[daslied]

Check Random Lyrics.

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Did a Pearl Jam fan just say that he couldn't understand the words to a song?

[Farin]

you mean because I should be used to it?

and my French isn't that good really, I need the lyrics written down and a good dictionary to help me

^^ and thanks das (if it works )

[Tenacious_Peaches]

you mean because I should be used to it?

Yup.

[daslied]

Alright, I give up.

Here's a good translation for "Complainte...". If someone would like to try to post it, then have at it.

[Farin]

Yup.

it's actually quite cool, because at first I listen to the songs a few times and think they're really cool

and THEN I search for the lyrics and maybe some facts what it really is about and I only think: wow

it's like discovering a new song all over again

[bazooka]

1. Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan

2. Runaway Train - Soul Asylum

3. Eighteen With A Bullet - Pete Wingfield. It seems likely my vote will be the sum total for this song. The DJ lingo novelty one-hit did achieve #18 (with a bullet) on the Hot 100 in November 1975, making the lyrics* somehat prophetic. But it peaked at #15.

4. It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll ) - AC/DC

5. I'm Sorry - Brenda Lee

6. Massachusetts (The Lights Went Out In ) - Bee Gees

7. Mother - John Lennon

8. Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin

10. Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel

-------------------------

* I'm eighteen ... with a bullet

Got my finger on the trigger, I'm gonna pull it

I'm picked to click now

I'm a son-of-a-gun

So hold it right there little girl, little girl

We're gonna have big fun

I may be an oldie, but I'm a goodie, too

I'll last forever and I'll be good to you

Oh, yes I will

I'm eighteen ... with a bullet

Got my finger on the trigger, I'm gonna pull it

I'm a super-Soul sure-shot, yeah

I'm a national breakout

So let me check your playlist, mama

Huh, c'mon let's make out

I'm high on the chart

I'm tip for the top

But till I'm in your heart

I ain't never gonna stop

Never, never baby

We got a smash double-header

If we only stay together

Talkin' 'bout you

Talkin' 'bout me

I'm eighteen ... with a bullet

Got my finger on the trigger, I'm gonna pull it

Yes I will

Be my A-side, baby, be beside me

Right now, right now I'm a single

But pretty soon you'll see

We'll have a hit first time

And won't be long we'll find

That we're raising a whole LP

You know I'm eighteen ... with a bullet

Yes a ram, baby

I got my finger right there on the trigger

I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull it

You better start makin' plans, baby

This old house is too small
