Lyrics and translation The Jam - Eton Rifles (Peel Session, 1979)




Eton Rifles (Peel Session, 1979)
Eton Rifles (Peel Session, 1979)
Sup up your beer and collect your fags -
Remplis ton verre de bière et prends tes cigarettes -
There′s a row going on down near Slough
Il y a une bagarre qui se déroule près de Slough
Get out your mat and pray to the West
Sors ton tapis et prie l'Ouest
I'll get out mine and pray for myself
Je sortirai le mien et prierai pour moi-même
Thought you were smart when you took them on
Tu te croyais intelligent quand tu les as affrontés
But you didn′t take a peep in their artillery room
Mais tu n'as pas jeté un coup d'œil dans leur arsenal
All that rugby puts hairs on your chest
Tout ce rugby te fait pousser des poils sur la poitrine
What chance have you got against a tie and a crest?
Quelles chances as-tu contre une cravate et un blason ?
Hello-Hurray - what a nice day for the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Bonjour-Hourra - quelle belle journée pour les Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Hello-Hurray - I hope rain stops play for the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Bonjour-Hourra - j'espère que la pluie arrêtera le jeu pour les Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Thought you were clever when you lit the fuse
Tu te croyais malin quand tu as allumé la mèche
Tore down the house of commons in your brand new shoes
Tu as démoli la Chambre des communes avec tes nouvelles chaussures
Composed a revolutionary symphony
Tu as composé une symphonie révolutionnaire
Then went to bed with a charming young thing
Puis tu es allé te coucher avec une charmante jeune fille
Hello-Hurray - cheers then, mate. It's the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Bonjour-Hourra - salutations, mon pote. Ce sont les Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Hello-Hurray - an extremist scrape with the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Bonjour-Hourra - un affrontement extrémiste avec les Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
What a catalyst you turned out to be
Quel catalyseur tu es devenu
Loaded the guns, then you run off home for your tea -
Tu as chargé les armes, puis tu es rentré chez toi pour prendre le thé -
Left me standing like a guilty schoolboy
Tu m'as laissé là, debout comme un écolier coupable
What a catalyst you turned out to be
Quel catalyseur tu es devenu
Loaded the guns, then you run off home for your tea -
Tu as chargé les armes, puis tu es rentré chez toi pour prendre le thé -
Left me standing like a naughty schoolboy
Tu m'as laissé là, debout comme un écolier espiègle
We came out of it naturally the worst
Nous en sommes sortis naturellement les pires
Beaten and bloody, and I was sick down my shirt
Battus et ensanglantés, et j'ai vomi sur ma chemise
We were no match for their untamed wit
Nous n'étions pas à la hauteur de leur esprit sauvage
Though some of the lads said they'd be back next week
Bien que certains des gars aient dit qu'ils seraient de retour la semaine prochaine
Hello-Hurray - it′s the price to pay to the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Bonjour-Hourra - c'est le prix à payer aux Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Hello-Hurray - I′d prefer the plague to the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Bonjour-Hourra - je préférerais la peste aux Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Hello-Hurray - it's the price to pay to the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Bonjour-Hourra - c'est le prix à payer aux Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Hello-Hurray - I′d prefer the plague to the Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Bonjour-Hourra - je préférerais la peste aux Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles
Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles!
Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles !
Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles!
Eton Rifles, Eton Rifles !
