Tous les cœurs se rallient à sa blanche cornette
Si le chrétien succombe à son charme insidieux
Le païen le plus sûr, l'athée le plus honnête
Se laisseraient aller parfois à croire en Dieu
Et les enfants de chœur font tinter leur sonnette

Il paraît que, dessous sa cornette fatale
Qu'elle arbore à la messe avec tant de rigueur
Cette petite sœur cache, c'est un scandale
Une queu' de cheval et des accroche-cœurs
Et les enfants de chœur s'agitent dans les stalles

Il paraît que, dessous son gros habit de bure
Elle porte coquettement des bas de soie
Festons, frivolités, fanfreluches, guipures
Enfin tout ce qu'il faut pour que le diable y soit
Et les enfants de chœur ont des pensées impures

Il paraît que le soir, en voici bien d'une autre!
A l'heure où ses consœurs sont sagement couchées
Ou débitent pieusement des patenôtres
Elle se déshabille devant sa psyché
Et les enfants de chœur ont la fièvre, les pauvres

Il paraît qu'à loisir elle se mire nue
De face, de profil, et même, hélas! de dos
Après avoir, sans gêne, accroché sa tenue
Aux branches de la croix comme au portemanteau
Chez les enfants de chœur le malin s'insinue

Il paraît que, levant au ciel un œil complice
Elle dit: "Bravo, Seigneur, c'est du joli travail!"
Puis qu'elle ajoute avec encor plus de malice
"La cambrure des reins, ça, c'est une trouvaille!"
Et les enfants de chœur souffrent un vrai supplice

Il paraît qu'à minuit, bonne mère, c'est pire
On entend se mêler, dans d'étranges accords
La voix énamourée des anges qui soupirent
Et celle de la sœur criant "Encor! Encor!"
Et les enfants de chœur, les malheureux, transpirent

Et monsieur le curé, que ces bruits turlupinent
Se dit avec raison que le brave Jésus
Avec sa tête, hélas! déjà chargée d'épines
N'a certes pas besoin d'autre chose dessus
Et les enfants de chœur, branlant du chef, opinent

Tout ça, c'est des faux bruits, des ragots, des sornettes
De basses calomnies par Satan répandues
Pas plus d'accroche-cœurs sous la blanche cornette
Que de queue de cheval, mais un crâne tondu
Et les enfants de chœur en font, une binette

Pas de troubles penchants dans ce cœur rigoriste
Sous cet austère habit pas de rubans suspects
On ne verra jamais la corne au front du Christ
Le veinard sur sa croix peut s'endormir en paix
Et les enfants de chœur se masturber, tout tristes

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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."
