Cheese Tax (Ska Cover) - Ian Martyn

Depuis que j'suis p'tit Je n'ai rien compris Même si mes yeux me piquent, je vois Je les ferme et prie Et demande si il lui pique des fois Même si les dieux n'existent pas J'les ai confondus avec leurs semblables Au costard-cravate, ces marchands de sable Qui promettent la lune Sans connaître la terre Qui s'appellent adultes Mais si terre à terre Je souris Je sourirai J'ai souris Ils ont cru que je riais Mais c'est même pas vrai Madame l'a dit, elle, "il faut être poli" Vas-y, dis cheese Allez, dis cheese Pour le cliché Un peu pour se cacher Mais sans humour noir Ou mauvais jeux de mots J'vais mourir de rire moi Mais sans sourire jaune Juste quand j'ai mal alors Pour que ça passe, d'accord Mais rien que pour ça, que cette fois pour célébrer les morts Je souris Je sourirai J'ai souris Je sourirai Je souris Je sourirai J'ai souris Je sourirai Je souris Je sourirai J'ai souris Je sourirai

Time after time, I held it just to watch it die Line after line, I loved it just to watch it cry Bless the weather that brought you to me Curse the storm that takes you away Bless the weather that brought you to me Curse the storm that takes you home Wave after wave, I washed it just to watch it turn Day after day, I cooled it just to watch it burn Bless the weather that brought you to me Curse the storm that takes you home Bless the weather that brought you to me Curse the storm that takes you away Pain after pain, I stood it just to see how it feels Rain after rain, I stood it just to make it real Bless the weather that brought you to me Curse the day you go away Bless the weather that brought you to me Curse the storm that takes you away Time after time, I held it just to watch it die Line after line, I loved it just to watch it cry Bless the weather that brought you to me Curse the storm that takes you away Bless the weather that brought you to me Curse the storm that takes you away

Lost my time lost my place in Sky blue Those two blue eyes light your face in Sky blue I know how to fly, i know how to drown in Sky blue Warm wind blowing over the earth Sky blue I sing through the land, the land sings through me Sky blue Reaching into the deepest shade of Sky blue Sky blue so tired of all this travelling So many miles away from home I keep moving to be stable Free to wander, free to roam Train pulled out said my goodbyes Sky blue Back on the road alone with the sky Sky blue There's a presence here no one denies Sky blue Sky blue so tired of all this travelling So many miles away from home I keep moving to be stable Free to wander, free to roam I can hear the same voice calling Crying out, from my heart And that cry, what a cry What a cry, it's going to be If i can stop to let it out, oh.
