C'est Le Bon

(albüm: ...Famous Last Words... - 1982)

I never knew what a man was supposed to be
I never wanted the responsibility
I still remember what they tried to make of me
They used to wonder why they couldn't get through to me
'Cause all that I had was this music
A-coming to me
And all that I had was this rhythm
A-running through me

I took a tip from the man in the ministry
He said, "My son, better work in the factory."
Well, there were days I can tell you quite honestly
I saw myself winding up in the military
So lucky to have all this music
A-coming to me
I'm lucky to have all this rhythm
A-running through me
I'm watching the movie go down
Around, about me
I'm watching the merry-go-round
Go down, about me

I said, "Lovers, you're needed in the garden
'Cause there's a lot of crazy people
Who've forgotten where their heart is
And they don't give a damn
About hurting those flowers and those trees."

C'est le bon, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, sailing on and on

Sometimes I wonder where my life is taking me
Sometimes I wonder what they all expect of me
Well, there are days I can tell you quite honestly
I see myself ending up in the monastery
'Cause all that I have is this music
A-coming to me
And all that I have is this rhythm
A-running through me
I'm watching the movie go down
Around, about me
I'm watching the merry-go-round
Go down, about me

I said, "Lovers, you're needed in the garden
'Cause there's a lot of crazy people
Who've forgotten where their heart is
And they don't give a damn
About hurting that small child in me."

C'est le bon, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, sailing on and on
