Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world
How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it

It's life and you just got to play the game

I find me a place in a box car, so I take my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and
I feel fine
(minor scat) But it's a rainy night in Georgia, baby, it's a rainy night
in Georgia I
feel it's rainin' all over the world, kinda lonely now And it's rainin'
all over the
world
Oh, have you ever been lonely, people?
And you feel that it was rainin' all over this man's world
You're talking 'bout rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin', rainin',
rainin', rainin',
rainin', rainin' rainin', rainin', rainin'

 " The Boys Are Back dans la ville "est un single du groupe de hard rock irlandais Thin Lizzy . La chanson est sorti en 1976 sur leur album Jailbreak . Elle a atteint la 12 ème position des charts US, la 8ème place au Royaume Uni et le numéro 1 dans leur pays. Le succès de la chanson est du à l'âme Gaélique du chanteur Phil Lynott et à la "double -lead guitare" de Scott Gorham et Brian Robertson.

Lynott est mort en 1986 d'une overdose, mais reste une icône de la dimension de Springsteen dans son Irlande natale.

Guess who just got back today?
Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think those cats are great

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town

You know the chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming

That night over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town

Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavour
It happens to be like;
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies

Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother
Holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying
Why, oh why?
'cause I need to watch things die
From a distance

Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?

We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
The writers of stories sold
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance

Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down
Drawn on grave and ground

Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie

Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.
Pull your head on out your hippy haze and give a listen.
Shouldn't have to say it all again.
The universe is hostile. so Impersonal. devour to survive.
So it is. So it's always been.

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I 

" More Than a Feeling "est une chanson du groupe de rock de Boston. C'est le premier single de leur premier album éponyme sorti en Septembre 1976. Le titre atteint le numéro cinq du Billboard Hot 100 . La chanson est maintenant un incontournable du rock classique et en 2009 elle a été nommé la 39e meilleure chanson de hard rock de tous les temps par VH1.

 Inspiré par le déchirant "Walk away Renée" (le titre aussi est déchirant^^) du groupe The Left Banke, Tom Scholz, ingénieur chez Polaroïd, a peaufiné cet hymne pendant 5 ans dans sa cave. Menée par la voix haut perchée de Brad Delp, "Feeling" contribua à faire écouler 17 millions d'exemplaires de Boston (qui ser n°3 au billboard hot 200), et inspira plus tard le riff de "Smell like teen spirit" de Nirvana.

I woke up this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more than a feeling
More than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play
More than a feeling
And I begin dreaming
More than a feeling
'Til I see Mary Ann walk away
I see my Mary Ann walkin' away

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky

It's more than a feeling
More than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play
More than a feeling
And I begin dreaming
More than a feeling
'Til I see Mary Ann walk away
I see my Maria Ann walkin' away

When I?m tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

It's more than a feeling
More than a feeling
When I hear that old song they used to play
More than a feeling
And I begin dreaming
More than a feeling
'Til I see Mary Ann walk away

"Paint A Vulgar Picture", un des meilleurs morceaux de l'album "Strangeways, Here We Come", montre tout l'immense talent de Johnny Marr à la guitare avec une mélodie parfaite, tandis que la voix de Morrissey est excellente, irréprochable. 

At the record company meeting 
On their hands - a dead star 
And oh, the plans they weave 
And oh, the sickening greed 

At the record company party 
On their hands - a dead star 
The sycophantic slags all say :
"I knew him first, and I knew him well"


Re-issue ! Re-package ! Re-package ! 
Re-evaluate the songs 
Double-pack with a photograph 
Extra Track (and a tacky badge) 


A-list, playlist 
"Please them , please them !"
"Please them !"
(sadly, THIS was your life) 


But you could have said no 
If you'd wanted to 
You could have said no 
If you'd wanted to 


BPI, MTV, BBC 
"Please them ! Please them !"
(sadly this was your life) 


But you could have said no 
If you'd wanted to 
You could have walked away 
...Couldn't you ? 


I touched you at the soundcheck 
You had no real way of knowing 
In my heart I begged "Take me with you ...
I don't care where you're going..."


But to you I was faceless 
I was fawning, I was boring 
Just a child from those ugly new houses 
Who could never begin to know 


Who could never really know 
Oh ... 


Best of ! Most of ! 
Satiate the need 
Slip them into different sleeves ! 
Buy both, and feel deceived 


Climber - new entry, re-entry 
World tour ! ("media whore") 
"Please the Press in Belgium !"
(THIS was your life...) 


And when it fails to recoup ? 
Well, maybe : 
You just haven't earned it yet, baby 


I walked a pace behind you at the soundcheck 
You're just the same as I am 
What makes most people feel happy 
Leads us headlong into harm 


So, in my bedroom in those 'ugly new houses' 
I danced my legs down to the knees 
But me and my 'true love' 
Will never meet again ... 


At the record company meeting 
On their hands - at last ! - a dead star ! 
But they can never taint you in my eyes 
No, they can never touch you now 


No, they cannot hurt you, my darling 
They cannot touch you now 
But me and my 'true love' 
Will never meet again
