Lyrics
Il a pris le train postal juste avant la nuit
À Valence il est mécano
Demain matin faut qu'il soit sans faute à Paris
Et tant pis pour le boulot
Ça fait des mois déjà qu'il regarde son billet
Son patron l'a laissé filer
Et personne aurait pu l'empêcher
Sur son bras c'est tatoué
Rossi, ses mots, et ses solos et Parfitt et sa caster
Les riffs à fond, le son go go
Le boogie woogie la tête à l'envers
Il a pris le train postal juste avant la nuit
Il en rêve au rythme des rails
Oh demain c'est la nuit de sa vie
The quo's in town tonite
Quand il arrive devant la salle il est midi
Y a déjà des gars qu'il connaît
Les cheveux longs, les jeans délavés comme lui
De partout, même un Japonais
C'est l'attente, on cause, on fume en buvant des bières
Quand ils répètent on les entend
Et quand s'écarteront les barrières
Il va courir au premier rang
Pour Rossi ses mots, ses solos, et Parfitt et sa caster
Les riffs à fond, le son go go
Le boogie woogie la tête à l'envers
Plus que 2 heures encore, 2 heures à tirer
Et tout est prêt pour la bataille
Un accord et tout va sauter
The quo's in town tonite
C'est parti, ça l'prend partout de bas en haut
Ça l'secoue jusqu'à la folie
La basse au ventre et les grattes dans la peau
Ils sont à 2 mètres de lui
Et quand vient "down down" c'est sa préférée
Si l'batteur tombe ou va pisser
Y a pas d'malaise pour l'rempacer :
Il la connaît les yeux fermés
Rossi ses mots, ses solos, et Parfitt et sa caster
Les riffs à fond, le son go go
Le boogie woogie la tête à l'envers
Le paradis c'est ici, c'est l'enfer !
C'est les flammes au fond des entrailles
Y a rien qui ressemble à ses concerts
The quo's in town tonite
Et ça fait si vide après
Quand la vraie vie revient
Quand on les a vu saluer
Et qu'il faut reprendre son train
Mais cet été
Ils vont jouer dans les festivals
Il ira pendant ses congés
En Belgique et au Pays de Galles
The quo's in town tonite
Lyrics translation
He took the mail train just before the night In Valencia it is a mechanic Tomorrow morning is necessary that he be without fault in Paris And so much the worse for the job It's been months already that he looks at his ticket and His boss was let out And nobody would have been able to prevent On his arm is tattooed Rossi, his words, and his solos and Parfitt and his caster The riffs at the bottom, the its go go boogie woogie head upside down He took the mail train just before the night He in a dream to the rhythm of the rails Oh tomorrow is the night of his life The quo's in town tonite When he arrives in front of the room it is noon already guys he knows long hair, jeans, faded like him everywhere, even a Japanese, It is the expectation, because, smoking drinking beer When they repeat it hear And when will the barriers He will run in the first rank For Rossi, his words, his solos, and Parfitt and his caster The riffs in the background, the sound gb gb The boogie woogie, the upside-down More than 2 hours, 2 hours to shoot And everything is ready for the battle to An agreement and everything is going to jump The quo's in town tonite It's party, it takes anywhere from low to high It shakes up the madness to The low-to the stomach, and the guitars in the skin They are 2 metres away from him, And when it comes the "down down" is his favorite If the drummer falls out or is going to piss There was no discomfort to the pair : He knows the eyes are closed Rossi, his words, his solos, and Parfitt and his caster The riffs in the background, the sound gb gb The boogie woogie's head towards The paradise it is here, it is the hell !
It's the flames deep inside there's nothing like his concerts the quo's in town tonite and it's so empty after when real life comes back when we saw them greet and we have to get back on his train but this summer they will play in the festivals he will go during his holidays in Belgium and Wales the quo's in town tonite
