Young Lily and Uncle Mick

Je n'ai rien de spécial à dire sur Lily Allen, à part qu'elle est jolie. Voilà en tout cas une très bonne version de "Straight to hell" des Clash produite par le guitariste du groupe en personne, Mick Jones. Comme son ex-comparse, Joe Strummer, ne cessait de le dire, c'est un grand arrangeur, et la fièvre délicate et mélancolique qui sous-tend le morceau le prouve. Les paroles. Je ne les comprends pas vraiment mais je les trouve belles, je les ajoute donc. Straight to hell boys ? Straight to hell...


If you can play on the fiddle
Hows about a british jig and reel?
Speaking kings english in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust
water froze
In the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise

There ain't no need for yah
There ain't no need for yah
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys

Ywanna join in a chorus
Of the amerasian blues?
When its Christmas out in ho chi minh city
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa-san take me home
See me got photo photo
Photograph of you and
Mamma mamma mamma-san
Of you and mamma mamma mamma-san
Lemme tell ya bout your blood bamboo kid.
It aint coca-cola its rice.

Go straight to hell boys (go)
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys

Oh papa-san, please take me home
Oh papa-san, Everybody they wanna go home
So mamma-san says

(So mamma-san says)(So mamma-san says)
(So mamma-san says)(So mamma-san says)

You wanna play mind-crazed banjo
On the druggy-drag ragtime u.s.a.?
In parkland international
Hah! junkiedom u.s.a.
Where procaine proves the purest rock man groove
And rat poison
The volatile molatov says-

Go straight to hell
(Go straight to hell..)

Can you cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants
They wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
Its No mans land
there aint no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived round here

Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys

Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys

Go straight to hell
