EN DEUX MOTS


Cet album représente un moment unique dans le carrière discographique des Ramones, puisqu'il est uniquement constitué de reprises. Jefferson Airplane, Love, Ted Nugent ou encore les Who sont à l'affiche de ce 13ème album des new-yorkais. Malheureusement, l'énergie brute qui faisait tout le charme des Ramones est ici effacée au profit d'une production léchée et d'une utilisation plus importante et pas forcément justifié du synthétiseur et autres bidouillages.
PAROLES

 
Journey to the center of the mind

Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

Beyond the seas of thought
Beyone the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

But please realise
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back

Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see
How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind



Substitute

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather

Well, I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done

Well, I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack



Out of time

You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are left out
Out of there, baby, out of doubt
'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back, be the first in line, oh no
You're obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are left out
Out of there, baby, out of doubt
'cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are left out, yes you are
I said, you're out of there, baby, out of doubt
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time



The shape of things to come

There's a new sun
Risin' up angry in the sky
And there's a new voice
Cryin' "We're not afraid to die."
Let the old world make believe
It's blind and deaf and dumb
But nothing can change the shape of things to come

There are changes
Lyin' ahead in every road
And there are new thoughts
Ready and waiting to explode
When tomorrow is today
The bell may toll for some
But nothing can change the shape of things to come

The future's comin' in, now
Sweet and strong
Ain't no-one to hold it back for long

There are new dreams
Crowdin' out old reality
There's revolution
Sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze
Let the old world make believe
It's blind and deaf and dumb
But nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things to come



Somebody to love

When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joys within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

When the garden flowers, baby, are dead, yes
And your mind is full of red
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Your eyes, I say, your eyes, baby, look like his, yeah
But in your head baby i'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love

Tears are running, up and down your breast
And your friends baby they treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love



When I was young

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young

I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls I had a that yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young

When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful and laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young

I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown, and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young
When I was young

When I was young it was more important
Pain more painful and laughter much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young

My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young
When I was young



7 and 7 is

When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend I was in a can
In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
You can throw me if you wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go
Oop-ip-ip, oop-ip-ip, yeah!

If I don't start cryin' it's because I have got no eyes
My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go
Oop-ip-ip, oop-ip-ip, yeah!

One... Two... Three... Four!



My back pages

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," Said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundation deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing that I'd become my enemy
In the instance that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now

Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now
I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now



Can't seem to make you mine

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
You're flyin' around like a bee
Hurtin' everything you see
I tried everything I know
To make you wanna love me so
The only thing you do
Is try to put the hurt on me

Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with a misery
With every breath and step I take
I'm more in love with you

I can't go on like this
A little bit of love, not one kiss
I gotta have your love everyday
A love that's real that will stay

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine

Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with a misery
With every breath and step I take
I'm more in love with you

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Come back, baby, to me
In My Misery
I give you love, not any day
Never ever go away
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine



Have you ever seen the rain

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm,
I know, it's been comin' for some time

When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day,
I know, shinin' down like water

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day

Yesterday, and days before,
Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know, been that way for all my time

'til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know, it can't stop, I wonder

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day

Yeah!

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm,
I know, been that way for all my time

When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day,
I know, shinin' down like water

I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
Comin' down on a sunny day



I can't control myself

I can't stand still cause you've got me goin'
Your slacks are low and your hips are showin'
I take you girl as you're standin' there
Your low cut slacks and your long black hair
Don't want you goin' round with no one else
'cause when I'm with you I can't control myself

Defenses down and you got me shakin'
You got me so that my nerves are breakin'
If you knew me like I know you girl
Your knees would bend and your hair would curl
You make me move yea like no one else
'cause when I'm with you I can't control myself

I've got this feeling that's inside of me
It makes me think of how things used to be
It makes me feel alright
When I'm with you at night and we love
And we love

You thrill me so with this big temptation
This kind of feelin' could move a nation
And I'm okay when I'm here with you
I do the things that you want me to
I do these things for no one else
'cause when I'm with you I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself
I can't control myself, baby



Surf City

I bought a '34 wagon and I call it a Woody
Surf City here we come
You know its not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goodie
Surf City here we come
Well it ain't got a back seat ot a rear window
But it still gets me where I want to go.

Yeah we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun
You know we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun now

They say they never roll the streets up 'cause there's always something goin'
Surf City here we come
You know they're either out surfin' or they got a party growin'
Surf City here we come
Well there's two swingin' honeys for every guy
And all you gotta do is just wink your eye

Yeah we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun
You know we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun
You know we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one now

And if my Woody breaks down on me somewhere on the surf route
Surf City here we come
I'll strap my board to my back and hitch a ride in my wet suit
Surf City here we come
And when I get to Surf City I'll be shootin' the curl
And checkin' out the parties for that surfer girl

Yeah we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun
You know we're going to Surf City 'cause it's two to one
You know we're going to Surf City gonna have some fun now
