Lyrics and translation Echo & The Bunnymen - Friction (Live, 1985)
I
knew
it
musta
been
some
big
set-up.
Je
savais
que
ça
devait
être
un
gros
complot.
All
the
Action
just
would
not
let
up.
Toute
l'action
ne
voulait
pas
s'arrêter.
It's
just
a
little
bit
back
from
the
main
road
C'est
juste
un
peu
en
retrait
de
la
route
principale
Where
the
silence
spreads
and
the
men
dig
holes.
Là
où
le
silence
s'étend
et
les
hommes
creusent
des
trous.
I
start
to
spin
the
tale
Je
commence
à
tisser
l'histoire
You
complain
of
my
diction
Tu
te
plains
de
ma
diction
You
give
me
friction
Tu
me
donnes
de
la
friction
You
give
me
friction
Tu
me
donnes
de
la
friction
You
give
me
friction
Tu
me
donnes
de
la
friction
My
eyes
are
like
telescopes
Mes
yeux
sont
comme
des
télescopes
I
see
it
all
backwards:
but
who
wants
hope?
Je
vois
tout
à
l'envers
: mais
qui
veut
de
l'espoir
?
If
I
ever
catch
that
ventriloquist
Si
jamais
j'attrape
ce
ventriloque
I'll
squeeze
his
head
right
into
my
fist.
Je
vais
lui
écraser
la
tête
dans
mon
poing.
Something
comes
tracking
in,
Quelque
chose
arrive
en
traînant,
What
is
it?
What's
the
prediction?
Qu'est-ce
que
c'est
? Quelle
est
la
prédiction
?
I'll
betcha
it's
friction
Je
parie
que
c'est
de
la
friction
I'll
betcha
it's
friction
Je
parie
que
c'est
de
la
friction
I'll
betcha
it's
friction
Je
parie
que
c'est
de
la
friction
Rattlesnake,
get
out
of
the
snake
pit
Serpent
à
sonnette,
sors
de
la
fosse
aux
serpents
Stop
this
head
motion...
set
the
sails.
Arrête
ce
mouvement
de
tête...
hisse
les
voiles.
You
know
all
us
boys
gonna
wind
up
in
jail.
Tu
sais
que
nous,
les
garçons,
on
va
tous
finir
en
prison.
I
don't
wanna
grow
up
Je
ne
veux
pas
grandir
There's
too
much
contradiction
Il
y
a
trop
de
contradiction
There's
too
much
friction
Il
y
a
trop
de
friction
There's
too
much
friction
Il
y
a
trop
de
friction
I
need

J'ai
besoin
de
