L'Aube Verte - "Laugh Charlie Laugh" 2011, All Rights Reserved Lyrics: Something to get started right from where you were told you'd get to, or lacked the strength, been out of breath but now you get it, that what it counts is to run faster and to slap the wind's face that throws you back you've climbed all the rocks, dropped all the pebbles sucked into the abyss beneath your feet and still nerves that pull, muscles pulsing blood, they know it's not over got on the train that was to take you away, your ticket's gripped in your sweaty hand, through the window a streak of light whips your eyes and the other train screams and devours the rails from the opposite side. God knows I'm tired, dust at your feet, the soil underfoot and the landslide that makes you slide down the slope hear some music from the distance seems like there's people down in the village dancing to the sound of an accordion they're having fun. My memory runs, I'm young and happy, jumping like an unripe animal in the mountains the cold air bites, I'm scared and oblivious, am learning to fly now we've got to go already, there's no time to look back and these clowns who smile at you, waving their hands are a fancy world where you don't belong. And laugh Charlie laugh. Les gens qui s'amusent sont si drôles. Quickly stepping through bridges and buildings the impression of the news of a murder fades into the steam of your breath on the bar window, and you're out already, seen Barcelona, suitcase ready to New York, the bus slashes the colonnade, makes it whistle. Do you think one day it could even happen? That you find yourself among strangers who take you in a circling dance and not even wondering why, you're moving with them, feeling good. In the evening you go out dressed so fresh, your girlfriend's just a distant voice from the mobile phone, at eight p.m. in your hotel room you're getting ready for the cocktail party there you are, the beaumonde with blinding white teeth embrace you into their smiles and tell you to stay because the hour on the horizon is so red and hot you know, we'll have fun meanwhile I've already made a way out from which I'll flee. And you laugh Charlie laugh. Les gens qui s'amusent sont si drôles.
