| 01. Good Time Boys |
|
Hey yeah!
Yo!
Oh, oh
Indeed it may seem that we have strange ways
But we do it with compassion and don't believe in age
Travel around the world gettin' naked on the stage
Bustin' people out of their everyday cage
We like to think we make a sad man happy
And we like to make proud our mammy and pappy
Funky young kings we sing of truth and soul
We're the modern day braves with one strong hold
Through the world of song our boldness is exposed
I'm talking about my buddy's funk it up Fishbone
Hay yeah!
Good, good time boys make me feel good
Give me good times yeah yeah yeah yeah
(x2)
Our devotion to emotion is more than evident
To the minds that are open it's you we represent
We hope you have enjoyed the time that you have spent
One day the good time boys might just be President
Like a pack of mad hatters who come from outer space
Our swinging's gonna shatter every stone cold face
Now you may not know the exact reason why
A band commands attention from the moutains and the sky
Making more that money more than money can buy
I stop and take a listen to the Monsters try
Good, good time boys make me feel good
Give me good times yeah yeah yeah yeah
(x2)
Wow!
If you don't believe me you can ask John Doe
Cause his heart is made of glory and his voice is made of gold
He'll tell you in a minute about the men he knows
He'll tell you about the band called Fire Hose
To those of you who doubt the nature of our spirit
We play it out loud for everyone to hear it
Building up our brains with the supernatural powers
We take it from the trees and the mighty watts towers
Aim the flame of freedom at the lames and sours
We're the best of the West and the West is ours
Good, good time boys make me feel good
Give me good times yeah yeah yeah yeah

People keep on learnin'
Soldiers keep on warrin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Powers keep on lyin'
While your people keep on dyin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach the highest ground
Teachers keep on teachin'
Preachers keep on preachin'
World keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no
Lovers keep on lovin'
While believers keep on believin'
Sleepers just stop sleepin'
Cause it won't be too long
Oh no
I'm so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
Till I reach the highest ground
And Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
Till I reach the highest ground
Cause me and Stevie, see, we're gonna be sailin' on the fucking funky sound
Till I reach the highest ground
Bustin' out and I'll break you out,
Cause I'm sailin' on
Till I reach the highest ground
Just, uh, sailin' on sailin' on the higher ground
Till I reach the highest ground

Un Esprit Plus Évolué
Peuple, continue d'apprendre
Soldats, continuez de faire la guerre
Monde, continue de tourner
Car cela ne durera plus tres longtemps
Pouvoirs, continuez de mentir
Pendant que votre peuple continue de mourir
Monde, continue de tourner
'Car cela ne durera plus tres longtemps
[Refrain]
Bon sang ce que je suis content qu'il m'ait permis de retenter ma chance
Car à mon dernier passage sur terre, j'ai vécu dans un monde de péchés
Je suis si content d'en savoir plus que je n'en savais à cette époque là
J'vais continuer d'essayer
Jusqu' à ce que j'atteigne la forme d' ésprit la plus évoluée
Enseignants, continuez d'enseigner
Prêcheurs, continuez de prêcher
Monde, continue de tourner
Car cela ne durera plus tres longtemps
Oh, non
Amants, continuez d aimer
Pendant que les croyants, continuent de croire
Dormeurs, arrêtez de dormir
Car cela ne durera plus tres longtemps
Oh, non
[Refrain]...
(voix parlée) Et Stevie sait que, uh, personne ne me fera baisser les bras
(jusqu' à ce que j'atteigne la forme d' ésprit la plus évoluée)
(voix parlée) Car moi et Stevie, tu voix, on va naviguer sur le son Funky
(jusqu' à ce que j'atteigne la forme d' ésprit la plus évoluée)
(voix parlée) On s'engueule et je romprai, car je navigue sur
(jusqu' à ce que j'atteigne la forme d' esprit la plus évoluée)
(voix parlée) Uh, je navigue, je navigue sur la forme d' esprit la plus évoluée
(jusqu' à ce que j'atteigne la forme d' ésprit la plus évoluée)

| 03. Subway To Venus |
|
Step right up and listen please
You're gonna get it with the greatest of ease
Well, everybody gather around all aboard the underground
You've got to get in before you get out
And gettin' out is what it's gonna be about
Well, If you find that you are blind
Open up your bashful mind
Let my band step inside
And take you on a cosmic ride
Let my band step inside
And take you on a cosmic ride
With honest sounds I'll paint your brain
For in this song I do proclaim
That once aboard this moving train
I'll do my best to ease your pain
Slinky as my speech may be
On this trip you'll ride for free
As we leave our trailer spots
Well, outer space is lots of dots
This axis bold as love you see comes and goes so easily
This axis bold as love you see comes and goes so easily
Space is king or so I sing, subway to Venus
Space is king or so I sing, subway to Venus
Once aboard and feeling smooth
Like a liquid you will ooze
Into a state of mind that soothes
Aw be my guest inside my groove
Cause what I've got to give to you
Is gonna make you wanna boogalulu
Is gonna make you wiggle like a wiggley worm
Cause you deserve to wiggle and squirm
Life's too short to be in a hole
So bust into your funkiest stroll
Life's too short to be in a hole
So bust into your funkiest stroll
Space is king or so I sing, subway to Venus
Space is king or so I sing, subway to Venus
Aw !
What I've got to give to you
Is gonna make you wanna boogalulu
Aw, make you wiggle like a wiggley worm
Cause you deserve to wiggle and squirm
Life's too short to be in a hole
So bust into your funkiest stroll
Well, take your body shake it around
And, do the dog on the ground
And if I can't make you dance
I guess I'll just have to make you piss your pants
Space is king or so I sing, subway to Venus (x3)
Space is king or - oh-oh - so I sing, subway to Venus

Redresse-toi et écoute-moi s’il te plait
On va le faire avec une facilité déconcertante
Bien ,tout le monde dois se réunir autour du métro, en voiture
Tu dois absolument y entrer pour pouvoir en sortir
Et en sortir, c’est notre veux le plus cher
Bien, si tu trouves que tu es aveugle
Ouvre ton nous ton esprit
Et laisse-nous, moi et mon groupe y entrer
Et t’emmener vers des lieux cosmiques
Laisse-nous, moi et mon groupe y entrer
T’emmener vers des lieux cosmiques
Je peindrais ton cerveau avec nos chansons honnêtes
Mais pour cette chanson je dois proclamer
Que une fois à bord ce train mouvant
Je ferai de mon mieux pour calmer ta douleur
Comme mon discours peut être un peu lourd
Tu ne payeras rien pour ce voyage
Et nous quitterons nos petites caravanes
Bien, dans l’espace il y a beaucoup de points
Cette ligne bondée aime te voir partir et revenir si facilement
Cette ligne bondée aime te voir partir et revenir si facilement
L’espace est roi et je le chante, métro pour Vénus
L’espace est roi et je le chante, métro pour Vénus
Une fois à bord, tu auras comme un sentiment de lisse
Comme si tu étais un liquide, du limon
Dans une réflexion qui te calmera
Aw sois mon invité dans mon groove
Parce que ce que je dois te donner
Va te faire désirer un boogalulu
Va te faire secouer comme un ver de terre
Parce que tu ne mérites que d’être secoué jusqu’à la convulsion
La vie est trop courte pour tomber dans un trou
Ainsi se gâche la plus funky des promenades
La vie est trop courte pour tomber dans un trou
Ainsi se gâche la plus funky des promenades
L’espace est roi et je le chante, métro pour Vénus
L’espace est roi et je le chante, métro pour Vénus
Aw !
Ce que je dois te donner
Devrai te faire désirer un boogalulu
Aw, va te faire secouer comme un ver de terre
Parce que tout ce que tu mérites d’être secoué jusqu’à la convulsion
La vie est trop courte pour tomber dans un trou
Ainsi se gâche la plus funky des promenades

| 04. Magic Johnson |
|
L.A. Lakers fast break makers
Kings of the court shake and bake all takers
Back to back is a bad ass fact
A claim that remains intact
M-A-G-I-C see you on the court
Buck has come to play his way and his way is to thwart
M-A-G-I-C magic of the buck
Other teams pray for dreams
But he don't give a fuck
Penetrating the lane like a bullet train
Comes the magic blood a telepathic brain
Knucklehead suckers better duck
When the buck comes through like a truck
Scott stops pops and drops it in
On his way back gets a little skin
From the hand of a man named A.C. Green
Slam so hard break your TV screen
Worthy's hot with his tomahawk
Take it to the hole make your mamma talk
I hate to burst your bubble but triple double trouble
Is coming to your town and he's going to make rubble
L.A. Lakers fast break makers
Kings of the court shake and bake all takers
Back to back is a bad ass fact
A claim that remains intact
M-A-G-I-C a sea of purple and gold
You can swim but you won't get far so you might as well go home
M-A-G-I-C in Buck we trust
Restoring order in the court and justice is a must
Lakers are the team that I watch on the telly
Cause they've got more moves
Than a bowl of jelly
The buck stops here, pops then cheers
A roar through the forum
That deafens my ears
The one and only know of his kind
Sits in a throne
Not for the records that he holds
But for being bald and bold
Kareem Abdul Jabbar
All time great supersuper star
I hate to burst your bubble but triple double trouble
Is coming to your town and he's gonna make rubble
Does anybody wants some Magic Johnson (x4)
L.A. Lakers fast break makers
Kings of the court shake and bake all takers
Back to back is a bad ass fact
A claim that remains intact

|
Hum hum hum
Gonna eat you alive
Oooh !
The freakiest show I know is the show of my own
Living my life in and out of the twilight zone
Burst my britches
Bless my soul
I'm a freak of nature
Walking totem pole
Look and see I think you'll agree
Nobody weird like me
Oh, I love you
And you love me too
Intercourse with a porpoise is a dream for me
Hell bent on inventing a new species
Burst my britches
Bless my soul
I'm a freak of nature
Walking totem pole
Look and see I think you'll agree
Nobody weird like me
Aw aw aw aw!
Gonna eat you alive
Riding down the path on the back of a giraffe
Me and the giraffe laughed cause I passed some gas
Burst my britches
Bless my hole
I'm a freak of nature
Walking totem pole
Look and see I think you'll agree
Nobody weird like me
Aw aw aw aw !
I love you too
Hum, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah !
Enchanted as a rabbit that my life is a dream
Well everything is never just as it seems
Aw !
The freakiest show I know is the show of my own
Aw, living my life in and out of the twilight zone
Hey, yeah, you some freak !
Have a little dream we could live in the sky
A moutain on a dream gonna give it to you
Open my eyes to the very blue sky
The sky is high, our crew can fly
A monkey cannot fly cause he never gets why
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

| 06. Knock Me Down |
|
Never too soon to be through
Being cool too much too soon
Too much for me too much for you
You're gonna lose in time
Don't be afraid to show your friends
That you hurt inside, inside
Pain's part of life don't hide behind your false pride
It's a lie, your lie
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life
(x2)
I'm tired of being intouchable
I'm not above the love
I'm part of you and you're part of me
Why did you go away
Finding what you're looking for can end up being
Being such a bore
I pray for you most everyday, my love's with you
Now fly away
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life
(x2)
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life
(x6)
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
It's so lonely
(x3)

Abats-moi
Il n'est jamais trop tôt pour en finir
Etant trop cool trop tôt
Trop pour moi, trop pour toi
Tu vas perdre à un moment
A chaque tournant de ta vie guettant ta propre combustion
Certains n'apprennent jamais à vivre et à apprendre
Arrête de chercher une malédiction
Avant de te retrouver dans un corbillard
N'aie pas peur de montrer à tes amis
Que tu as mal à l'intérieur, à l'intérieur
La souffrance fait partie de la vie, ne la cache pas derriere une fausse fierté
Ton mensonge est un mensonge
Ne t'éclipse pas et n'oublies pas
Je te donnerai plus que tu ne peux recevoir
Tu te sens si seul quand tu ne te connais même pas
Toi-même, viens vers moi
Si tu me vois devenir grand
Si tu me vois planer
Abats-moi
Je ne suis pas plus grand que la vie
Je suis fatigué d'être intouchable
Je ne suis pas au-dessus de l'amour
Je suis une partie de toi et tu es une partie de moi
Pourquoi as-tu disparu ?
Il est trop tard pour te dire ce que je ressens
Je veux que tu reviennes mais je deviens réaliste
Peux-tu entendre tomber mes larmes
Faisant comme de la pluie à l'endroit où tu es allongé
Trouvant ce que tu cherchais
Tu peux finir par être chiant
Je prie pour toi tous les jours
Mon amour est avec toi maintenant envole-toi
Si tu me vois devenir grand
Si tu me vois planer
Abats-moi
Je ne suis pas plus grand que la vie
Tu te sens si seul quand tu ne te connais même pas

| 07. Taste The Pain |
|
Flat on my back in a lonely sprawl
I stare at the ceiling because I cannot fall
Asleep tonight
No not at all
Headlights flash across my bedroom wall
Crying eyes open cause I cannot fall
In love with you
No not at all
Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid
(x2)
Busted in two like a brittle stick
I cannot drink because my throat constricts
Lovesick from you
That will never do
Open my mouth I couldn't make a sound
I could not sceam you know I could not shout
It out to you
Nothing to do
Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid
(x2)
Yeah, yeah !
This may come as a shocking surprise
I have to take a walk I have to kiss it goodbye
Goodbye my love
Goodbye my love
I am not alive
Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid
(x2)
Yeah, how the price gets paid
Well I, I, I, I, I, aw !
I've got to pay the price
I think I'll walk away
Everyday it is okay
If you want to play it again
I got to pay the price

Déguste La douleur
Couché sur le dos
Dans une solitude étendue
Je fixe le plafond
Parce que je n'arrive pas
A dormir ce soir
Non, pas du tout
Les phares jettent des éclairs
A travers les murs de ma chambre
Je pleure les yeux ouverts
Parce que je ne peux pas tomber
Amoureux de toi
Non, pas du tout
[Refrain]
Va t'en et déguste la douleur
Reviens un autre jour
N'es tu pas content de ne pas avoir eu peur ?
C'est drôle comme on peut payer le prix
Brisé en deux
Comme un baton fragile
Je ne peux pas boire
Parce que j'ai la gorge serrée
Une maladie d'amour venant de toi
Qui ne me quitteras jamais.
Ouvrant la bouche
Je ne pourrais emettre un son
Je ne pourrais pas crier
Je ne pourrais pas hurler
Après toi
Rien à faire
[Refrain]
Ca peut arriver comme une forte surprise
Je dois aller me promener
Je dois faire un baiser d'adieu
Adieu mon amour (x2)
Je ne vis plus
[Refrain]

And baby that's alright
She's stone cold bush yeah

A statue come to life
I cut you with my knife
Bleeding to the tune of Dolly Dagger
She's stone cold bush
She's stone cold bush
Ah yeah yeah yeah yeah !
Haight street got nothing to show
Except the shirt on your ass
When you're living in the streets you've got to let it roll
Get on with what you've got
Aw, everybody knows that its alright
You've got no secrets to tell
But when you smoke that rock and suck that cock
You do it all so well
She's stone cold bush
She's stone cold bush
Aw !
Bum bum bum bum bum !
She's stone cold bush yeah
And baby that's alright
She's stone cold bush yeah
And that's alright with me
She's got marble eyes
Sweet China doll her thighs
And animal in pain she starts to cry
Her pipes are open wide
She blows more than my mind
Echo sound of soul time after time
She's stone cold bush
She's stone cold bush

Save it for your rainy day
I have only one burnin' desire
Girl, let me get all over your fire

Feu
Bon ok alors
Maintenant, mate ca !
Tu ne m'aimes pas, ca m'est égal
T'as un nouvel imbécile ! ahh ca me va comme ca
Je n'ai qu'un désire brulant
Oh est ce que je peux faire l'amour avec ton feu ?
[Refrain]
Laisse moi rester à coté de ton feu
Feu cool cool... (x3)
Laisse moi rester à coté de ton feu
Oh ouais
Maintenant, écoute ca bébé
Et arrete d'agir si follement
Tu dis que ta mère n'est pas à la maison, ca ne me regarde pas
Ne joue juste pas avec moi tout simplement et tu ne te brûleras pas
Je n'ai qu'un désir brûlant
Oh moi, je vais le faire dans ton feu
[Refrain]
Oh pousse toi de là
Et laisse Mr Huckleberry prendre la relève
Tu sais qu'il est méchant, tu sais qu'il se noit, tu sais a qui il le donne
C'est vrai...
Maintenant mate ça !
Tu essaies de me donner ton argent
Tu ferais mieux de le garder bébé
Le garder pour tes mauvais jours
Je n'ai qu'un seul brûlant désir
Est ce que je peux faire l'amour à l'intérieur de ton feu
[Refrain]
Tu ferais mieux de faire glisser ton cul ailleurs
Parce que je passe par un et j'arrive dans la direction où tu dois être...

Mm mm mm mm mm mm
Huh a-huh a-huh a-huh uh uh uh uh
Aw, yeah
Hair so smooth, black as coal
Aw baby the way you sway
You wear the dress so very blue
That you can take my blues away
She comes and goes that I know
She cums at least once a day
I can't resist I kiss your lips
You're my sexy mexican maid
She cum (x4)
Shattered please get on my knees
I come alone
When I wake up in the morn
She greets me where I lay
I look outside to find
That it's a bright and sunny day
So serene she gives to me my toast and marmelade
What more can I say
She's my sexy mexican maid
She cum (x4)
Shattered please get on my knees
I come alone
She puts me in a bubble bath
She tickles me and I laugh
She washes me until I'm clean
Then she does a little sexy dance
Happy to feel my hand go slap
Upon her sexy ass
We make fun so very slow
Then we make it very fast
She cum (x4)
Shattered please get on my knees
Aw, marry me

Does that star-spangled banner yet wave
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I cry, I cry
I was born in a land
I don't think you understand
God damn what I am
I'm a native of this place
Please don't kick me in my face
My race has been disgraced
Pow pow !
Sing it again y'all!
Rap it !
Won't somebody testify
Kick a hole right in the sky
Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky
Slap a liar in his eye
Kick a hole right in the sky
Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I wonder why, why
Put us in your pumpkin shell
Where you keep us very well
It's Hell, where I dwell
When history books are full of shit
I become the anarchist
I'm pissed at this
What this country claims to be
It's a lie, no place for me
I bleed
Pow pow !
Sing it again y'all!
Pow pow !
Won't somebody testify
Kick a hole right in the sky
Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky
Slap a liar in his eye
Kick a hole right in the sky
Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I decide to defy
Kill my trust if you must
But in my blood there is a lust for life
That's right
Apache blood is in my heart
Thrashing through me like a shark
Crashing through the dark
Pow pow !
Sing it again y'all!
Slap it !
Won't somebody testify
Kick a hole right in the sky
Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky
Slap a liar in his eye
Kick a hole right in the sky
Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I confide, confide
What am I supposed to do
I feel like I'm cut into
Confused by rules
Do these two cultures clash
Or am I living in the past
I ask
Please tell me fast
Pow pow !
Sing it again y'all!
Rap it !
Won't somebody testify
Kick a hole right in the sky
Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky
Slap a liar in his eye
Kick a hole right in the sky
Testify, testify, kick a hole right in the sky
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
I, that's right
To what do I belong
And if I change will I be wrong
Be wrong, just wrong
I took my foot and kicked a hole in the sky
I proceeded to plead for fathers help me decide
A jagged flash of light struck me in the eye
I turned around and found that I was still alive
Snakes rise high from the purple black sky
The red cloud rains and the black horse rides
Then it dawned on me like the mornin' sun
I'm a part of two worlds and the mornin' comes
Glowing embers tend to remember when
The power that is peace was treated as a friend
I am a master of objection and I've got to take action
I'm a man
The animal man

Commentaire
L'année suivante, les Red Hot Chili Peppers sortent Mother's milk, un disque qui fera parler de lui dès sa sortie en raison de sa pochette jugée trop provocatrice pour les associations parentales américaines. Côté musique, l'album n'apporte pas grand-chose de nouveau, et ce sont surtout les 2 reprises (Higher Ground de Stevie Wonder et Fire de Jimi Hendrix) qui attire l'attention du public.Mother's Milk contient tout de même d'excellents titres comme Knock Me Down, Nobody Weird Like Me et Sexy Mexican maid où la basse de Flea se taille la part du lien. Commercialement parlant, l'album est un nouveau succès et devient en quelques semaines disque d'or aux Etats Unis, tandis que les tournées enropéennes des Red Hot ne font qu'accentuer le statut culte du groupe.
