Quotidiennement,
Il s'administre le poison.
Quinze, vingt fois, ça dépend
De son humeur, c'est selon.

"Boit-sans-soif, pauvre saoulot,
Bon à rien, suce-goulot"
Disent les mauvaises langues "bientôt
Les croque-morts enduiront ton corps de chaux"
Il traîne de débit en débit,
Dans l'espoir d'y trouver quelque répit.
Cet homme que personne n'aime ni ne nomme,
Cet homme que personne n'hèle ni ne sonne.

Il connaît tous les lieux,
Il y a ceux où il va faute de mieux.
Ceux qui servent passé minuit,
Les deux ou trois qui font crédit.

"Il gît à même le canniveau
A la manière des animaux !"
Disent les mauvaises langues, "ce lot
Il ne le goute que trop!"
Il traîne de débit en débit,
Dans l'espoir d'y trouver quelque répit.
Cet homme que personne n'aime ni ne nomme,
Cet homme que personne n'hèle ni ne sonne.
Il traîne de débit en débit,
S'en va s'aviner
Parce que sa vie ne
Lui inspire plus que du mépris,
Ne lui inspire plus que du mépris.

Dans un café Passage Brady,
Une femme égrène des notes sur une six cordes.
Elle psalmodie son psaume favori,
Où il est beaucoup question de discorde,
D'amour de haine et de miséricorde.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
