Refrain :
Du rhum, des femm's, et d'la bièr'nom de Dieu
Un accordéon pour valser tant qu'on veut
Du rhum, des femm's, c'est ça qui rend heureux,
Que l'diabl' nous emport', on n'a rien trouvé d'mieux
Oh oh oh oh oh
On n'a rien trouvé d'mieux

Hello cap'tain fais briller tes galons
Et reste bien au chaud
Quand on gêl' sur le pont,
Nous c'est not' pein' qui nous coul' sur le front
Alors tiens bien les rênes
Tu connais la chanson

Ca fait une paye qu'on a pas touché terre
Et même une paye qu'on s'fait
Des gonzesses en poster
Tant pis pour celle qui s'pointera la première
J'lui démonte la pass'relle
La cale, la dunette arrière
(au Refrain)

Tout est gravé quelque part sur ma peau
Tell'ment qu'j'en ai les bras
Comme des romans-phonos
Blessures de guerre, culs d'bouteilles, coups d'couteaux
Tant qu'y'aura des comptoirs
On aura des héros.
(au Refrain)

Trois miles du Cap, c'est les foies, c'est les glandes
Quand t'as l'coeur qui dérape
Et les tripes qui fermentent
J'essaie d'penser au claque aux filles qui s'impatientent
Pas au bateau qui craque
Entre deux déferlantes
(au Refrain) (bis)

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
