...Famous Last
Words... (1982)
C'est le Bon
I never knew what a
man was supposed to
be
I never wanted the
responsibility
I still remember
what they tried to
make of me
They used to wonder
why they couldn't
get through to me
But all 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 in 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,
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 those
flowers and those
trees"
C'est le bon,
sailing on and on
C'est le bon,
sailing on and on
C'est le bon,
sailing on and on
C'est le bon, bon,
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 were
days, I can tell you
quite honestly
I've seen myself
ending up in the
monastery
'Cause all 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 the
small child in me"
C'est le bon,
sailing on and on
C'est le bon,
sailing on and on
C'est le bon,
sailing on and on
C'est le bon, bon,
bon, sailing on and
on
C'est le bon, oh,
sailing on and on
C'est le bon,
oh, sailing on and on
C'est le bon, c'est
le bon, go sailing
on and on
C'est le bon, bon,
bon, sailing on and
on
