LA CANTINE
Georges Larriaga

Je préfère manger à la cantine
Avec les copains et les copines
Et même si la viande est dure comme du caoutchouc
Au moins je suis sur de rigoler un bon coup

Je préfère manger à la cantine
Même si le beurre c'est de la margarine
Tant pis s'il y a des cailloux dans les épinards
Je préfère manger au réfectoire

A la maison on ne peut pas manger avec les doigts
C'est défendu de jouer aux billes avec les petits pois
Ce n'est pas marrant d'être à table!
A la cantine on se bagarre avec la confiture
On s'en met plein les mains, plein les habits, plein la figure
Et quand y'en a un qui rouspète, on lui fait manger son assiette

REFRAIN

A la maison quand y'a pleins d'invités à déjeuner
Il est toujours défendu de leur faire des croche-pieds
Et de les envoyer sous la table!
A la cantine on est chez nous, c'est notre République
On pousse les tables dans un coin pour faire de la musique
Voulez-vous danser Mademoiselle, tout en finissant vos gamelles.

REFRAIN

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.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. 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.
