Le vent souffle en Arizona
Un État d'Amérique dans lequel Harry zona
Cowboy dingue du bang bang du flingue
De l'arme, du cheval et de quoi faire la bringue
Poursuivi par Smith & Wesson
Colt, Derringer, Winchester & Remington
Il erre dans les plaines, fier, solitaire
Son cheval est son partenaire
Parfois, il rencontre des indiens
Mais la ruée vers l'or est son seul dessein
Sa vie suit un cours que l'on connaît par cœur
La rivière sans retour d'Otto Preminger
Tandis que John Wayne est looké à la Lucky Luke
Propre comme un archiduc, Oncle Sam me dupe
Hollywood nous burn (Hollywood burn)
Dans la vie de tous les jours comme dans les nouveaux westerns

On dit gare au gorille, mais gare à Gary Cooper
Le western moderne est installé dans le secteur
Quand la ville dort, les trains ne sifflent pas
Les Sept Mercenaires n'ont pas l'once d'un combat
Harry désormais est proche de gare de l'Est
Il saute les époques et les lieux pour un nouveau far-west
Les saloons sont des bistrots, on y vend des clopes
Pas de la chique, du top, du CinémaScope
Il entre dans le bar, commande un indien
Scalpe la mousse, boit, repose le verre sur le zinc
Une 2 CV se parque, saouls, des types se beignent
Pour des motifs futiles comme dans les nouveaux westerns

Les States sont une sorte de multinationale
Elle exporte le western et son modèle féodal
Dicte le bien, le mal, Lucky Luke et les Dalton
Sont camouflés en Paul Smith et Weston
On dit que ce qui compte c'est le décor
L'habit ne fait pas l'moine dans la ruée vers l'or
Dès lors, les techniques se perfectionnent
La carte à puce remplace le Remington
Mais Harry à Paris n'a pas eu de chance
On le stop sur le périph' avec sa diligence
Puis on le place à Fresnes pour que Fresnes le freine
Victime des directives de ce que l'on appelle le nouveau western
Le nouveau western

Parfois la vie ressemble à une balle perdue
Dans le système moderne se noie l'individu
Pour rester lucide il s'abreuvait de Brandy
Désormais on brandit télé, shit et baby
Ou blanche est la Chevauchée fantastique
Toujours à contre-jour, c'est bien moins héroïque
Dans le monde du rêve on termine par un happy end
Est-ce aussi le cas dans ce que l'on nomme
Le nouveau western?
Le nouveau western
Le nouveau western
Le nouveau western
Le nouveau western

Moderne, le nouveau western
Moderne, le nouveau western
Sitting Bull, Cochise, Calamity Jane, James West
Les Squaws, les Scalps, Tomahawk
Le nouveau western
Le nouveau western, moderne
Lucky Luke
Miguelito Loveless

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
