La vie selon Jarvis Cocker

Annotation :

"You'll never live like common people,
You'll never do whatever common people do,
You'll never fail like common people,
You'll never watch your life slide out of view,
And dance and drink and screw,
Because there's nothing else to do."

Annotation :

"I've got your number, taken notes
I know the ways your minds work, I've studied it
And your minds are just the same as mine
Except that you are clever swines
You never let your mask slip
you never admit to it
You're never hurried."

Annotation :

"I only come here cause I know it makes you sad.
I only do it cause I know you know it's bad.
Oh yes I know that it's ugly and it shouldn't be like that.
Oh but it's turning me on. "

Annotation :

"I don't know why you pretend that it causes you pain
when you know very well you're going to do it AGAIN
You're going to do it AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN"

Annotation :

"Hey butcher!
Oh, oh, oh hey butcher!
What's your name?
Oh hey butcher, what's your game?
Oh, you take all their love, and you suck out their eyes,
and then you rip out their hearts, and you eat their insides.
Yeah, then you just walk away, with a smile on your face.
Hey butcher, hey butcher, I've seen your face before !"

Annotation :

Jolie chanson sur le Friendzonage. Mais je ne suis pas sûr que ça marche en tant que déclaration d'amour.

"You are the last drink I never should have drunk.
You are the body hidden in the trunk.
You are the habit I can't seem to kick.
You are my secrets on the front page every week.
You are the car I never should have bought.
You are the train I never should have caught.
You are the cut that makes me hide my face.
You are the party that makes me feel my age."

Annotation :

"And I could be a genius if I just put my mind to it
I could do anything if only I could get round to it.
Oh we were brought up on the Space-Race,
now they expect you to clean toilets.

When you've seen how big the world is,
how can you make do with this?
If you want me I'll be sleeping in -
sleeping in throughout these glory days."

Annotation :

"Yeah, I wish I could be an example.
Wish I could say I stood up for you
and fought for what was right.
But I never did."

Annotation :

"Now every night she plays the sad game
Called pretending nothing's going wrong,
Oh but she knows,
If this show was televised,
No one would watch it"

Annotation :

"And you want to phone your mother and say
"Mother, I can never come home again,
Cos I seem to have left an important part of my brain
Somewhere
Somewhere in a field in Hampshire." "

Annotation :

"The trouble with your brother,
he's always sleeping with your mother.
And I know that your sister missed her time again this month.
Am I talking too fast or are you just playing dumb?
If you want I can write it down."

Annotation :

"And you feel such a fool for laughing at bad jokes
And putting up with all of his friends and kissing in public.
What are they gonna say when they run into you again?
That your stomach looks bigger and your hair is a mess
And your eyes are just holes in your face. "

Annotation :

"if you blur your eyes
you could be anywhere you want yourself to be
Oh yeah, it's bad. I know you want to laugh, so laugh
But sometimes second best is all that you can get"

Annotation :

"Oh I was seventeen,
When I heard the countdown start, it started slowly,
And I thought it was my heart but then I realised,
That this time it was for real there was no place to hide"

Annotation :

"You can dye your hair but it's the one thing you can change.
Can't run away from yourself.

In the meantime we try.
Try to forget that nothing lasts forever. "
