lyrics

THE SADDEST SONG

We’re talking about a young Dubliner
In love with a girl from New-York City
Don’t ask me how they met each other
It’s not the subject of the story

He’s working in a bar night and day
Dreaming of a flight over the Atlantique
But he doesn’t have any money
His situation is really tragic

It’s sad so sad
It’s a sad sad song
Never ever written and sung
It’s the saddest song

They send to each other SMS
Few words for such a big feeling
Their only moment of happiness
Is when the telephone rings a little ding

They got some pictures of themselves
Cheek to cheek on a sunny day
Placed in the middle of the bookshelves
Under a light which is cold and grey

It’s sad so sad….

Someday I guess he will start to feel
Lonely as a broken heart can be
Living with so much time to kill
Can drive you completely crazy

So he will connect his computer
On a web site on which you can chat
With a girl from Patagonia or somewhere
With whom he’ll fall in love in second flat

It’s sad so sad….

Une certaine idée du bonheur...
