Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

This is a story of Boy Meets Girl.

The boy, Tom Hanson of Margate, N.J., grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met The One.

This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total misreading of the movie "The Graduate"

The girl, Summer Finn of Michigan, did not share this belief.
Since the disintegration of her parents' marriage, she'd only loved two things.
The first was her long, dark hair.
The second was how easily she could cut it off and feel nothing.

Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he's been searching for.

This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know up front, this is not a love story

They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs have fun, have fun

They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
Because they've got years of experience
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep

We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
The tourists come and stare at us
The sculptor's marble sends regards
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
Our noses have begun to rust
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
Were living in a den of thieves

And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
No, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes in to us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out

Bad kids all my friends are bad kids
Product of no dad kids
Kids like you and me

Bad kids aint no college grad kids
Livin life out on the skids
Kids like you and me

In Class
We are a minority
Got no
Respect for authority
And won't
Play well with others
And steal
From all your mothers
They'll try
To give us pills
Oh wait
Give us all the pills
Go cry
Mom I gotta go to court
Dad won't
Pay his child support

Well you gotta understand
We only do these things because all we are is

Bad kids all my friends are bad kids
Product of no dad kids
Kids like you and me

Bad kids aint no college grad kids
Livin life out on the skids
Kids like you and me

At home
He throws a hissy fit
Time out
He doesn't give a shit
Got drunk
Off all of grandmas schnaps
Got caught
Runnin from the cops
Toilet
Paper on the yard
Six f's
On my report card
Smoke cigs
In the bathroom stall
Spray paint
Penis on the wall

Well you gotta understand
We only do these things because all we are is

Bad kids all my friends are bad kids
Product of no dad kids
Kids like you and me

Bad kids aint no college grad kids
Livin life out on the skids
Kids like you and me

Good times for a change
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man
Turn bad

So please please please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
This time

Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Can make a good man bad

So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time

Out of here
We're out of here
Out of heartache
Along with fear
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear
And cars speed fast
Out of here
And life goes past
Again so near
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear
Close your brown eyes
And lay down next to me
Close your eyes, lay down
'Cause there goes the fear
Let it go
You turn around and life's passed you by
You look to one you love to ask them why ?
You look to those you love to justify
You turned around and life's passed you by
Passed you by again
And late last night
Makes up her mind
Another fight
Left behind
There goes the fear again, let it go
There goes the fear
Close your brown eyes
And lay down next to me
Close your eyes, lay down
'Cause there goes the fear
Let it go
You turn around and life's passed you by
You look to one you love to ask them why ?
You look to those you love to justify, why ?
You turned around and life's passed you by
Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town
Think of me when he's calling out
But don't look back when leaving town
Think of me when you close your eyes
But don't look back when you break all ties
Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town today
There goes the fear again
Let it go
There goes the fear
Let it go
Think of me when you close your eyes
But don't look back when you break all ties
Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town today

What I want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
But like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame

What I've got
Full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how, I can't explain

Oh yeah!
Well well you
You make my dreams come true
Well well you
Oh yeah!
You make my dreams come true

On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face

Twist and shout my way out
And wrape yourself around me
'Cause I ain't the way that you found me
I'll never be the same

Oh yeah!
Well can't you
You make my dreams come true
Yeah
Well well well you
You make my dreams come true
Oh yeah!
Listen to this

I'm down on the daydream
That sleepwalk should be over by now
I know

That you
Yeah
You make my dreams come true
Oh yeah!
I've waited, waited for you, girl
Oh yeah!
You make my dreams come true
(You make my dreams)
Come true
You and me, you and me...

Sweet disposition
Never too soon
Oh, reckless abandon
Like no one's watching you
A moment
A love
A dream
Aloud
A kiss
A cry
Our rights
Our wrongs
A moment a love
A dream
Aloud
A moment a love
A dream
Aloud

So stay there
Cause I'll be coming over
And while our blood's still young
It's so young, it runs
And won't stop til it's over
Won't stop to surrender

Songs of desperation
I played them for you
A moment
A love
A dream
Aloud
A kiss
A cry

Our rights
Our wrongs
A moment a love
A dream
Aloud
A moment a love
A dream
Aloud

So stay there
Cause I'll be coming over
And while our blood's still young
It's so young, it runs
And won't stop til it's over

Won't stop to surrender

On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose,
Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses.
On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud
Que de nos chagrins il s'en fait des manteaux

Chorus :
Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit...
Que tu m'aimais encore,
C'est quelqu'un qui m'a dit
Que tu m'aimais encore.
Serait-ce possible alors ?

On dit que le destin se moque bien de nous
Qu'il ne nous donne rien et qu'il nous promet tout
Paraît qu'le bonheur est à portée de main,
Alors on tend la main et on se retrouve fou

Chorus

Mais qui est-ce qui m'a dit que toujours tu m'aimais?
Je ne me souviens plus c'était tard dans la nuit,
J'entend encore la voix, mais je ne vois plus les traits
"Il vous aime, c'est secret, lui dites pas que j'vous l'ai dit"
Tu vois quelqu'un m'a dit...

Que tu m'aimais encore, me l'a t'on vraiment dit...
Que tu m'aimais encore, serais ce possible alors ?

On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose,
Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses
On me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud
Que de nos tristesses il s'en fait des manteaux,

Chorus

Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups

But in the meantime I've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay

Old dirt road
Knee deep snow
Watching the fire as we grow old

I got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done

How many acres how much light
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap
On a little road barely on the map

Old dirt road
Knee deep snow
Watching the fire as we grow old
Old dirt road
Rambling rose
Watching the fire as we grow well I'm sold

He never ever saw it coming at all
He never ever saw it coming at all
He never ever saw it coming at all

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Hey, open wide here comes original sin
Hey, open wide here comes original sin
Hey, open wide here comes original sin

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

No one's got it all
No one's got it all
No one's got it all

Power to the people
We don't want it
We want pleasure
And the T.V.s try to rape us
And I guess that they're succeeding
Now we're going to these meetings
But we're not doin' any meetin'
And we're trying to be faithful but we're cheatin', cheatin', cheatin'

Hey, open wide here comes original sin
Hey, open wide here comes original sin
Hey, open wide here comes original sin

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

No one's got it all
No one's got it all
No one's got it all

Power to the people
We don't want it
We want pleasure
And the T.V.s try to rape us
And I guess that they're succeeding
And we're going to these meetings
But we're not doin' any meetin'
And we're trying to be faithful but we're cheatin', cheatin', cheatin'

I'm the hero of the story
Don't need to be saved
I'm the hero of the story
Don't need to be saved
I'm the hero of the story
Don't need to be saved
I'm the hero of the story
Don't need to be saved

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

No one's got it all
No one's got it all
No one's got it all

Time it was
And what a time it was It was
A time of innocence
A time of confidences
Long ago
It must be
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They're all that's left you

Oh girl I don't know all the reasons why
I found the answer looking in your eye
I go out walking all day long
Take away this lonely man, soon he will be gone
'Cause I'll tell you everything about living free
Yes I can see you girl, can you see me?

You don't need to know what I do all day
It's as much as I know, watch it waste away
Cause I'll tell you everything about living free
Yes I can see you girl, can you see me?

Go and see the sorcerer look into the ball
You may find the answer written on the wall
The left one was a dancer, can you see the answer? Oh …

Put her on a mansion on top of the hill
Please don't make her do the things that I guess I will
I found something special, I don't know why
Looking into her pretty little eye
'Cause I'll tell you everything about being free

She's got you high and you don't even know yet
She's got you high and you don't even know yet
The sun's in the sky, its warming up your bare legs
You can't deny your looking for the sunset

She's got you high and you don't even know yet
She's got you high and you don't even know yet
It's the search for the time before it leaves without you
Have you lost your mind or has she taken all of yours too?
Whats this about? I figured love would shine through
We've lost romance this world has turned so see through
Open your mind, believe it's going to come to
Keep romance alive and hope she's going to tell you

She's got you high and you don't even know yet
She's got you high and you don't even know yet
The sun's in the sky, it makes for happy endings
You can't deny you want a happy ending

Whats this about? I figured love would shine through
We've lost romance this world has turned so see through
Open your mind, believe it's going to come to
Keep romance alive and hope she's going to tell you

She's got you high
She's got you high
She's got you high

Whats this about? I figured love would shine through
We've lost romance this world has turned so see through
Open your mind, believe it's going to come to
Keep romance alive and hope she's going to tell you

Whats this about? I figured love would shine through
We've lost romance this world has turned so see through
Open your mind, believe it's going to come to
Keep romance alive and hope she's going to tell you

She's got you high

Whats this about? I figured love would shine through
We've lost romance this world has turned so see through
Open your mind, believe it's going to come to
Keep romance alive and hope she's going to tell you

She's got you high!

Outside there's a box car waiting
Outside the family stew ew ew ew
Outside the fire breathing
Outside we wait 'til face turns blue

I know the nervous walking
I know the dirty beard hang hang hangs
Out by the box car waiting
Take me away to nowhere plains
There is a wait so long (so long, so long)
You'll never wait so long....

Chorus :
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man an an
Here comes your man

Big shake on the box car moving
Big shake to the land that's falling down
Is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
A big, big stone fall and break my crown
There is a wait so long (so long, so long)
You'll never wait so long....

Chorus :
Hey, here's your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man an an
Here comes your man

Here he comes
Here comes your man an an an an
Here comes your man

Here comes your man
Here come your man
Here he comes, your man
Well, here comes your man
Hey, here's your man
Here he comes
