Dans un voyage en absurdie
Que je fais lorsque je m'ennuie
J'ai imaginé, sans complexe
Qu'un matin, je changeais de sexe
Que je vivais l'étrange drame
D'être une femme

Femme des années 80, mais femme jusqu'au bout des seins
Ayant réussi l'amalgame de l'autorité et du charme

Femme des années 80, moins Colombine qu'Arlequin
Sachant pianoter sur la gamme, qui va du grand sourire aux larmes

Être un P.D.g en bas noirs, sexy, comme autrefois, les stars
Être un général d'infanterie, rouler des patins aux conscrits

Enceinte jusqu'au fond des yeux, qu'on a envie d'appeler monsieur
Être un flic ou pompier d'service et donner le sein à mon fils

Être une femme, être une femme

Femme cinéaste, écrivain, à la fois poète et mannequin
Femme panthère sous sa pelisse, et femme banquière planquée en Suisse

Femme dévoreuse de minets, femme directeur de cabinet
À la fois sensuelle et pudique, et femme chirurgien-esthétique (être une femme)

Une maîtresse Messaline et contremaîtresse à l'usine
Faire, le matin, les abattoirs, et dans la soirée, le trottoir (être une femme)

Femme et gardien de la paix, chauffeur de car, agent-secret
Femme général d'aviation, rouler des gamelles aux plantons

Être une femme, être une femme

Être un major de promotion, parler six langues, ceinture marron
Championne du monde des culturistes, aimer Sissi, impératrice

Enceinte jusqu'au fond des yeux, qu'on a envie d'appeler monsieur
En robe du soir, à talons plats qu'on voudrait bien appeler papa

Femme pilote de long-courriers, mais femme à l'atour contrôlé
Galonnée jusqu'au porte-jarretelles, et au steward, rouler des pelles

Maîtriser à fond le système, accéder au pouvoir suprême
S'installer à la Présidence et de là faire bander, la France

Être une femme, être une femme

Femme et gardienne de prison, chanteuse d'orchestre et franc-maçon
Une strip-teaseuse, à temps perdu, emmerdeuse comme on en fait plus

Femme conducteur d'autobus, porte des halles, vendeuse aux puces
Qu'on a envie d'appeler George, mais qu'on aime bien sans soutien-gorge

Être une femme (être une femme) être une femme (être une femme)
Être une femme (être une femme) être une femme (être une femme)

Femme des années 80, mais femme jusqu'au bout des seins
Ayant réussi l'amalgame de l'autorité et du charme

Femme des années 80, moins Colombine qu'Arlequin
Sachant pianoter sur la gamme, qui va du grand sourire aux larmes

Être une femme, être une femme

Être un P.D.g en bas noirs, sexy, comme autrefois, les stars
Être un général d'infanterie, rouler des patins aux conscrits

Femme cinéaste, écrivain, à la fois poète et mannequin
Femme panthère sous sa pelisse, et femme banquière planquée en Suisse

Femme dévoreuse de minets, femme directeur de cabinet
À la fois sensuelle et pudique, et femme chirurgien-esthétique (être une femme)

Être un major de promotion, parler six langues, ceinture marron
Championne du monde des culturistes, aimer Sissi, impératrice

Femme et gardien de la paix, chauffeur de car, agent-secret
Femme général d'aviation, rouler des gamelles aux plantons

Femme pilote de long-courriers, mais femme à l'atour contrôlé
Galonnée jusqu'au porte-jarretelles, et au steward, rouler des pelles

Maîtriser à fond le système, accéder au pouvoir suprême
S'installer à la Présidence et de là faire bander, la France

Femme des années 80, moins Colombine qu'Arlequin
Sachant pianoter sur la gamme, qui va du grand sourire aux larmes

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"

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.

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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
