Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - You Pulled the Carpet Out
I
know
sometimes
I'm
not
the
man
you
married
Je
sais
que
parfois
je
ne
suis
pas
l'homme
que
tu
as
épousé
I'm
like
some
lame
lead
singer
in
a
tribute
band
Je
suis
comme
un
chanteur
principal
médiocre
dans
un
groupe
hommage
And
just
as
I
snatch
victory
from
the
jaws
of
my
defeat
Et
juste
au
moment
où
j'arrache
la
victoire
des
mâchoires
de
ma
défaite
You
pull
the
carpet
out
from
underneath
my
feet
Tu
retires
le
tapis
sous
mes
pieds
Well,
I
never
forget
that
I'm
someone's
daddy
Eh
bien,
je
n'oublie
jamais
que
je
suis
le
papa
de
quelqu'un
But
I
guess
I
must
be
careless
with
my
time
Mais
je
suppose
que
je
dois
être
négligent
avec
mon
temps
'Cause
just
when
I
think
that
I've
got
my
weekend
plans
Parce
que
juste
au
moment
où
je
pense
que
j'ai
mes
plans
de
week-end
You
pull
the
carpet
out
from
underneath
my
feet
Tu
retires
le
tapis
sous
mes
pieds
I
ain't
never
been
no
follower
of
fashion
Je
n'ai
jamais
été
un
suiveur
de
la
mode
But
just
like
you
I
got
my
sense
of
style
Mais
tout
comme
toi,
j'ai
mon
sens
du
style
So
why
is
it
whenever
we're
together
on
the
street
Alors
pourquoi
est-ce
que
chaque
fois
que
nous
sommes
ensemble
dans
la
rue
You
pull
the
carpet
out
from
underneath
my
feet?
Tu
retires
le
tapis
sous
mes
pieds
?
It's
not
like
you
don't
love
me
anymore
Ce
n'est
pas
comme
si
tu
ne
m'aimais
plus
You
just
like
to
send
me
sprawling
on
the
floor
Tu
aimes
juste
me
faire
tomber
à
plat
ventre
sur
le
sol
Just
like
Caesar
had
his
slave
to
keep
him
mortal
Tout
comme
César
avait
son
esclave
pour
le
maintenir
mortel
I
guess
I've
got
you
to
cut
me
down
to
size
Je
suppose
que
je
t'ai
pour
me
rabaisser
'Cause
there's
just
no
one
else
to
knock
me
off
my
feet
Parce
qu'il
n'y
a
personne
d'autre
pour
me
faire
tomber
de
mes
pieds
You'll
pick
me
up
when
I'm
feelin'
down
Tu
me
relèveras
quand
je
me
sentirai
mal
