Lyrics and translation Buzzcocks - Breakdown - Live, The Northwick Theatre, Worcester, 21 June 1993
If
I
seem
a
little
jittery,
I
can't
restrain
myself
Si
je
parais
un
peu
nerveux,
je
ne
peux
pas
me
retenir
I'm
falling
into
fancy
fragments,
can't
contain
myself
Je
tombe
en
morceaux
fantastiques,
je
ne
peux
pas
me
contenir
I'm
gonna
breakdown,
gonna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
vais
craquer,
je
vais
craquer,
oui
I'm
gonna
breakdown,
gonna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
vais
craquer,
je
vais
craquer,
oui
Now
I
can
stand
austerity
but
it
gets
a
little
much
Maintenant,
je
peux
supporter
l'austérité,
mais
ça
devient
un
peu
trop
When
there's
all
these
livid
things
that
you
never
get
in
touch
Quand
il
y
a
toutes
ces
choses
vives
auxquelles
tu
ne
touches
jamais
I'm
gonna
breakdown,
gonna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
vais
craquer,
je
vais
craquer,
oui
I'm
gonna
breakdown,
gonna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
vais
craquer,
je
vais
craquer,
oui
I
feel
me
brain
like
porridge
coming
out
of
me
ears
Je
sens
mon
cerveau
comme
du
porridge
qui
sort
de
mes
oreilles
And
I
was
anticipating
reverie
Et
j'anticipais
la
rêverie
I've
taken
leave
of
me
senses
and
I'm
in
arrears
J'ai
perdu
la
tête
et
je
suis
en
retard
My
legs
buckle
over,
I'm
living
on
my
knees
Mes
jambes
cèdent,
je
vis
à
genoux
Breakdown,
yeah,
gonna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
vais
craquer,
oui,
je
vais
craquer,
oui
Gonna
breakdown,
yeah,
uh-huh
Je
vais
craquer,
oui,
uh-huh
Whatever
makes
me
tick,
it
takes
away
my
concentration
Ce
qui
me
fait
tic-tac,
me
fait
perdre
la
concentration
Sets
my
hands
a-trembling,
gives
me
frustration
Me
fait
trembler
les
mains,
me
donne
de
la
frustration
I'm
gonna
breakdown,
gonna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
vais
craquer,
je
vais
craquer,
oui
I'm
gonna
breakdown,
oh,
I'm
gonna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
vais
craquer,
oh,
je
vais
craquer,
oui
Well,
I
hear
that
two
is
company,
for
me
it's
plenty
trouble
Eh
bien,
j'ai
entendu
dire
que
deux
c'est
compagnie,
pour
moi
c'est
beaucoup
de
problèmes
Though
my
double
thoughts
are
clearer
now
that
I
am
seeing
double
Bien
que
mes
pensées
doubles
soient
plus
claires
maintenant
que
je
vois
double
I'm
gonna
breakdown,
gonna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
vais
craquer,
je
vais
craquer,
oui
I'm
gonna
breakdown,
oh,
I'm
gonna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
vais
craquer,
oh,
je
vais
craquer,
oui
Oh
mum,
can
I
grow
out
of
what's
too
big
for
me?
Oh
maman,
est-ce
que
je
peux
grandir
hors
de
ce
qui
est
trop
grand
pour
moi
?
I'll
give
up
that
ghost
before
it
gives
up
me
J'abandonnerai
ce
fantôme
avant
qu'il
ne
m'abandonne
I
wander
loaded
as
a
crowd,
a
nowhere
wolf
of
pain
Je
erre
chargé
comme
une
foule,
un
loup
de
douleur
de
nulle
part
Living
next
to
nothing,
my
nevermind
remains
Vivre
à
côté
de
rien,
mon
sans-souci
reste
Breakdown
yeah,
gonna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
vais
craquer
oui,
je
vais
craquer,
oui
Wanna
breakdown,
yeah
Je
veux
craquer,
oui
Uh-huh,
ah-ah,
ah-ah,
ah-ah...
Uh-huh,
ah-ah,
ah-ah,
ah-ah...
Thank
you!
Good
night!
Merci
! Bonne
nuit
