Lyrics and translation Ben Folds Five - Video - previously unreleased, Live Stockholm, Sweden, 3/12/1997




Video - previously unreleased, Live Stockholm, Sweden, 3/12/1997
Vidéo - inédit, Live Stockholm, Suède, 3/12/1997
Barren stares as they light up the screen
Des regards vides s'illuminent sur l'écran
Bearing teardrops that shatter in slow-motion
Des larmes coulent lentement et se brisent
Novacaine our brains and we're out like lights
De la novocaïne dans nos cerveaux et on s'éteint comme des lumières
As I'm growing older I'm bored
En vieillissant, je m'ennuie
I remember when misery thrilled me much more
Je me souviens du temps la misère me procurait bien plus de sensations fortes
When I can't relax
Quand je ne pouvais pas me détendre
And I'd like to go back
Et que j'aurais aimé revenir en arrière
But that's gone
Mais c'est fini
Yeah, that's gone, Turn around
Ouais, c'est fini, Retourne-toi
Turn the volume down
Baisse le son
We're counting the days down
On compte les jours qui nous séparent
Till the day when we live in a video
Du jour on vivra dans une vidéo
I'll be stone-faced and pale
Je serai impassible et pâle
You'll pout in stereo
Tu feras la moue en stéréo
24 hours every day of the year
24 heures par jour, tous les jours de l'année
Oh, what fun I can't wait 'til the future gets here
Oh, quel plaisir, j'ai hâte que l'avenir arrive
Closing in on the pain and the torture
On se rapproche de la douleur et de la torture
He's slamming the doors like it's something to strive for
Il claque les portes comme s'il s'agissait d'un objectif à atteindre
The girl tearing the curtains down looks funny as hell
La fille qui arrache les rideaux a l'air sacrément drôle
And of sense of humor can there be any doubt
Et peut-on douter de son sens de l'humour
Yeah well natural selection has weeded it out
Eh bien, la sélection naturelle l'a éliminé
Used to keep me from laughing out loud
Elle m'empêchait de rire à gorge déployée
But that's gone
Mais c'est fini
We don't think that way no more
On ne pense plus comme ça
That's gone, turn around, turn the volume down
C'est fini, retourne-toi, baisse le son
We're counting the days down
On compte les jours qui nous séparent
Well I've seen some old friends sort of die
J'ai vu certains vieux amis mourir en quelque sorte
Or just turn into whatever
Ou se transformer en quelque chose
Must've been inside them
Qui devait être en eux
And whatever all of us had then in common
Et tout ce que nous avions en commun à l'époque
Grew up and left home
A grandi et a quitté le domicile familial
We don't think that way no more
On ne pense plus comme ça
Turn around, turn the volume down
Retourne-toi, baisse le son
We're counting the days down
On compte les jours qui nous séparent
