I Am The Blues

I Am The Blues
Sung by Johnny Hallyday
From the album “Le Coeur D’un Homme”
Released 11-6-07
Written by Bono

A long black car through the empty park
(Feel (fail) like a rainbow in the dark
I gotta million dollars and a broken heart
Someone other could use

They know my name, the thieves and louts
They got no soul, just ? and ?
And you’re not even as old as my tattoos
I am the blues, I am the blues

I talk real sweet, I talk real slow
I’m the voice you’ve loved on the radio
(A pirate with a place to go) ?
(Let’s stop next place)? get bought and sold

He helps me help me realize
I just walked out the door of my own life
(?)Only do it hold and break and blue
I am the blues
Oh, I am the blues

I’m as blue as the Cote d’Azur
And both of us are not so pure
Do I still belong to her
Dites-moi, dites-moi, I came too
I am the blues

Running through the cracks
The ? different tacks
Getting up the backs
Of the music halls hacks..?

I stood up to dance
I lost my balance
But my faithful friends
Some things you can’t lose
I am the blues
Oh, I am the blues
I am the blues
I am the blues
I am the blues

Oh, I am the blues…
I am the blues
I am the blues
I …am the blues
I am the blues
I am the blues
I am the blues
I am the blues

Arg...sung in English with a heavy French accent...
A lot of question marks.

Thanks to angelfish23 for the mp3.

Thanks for the transcript.  I'm waiting for this track to pop up on 7digital or something.  I don't think I can justify paying the import price for the CD.

Hmmm...is this legal???

[Brad]

Probably not.

They require a $25 minimum to open an account.  I think I'll give 7digital a few more weeks and see if it turns up.

At any rate, thanks for the link.

Anyone else get to listen to this?
