Gitan
Je rêvais enfant
De vivre libre comme un gitan

Je voyais des plages
De sable noir
Où couraient des chevaux sauvages

Et je dessinais dans mes cahiers
Les sentiers secrets
Des montagnes d'Espagne

Gitan
Quand plus tard
J'apprenais mes premiers accords de guitare

Sur la route je partais sans bagages
En rêvant
D'autres paysages

Où je suivais les gens du voyage
Dans leurs caravanes
Au son des violons tziganes

Vivre ma vie comme un gitan
Avoir la musique dans le sang
Et pour l'amour n'avoir dans la peau
Qu'une seule femme à la fois

Vivre ma vie comme un gitan
Vivre ma vie comme je l'entends
Avoir la liberté pour drapeau
Sans foi ni loi pour credo

Gitan
Je le suis et le resterai
Le temps de mon vivant

Mes guitares sont d'Amérique
Et mes paysages
De grands espaces blancs

Où je roule seul dans ma caravane
En éternel exil
Dans la jungle des villes

Oh vivre ma vie comme un gitan
Avoir la musique dans le sang
Et pour l'amour n'avoir dans la peau
Qu'une seule femme à la fois

Vivre ma vie comme un gitan
Vivre ma vie comme je l'entends
Avoir la liberté pour drapeau
Sans foi ni loi pour credo

Laï laï laï laï laï laï laï laï
Laï laï laï laï laï laï laï laï laï
Laï laï laï laï laï laï

Oh vivre ma vie comme un gitan
Avoir la musique dans le sang
Et pour l'amour n'avoir dans la peau
Qu'une seule femme à la fois

Laï laï laï laï laï
Laï laï laï laï laï laï laï laï laï
Laï laï laï laï laï laï

Vivre ma vie comme un gitan
Gagner ma vie de l'air du temps
Avoir la liberté pour drapeau
Sans foi ni loi pour credo

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.

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."
