse la mer bien joliment.
Vers le port, montant à la charg',
Galopent ses escadrons blancs.
C'est un port tout au bord du mond'
Dont les rues s'ouvrent sur l'infini
Mais de là, comm' la terre est ronde,
On n' voit pas les États-Unis.

Mmm Tout l' mond' s'en fout, il y a du bonheur,
Il y a un bar chez Rita la blonde.
Tout l' mond' s'en fout, il y a du bonheur
À l'enseign' de la Fille Sans Coeur !
L'accordéon joue en majeur
Les refrains de ce vaste monde.
Y a Rita et ses accroch's coeur
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Coeur.

Dans ce p'tit bar, c'est là qu'ell' règne.
On voit flamber sa toison d'or.
Sa bouche est comme un fruit qui saign'
Mais on dit que son coeur est mort.
Pourtant les gars sont là, tout drôl's :
Les p'tits, les durs, les malabars
Qui entr'nt en roulant des épaul's
'y en a qui sont venus d'Dakar.

Mmm y en a d'Anvers, 'y en a d'Honfleur,
Bourlinguant parfois jusqu'au Pôle.
Ils la regard'nt, c'est tout leur bonheur,
Mais pas un n' connaît ses faveurs.
L'accordéon joue en majeur
Tous les airs : les tristes, les drôles...
Y a la bell' blond' cett' rose en fleur
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Coeur.

L' patron connaissait la musiqu' :
Il aimait le son des écus.
Il disait à sa fille uniqu' :
"Fuis l'amour, c'est du temps perdu !"
Mais un soir, la mer faisait rage...
On vit entrer un étranger
Aux beaux yeux d'azur sans nuag's.
C'est alors que tout a changé...

Mmm Il a r'gardé la fille sans coeur.
Elle était comme un ciel d'orage.
Quelqu'un a fait : "'y a un malheur"
On entendait battre les coeurs.
L'accordéon joue en mineur un' chanson
"Dans le vent sauvage".
Y a une fill', le visage en pleurs,
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Coeur.

Il a dit : "C'est toi, ma divine !"
Elle a dit : "Oui je suis à toi...!"
Elle a pleuré sur sa poitrine,
Il la serrait entre ses bras.
Les autres alors, mélancoliqu's,
Sont partis avec un soupir...
Le vent chantait sur l'Atlantiqu'
Pour ce coeur qui venait de s'ouvrir.

Mmm Ils ont filé vers leur grand bonheur.
Le patron dut fermer boutique.
On l'a vu boir' toutes ses liqueurs
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Coeur,
L'accordéon accapareur
qu'a jamais eu l'sens du comique
A mis le bureau du Percepteur
À l'enseigne de la Fille Sans Coeur...

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.

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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
