Cambodia (1981)

Lyrics

Well he was Thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn’t wonder then
She didn’t think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn’t say too much
But it would be alright
He didn’t need to pack
They’d meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to Cambodia

And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she’ll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn’t make it out
Just couldn’t take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
Ans as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside Cambodia

But then a call came through
They said he’d soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia – Don’t cry now – No tears now

And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won’t see his face again

You Keep Me Hangin’ On (1986)

Lyrics

Set me free why don’t cha babe
Get out of my life why don’t cha babe
’cause you don’t really love me
You just keep me hangin’on

Set me free why don’t cha babe
Get out of my life why don’t cha babe
You don’t really need me
But you keep me hangin’on

Why do you keep a comin’ around
Playing with my heart
Why don’t cha get out of my life
And let me make a brand new start
Let me get over you
The way you’ve gotten over me yeah

You say although we broke up
You still just wanna be friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again

Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
‘Cos you don’t really love me
You just keep me hangin’on

You say you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
And now that you’ve got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don’t want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else

Why don’t cha be a man about it and set me free
Now you don’t care a thing about me
You’re just using me – Hey, abusing me
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
‘Cos you don’t really love me
You just keep me hangin’on
You don’t really need me
You just keep me – hangin’on

Kids in America (1981)

Lyrics

Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the city go rushing by
I sit here alone and I wonder why

Friday night and everyone’s moving
I can feel the heat but it’s soothing, heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town

Downtown the young ones are going
Downtown the young ones are growing
We’re the kids in America (Whoa)
We’re the kids in America (Whoa)
Everybody live for the music-go-round

Bright lights, the music gets faster
Look, boy, don’t check on your watch, not another glance
I’m not leaving now, honey, not a chance

Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later, baby, you’ll be saying nevermind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind

Kind hearts don’t make a new story
Kind hearts don’t grab any glory
We’re the kids in America (Whoa)
We’re the kids in America (Whoa)
Everybody live for the music-go-round

La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la (Sing)
La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la

Come closer, honey, that’s better
Got to get a brand new experience, feeling right
Oh, don’t try to stop, baby, hold me tight

Outside a new day is dawning
Outside suburbia’s sprawling everywhere
I don’t want to go, baby

New York to east California
There’s a new wave coming, I warn ya
We’re the kids in America (Whoa)
We’re the kids in America (Whoa)
Everybody lives for the music-go-round

La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la (Sing)
La la la la-la la-a
La la la la-la la

We’re the kids
We’re the kids
We’re the kids in America
We’re the kids
We’re the kids
We’re the kids in America
We’re the kids
We’re the kids
We’re the kids in America

Ah l’envoutante Kim Wilde, l’un des modèles féminins de ma pré-adolescence

Elle en a fasciné plus d’un, même Laurent Voulzy a craqué !

Laurent Voulzy – « Les Nuits Sans Kim Wilde » (1985)

Lyrics

Les nuits sans Kim Wilde
Je m’ennuie souvent
Des fois je me ballade
Ça dépend
Je passe des scopitones
Des chanteurs sur films
Mais les frères Jackson
C’est pas Kim
Oh oh oh oh oh les nuits sans Kim Wilde
Oh oh oh oh oh les nuits sans Kim Wilde
Sur mon flipper’noir
Où tout seul je frime
L’effigie de ma rock star
M’assassine
Allez play the game, shoot again, start again
Oh oh oh oh oh
Je dépense mon énergie
A oublier la nuit
Take it easy, easy
Take it easy, easy
Oh quelle étrange affaire
Dans mon cœur ce mystère
Kim Wilde
J’ai des amoureuses
Au visage parfait
Qui s’endorment heureuses
Oui mais
Les nuits sans Kim Wilde
Sont beaucoup moins belles
Que dancing que dancing
In the dark avec elle
Oh oh…
