#4 Les lyrics du jeudi /// Eels

Eels - Hey Man (Now You're Really Living) (From Blinking Lights And Other Revelations)

Aujourd'hui, pas de texte complexe, pas de texte triste non plus. Aujourd'hui on prépare Rock en Seine en fête. En particulier un dimanche de festival qui s'annonce comme un grand moment. Des grands moments? Le lien était tout trouvé.

Dans Hey Man, Eels a décidé d'écrire sur la vie. Ou plus concrètement, sur le fait de se sentir vivre. Par des expériences que l'on vit, bonnes ou moins bonnes. Se jeter par terre sur le sol, sentir le soleil au dessus de sa tête, et bien sur le plaisir et les désillusions de l'amour, voila des moments, courts ou longs, petits détails ou grands évènements, mais tous liées par le fait que l'on se sent exister, par le plaisir d'être tout simplement présent dans ce monde.

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor

Cry your guts out 'til you got no more?

Hey man

Now you're really living

Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl?

Made you feel like it's not such a bad world (Hey!)

Hey man

Now you're really living

Now you're really giving everything (Sha la la la)

And you're really getting all you gave (Sha la la la)

Now you're really living what this life is all about

Well, I just saw the sun rise over the hill

Never used to give me much of a thrill (Hey!)

But hey man

Now I'm really living

Hey!

Do you know what it's like to care too much

'Bout someone that you're never gonna get to touch?

Hey man

Now you're really living

Have you ever sat down in the fresh-cut grass (Hey!)

And thought about the moment and when it will pass? (Hey!)

Hey man

Now you're really living

Now you're really giving everything (Sha la la la)

And you're really getting all you gave (Sha la la la)

Now you're really living what this life is all about

Now

Now what would you say if I told you that (Hey!)

Everyone thinks you're a crazy old cat? (Hey!)

Hey man

Now you're really living

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor (Hey!)

Cry your guts out 'til you got no more? (Hey!)

Hey man

Now you're really living

Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl? (Hey!)

Made you feel like it's not such a bad world (Hey!)

Hey man

Now you're really living

People!

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor (Sing!) (Hey!)

Cry your guts out 'til you got no more? (Hey!)

Hey man

Now you're really living

Well, I just saw the sun rise over the hill (Hey!)

Never used to give me much of a thrill (Hey!)

Hey man

Now I'm really living!

Hey! People! Hey!
