I NEVER KNEW WHAT A MAN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
I NEVER WANTED THE RESPONSABILITY
I STILL REMEMBER WHAT THEY TRIED TO MAKE OF ME
THEY USED TO WONDER WHY
THEY COULDN'T GET THROUGH 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 FROM 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
GO DOWN ABOUT ME
I'M WATCHING THE MERRY-GO ROUND
GO DOWN ABOUT ME
I SAW 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...
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...
