Merci Valérie!!!

28.07.2008

Aujourd'hui c'est spéciale dédicace à Valérie, une amie à moi, qui est aussi une ancienne collègue, et qui pour mon départ de l'IUFM de Rouen, il y a deux ans, m'avait offert une petite compil' de son groupe préféré : The Divine Comedy.
Comme mauvaise écouteuse que je suis, j'ai tendance à cumuler les CD et à ne les écouter que longtemps plus tard, beaucoup longtemps plus tard. Donc voilà, depuis ces deux ans que ce CD est en ma possession, je l'écoute enfin, et j'ai fait une belle découverte, surtout deux chansons que j'aime beaucoup et que voici pour le plaisir de vos oreilles...

Everybody knows except you

Everybody knows that I love you,
Everybody knows that I need you,
Everybody knows that I do,
Except you.

I told the stars above,
About the one I love,
I told the morning sun,
Yeah I'm telling everyone,
I told my mum and dad,
They seemed to understand,
And I'll get through to you,
If it's the last thing that I do.

Everybody knows that I love you,
Everybody knows that I need you,
Everybody knows that I do,
Except you.

Everybody knows I live for you,
Everybody knows I adore you,
Everybody knows that it's true,
Except you.

I told all of my friends,
Again and again and again,
I drove them round the bend,
So now you're my only friend,
I told the passers by,
I made a small boy cry,
And I'll get through to you,
If it's the last thing that I do.

Cause,
Everybody knows that I love you,
Everybody knows that I need you,
Everybody knows that I do,
Except you.

I'm going crazy baby,
What do I have to do,
You know I love you baby,
Maybe you'll love me too.

Everybody knows I live for you,
And everybody knows I adore you,
Everybody knows that it's true,
Except you.
Except you
Except you
Except you
How come everyone knows,
Except you.

Everybody knows that I love you,
Everybody knows that I need you,
And everybody knows that I do,
Except you

If...

If you were the road
I'd go all the way
If you were the night
I'd sleep in the day
If you were the day
I'd cry in the night
'Cause you are the way
The truth and the light
If you were a tree
I could put my arms around you
And you could not complain
If you were a tree
I could carve my name into your side
And you would not cry,
'Cos trees don't cry

If you were a man
I would still love you
If you were a drink
I'd drink my fill of you
If you were attacked
I would kill for you
If your name was Jack
I'd change mine to Jill for you
If you were a horse
I'd clean the crap out of your stable
And never once complain
If you were a horse
I could ride you through the fields at dawn
Through the day until the day was gone
I could sing about you in my songs
As we rode away into the setting sun

If you were my little girl
I would find it hard to let you go
If you were my sister
I would find it doubly so
If you were a dog
I'd feed you scraps from off the table
Though my wife complains
If you were my dog
I am sure you'd like it better
Then you'd be my loyal four legged friend
You'd never have to think again
And we could be together till the end
