| 01. Higher Ground |
|
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)

| 02. Fight Like A Brave |
|
All you slingers and friends hide behind your rocks
Put down your guard I'm not here to box
This is no showdown
So throw down your guns
You see it doesn't matter
Where you come from
You could be from Park Ave
Or from a park bench
You could be a politician
Or a bitchy princess
But if you're lookin' for a fist
And you're lookin' to unite
Put your knuckleheads together
Make a fist and fight
Not to your death
And not to your grave
I'm talkin' about that freedom
Fight like a brave
Fight like a brave
Don't be a slave
No one can tell you
You've got to be afraid
If you're sick-a-sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
If you're sick of all the bullshit
And you're sick of all the lies
It's better late than never
To set-a-set it straight
You know the lie is dead
So give yourself a break
Get it through your head
Get it off your chest
Get it out your arm
Because it's time to start fresh
You want to stop dying
The life you could be living
I'm here to tell a story
But I'm also here to listen
No I'm not your preacher
And I'm not your physician
I'm just trying to reach you
I'm a rebel with a mission
Fight like a brave
Don't be a slave
No one can tell you
You've got to be afraid
(x2)
I am here today to talk about the Uplift Mofo Party Plan
A plan based on a band
A band based on a plan
There should be no strings in the land of lands
With the Hollywwod jam
You say you're running and you're running
And you're running afraid
You say you ran across the planet
But you couldn't get away
The fire in your brain
Was driving you insane
You were looking for a day
In a life that never came
So don't tell me that
I've got to take a number
Cause I've been to that doctor
And believe me that's a bummer
Here's a one of a kind
Convention of the mind
And don't forget to mention
That it doesn't cost a dime
Come as you like
And leave any time
And one more thing
You know it doesn't have to rhyme
Fight like a brave
Don't be a slave
No one can tell you
You've got to be afraid
(x5)

| 03. Behind The Sun |
|
One day while bathing in the sea
My talking dolphin spoke to me
He spoke to me in symphony
From freedom's peace beneath the sea
He looked to me eyes full of love
Said yes we live behind the sun
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Behind the sun
The sun goes up and the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound
Behind the sun
Now while I shower in the rain
I watch my dolphin swim away
The one who listens to the surf
Can feel the pulse beat of the earth
And like my dolphin swims so free
The sun does swim into the sea
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
An island flying through the sky
One day your son might ask you why
And if your son should be a girl
She too might ask you of this world
The sun shines sweet upon your beach
And yes my dolphin loves to teach
Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Behind the sun
The sun goes up and the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound
Behind the sun
Wow!

| 04. Me and My Friends |
|
Me and my me and my me and my me and my
Me and my friends
(x4)
Like two sweet peas in an even sweeter pod
That's my friend and my friend's named Bob
Like the devil knows Hell I know Bobby well
Well enough to tell you about his 67 smells
Well enough to tell you he's a hell-a-swell fellow
Well enough to tell you that we know each other better
Than we know ourselves
Like freaks of a feather we rock together
I know Bobby well
But I think he knows me better
Me and my me and my me and my me and my
Me and my friends
(x4)
He's as close to me as a friend can be
Well, I'll be standing by my buddy
He'll be standing by me
Just another half of the two headed freak
But I need him like my heart needs to beat
At this point in this friendly verse
I've got to sing a little something
That I haven't rehearsed
It's about my man and his name is Hillel
For who my love is woul brother sacred
Take it Huckleberry
Slim boy take it
Me and my me and my me and my me and my
Me and my friends
(x2)
Jacky's eyes are closed
But he's right on course
Because he's guided by the invisible force
He drives a kooky green Chrysler
Bad as anybody's Porsche
He's a working class drummer
He's as strong as a horse
Me and my me and my me and my me and my
Me and my friends
(x4)

| 05. Backwoods |
|
Oh, someone spilled blood many years ago
Wow, someone spilled blood but do you know
That from the backwoods where the Chuck Berrys grow
Come your long tall daddies of rock and roll
Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
Spinnin' down from the clouds like a tornado
Spinnin' out of control like a psychedelic soul
With a rhythm hittin' harder than Larry Holmes
Come your long tall daddies of rock and roll
Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
Wow!
Take me to your backwoods now
Take me to your backwoods now
Yeah!
Well, Mr. Uplift Mofo, my man Bo Didley
Hit sippin' a bottle of nickle ripple
Play the lickity split finger lickin' licks
For all you wicked city slick chicks
And all you nitty gritty hicks
We'll make your nipples ripple
Make you wanna dip your dipple
Make you wanna soak your hickory stick
That's right
Because my man has a grip on it
And I do mean on it
Which brings to mind
A very sinister minister kind of guy
A man named Little Richard
Who was born to make them bitches stir
That's right he'll make the sweet substance drip
From the middle of your hillbilly lips
And like the farmer milks his cow
The Howling Wolf will howl
And since times does allow
You all can take me to your backwoods now, yourself
Take me to your backwoods now (x4)
Oh, take me to your backwoods!

Take a little lesson from the kangaroos
Don't you know they're jumping foos, jump you!
Jump a nun
Jump a jack
Jump for fun
Jump back
How's about us jumpin' in the sack
And now it's time for a jump attack

| 09. 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

| 10. Under The Bridge |
|
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the City of Angels
Lonely as I am together we cry
I drive on her streets cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds and she kisses me windy
I never worry, now that is a lie
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
(x2)
Yeah
Yeah yeah
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city she loves me
Lonely as I am together we cry
I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
(x2)
Yeah
Yeah yeah
Oh no no no, yeah yeah
Love me I say yeah yeah
One time
Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away
Yeah, yeah yeah
Oh no no no no, yeah yeah
Downtown, I say yeah yeah
Will I stay?

Sous Le Pont
Parfois j'ai l'impression
De n'avoir aucun compagnon
Parfois j'ai l'impression
Que ma seule amie
Est la ville dans laquelle je vis
La ville des anges (Los Angeles)
Aussi solitaire que je suis
Ensemble nous pleurons
Je conduis dans ses rues car
Elle est ma camarade
Je marche à travers ses collines car
Elle sait qui je suis
Elle voit mes bonnes actions
Et elle m'embrasse avec son vent
Je ne m'inquiète jamais
Maintenant que c'est un mensonge
[Refrain] x2
Je ne veux plus jamais me sentir
Comme j'ai été ce jour-là
Emmène-moi à l'endroit que j'aime
Emmène-moi par tous les moyens
Yeah, yeah... yeah, yeah
C'est dur de croire
Qu'il n'y a personne dans le coin
C'est dur de croire
Que je suis tout seul
Au moins j'ai son amour
La ville, elle, elle m'aime
Aussi seul que je puisse être
Nous pleurons ensemble
[Refrain] (x2)
Yeah, yeah... yeah, yeah
Oh non, non-non, yeah, yeah
Aime moi, je dis yeah, yeah
Une fois
Sous le pont du centre ville,
C'est là que j'ai aspiré du sang
Sous le pont du centre ville
Je n'en avais jamais assez
Sous le pont du centre ville
J'ai oublié mon amour
Sous le pont du centre ville
J'ai foutu ma vie en l'air
Yeah... yeah, yeah
Oh, non, non-non-non, yeah, yeah
En l'air
Oh, non, je disais, oh, yeah, yeah
En l'air (x2)
Resterais-je ?

| 11. Show Me Your Soul |
|
In a world that can be so insane
I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you
I wanna know more than your brain
Into my life you were injected
Not something that I expected
Now I smile from your affection
We have made a soul connection
Just for whom does your bell toll ?
Don't be cold show me your soul
Chorus :
Sentimental gentlemen are not afraid to show you when
I am you, you' re my best friend
Show me your soul
In a world that can be so insane
I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you
I wanna know more than your brain
Yes, I find you so appealing
When you show me how you're feeling
You, my friend, should not be kneeling
Open up and start revealing
Trust in me my heart is sole
I need to see show me your soul
Chorus…
In a world that can be so insane
I don't think it's very strange
For me to be in love with you
I wanna know more than your brain
Don' t expect too much from me
Perfection is no test for me
Because the best I'll ever be
Is just like you : a human being
You won't offend, I need to know
Please, my friend, show me your soul
Chorus…
|
Montre-Moi Ton Ame
Dans un monde qui peut être si insensé
Je ne pense pas que se soit très étrange
Pour moi d'être amoureux de toi
Je veux connaître plus que ton cerveau
Dans ma vie tu as été injectée
Ce n était pas une chose à laquelle je m'attendais
Maintenant je souris grace à ton affection
Nous avons créé une connection d' âme
Pour qui, exactement, sonnes-tu le glas ?
Ne sois pas froide montre-moi ton âme
Refrain :
Les gentlemen sentimentaux n'ont pas peur de te montrer quand
Je suis toi, tu es ma meilleure amie
Montre-moi ton âme
Dans un monde qui peut être si insensé
Je ne pense pas que se soit très étrange
Pour moi d être amoureux de toi
Je veux connaître plus que ton cerveau
Oui, je te trouve tellement attirante
Quand tu me montres ce que tu ressens
Toi, mon amie, tu ne devrais pas t'agenouiller
Ouvre toi et comme à te reveler
Aie confiance en moi, mon coeur est seul
J'ai besoin de voir, montre-moi ton âme
Refrain…
Dans un monde qui peut être si insensé
Je ne pense pas que se soit très étrange
Pour moi d'être amoureux de toi
Je veux connaître plus que ton cerveau
N'en attends pas trop de moi
Le test de la perfection n'est pas pour moi
Parce que le meilleur que je puisse etre
C'est, exactement comme toi : un être humain
Tu ne t'offenseras pas, j'ai besoin de savoir
S'il te plait, montre-moi tonâme
Refrain…

| 12. If You Want Me To Stay |
|
If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see
I'm about to go there then you'll know
For me to stay here I've got to be me
You'll never be in doubt
That's what it's all about
You can take me for granted and smile
Count the days I'm gone
Fortget reachin' me by phone
Cause I promise I'll be gone for a while
And when you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person that you really are now
You got to get it straight
How could I ever be late
When you're my woman taking up my time
Oh how could I ever allow
I guess I wonder how
I could get out a pocket for fun
When you know that you're never number two
Number one is gonna be number one
I'll be good
I wish I could
Get this message over to you now
And when you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person that you really are now
I'll be so good
I wish I could
Get this message over to you now
Get this message over to you now
I'll be so good
I wish I could

|
Deep inside the soul hole of mother Earth
Father Time came with a supersonic, supersonic burst
His soul monkey sperm tribes racing to be first
Her ruby fruit jungle ginvin' bush baby bush baby birth
The baby was a boy but I think what stunned her
Is that this bare breasted baby was a baby boy boy boy boy wonder
Crackin' from his thumb bone came Thelonious thunder, yeah
Fill the sky with hellfire from way down down down down under
I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I get all the bush I
I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I get all the bush I can
Erupting from the ground in Hollywood he glowed
His jungle turned to concrete his funk bone bone bone bone to stone
Like a full blown volcano I must let it be known
That through this boy's veins atomic lava blood flows and flows
His soul shocking sounds they make the mountains moon
This boy's become a man
It's time to take take take take the throne
I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I get all the bush I
I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I get all the bush I

| 15. The Brothers Cup |
|
Give it up to this planet full of strife
We're the brother's cup, a cuttin' sharp as a knife
With the pop of a snap and the flip of a flap
The cups went up like a natural fact
It was our shoulder space that made the perfect place
For the magic of the cup to style out with grace
With a tight turn twist and a slight swerve swank
The brother's cup kissed with a kick ass clank
We are the brother's cup
We like to get it up
We are the brother's cup
We like to get it up
Give it up to this planet full of strife
We're the brother's cup, a cuttin' sharp as a knife
With the pop of a snap and the flip of a flap
The cups went up like a natural fact
So love all your brothers and love all your sisters
Love all the misses and love all the misters
Don't be shy when you're sharing your kisses
The brother's cup kiss and we ain't sissies
We are the brother's cup
We are the brother's cup
We are the cup scouts
We are the brother's cup
We are the brother's cup
Get it?
Do it!
Good!
Why?
Keep it, keep it
It is our notion that the perfect peace potion
Can be found in the wake of the green sea's motion
The long rocking swell of the mighty blue ocean
Is the cradle of peace, it's the perfect peace potion
Give it up to this planet full of strife
We're the brother's cup, a cuttin' sharp as a knife
With the power of the cup we are about to astound
All your preconceptions, they will come unbound
We're the brother's cup comin' to your town
Bringing tubs of love, we're gonna spread it around
We are the brother's cup
We are the brother's cup
We are the brother's cup
We like to get it up
We are the brother's cup
We like to get it up
We are the brother's cup
We like to get it up
We are the brother's cup
We like to get it up

| 16. 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

|
Catholic school girls rule (x4)
In the class she's taking notes
Just how deep deep is my throat
Mother Mary don't you know
She's got eyes like Marilyn Monroe
Catholic school girls rule (x8)
From the cross she's raised her head
This is what the sister said
Give no love until you're wed
Live no life until you're dead
The good book says we must suppress
The good book says we must confess
But who cares what the good book says
Now she's taking off her dress
Catholic school girls rule (x4)
Lead us not into temptation
We are pure divine creation
Talkin' about my generation
Injected with the seed of emaculation
Catholic!

Le règlement de l'école catholique pour filles
Le règlement de l'école catholique pour filles (x4)
En cours elle prends des notes
Et je vois sa poitrine en face de moi
Mère Marie, ne vois tu pas
Qu'elle a les yeux de Marylin Monroe
Le règlement de l'école catholique pour filles (x8)
Elle attache ses cheveux depuis la croix
C'est ce qu'ordonné la sœur
Ne fais pas l'amour avant ton mariage
Ne vis pas avant ta mort
Le livre sacré dit qu'on doit tout supprimer
Le livre sacré dit qu'on doit se confesser
Mais qui suis ce que la bible dit
Elle enlève maintenant sa robe
Le règlement de l'école catholique pour les filles (x4)
Même abandonnés dans la tentation
Nous sommes des créatures de Dieu
Je parle de ma génération
Salie par la tentation du péché
Catholique

| 18. Johnny Kick A Hole In The Sky |
|
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
Quels hits? ceux des Red Hot bien sûr. 8 ans après la parution de leur premier LP éponyme, les Californiens jettent un regard dans le rétroviseur en compilant une série de hits. A défaut d\'avoir été de véritables tubes ( à l'exception de Give It Away et d'Under The Bridge), ces 18 titres constituentun bon résumé de la carrière des Red Hot Chili Peppers. Les débuts tumultueux du groupe sont présents avec True Men Don't Kill Coyotes (tirée du premier album) et Catholic School Girls Rule (de Freaky Styley). La période intermédiaire (Uplift Mofo Party Plan et Mother's Milk) est également restituée avec des titres plus maîtrisés comme Behind The Sun et Knock Me Down. Curieusement, What Hits ? n'offre qu'un seul titre de Blood Sugar Sex Magik (Under The Bridge) négligeant ainsi Give It Away, une manoeuvre expliquée par le fait que cette compilation est éditée par EMI (l'ancienne maison de disques des RHCP) qui n'a aucun droit sur l\'album Blood Sugar Sex Magik édité par Warner/Wea. A noter la présence d'un inédit (Show Me Your Soul, extrait de la bande originale de Pretty Woman).
