Lyrics and translation The Jam - 'A' Bomb In Wardour Street (Live At Reading University, UK / 1979)
Where
the
streets
are
paved
with
blood
Là
où
les
rues
sont
pavées
de
sang
With
cataclysmic
overtones
Avec
des
connotations
cataclysmiques
Fear
and
hate
linger
in
the
air
La
peur
et
la
haine
persistent
dans
l'air
A
strictly
no-go
deadly
zone
Une
zone
mortelle
à
éviter
absolument
I
don′t
know
what
I'm
doing
here
Je
ne
sais
pas
ce
que
je
fais
ici
′Cause
it's
not
my
scene
at
all
Parce
que
ce
n'est
pas
mon
truc
du
tout
There's
an
A-bomb
in
Wardour
Street
Il
y
a
une
bombe
A
dans
Wardour
Street
They′ve
called
in
the
army
Ils
ont
appelé
l'armée
They′ve
called
in
the
police
too
Ils
ont
aussi
appelé
la
police
I'm
stranded
on
the
vortex
floor
Je
suis
bloqué
sur
le
sol
du
vortex
My
head′s
been
kicked
in
On
m'a
donné
un
coup
de
pied
à
la
tête
And
blood's
started
to
pour
Et
le
sang
a
commencé
à
couler
Through
the
haze
I
can
see
my
girl
À
travers
la
brume,
je
peux
voir
ma
fille
15
geezers
got
her
pinned
to
the
door
15
mecs
la
tiennent
coincée
contre
la
porte
I
try
to
reach
her
but
fall
back
to
the
floor
J'essaie
de
l'atteindre,
mais
je
retombe
au
sol
A-bomb
in
Wardour
Street
Une
bombe
A
dans
Wardour
Street
It′s
blown
up
the
West
End
Elle
a
fait
sauter
le

Now
it's
spreading
through
the
city
Maintenant,
elle
se
répand
dans

Elle

Now
it's
spreading
through
the
country
Maintenant,
elle
se
répand
dans
le
pays
Law
and
order
take
a
turn
for
the
worst
La
loi
et
l'ordre
prennent
un
mauvais
tournant
In
the
shape
of
a
size
10
boot
Sous
la
forme
d'une
botte
taille
10
Rape
and
murder
throughout
the
land
Viol
et
meurtre
dans
tout
le
pays
And
they
tell
you
that
you're
still
a
free
man
Et
ils
te
disent
que
tu
es
toujours
un
homme
libre
If
this
is
freedom
I
don′t
understand
Si
c'est
la
liberté,
je
ne
comprends
pas
′Cause
it
seems
like
madness
to
me
Parce
que
ça
me
semble
de
la
folie
A-bomb
