Subtil et versatile le reptile tranquille
Entre dans le rythme comme on entre dans une femme facile
Présent malgré le temps comme l'air du temps de Nina Ricci

Et plus en forme que Victor Pecci
Esprit sain, corps sain up to date
La quête de connaissance et lui forment en fait
Un fait intrinsèque
Tout se passe comme par passe-passe
Pour le philanthrope hip hop
Mais note que sa parlote peut-être une armlock
Est ou Ouest la peste infeste reste les rimes antidote
Qui m'écarte des Stupids on the block
L'aisé les a lésés et laisse dans leur alèse
Et telle la bise ou l'Alizé
Erose leurs thèses niaises et biaisées
Qui les ramènent six-sept ans avant la sixième
Où les gosses apprennent,
À la claire fontaine

À la claire fontaine comme à l'époque
Où le swingeur philosophique têtu était vêtu d'un simple short
Nous faisions des additions sur le tableau noir
De retour au pupitre j'avais le nez posé sur mon buvard
À la récré c'était foot, cache-cache et billes
À la sortie des miniruffs taxait les glaces à la vanille
Désormais c'est la crise, dans la rue des gens gisent
On piste les traces du Christ quand le matérialisme se matérialise
Et de la lutte des glaces on passe à celle des classes
Ceux qui taxaient les cônes sont maintenant ceux qui vont faire les casses
Le hic est que les addictes à l'ASSEDIC abdiquent

La crise est aussi triste que l'outrage à la rue Copernic
La haine ne paie pas, c'est l'ANPE qui paie
Ceux qui regrettent l'école, les colles, les pions et veulent du cash money
L'époque où la maîtresse leur apprenait sans peine
Et sans haine malsaine
À la claire fontaine

Changement de style, changement de thème
Changement de rimes calme saine et sereine
Ainsi le rythme imite les rites du septième ciel
Comme dans un film de Marc Dorcel
Je fais de la musique voilà pourquoi j'ai plein de collègues
J'hérite de leurs legs et dynamite Charly Oleg
La dubitative plume du poète du bitume

Fait ratatata sur les tartes aux tunes
Telle la madone de la mélodie minable Madona
Je lui préfère Tabatha qui ne cache pas et ne chante pas
Constate que l'on vend des disques
Avec une culotte et une jupe
Oulahup barbatruc, et l'on vend au sextuple
Clinancourt humaine elle se brocante elle-même
Je ne juge pas, moi j'aime

À la claire fontaine

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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."
