Fred Jones Part 2 - Live Kings Park in Perth, Australia, 3/12/03
Fred Jones Partie 2 - En direct de Kings Park à Perth, Australie, 3/12/03
Fred
sits
alone
at
his
desk
in
the
dark
Fred
est
assis
seul
à
son
bureau
dans
le
noir
There's
an
awkward
young
shadow
that
waits
in
the
hall
Il
y
a
une
jeune
ombre
maladroite
qui
attend
dans
le
couloir
He
has
packed
all
his
things
Il
a
fait
ses
valises
And
he's
put
them
in
boxes
Et
il
les
a
mises
dans
des
cartons
Things
that
remind
him
that
life
has
been
good
Des
choses
qui
lui
rappellent
que
la
vie
a
été
bonne
Twenty
five
years
he's
worked
at
the
paper
Vingt-cinq
ans
qu'il
travaille
au
journal
A
man's
here
to
take
him
downstairs
Un
homme
est
là
pour
l'emmener
en
bas
And
I'm
sorry
Mr
Jones,
it's
time
Et
je
suis
désolé
M.
Jones,
il
est
temps
There
was
no
party
and
there
were
no
songs
Il
n'y
a
pas
eu
de
fête
et
il
n'y
a
pas
eu
de
chansons
Cause
today's
just
a
day
like
the
day
that
he
started
Parce
qu'aujourd'hui
est
un
jour
comme
le
jour
où
il
a
commencé
And
no
one
is
left
here
that
knows
his
first
name
Et
il
ne
reste
personne
ici
qui
connaisse
son
prénom
Yeah,
and
life
barrels
on
like
a
runaway
train
Ouais,
et
la
vie
fonce
comme
un
train
en
fuite
Where
the
passengers
change
Où
les
passagers
changent
They
don't
change
anything
Ils
ne
changent
rien
Someone
else
can
get
on
Quelqu'un
d'autre
peut
monter
And
I'm
sorry
Mr
Jones,
it's
time
Et
je
suis
désolé
M.
Jones,
il
est
temps
The
streetlight
it
shines
through
the
haze
Le
réverbère
brille
à
travers
la
brume
Casting
lines
on
the
floor
Jetant
des
lignes
sur
le
sol
And
lines
on
his
face
Et
des
lignes
sur
son
visage
He
reflects
on
the
day
Il
réfléchit
à
la
journée
Fred
gets
his
paints
out
and
goes
to
the
basement
Fred
sort
ses
peintures
et
descend
au
sous-sol
Projecting
some
slides
onto
a
plain
white
canvas
Projetant
quelques
diapositives
sur
une
toile
blanche
And
traces
it
Et
il
les
trace
Fills
in
the
spaces
Remplit
les
espaces
He
turns
off
the
slides
Il
éteint
les
diapositives
And
it
doesn't
look
right
Et
ça
n'a
pas
l'air
bien
Yeah,
and
all
of
these
bastards
have
taken
his
place
Ouais,
et
tous
ces
salauds
ont
pris
sa
place
He's
forgotten
but
not
yet
gone
Il
a
été
oublié
mais
pas
encore
disparu
And
I'm
sorry
Mr
Jones
Et
je
suis
désolé
M.
Jones
And
I'm
sorry
Mr
Jones
Et
je
suis
désolé
M.
Jones
And
I'm
sorry
Mr
Jones,
it's
time
Et
je
suis
désolé
M.
Jones,
il
est
temps
