Superbe écriture bien interprétée posée sur un arrangement musical à la hauteur. Excellent. Très beau travail. Grand bravo.

Magnifique chanson, Bruno. Mais je serais très surpris de trouver Zazie et Cent ans sur les étagères des chambres d'adolescents d'aujourd'hui ...

Si l'on pouvait ne pas vieillir dans cette course contre le temps et retourner à la ligne de départ ... Bref faire un faux départ .😊

Lyrics :
J'ai beau marcher à contre sens
De la rotation de la Terre
Y'a rien à faire mon âge avance
Ça marche pas , bien au contraire
Je brûle tous les calendriers
Je fête pas mes anniversaires
J'ai beau condamner les années
Ça marche pas , bien au contraire

Qu'elle est loin la ligne de départ
Si on pouvait faire demi tour
Se cacher derrière quelque part
Se faire oublier pour toujours
Je voudrais être le dernier
Celui qu'est toujours en retard
Je suis pas pressé d'arriver
J'aimerai faire un faux départ

Je n'aime pas trop les lendemains
C'est aujourd'hui que je préfère
Je compte pas mes heures enfin
Ça marche pas , bien au contraire
Je mets des crèmes à reculer
Un peu de printemps sur l'hiver
Des mensonges sur la vérité
Ça marche pas , bien au contraire

Qu'elle est loin la ligne de départ
Si on pouvait faire demi tour
Se cacher derrière quelque part
Se faire oublier pour toujours
Je voudrais être le dernier
Celui qu'est toujours en retard
Je suis pas pressé d'arriver
J'aimerai faire un faux départ

J'ai peur quand on dit « à demain ! »
Je voudrais qu'on dise «  à hier ! »
Alors j'prie pour un jour sans fin
Ça marche pas , bien au contraire
J'aimerais bien tuer le temps
Il est immortel rien à faire
Prendre le temps de temps en temps
Ça marche pas , bien au contraire

Qu'elle est loin la ligne de départ
Si on pouvait faire demi tour
Se cacher derrière quelque part
Se faire oublier pour toujours
Je voudrais être le dernier
Celui qu'est toujours en retard
Je suis pas pressé d'arriver
J'aimerai faire un faux départ

I may walk against the direction
From the rotation of the Earth
There's nothing my age can do
It doesn't work, on the contrary
I burn all the calendars
I don't celebrate my birthdays
No matter how I condemn the years
It doesn't work, on the contrary

It's a long way to the starting line
If we could turn around
Hide behind somewhere
To be forgotten forever
I'd like to be the last one
The one who's always late
I'm in no hurry to arrive
I'd like to make a false start

I don't really like tomorrows
It's today that I prefer
I'm not counting my hours at last
It's not working, quite the opposite
I'm putting on creams
A little spring over winter
Lies on the truth
It doesn't work, on the contrary

It's a long way to the starting line
If we could turn back
Hide in the back somewhere
And be forgotten forever
I'd like to be the last one
The one who's always late
I'm in no hurry to arrive
I'd like to make a false start

I'm afraid to say "see you tomorrow".
I'd like someone to say "see you yesterday".
So I pray for a day without end
It doesn't work, quite the opposite
I'd like to kill time
It's immortal, nothing to do
Take the time once in a while
It doesn't work, on the contrary

How far away the starting line is
If we could turn around
Hide in the back somewhere
And be forgotten forever
I'd like to be the last one
The one who's always late
I'm in no hurry to arrive
I'd like to make a false start

Lyrics:
What about the one who said
You’re everthing he wanted
What about the one who said
He would do anything for you

Another day another dollar
Saving up to make a move
If we get a chance to see each other
I feel there’s nothing left to prove

No one needs to tell me
About all we’ve been through
I dropped the ball a few times
Have regrets but not because of you

As the day fades away
I know who I’ll be waiting for
As the day fades away
my feeling will grow even more

What about the one who said
You’re everthing he wanted
What about the one who said
He would do anything for you

No one needs to tell me
About all that we’ve been through
I dropped the ball a few times
Have regrets but not beacuse of you

Not Because Of You / featuring Mika

The chorus theme is inspired by the very snappy 90s dance floor smash hit ‘Friends’ by the enchanting Stella Getz

Lyrics:
Truck Stop Killer

Early in the morning light
On the road, she has me back
Instant coffee and morning papers
Leader of the one-man-pack

Engine muffles, desperate cry
Memories will never die
 
Days they come and days they go
Nothing really lasts forever
Roads they come and roads they go
Nothing really lasts forever

Eternal road goes endless straight
Cutting through the dimming oaks
Every mile torfeits in distance
Every mile a memory that chokes

Off the road there is a truck stop
Evening in neon light
Off the road they find some comfort
Leave the lifeline, luck invite

Feelings come and feelings go
Nothing really lasts forever
Girls they come and girls they go
Nothing really lasts forever

Desperate souls in twilight shimmer
Ashtray, beer and stare the wall
8 – Ball table, final quarter
Runaway abandoned call

Forever, ever
Forever!
Nothing really lasts 
forever!

[Verse 1]
Well, I roll into town on a dusty trail,
Boots scuffed up, and my heart’s gone stale.
Got a six-string strapped to my back,
Living for the moment, ain’t looking back.
There’s a bark in the air, a tiny quake,
And that’s why Chihuahuas shake.

[Chorus]
I’m a cowboy, wild and free,
Riding this world like it’s meant to be.
When the thunder rolls, and the ground breaks,
You’ll see the reason Chihuahuas shake.
Yeah, they feel my fire, they know my name,
I’m a cowboy, running untamed.

[Verse 2]
In a honky-tonk bar under neon light,
A Chihuahua stares with a little fright.
I tip my hat, take a shot of Jack,
That tiny dog knows I ain’t holding back.
There’s a tremble in the air, make no mistake,
And that’s why Chihuahuas shake.

[Chorus]
I’m a cowboy, wild and free,
Riding this world like it’s meant to be.
When the thunder rolls, and the ground breaks,
You’ll see the reason Chihuahuas shake.
Yeah, they feel my fire, they know my name,
I’m a cowboy, running untamed.

[Bridge]
It’s not the cold, it’s not the fear,
It’s the spirit of the West that’s drawing near.
When I walk by, you can feel the quake,
That’s why Chihuahuas shake.

[Chorus]
I’m a cowboy, wild and free,
Riding this world like it’s meant to be.
When the thunder rolls, and the ground breaks,
You’ll see the reason Chihuahuas shake.
Yeah, they feel my fire, they know my name,
I’m a cowboy, running untamed.

[Outro]
So if you see a tiny dog tremble and quake,
Just know it’s the legend this cowboy makes.
With every step, I leave my stake,
And that’s why Chihuahuas shake.

That's Why Chihuahuas Shake

La chanson raconte une chambre d'enfant et d'adolescent à travers les livres qui s'y trouvent. 

The song tells the story of a child's and adolescent's bedroom through the books found there.

Une petite étagère
Des manuels scolaires
Cent ans de solitude
une cheval à bascule
Les vestiges du jour
Un grand besoin d’amour
Une chambre d’enfant
Une brève histoire de temps

La maison aux esprits
Des ombres qui circulent
Les enfants de minuit
Des souvenirs qui bousculent
une boite de lego
Zazie dans le metro
Une boite de duplo
american psycho

Une machine à écrire
Pour quelques platitudes
S’imaginer le pire
Une question d’habitude
Le prince des marées
A peur de se noyer
Il préfère s’abonner
Aux rendez-vous manqués

A small shelf
School textbooks
A hundred years of solitude
a rocking horse
The remains of the day
A great need for love
A child's bedroom
A brief history of time

The house of spirits
Shadows that circulate
Midnight's Children
Memories that shake
a box of lego
Zazie in the metro
A duplo box
american psycho

A typewriter
For some platitude
Imagining the worst
A usual question
The prince of the tides
Afraid of drowning
He prefers to subscribe
Missed appointments
