I Got The Message
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got the message and the message is clear
I really really really really wish you were here
It was written on the back of a carton d'allumettes
It says i don't really miss you but i haven't tried yet
I got the message & the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et c'est facile a dire and it's easy to say
Well it's mine [they got this thing they call the
Rhythm of life]
Not yours [it says to settle down & get a dog
And a wife]
Get down [and everybody's doing it all over the
Land]
On all fours [et oui je ne comprends pas oh yes i
Don't understand]
It's long [i got the message and the message is
Clear]
And hard [i really really really really wish you
Were here]
This road [it was written on the back of a carton
D'allumettes]
To mars [i don't really miss you but i haven't
Tried yet]
Got a good thing, yeah, got you going
Everybody's moving, watch out it's showing
I have done a good thing i've got you dancing, everybody's happy
I have done a good thing, i've got you moving, everybody's
Dancing
They're really grooving
I have done a good thing don't dansez moderne
Everybody's happy
I got the message and the message is clear
I really really really really wish you were here
It was written on the back of a carton d'allumettes
It says i don't really miss you but i haven't tried yet
I got the message & the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et c'est facile a dire and it's easy to say
C'est mon [they got this thing they call the
Rhythm of life]
C'est toi [it says to settle down & get a dog
And a wife]
C'est nous [and everybody's doing it all over the
Land]
C'est cool [et oui je ne comprends pas oh yes i
Don't understand]
C'est long [i got the message and the message is
Clear]
C'est dur [i really really really really wish you
Were here]
Frappons [it was written on the back of a carton
D'allumettes]
Nos tetes contre les murs
Me, you, us cool, long, hard, hit our heads against the wall
[i don't really miss you but i haven't
Tried yet]
I got a good thing yeah, got you going
Everybody's moving, it's really showing
I have done a good thing i've got you dancing, everybody's happy
I have done a good thing, i've got you moving, everybody's
Dancing,
It's really groovy
I have done a good thing, don't dansez moderne
And everybody's happy
I got the message and the message is clear
I really really really really wish you were here
It was written on the back of a carton d'allumettes
It says i don't really miss you but i haven't tried yet
I got the message & the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et c'est facile a dire and it's easy to say
