Oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
ย
Ses doigts longs et rapides couraient sur sa guitare
Ses riffs comme des fluides transperรงaient le brouillard
Puis la lumiรจre dorรฉe du soleil de Negri
Planait sur la fumรฉe en petites notes agiles
ย
Ses textes รฉtaient prรฉcis et bourrรฉs d'humour noir
C'รฉtait donc mon ami depuis ce fameux soir
Melody, tempo harmony
I'll do it for me
To be new myself
Melody, tempo harmony (tempo harmony)
Guitar base for me
Lead and back vocals
J'รฉtais noir moi aussi mais pour d'autres raisons
J'avais passรฉ dix ans ร dormir en prison
C'รฉtait une drรดle d'affaire pleine de coups d'escopette
De transporteurs de fonds et puis de grosse galette
ย
(Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)
Melody (uh melody)
Tempo harmony (tempo harmony)
I'll do it for me (I'll do it for me)
To be new myself
Melody (melody)
Tempo harmony (tempo harmony)
Guitar base for me
Lead and back vocals
Well in life my son you have two choices
You find black and white in these categories
Police didn't like my sarcastic lyrics
Bye bye big money et fini la musique
ย
(Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)
Melody, tempo harmony
I'll do it for me
To be new myself
Melody, tempo harmony (tempo harmony)
Guitar base for me
Lead and back vocals
Melody (uh melody)
Tempo harmony (tempo harmony)
I'll do it for me
To be new myself
Melody, tempo harmony (tempo harmony)
Guitar base for me
