Chats-Garoux / Urgals

Un vieux cheval sur le retour
Qui avait blanchi sous le harnais
M'a dit : " Petit, que de beaux jours
Tu traverseras dans la vie
Si tu as un véritable ami.
Vois-tu, j'ai eu de vrais amis,
Un' femme et des enfants chéris
Mais aujourd'hui, ils sont partis.
Ainsi en a voulu le sort
Et ma vieillesse vient d'éclor'.

Mon amie, c'est la solitude.
Avec elle, je me sens moins seul.
Au grand jamais on ne s'engueul'.
C'est le silence et c'est lui seul
Qui est notre divine habitude.

Il faut laisser danser le vent
Entre toi et l'ami fidèle.
Si tu veux le garder longtemps,
Sache taire ton mal aux dents.
Ne t'appuie pas trop sur son aile
Et s'il s'attache comme lierre,
N'offense pas l'ami sincère
Qui t'as rendu le cœur content.
A le trouver on met dix ans
Et quelques secondes à le perdre.

Et tu dois trouver le plus beau,
Le regard de l'ami qui louche,
Le gentil crapaud effarouche
Et vouloir ami sans défaut,
C'est vouloir prune, sans noyaux.
Les tonneaux vides et les gens sots
Sont ceux qui font le plus de bruit.
Celui qui ne les a pas fui
Au bénéfice d'un ami
A jeté sa vie aux pourceaux.

C'est aujourd'hui ma solitude
Que je vais flanquer aux orties
Car, toi qui m'écoutes, petit,
Et qui est devenu mon ami,
Tu en as toute ma gratitude.
Lorsqu'apparaît le cheveu gris,
L'espoir s'envole à tire d'aile.
J'attendais plus cette étincelle
Au crépuscule de ma vie
Qui porte le doux nom d'ami.

Les jolies colonies de vacances
Merci maman, merci papa
Tous les ans, je voudrais que ça r'commence
Youkaïdi aïdi aïda.

J'vous écris une petite bafouille
Pour pas qu'vous fassiez d'mouron
Ici on est aux p'tits oignons
J'ai que huit ans mais je m'débrouille
J'tousse un peu à cause qu'on avale
La fumée d'l'usine d'à côté
Mais c'est en face qu'on va jouer
Dans la décharge municipale.

Pour becqu'ter on nous met à l'aise
C'est vraiment comme à la maison
Les fayots c'est du vrai béton
J'ai l'estomac comme une falaise
L'matin on va faire les poubelles
Les surveillants sont pas méchants
Ils ronflent les 3/4 du temps
Vu qui sont ronds comme des queues d'pelles.

Hier, j'ai glissé de sur une chaise
En f'sant pipi dans le lavabo
J'ai le menton en guidon d'vélo
Et trois canines au Père Lachaise
Les punitions sont plutôt dures
Le pion il a pas son pareil
Y nous attache en plein soleil
Tout nus barbouillés d'confiture.

Pour se baigner c'est l'coin tranquille
On est le seuls personne y va
On va s'tremper dans un p'tit bras
Où sortent les égouts d'la ville
Paraît qu'on a tous le typhus
On a l'pétrus tout boutonneux
Et l'soir avant s'se mettre au pieu
On compte à qui qu'en aura l'plus.

J'vous envoie mes chers père et mère
Mes baisers les plus distingués
J'vous quitte là j'vais voir ma fiancée
Une vieille qu'a au moins ses dix berges
Les p'tits on a vraiment pas d'chance
On nous fait jamais voyager
Mais les grandes filles vont à Tanger
Dans d'autres colonies d'vacances.

Unos dos tres catorce!

Lights go down, it’s dark
The jungle is your head
Can’t rule your heart
A feeling is so much stronger than
A thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
It can’t be bought
Your mind can wander

Hello hello
I’m at a place called Vertigo
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
Except you give me something I can feel, feel

The night is full of holes
As bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold
They twinkle as the
Boys play rock and roll
They know they can’t dance
At least they know….

I can’t stand the beats
I’m asking for the cheque
The girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus round her neck
Swinging to the music
Swinging to the music
Oh oh oh oh

Hello hello
I’m at a place called Vertigo
It’s everything I wish I didn’t know
But you give me something I can feel, feel

Check mated
Oh yeah
Hours of fun…

All of this, all of this can be yours
All of this, all of this can be yours

All of this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want and no-one gets hurt….

Hello hello
We’re at a place called Vertigo
Lights go down and all I know
Is that you give me something

I can feel your love teaching me how
Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel…

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

They’re gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you,son
So they can watch all the things you do

Because the drugs never work
They’re gonna give you a smirk
‘Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They’re gonna rip off your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine

They said all teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They coul care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in a clique
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you’re troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

They said all teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Oh yeah

They said all teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

All together now

Teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone’ll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me

Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep when our beds are burning

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From kintore east to yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

(live - on scream in blue
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to us all
Let's give it back)

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and chicks for free
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchens deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's

I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Man we could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free

We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour TV's, Lord

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Money for nothin' and chicks for free
