Lyrics and translation James Reyne - Poor Man in the Penthouse
Well
I
don't
know
the
reason
Je
ne
sais
pas
pourquoi
It
came
from
nowhere
C'est
arrivé
de
nulle
part
But
this
street
just
got
paved
with
gold
Mais
cette
rue
est
tout
simplement
pavée
d'or
Well
I
kicked
my
gong
J'ai
donné
un
coup
de
pied
à
mon
gong
Right
out
of
there
Je
suis
parti
de
là
Now
I'm
sitting
on
top
of
the
world
Maintenant
je
suis
assis
au
sommet
du
monde
Sitting
on
top
of
the
world
Assis
au
sommet
du
monde
Who
put
that
stone
in
the
water
Qui
a
mis
cette
pierre
dans
l'eau
Who
threw
that
salt
on
the
sea
Qui
a
jeté
ce
sel
sur
la
mer

The
poor
man
in

Le
pauvre
homme
au

Le
pauvre
homme
au
penthouse
The
poor
man
in
the
penthouse
Le
pauvre
homme
au
penthouse
Down
on
his
knees
À
genoux
Crying
too
much
of
nothing
Pleurant
trop
de
rien
Now
we
sit
together
Maintenant
nous
sommes
assis
ensemble
The
skyline
and
me
L'horizon
et
moi
We've
got
no
worries
no
cares
Nous
n'avons
ni
soucis
ni
soucis
And
if
I
stayed
here
forever
Et
si
je
restais
ici
pour
toujours
Where
would
I
be
Où
serais-je
Alone
at

of
the
stairs
Seul
au
sommet
des
escaliers
Alone
at
the

stairs
Seul

Well
I've
never
climbed
any
mountains
Je
n'ai
jamais
grimpé
de
montagnes
But
I've
seen
them
everywhere
Mais
je
les
ai
vues
partout
Chorus
Refrain
The
dog's
got
his
bone
in
the
alley
Le
chien
a
son
os
dans
l'allée
This
old
cat's
got
nine
lives
to
spare
Ce
vieux
chat
a
neuf
vies
à
perdre
