Je devrais être heureux comme un pape.
J'ai un nœud pap, je suis invité
Moi qui aime traîner la savate
Les belles cravates et l'oisiveté
Et discuter du grand amour
Cravate de velours pour toute la vie
Même si la vie, ça fait beaucoup
Cravate au cou, à mon avis.
Je suis sapé comme un notaire
Cravate, blazer et nous dansons.
Hélas, il commence à m'en cuire
Cravate de cuir et je me morfonds.

Cravate à pois, cravate de soie.
Cravate à pois, cravate de soie.

J'en ai ras-le-bol, à la Coupole
Cravate au col, de boire du thé
Quand je préfère aller jouer
Cravate dénouée, ma chance aux dés.
Le mariage n'est plus à la mode
Cravate en solde, en cette saison
Et jamais je ne moisirai
Cravate à raies, dans une prison.
Alors, au lieu de me morfondre
Cravate de Londres, je file à l'anglaise
Avec ça, j'emporte vos ronds
Cravate marron, pour être à l'aise.

Cravate à pois, cravate de soie.
Cravate à pois, cravate de soie.

D'abord, vous vous laisserez abattre
Cravate verdâtre, vous me regretterez
Et puis vous serez écarlate
Comme ma cravate, quand vous pigerez.
Mais moi, j'aurai pris les devants
Cravate au vent, ainsi que le soin
Dans votre Triumph décapotée
Cravate mouchetée, de changer de coin
Avant que la colère ne darde
Cravate moutarde, son aiguillon
Et que l'on songe à m'arrêter
Me cravater au portillon.

Cravate à pois, cravate de soie.
Cravate à pois, cravate de soie.

Avant que cette histoire se termine
Cravate d'hermine, par un procès
Qu'on me confisque tout, ceinture
Cravate bien sûr, et mes lacets.
Adieu et j'emporte l'argenterie
Cravate rubis et vos bijoux
Pour m'offrir les cravates que j'aime
C'est-à-dire crème, merci mon chou.
Je m'en vais ailleurs me faire pendre
Cravate de chanvre, adieu beauté
Et puis m'en jeter un derrière
La lavallière, à votre santé.

Cravate à pois, cravate de soie.
Cravate à pois, cravate de soie.

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"

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”

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.
