I think this song talks about God / Jesus / Religious People. It's talking about someone who controls his life and tells him what to do, for example =
*** no more skylarking, around my head
your information
but there's no hiding, behind moulting feathers
We're always told by religion and stuff that skylarking and partying around is not good.
*** you live a shitty life, we live a bon, bon vie
hotter than the book, while we watch the tv
Hotter than the book, in my opinion is talking about the Bible in this case
*** bang your dead, alouette, here's your silhouette
je te plumerai la, tête
je te plumerai la, tête
No way, no, (the clock) it's ticking forward
no way, it's just a cruel, cruel world
Talking about how Jesus is long ago gone and we should continue our lives
*** we're never gonna, believe in, the stories, that you're weavin'
we're believin' in the proof, we're believin' in the truth
we're believin' in each other, not you, you, you
He's saying that he believes in things which have proof and not in some old stories
*** Stories (you with the tall tales), how many stories (so many tall tales)
we climb the structure (you scale the ladder)
you build it higher (you make us madder)
we take our aim (so now we're bearin' off)
you perch above your nest ( _ in your charms)
the stories in your head (it's a crazy bald head)
that's what got you dead
How we have a complicated life with obstacles and bad stuff happening and that just makes people and society crazier and madder.
Well that's what I understand when I listen to this song, I believe in God and Jesus so don't take it personally if you believe too. It's just how I interprete this song.
i think this is a perfect example of the limited imagination that comes from following a religion I'm afraid. All of the links you have made (apart from possibly the part about "hotter than the book" which is a possibility I suppose) are tenuous, forced and bizarrely illogical. Hang out with some people from other cultures and, if you can, try and develop your own way of interpreting life which is not based on someone else's carefully crafted doctrine.
