When I met you,
I didn’t know what to do. I was tired,
I was hungry,
I fight.
Now I’m away,
I write home everyday and I see you on the TV at night.
(Chorus)
You can see that life’s for us to talk about.
You can leave whenever you want out.
Whoa. You don’t relate to me,
no girl,
you don’t respect me,
no girl,
no [...]

firefly/lightning bug = luciole
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
‘Cause they’d fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You’d think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay
Awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause [...]

This song has become famous again, I think it’s the theme music to ‘Les Experts – Miami’
to fool = tromper/duper
to fool around : faire le fou/l’endouille
We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all [...]

I’m sitting here in the boring room
It’s just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I’m wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I’m hanging around
I’m waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I’m driving around in my car
I’m driving too fast
I’m driving too far
I’d like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I’m waiting for you
But nothing [...]

Is it really necessary
Every single day
You’re making me more ordinary
And every possible way
This ordinary man is broken
You did it and you don’t even know
You’re leaving me with words unspoken
You better get back because I’m ready for
More than this
Whatever it is
Baby, I hate days like this
Caught in a trap
I cannot get by
Baby I hate days like [...]

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn’t get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.
Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it’s good to be back home
Leave it till [...]

Baby’s good to me you know,
She’s happy as can be you know,
She said so
I’m in love with her and I feel fine
Baby says she’s mine you know,
She tells me all the time you know,
She said so
I’m in love with her and I feel fine
I’m so glad that she’s my little girl
She’s so glad, she’s telling [...]

Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join [...]

Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Think of what you’re saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it’s [...]

“in my life” is one of the best uses of the present perfect: it’s used to talk about experiences:
In my life, I’ve lived in three different countries
In my life, I’ve seen thousands of films
In my life, I’ve had several different jobs
In my life, I’ve written a book
In my life, I’ve worked as a musician
My life [...]

My favourite Robbie Williams song! The video shows typical dream scenarios – mainly about being helpless to do anything – climbing stairs but never reaching the top, hitting someone who doesn’t feel anything, being trapped in a maze etc.
Buy the MP3 (album version) :
Tripping (Album Version)
or a karaoke version :
Tripping (In the Style of Robbie [...]

A song about the massacre of Australian and New Zealand forces at Gallipoli, Turkey in 1916.
When I was a young man I carried my pack
And I lived the free life of a rover
From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback
I waltzed my Matilda all over
Then in nineteen fifteen my country said Son
It’s time to [...]
