Traîner son blues sur le boulevard
Dans des cafés, néons blafards
Et voir sa gueule dans une boule de flipper
Qui dit, qui rit, pis qui pleure
Fumer ses nuits en lunettes noires près d'un juke-box de hasard
Et voir sa vie dans un rétroviseur
Qui dit, qui rit, pis qui pleure

Mettons que moi, cette vie-là, ces trucs-là
Ça n'serait pas tellement mon style
Mettons que moi, cette vie-là, ces trucs-là
Ça me donne envie de quitter la ville

Ou alors, faudrait que le bord de la mer
Vienne chez nous passer l'hiver
Avec ses plages et ses îles
L'Estérel à domicile
Parasols, sur mon amour café crème
Je mets des algues et du sel
Je couvre de sable fin
Le sale métro du matin

L'amour casqué, cent quatre-vingts sur le pavé du p'tit matin
Il y a des sanglots dans le carburateur
Qui dit, qui rit, pis qui pleure
Chercher l'amour dans des cinés, dans des rues de banlieues paumées
Et voir cette fille sur un écran couleur
Qui dit, qui rit, pis qui pleure

Mettons que moi, cette vie-là, ces trucs-là
Ça n'serait pas tellement mon style
Mettons que moi, cette vie-là, ces trucs-là
Ça me donne envie de quitter la ville

Ou alors, faudrait que le bord de la mer
Vienne chez nous passer l'hiver
Avec ses plages et ses îles
L'Estérel à domicile
Parasols, sur mon amour café crème
Je mets des algues et du sel
Je couvre de sable fin
Le sale métro du matin

Ou alors, faudrait que le bord de la mer
Vienne chez nous passer l'hiver
Avec ses plages et ses îles
L'Estérel à domicile
Parasols, sur mon amour café crème
Je mets des algues et du sel
Je couvre de sable fin
Le sale métro du matin

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
