Si tu ne pleures pas devant les femmes
Qu'on opprime et qu'on affame
Si tu n'éprouve pas de douleur
Devant cette peine qui est la leur
Si tu ne verse aucune larmes
Si tu n'es pas envahi de chaleur
Alors, fait-toi greffer une âme
Alors, fais toi greffer un cœur

Quand on n'a plus d'honneur
Il reste quand même un espoir
Il y a peut-être un donneur
Quelque part
Quand on a plus d'honneur
Il reste quand-même a savoir
Si pour de vrai tu n'as pas peur
Si au moins tu sais recevoir

Voila pour toi une autre main
Pour signer la paix pour demain
Voila ce tout nouveau visage
Pour parler un peu de partage
Si tu perçois enfin la lueur
Si tu ne reprends pas les larmes
Tu pourras déposer ton cœur
Tu pourras déposer ton âme

Quand on n'a plus d'honneur
Il reste quand même un espoir
Il y a peut-être un donneur quelque part
Quand on a plus d'honneur
Il reste quand-même a savoir
Si pour de vrai tu n'as pas peur
Si au moins tu sais recevoir

    I love this song but I never really paid attention to the lyrics and I am not sure about them, they sound to me a bit harsh. It is an unusual way of writing in French. Only Lemarchal can get away with it, as his voice gives it a soft tone.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
