Passage des Marais (Paris 10e)


 

Les Rolling Bidochons - Des Sous Pour Habiter St-Cloud

 
J'habite un appart dans une grande tour de cité, le 5ème bloc
L'ascenseur plein de croix gammées graffitées fait de l'auto-stop
Dans la cage d'escalier ça pisse en rangs serrés gaffe à la flaque
De la cave au grenier les jeunes paumés se remplissent le pif de crack

Assez de sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Bondy, Clamart, ah quel cauchemar

Le vieil interphone éventré sert de perchoir aux pigeons du coin
Mon inconnu d'voisin d'palier descend encore pour faire pisser l'chien
L'hystérique du troisième gueule car la musique l'a réveillé
Mon père vient de rentrer, tiens ce soir il n'a pas l'air bourré

Assez de sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Bondy, Clamart, ah quel cauchemar

Des sous pour être bien sapé, bien bronzé, bien peigné, bien chic
Des sous pour acheter chaque matin une nouvelle Rolls automatique
Des sous pour mettre du caviar Petrossian dans la pâtée pour chien
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud, des sous pour vivre comme un rupin

Assez de sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Banlieue dortoir, ah quel cauchemar

Assez de sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Banlieue dortoir, ah quel cauchemar

Assez de sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Des sous pour habiter St-Cloud
Banlieue dortoir, ah quel cauchemar

 

Saxon - Strong Arm Of The Law

 
I was listening to the music on the radio
I had a feeling that something's not right
The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd
From the gig that we played that night

We pulled into a motorway restaurant
Stopped awhile, fooled around
But I still had a feeling that something's not right
'Cause we're standing in a whole in the ground

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law
Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

Into the night came a blue flashing light
A blast from the siren to make sure
But it came to a stop behind the motorway cop
Who'd been tailing us for more than an hour

He pulled us out of the car on the side of the road
He questioned us one at a time
Where is the gear that we know that you use
We said the only speed we use is on cars

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law
Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law

You should've seen the stupid smirk drop from his face
It was a negative exercise
The way that we dress and the things that we do
They thought it was an easy bust

I was listening to the music on the radio
I had a feeling that something's not right
The music was loud, we could still hear the crowd
From the gig that we played that night

Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law
Stop, get out
We are the strong arm of the law 

 

Was (Not Was) - Tell Me That I'm Dreaming

 
Members of the Congress, I have the high privilege and the distinct honor of presenting to you, the President of the United States. 
Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. 

I pulled into your town
Saw two signs
Said "West and West"
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Turned down a no-way street
Saw another sign
"Drive in reverse"
Or something like it
We talked like men
And ate fish at the end of the pier

I tried to walk, but how?
The rest of you were dancing
With pointy shoes on
Somebody pinch me
Am I?
Na na na na na
Was I?
Did I—away the night?

New shoes, laser breakfast
Fast target vehicles
Leather house
Dreaming, somebody pinch me! (Ouch!)
Can we who man the ship of state deny
It is somewhat out of control?
Can we who man the ship of state deny
It is somewhat out of control?
Can we who man the s–
Can we who man the s–
Can we deny control?
Thank you very much. Thank you. 

Night watchman at a bank
Made some pirates walk the plank
Oh, I must be dreaming
Tell me that I'm dreaming
One man likes milk
Now he owns a million cows
Can you imagine all that milk?
Tell me that I'm dreaming

Tag! You're it!
No! It's not funny!
It's not funny!
Aaaagghh!
Not!
One man likes milk
Now he owns a million cows
One man likes milk
Now he owns a million cows
One man likes milk
Now he owns a million cows
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Out of control
One man likes milk
Out of control
Now he owns a million cows
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Out of control
Out of control
One man likes milk
Now he owns a million cows
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Out of control
One man likes milk
Out of control
Now he owns a million cows
Tell me that I'm dreaming
Out of control
Out of control
One man likes milk
Out of control
Now he owns a million cows
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control

 

Bob Seger - Turn The Page

 
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one-note song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing there to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through

Here I am, on a road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page

Well, you walk into a restaurant all strung-out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, is it woman, is it man?
And you always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand

Here I am, on a road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page

Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play

Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said

Here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page

Here I am, on a road again
There I am, on the stage, yeah
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, there I go 

 

Chris Stapleton - Cold

 
Girl, the way you broke my heart
It shattered like a rock through a window
I thought we had it so good
Never really saw this comin'

Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right here in the middle of my soul
Oh, why you got to be so cold?

What am I supposed to say
If anybody asks me about you?
I guess I'll tell 'em I'm without you
How am I supposed to live
When I built my life around you?
Try to put yourself in my shoes

Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right here in the middle of my soul
Oh, why you got to be so cold?

I can only feel my love hangin' on
I don't feel like it's over
I'm still on fire
Why you gotta be so?

Oh, why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to go and cut me like a knife
And put our love on ice?
Oh, girl, you know you left this hole
Right here in the middle of my soul
Oh, why you got to be so cold?

Why you got to be so cold?
Why you got to be so cold?
Got to be so cold 


 

Alle Farben ft. Sofiloud - Call My Name

 
When you call my name, got the devil's touch
Know I can't escape, feels so dangerous
If I go insane, it was all for love, love

Been runnin' in the dark, got demons in my heart
Oh, I'm so sick and tired of all the ache
I make the same mistakes, but it's all worth the wait
Yeah, you, you got me down, down, down

When you call my name, got the devil's touch
Know I can't escape, feels so dangerous
If I go insane, it was all for love, love
When you call my name, got the devil's touch
Know I can't escape, feels so dangerous
If I go insane, it was all for love, love

Your whisper in the night feels like eternal life
No, you can't help, it's just the way you are
It's written in the stars, I know you'll leave a scar
Yeah, you, you got me down, down, down

When you call my name, got the devil's touch
Know I can't escape, feels so dangerous
If I go insane, it was all for love, love

The Broken View - Breaking The Habit (Linkin Park cover)

 
Memories consume like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize that I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more than anytime before
I had no options left again

I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize that I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight 

 

LOUNA - Сигнал В Пустоте (Вверх!)

 
Ты вновь далеко где-то там, а я где-то тут
По-прежнему, шлю свой сигнал прямо в пустоту
Знаю, что ждать бесполезно, я гляжу в эту черную бездну
Но все так же она молча смотрит в меня
Закат гонит ночь, а потом гонит ночь рассвет
Все мы не одиноки в своем одиночестве
Замки и границы закрыты, мы планеты на разных орбитах
Что не пересекутся, увы, никогда
Что не пересекутся уже никогда

Пусть, вокруг пустота
И я здесь, а ты — там
Я отправлю лететь
Свой сигнал в пустоте
Пусть, нас космос унес
На орбиты разных звезд
Я отправлю тебе
Свой сигнал в пустоте

Я знаю, тебе одиноко там, как и мне
И каждый закрыт в своем собственном коконе
Только верю, что чудо случится, несмотря на замки и границы
Я, однажды, услышу сигнал в тишине
Я услышу в ответ твой сигнал в тишине

Bruce Springsteen - Downbound Train

 
I had a job, I had a girl
I had something going, mister, in this world
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
Our love went bad. Times got hard
Now I work down at the carwash
Where all it ever does is rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train?

She just said "Joe, I gotta go. We had it once. We ain't got it any more."
She packed her bags left me behind
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying. You were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran 'till I thought my chest would explode
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard. I burst through the front door
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
The room was dark. Our bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head, and cried
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train? 

 

Bon Jovi - She Don't Know Me

 
What more can I do?
There's nothing that I haven't tried
Still, it's so hard for her to notice
That I've tried hard to be straight
There's nothing left I can say
If only she would look my way
Hey-hey, but

(She don't know me) She don't know
(She don't see me) She don't care
(She can't hear me) She can't hear
(Can not help me) She don't want
(She don't want me) Like I want her
(Like I want her) I've gotta tell her
(Got to tell her) That I love her
(That I love her)
She doesn't even know my name

I dream of when she'll be mine
I dream of crossing that line
And holding her so tender
Dreaming it could come true
So many things I would do
If only you'd give me a chance, oh

(She don't know me) She don't know
(She don't see me) She don't care
(She can't hear me) She can't hear
(Can not help me) She don't want
(She don't want me) Like I want her
(Like I want her) I've gotta tell her
(Got to tell her) That I love her
(That I love her)
She doesn't even know my name, yeah

(She don't know me) She don't know
(She don't see me) She don't care
(She can't hear me) She can't hear
(Can not help me) She don't want
(She don't want me) Like I want her
(Like I want her) I've gotta tell her
(Got to tell her) That I love her
(That I love her)
Oh

(She don't know me) She don't know
(She don't see me) She don't care
(She can't hear me) No, she can't hear
(Can not help me) And no, she don't want
(She don't want me) Like I want her
(Like I want her)

Romeo Santos - Propuesta Indecente (Up!)

 
Hola
Me llaman Romeo
Es un placer conocerla

Qué bien te ves
Te adelanto, no me importa quién sea él
Dígame usted
Si ha hecho algo travieso alguna vez

Una aventura es más divertida si huele a peligro

Y si te invito a una copa y me acerco a tu boca
Si te robo un besito, a ver, te enojas conmigo
¿Qué dirías si esta noche te seduzco en mi coche?
Que se empañen los vidrios y la regla es que goces

Si te falto el respeto y luego culpo al alcohol
Si levanto tu falda, ¿me darías el derecho
A medir tu sensatez, poner en juego tu cuerpo?
Si te parece prudente esta propuesta indecente

A ver, a ver
Permíteme apreciar tu desnudez (take it off)
Relájate
Que este martini calmará tu timidez (don't be shy)

Una aventura es más divertida si huele a peligro

Y si te invito a una copa y me acerco a tu boca
Si te robo un besito, a ver, te enojas conmigo
¿Qué dirías si esta noche te seduzco en mi coche?
Que se empañen los vidrios y la regla es que goces

Si te falto el respeto y luego culpo al alcohol
Si levanto tu falda, ¿me darías el derecho
A medir tu sensatez, poner en juego tu cuerpo?
Si te parece prudente esta propuesta indecente

I'm back
It feels good to be king
Gostoso

Hey
Listen
I know what you like

How about if you and I, me and you
Bailamos bachata
Y luego you and I, me and you
Terminamo' en la cama (qué rico)

How about if you and I, me and you
Bailamos bachata (ay, bailamos bachata)
Y luego you and I, me and you
Terminamo' en la cama (terminamos en la cama)

How about it you and I (you and I)
Me and you (me and you)
You and I (you and I)
Me and you (you)

You and I (you and I)
Me and you
(I'm a bad boy)
Me and you (you)

Ay, chichi
Llora, guitarra

Bryan Adams - Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?

 
To really love a woman
To understand her
You gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought
See every dream
And give her wings when she wants to fly

Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
'Cause she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really—really-really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you
'Til you know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her
Really taste her
'Til you can feel her in your blood

And when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
'Cause she needs somebody to tell her that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really—really-really ever loved a woman?

You've got to give her some faith
Hold her tight
A little tenderness
You gotta treat her right
She will be there for you takin' good care of you
You really gotta love your woman

And when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
'Cause she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really—really-really ever loved a woman?

Just tell me have you ever really—really-really ever loved a woman?
Just tell me have you ever really—really-really ever loved a woman? 

 

Killing Joke - Darkness Before Dawn

 
The lore of elders passes judgement on this waste
And finding me or them does lack accepting fate
And as the moments pass another face arrives
We watch them come and go with speed of passing clouds

Forbidden fruits of dreams that rule our thoughts my love
Of lands untouched and ways to come always maybe
But choking on promises meant for the deal
Thinking again the darkest hour before the dawn

Confirming fears that from the dawn of time have been
Retracing footsteps in dark chambers of grey lands
And through the madness through the terror we must pass
As if awaiting sunlight that may never come

In time we face ourselves with all our faults and fears
Now that i know the final conflict is within
I recognize the faces of my friends and hear the call
"Come journey, journey with me through the darkest hour"

Adele - Lovesong (The Cure cover)

 
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you

However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you

I'll always love you
I'll always love you
'Cause I love you
Love, love, love... 

 

Foreigner - Girl On The Moon

 
It's night, again
Time for my mind to go wandering
Off on a journey, through space and time
In search of a face I can never find
So I close my eyes and look inside

I can't forget
The night that I saw her we never met
She felt so close to me as I reached for her hand
She drifted away like the desert sand
It was her and she was gone

I wish she'd come back tonight
Like a star shining bright
I don't know where she's from

She's like a girl on the moon
A girl on the moon
She's like a girl on the moon
A girl on the moon

Yeah it's night, once again
And that same old feeling is setting in
It all seems so familiar but I hope this time
That the girl on the moon will soon be mine
All mine, tonight

Am I asking too much
Should I leave my dream untouched
Should I even know where she's from

My, girl on the moon
She's my girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
My girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
My girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
Girl on the moon
Fille sur la lune
Girl on the moon
Fille sur la lune

Yves Simon - Nostalgie énigmatique

 

… et je sais alors que personne ne viendra résoudre cette énigme : éprouver de la nostalgie pour quelqu'un qui n'a jamais existé. 

 Yves Simon, La dérive des sentiments

The Heavy Horses - In Darkness He Came

 

Out in a Mexican town
Is where I found Jesus
Out of the Mexican night
In darkness He came

When the hammer clicked
I heard angels
Coming to take me to my grave

Woah Lord
I've been a terrible man
And there ain't much left of my soul
But, dying in an ambush
In the Mexican night
That ain't no way for a legend to go


 

The Steel Woods - The Well

 
Please let me drink a sip from the well of your life
Friend, mine is all but fools
I've seen the world, yeah but I've seen the ending too
And it don't quench my thirst like it does for you

I looked at my life like there was a mountain to climb
And you lived yours like all honest men do
Well I took off to find myself
I got lost and it sure feels swell
To call this place home again, not like it does for you

And I know
The side of the fence that you've only dreamed of
And you know
That you've got me beat with a family that needs you
Well, pull up a seat
If you've got the time
Listen to me think
I bet we'll find
A piece of common ground that we both can stand on

They say there's two fires, two sides to every man's soul
And who knows how we choose?
But we do and we burn. Some wild, and some tame
I've learned the purpose of the flame, well, it's up to you

And I know
The side of the fence that you've only dreamed of
And you know
That you've got me beat with a family that needs you
Well, pull up a seat
If you've got the time
Listen to me think
I bet we'll find
A piece of common ground that we both can stand on

And I know
The side of the fence that you've only dreamed of
But you know
That you've got me beat with a family that needs you
Well, pull up a seat
If you've got the time
Listen to me think
I bet we'll find
A piece of common ground that we both can stand on

Please let me drink a sip from the well of your life
Tell me all about it, man, until I am full 

 

Wintersun - Time (Up!)

 
Darkness and frost are starting to reach
The heart of this land with a cold disease
Sleep now for a while before the storm awakes
And one day it will reward you for the burden of wait
The roots go deep into the frozen dead ground
Listen to the land of snow, it makes no sound
For ages searching the warmth of the sun
If it never finds me, I can die as one

Time will go on and we are drifting away in the night
I've been searching so long, but I will find you even if it takes my whole life
But tonight I feel so alone and I know that you are forever gone
Oh time, don't fade away when I need you here, oh please don't leave me now

Time
Time fades away (fades away)
When time fades away
And I'll never be the same

Time! Time! Time! Time!

You want so much from me - I feel nothing but grief and despair
How can I make you feel again - All my dreams are just visions I can't bear
You want something that I can't give - I cannot keep living in this bitter dream
And I don't care anymore
It feels like my life is ending
Oh, another year gone by
But nothing has changed in my life
And time goes on forever and ever
And it waits for no one

Time will go on, and we are drifting away in the night
I've been searching so long, but I will find you even if it takes my whole life
But tonight I feel so alone and I know that you are forever gone
Oh time, don't fade away when I need you here, oh please don't leave me now
(Oh please don't leave me now!)

Time fades away
And I fade away
And I'll never be the same
Time fades away (fades away)
When time fades away
And I'll never feel the same
And I fade away
When time fades away
And I'll never feel the same
