Bring the Fire (haut de page)

You got no brains
You got no soul
Behind your eyes
There's a big wall

Your mind is cold
Your Heart is bold
Behind your eyes
There's a big wall

Now what am I gonna do?
BRING THE FIRE

& I'm climbing
On the wall
Just to get
In touch
With you

Cause there's nothin'
That I wouldn't do
To get in touch with you

It's been a long long night
Till she stole the light
I got a big desire
I want the world set on fire

Last time I saw the light
Was just a little lovelight shine
& it was burnin' down in your eyes
So unsteady it drives me blind

 

King of Bongo (haut de page)

Moma was queen of the mambo
Popa was king of the Congo
& deap down in the jungle
I started bangin'my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be
in my place instead of me
'cause I'm the king of bongo
The king of bongo bong.

I want to the big town
Where there's a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Lookin' for a bigger crown
So I played my Bongo
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm bangin' my boogie

Cause people like disco
& people like house
That's why they don't applause
When I'm bangin' on my bongo
They say what I'm a clown
Makin' too much dirty sound
They say there is no crown
For little monkey in this town

Nobody like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm bangin' on my boogie
But I don't like no disco
& I don't like the house
'cause I'm born to rock
I'm born to pogo

When I'm bangin' on my bongo
All that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody
In my place instead of me
I'm a king whithout a crown
Hangin' loose in the big town
& I'm born to rock
I'M BORN TO POGO

 

Don't want you no more (haut de page)

Babe I don't want you no more
And I'm sick about all the game
You're playin' behind that door

To much lies
To much guys
Lonely nights
Bleedin' fights
Jealousy stay away from me

Babe, babe!
Get out, get out
Of my life
You're livin', livin'
Out of my heart
I say I
I don't want you no more

There's a man upstairs
There's a man downstairs
There's a man under the bed
& one across the street

All the friends you got
They will give you a home

 

Le Bruit du Frigo (haut de page)

Quand ya plus rien
Qu'elle est partie
Qu'ya plus d'voisins
Qu'ya même plus l'chien
Quand ya plus d'bruits
Pas plus qu'celui
Qui rend marteau
Le bruit du frigo

Et j'prends un verre
Pour l'oublier
Et j'met ma tête
Sous l'oreiller
Pour éviter
D'entendre pleurer
Ce frigidaire

Et puis voilà
Qu'il s'met à
Faire froid
J'renverse ma bière
Sur l'oreiller
Et toi t'es même
Plus là près d'moi
A devenir folle
Et à m'dire que j'pue
L'ALCOOL

J'entends plus rien
Que l'bruit du frigo

Et tout à coup
Persécuté
Par ce bruit sourd
Et envoutant
Je deviens fou, et je me jette
PAR LA FENETRE

QUAND
Quand t'as plus rien
Qu'elle est partie
Y a plus un bruit....
même plus celui
Qui rend mélo....
L'bruit du frigo

 

Letter to the censors (haut de page)

Daddy's a mother fucker
& mummy turns tricks
Your sister is a brother
& your brother's suckin' DICKS

I'm walkin' on the
Railroad tracks

Your sister had the blueballs
Your daddy had the pox
Your mummy had the singles
All around her bloody cock

I'm walking on the
Railroad tracks.
This is a letter
To the censors

Ooh

Wapadoo wapadoo
Wapadoo Hoohoo!
Wapadoo Hoohoo!

Your father is a panzy
Your mother was no cherry
Oh lord how could it be
Such a beautiful baby?

Your daddy's way to the top
Such a pratical cop
Your mummy was a stoolie
One day she'll be shot

You're walkin' on the
RAILROAD TRACKS

I'm walkin' on the
Railroad tracks

 

El Jako (haut de page)

A la cabeza

 

It's my Heart (haut de page)

Be careful; It' my heart
It's not my watch you're holdin'
It' my heart

It's not ice
That you can quickly burn
It's not a "bocadillo"
That you'll never return

Remember; it's my heart
It's up to you to take it
& break it
But just before you start...
Remember it's my heart.

 

Mad Man's Dead (haut de page)

Gotta tell it to you mom
Gotta tell it to you pa
Gotta tell it to the teacher
Gotta tell it to the preacher

DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T
DON'T UPSET ME

Say it to the cops
Say it to the company
Everything is RED
Buzzin in my head

EVERYTHING IS RED
DON'T BOTHER ME

Here comes my 19th
Nervous breakdown
I'm goin' downtown
To the merry go round

I got on a black cat bone
This B.C bone weights 16T
I got on a big black gun
This big black gun
I'm gonna use it son

I'm warnin' all the neighbours
I'm warnin' Mr Landlord
I'm warnin' all you suckers
I'm hangin' loose & I'm Bored

MAD MAN'S DEAD

They said it, on the radio
There've been some kind of rodeo
People get out of under your bed
Don't be afraid:

MAD MAN'S DEAD

 

Out of Time Man (haut de page)

I'm walkin' out for love
I'm walkin' bad really down
Like a cool breeze
I'm gonna be late again
"Driver!" Wait for me please!"
I'm runnin' all in vain
Tryin' to catch
This fuckin' train
"Time don't fool me more"
& I throw my watch to the floor
(It's so lazy)
"Time don't do it again"
Now I'm stressed & strained
With anger & pain
In the subway train
Now it's half past two
Long gone the rendez-vous
Now it's half past three
Time made a fool out of me
Now it's half past four
No use in waiting no more
Baby can't you see
It'a timing tragedy
I think it's nine
When clock says ten
This girl wouldn't wait
For the out of time
OUT OF TIME MAN

 

Madame Oscar (haut de page)

Madame Oscar est en retard
Elle est tombée dans un traquenard
Aujourd'hui c'est la grève des cars
Et ces connards veulent rien savoir

Madame Oscar est en pétard
Il est déjà 7h-l'quart
Trop tard pour son feuillton du soir
Ca la met dans une colère noire

Qui va ram'ner Mme Oscar?
Il est trop tard Mme Oscar!

Alors elle descend jusqu'au bar
Voir si des fois l'père Zanzibar
Peut la ramener dans sa Panhard
Mais Zanzibar est au billard
D'puis c'matin qu'il arrète pas d'boire
Il veut pas croire à ces histoires
De grève des cars
D'feuillton du soir
D'7h-l'quart
& d'colère noire

Mr Canut aurait bien pû
La racompagner jusqu'à Répu
Mais ses lunettes ont disparu
Ses yeux peuvent pas conduire tous nus
Mme Oscar n'a plus d'espoir
& ya personne pour s'émouvoir
Son gros pétard cherche à s'assoire
Il ne trouve plus que le bord du trottoir

V'nant du Boulevard un sale cafard
Viens s'assoire près d'madame Oscar
Soudain il sort son grand couteau
& il lui plante dans le dos
On lira d'main dans les journeaux
Que sur l'boulvard au p'tit matin
Une pauv' vieille est morte de chagrin
& qu'on recherche encore l'assassin
Et alors?
Qui va ram'ner Mme Oscar?
Il est trop tard Mme Oscar!

T'as beau t'appeller Oscar Tramor
Te v'la tout seul comme un rat mort

Paris la Nuit (ronde de nuit) (haut de page)

Au coeur de la ville endormie
Reposent des millions d'gens soumis
Personne d'autre pour hurler la nuit
Que l'vieux clochard sous l'pont Marie
Dans la rue ya plus qu'des matons
Tous les apaches sont en prison
Tout est si calme qu'ca sent l'pourri
PARIS VA CREVER D'ENNUI !!!

Allons enfants de la patrie
Contre nous de la tyrannie
Dont nous abreuvent les bouffons
Du baron qui règnent à la mairie

Paris se meurt aujourd'hui
D'sêtre donnée à un bandit
Un salaud qui lui a pris
Ses nuits blanches
Paris la nuit c'est fini
Paris va crever d'ennui
Paris se meurt rendez lui
Arletty!
