Mam'zelle Clio
Mam'zelle Clio
Le premier jour je me rappelle
C'était chez des amis idiots
Mam'zelle Clio
Mam'zelle Clio
Votre maman avait des ailes
Dans une robe de taff'tas
Vous étiez une demoiselle
Et je vous murmurais tout bas

Dormir avec vous dormir une nuit
Faire un rêve à deux quand le ciel est noir au fond de ma chambre
Le sommeil est doux quand tombe la pluie
Quand le vent du nord murmure tout bas
Décembre
Tous les mots d'amour le vent nous les dit
Quand la cloche sonne une heure perdue lointaine…
Oublier la vie oublier nos peines
Dormir une nuit dormir mon amour dormir avec vous

Mam'zelle Clio
Mam'zelle Clio
Vous êtes mariée c'est ridicule
Avec le fils de ces idiots
Mam'zelle Clio
Mam'zelle Clio
Votre mari est somnambule
Il se promène sur les toits
Toute la nuit tandis que moi

Je dors avec vous dans le même lit
Nous rêvons tous deux quand le ciel est gris au fond de la chambre
Votre corps charmant se donne à minuit
Dans un petit hôtel tout près de la rue Delambre
Y a pas d'eau courante et pour faire pipi
C'est au fond de la cour
Mais là-bas y a pas de lumière
Ces petites bêtises me sont familières
Je dors avec vous et pendant le jour
J'attends notre nuit

Mam'zelle Clio
Mam'zelle Clio
Votre mari, votre mari dans une crise
M'a flanqué deux balles dans la peau
Mam'zelle Clio
Mam'zelle Clio
Je suis bien mort quoi qu'on en dise
Oui mais le diable m'a permis
De revenir toutes les nuits

Dormir avec vous sans vous faire peur
Caresser vos cheveux toucher votre cœur vous dire à l'oreille
« Je t'aime chérie je t'aime et j'en meurs »
Et tirer les poils du petit cocu qui veille
La commode qui grince un bruit sur le toit
Le lit qui gémit c'est moi dans le bois ma brune
Je suis courant d'air et rayon de lune
J'ai l'éternité pour chanter tout bas
Je dors avec toi

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,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
