Fred Jones, Pt. 2 (With the West Australian Symphony Orchestra) [Live At Kings Park in Perth, Australia, 3/12/03]
Fred Jones, Pt. 2 (Avec l'Orchestre Symphonique d'Australie Occidentale) [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
ombre
jeune
et
maladroite
qui
attend
dans
le
couloir
He's
cleared
all
his
things
and
he's
put
them
in
boxes
Il
a
rangé
toutes
ses
affaires
et
les
a
mises
dans
des
boîtes
Things
that
remind
him:
'Life
has
been
good'
Des
choses
qui
lui
rappellent:
"La
vie
a
été
bonne"
Twenty-five
years
Vingt-cinq
ans
He's
worked
at
the
paper
Il
a
travaillé
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
Et
je
suis
désolé,
Monsieur
Jones
There
was
no
party,
there
were
no
songs
Il
n'y
a
pas
eu
de
fête,
il
n'y
a
pas
eu
de
chansons
'Cause
today's
just
a
day
like
the
day
that
he
started
Parce
que
aujourd'hui
est
un
jour
comme
le
jour
où
il
a
commencé
Noone
has
left
here
that
knows
his
first
name
Personne
n'est
parti
d'ici
qui
connaisse
son
prénom
And
life
barrels
on
like
a
runaway
train
Et
la
vie
file
comme
un
train
lancé
à
toute
allure
Where
the
passengers
change
Où
les
passagers
changent
They
don't
change
anything
Ils
ne
changent
rien
You
get
off;
someone
else
can
get
on
Tu
descends;
quelqu'un
d'autre
peut
monter
And
I'm
sorry,
Mr.
Jones
Et
je
suis
désolé,
Monsieur
Jones
Streetlight
shines
through
the
shades
Le
réverbère
brille
à
travers
les
abat-jour
Casting
lines
on
the
floor,
and
lines
on
his
face
Projette
des
lignes
sur
le
sol
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
va
au
sous-sol
Projecting
some
slides
onto
a
plain
white
Projette
quelques
diapositives
sur
une
toile
blanche
Canvas
and
traces
it
Et
la
trace
Fills
in
the
spaces
Remplit
les
espaces
He
turns
off
the
slides,
and
it
doesn't
look
right
Il
éteint
les
diapositives,
et
ça
n'a
pas
l'air
bien
Yeah,
and
all
of
these
bastards
Oui,
et
tous
ces
salopards
Have
taken
his
place
Ont
pris
sa
place
He's
forgotten
but
not
yet
gone
Il
est
oublié
mais
pas
encore
parti
And
I'm
sorry,
Mr.
Jones
Et
je
suis
désolé,
Monsieur
Jones
And
I'm
sorry,
Mr.
Jones
Et
je
suis
désolé,
Monsieur
Jones
And
I'm
sorry,
Mr.
Jones
Et
je
suis
désolé,
Monsieur
Jones
