lyrics

Lyrics

Fats was a friend of mine
Until I left to live in the west
Not everything was fine
But I was told it was for the best

Then I went to the war
And didn’t know what I had to do
What I was fighting for
And why my friends were feeling so blue

And for a couple of years
I earned my life hitting the ring
That was the early 50s
And God knows I enjoyed boxing

But time went passing by
And selling cars was much more secure
Even if I can’t deny
I loved playing the Clash concert tour

Have you heard of this song
‘Ya Ya’
Released in ‘61
‘Ya Ya’
Got all kinds of awards
‘Ya Ya’
Nearly made me famous
‘Ya Ya’
Over a million copies
‘Ya Ya’
That was back in the days
‘Ya Ya’

ils nous transmettent leur contradiction entre l'urgence rock & rollesque et celle de donner du sens à notre vie, de ne pas perdre son temps à la gagner. ... more
