Seul
Sous un ciel minéral
Seul
Dans le règne animal
J'peux vraiment plus choisir entre le bien, le mal
Au bord du précipice je vais mal, je vais mal
Je vais mal
Couché sur le côté dans un hôtel sordide
Le mythe du rock'n'roll me prend comme un bolide
Des guitares déchirées, vestiaire puant la sueur
Poème carbonisé, un monde suant la peur, sueur la peur
J'suis en état d'urgence
Seul dans la lumière blance
Malgré les apparences
Tu sais la différence
J'suis en état d'urgence
Passez le miroir
Troublants de désespoir
Plus loin à quelques blocs, au fond d'un entrepôt
Le grand marché aux gays, aux confins du Soho
Enchaînés dans des cages et vendus chaque nuit
Conduits par un nabot aux ongles noirs vernis, sans un cri
Des sexes désossés, du sang et de l'éther
Hommes de cuir clouté, sur des chaînes de fer
Dans le brouillard glacé, tout près de la rivière
Où rôdent les truckers et leur peinture de guerre, c'est la guerre
J'suis en état d'urgence
Seul dans la lumière blance
Malgré les apparences
Tu sais la différence
J'suis en état d'urgence
Passez le miroir
Troublants de désespoir
Seul
Jusqu'au bout de l'enfer
Seul
Au-dessus des cartères
J'ai perdu mes racines et je cherche mes mots
Broyé par la machine aux confins du Soho, de Soho, de Soho
Je vais dormir enfin dans un hôtel sordide
J'ai passé la journée à choisir le calibre
Mon cerveau déchiré va retrouver la peur
Poème carbonisé ne permet plus d'erreur, plus d'erreur
J'suis en état d'urgence
Seul dans la lumière blance
Malgré les apparences
Tu sais la différence
J'suis en état d'urgence...
Bernard Lavilliers is a French singer-songwriter born in Saint-Étienne in 1946. Coming from a modest family, he developed a passion for music at the age of four. After working in a factory, he joined the Communist Party to defend his ideals and in 1965 left for Brazil, an experience that deeply marked his worldview. His return to France led him to be considered a draft dodger and imprisoned for a year. He began singing in cabarets and in 1967 released his first single. In 1968 he released his first album, simply titled "Lavilliers", which later became his stage name. Throughout the 1970s, he achieved success with albums such as "Les poètes" (1972), "Le Stéphanois" (1975) and especially "Les Barbares" (1976). The latter consecrated him as one of the most important French singer-songwriters. Lavilliers is known for his songs that often deal with social, political and travel themes. Among his most representative tracks are "Le Grand Bleu", "La Ballade de la rue des Amants" and "Les Barbares". In 1992 he sang alongside Léo Ferré at the fête de l'Humanité. In 2004 he released the album "Carnets de bord", an ode to travel, and in 2005 the book 'Bernard Lavilliers, Escales' by Gert-Peter Bruch was published.
