Lyrics and translation Chumbawamba - This Year's Thing




This Year's Thing
La chose de cette année
Roll up roll up
Rassemblez-vous, rassemblez-vous
The greatest show on Earth
Le plus grand spectacle du monde
Animals clowns freaks misfits contortionists
Animaux, clowns, monstres, marginaux, contorsionnistes
Fun for all the family
Du plaisir pour toute la famille
Currently residing in the 'where are they now' file
Actuellement dans le dossier « Où sont-ils maintenant ?»
All tied up in elastic
Tous liés par du caoutchouc
Stubborn like weeds they've been here all the while
Têtus comme des mauvaises herbes, ils sont là depuis toujours
I saw the egis grow
J'ai vu l'égis grandir
In good working order adjustable spanner
En bon état de marche, clé à molette réglable
Industry junkies
Accros de l'industrie
Regurgitated cabaret under the hammer
Cabaret régurgité sous le marteau
They were running the show
Ils dirigeaient le spectacle
Let's hear it for
Acclamons
This year's thing
La chose de cette année
Last year's thing
La chose de l'année dernière
Next year's thing
La chose de l'année prochaine
Step right this way
Venez par ici
Thrills chills and spills
Frissons, frissons et sensations fortes
Marvel at the daring feats
Émerveillez-vous devant les prouesses audacieuses
Pure entertainment
Divertissement pur
Karaoke sex we can spend the night together
Karaoké sex, on peut passer la nuit ensemble
I made a date with Elvis
J'ai donné rendez-vous à Elvis
While someone does a runner with the group's bread and butter
Alors que quelqu'un s'enfuit avec le pain et le beurre du groupe
I heard the colonel sing
J'ai entendu le colonel chanter
From a packet of twenty when will they learn
D'un paquet de vingt, quand apprendront-ils
Sickalongadanbert
Sickalongadanbert
That for one good smoke there's nineteen that burn
Que pour une bonne cigarette, il y en a dix-neuf qui brûlent
I never saw the strings
Je n'ai jamais vu les ficelles
Attached to
Attachées à
This year's thing
La chose de cette année
Last year's thing
La chose de l'année dernière
Next year's thing
La chose de l'année prochaine
Jump a little higher
Saute un peu plus haut
Live by fire die by fire
Vivre par le feu, mourir par le feu
I am the dog in the manger
Je suis le chien dans la crèche
Or a dodgy brown packet with suspicious-looking wires
Ou un paquet brun louche avec des fils suspects
Here's my starter for ten
Voici mon point de départ
Behind that pane of glass your special backstage pass
Derrière cette vitre, votre passe backstage spécial
Hear the never-has-been
Entends le jamais-été
Meet the manager with his kex down and kiss his arse
Rencontre le manager avec son kex baissé et embrasse son cul
And watch what happen again
Et regarde ce qui se passe encore
This time it's this year's thing
Cette fois, c'est la chose de cette année
Last year's thing
La chose de l'année dernière
Next year's thing
La chose de l'année prochaine
Politics is this year's thing
La politique, c'est la chose de cette année

Исполнитель Chumbawamba, альбом The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won.
