Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - Fear Is a Man's Best Friend
Standing,
waiting
for
a
man
to
show
Debout,
j'attends
qu'un
homme
se
montre
Wide
eyed,
one
eye
fixed
on
the
floor
Les
yeux
grands
ouverts,
l'un
fixe
sur
le
sol
This
waiting's
killing
me
Cette
attente
me
tue
It's
getting
me
down
Elle
me
déprime
Day
in,
day
out
Jour
après
jour
My
feet
are
wearing
holes
in
the
ground
Mes
pieds
creusent
des
trous
dans
le
sol
Darkness
warmer
than
bedroom
floor
L'obscurité
est
plus
chaude
que
le
sol
de
la
chambre
Want
some
to
hold
me
close
(where
the
more?)
Je
veux
que
quelqu'un
me
serre
fort
(où
est-ce
que
le
plus?)
I'm
a
sleeping
dog
Je
suis
un
chien
endormi
But
you
can't
tell
Mais
tu
ne
peux
pas
le
dire
When
I'm
on
the
prowl
Quand
je
suis
à
l'affût
You
better
run
like
hell
Tu
ferais
mieux
de
courir
comme
l'enfer
Yeah,
that
makes
sense
Ouais,
ça
a
du
sens
Don't
think
too
much
about
it
Ne
réfléchis
pas
trop
à
ça
Life
and
death
La
vie
et
la
mort
The
things
we
only
do
when
we're
bored
Les
choses
que
l'on
ne
fait
que
lorsqu'on
s'ennuie
Say
fear
is
a
man's
best
friend
Dis
que
la
peur
est
le
meilleur
ami
de
l'homme
If
you
add
up
it
brings
you
down
Si
tu
additionnes
ça,
ça
te
déprime
Homeless
living
like
a
man
on
the
run
Sans-abri
vivant
comme
un
homme
en
fuite
Days
leading
nowhere
where
to
my
son?
Des
jours
qui
ne
mènent
nulle
part
où
mon
fils?
We're
already
dead
Nous
sommes
déjà
morts
Not
yet
in
the
ground
Pas
encore
dans
la
terre
Grab
ahold
of
my
shaking
hand
Prends
ma
main
tremblante
And
I
will
show
you
around
Et
je
te
montrerai
les
environs
Yeah,
that
makes
sense
Ouais,
ça
a
du
sens
Don't
think
too
much
about
it
Ne
réfléchis
pas
trop
à
ça
Life
and
death
La
vie
et
la
mort
