CafeMan Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Motorcyles and poetry do not a song make! I like it simple! Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett's) "Bike".......at least the first verse! "I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like, it's got a basket, a bell that rings, and things to make it look good, I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it...... sure, he "might" have been refering to a bicycle but it applies to a motorbike too!

rocker59 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 the once splendid 1960's sex icon Brigitte Bardot (she has turned into a very sour extreme right-winger, and her beauty, both inside and outside, is definitively in the past) Since when is an "animal rights activist" an extreme right-winger ??? She was born in 1934. It's not unusual for a person to lose a little beauty by the time they reach 72 !!!!! Why the slam on Brigette ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she is definitively not the person she was when she worked and was subliminated by Serge Gainsbourg, and has expressed definitive and very radical opinions about politics and religion I rather not get into on this fine forum. She's been found guilty and condemned three times by courts for racism due to writings and declarations she made and is married to a guy belonging to the FN, a french extreme right movement. She has been on some TV shows and clearly called, and was condemned by courts, for racial hate a few times. So, we're a long way from the innocent sexy looking blonde she was back in the sixties...

Too bad there's no 1st Amendment in France. So she doesn't like muslim terrorists and is willing to write about it. It's no wonder France is being overrun.

stogieBill Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Turn the Page Words and Music by Bob Seger On a long and lonesome highway East of Omaha You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one note song You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through Here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go Turn the page Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can All the same old cliches, "Is that a woman or a man?" And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand Here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go Turn the page Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away Every ounce of energy you try to give away As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said Here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go Turn the page Here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go There I go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jihem Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 another french song, this time sung by another Icon, Edith Piaf. interestingly enough, the music is from Lieber-Stoller. This song was written in 1956... L'homme à la moto (the man with the motorbike) Il portait des culottes, des bottes de moto Un blouson de cuir noir avec un aigle sur le dos Sa moto qui partait comme un boulet de canon Semait la terreur dans toute la région. (he wore motorbike trousers and boots a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back his motor fast like a bullet was scaring away the entire region) Jamais il ne se coiffait, jamais il ne se lavait Les ongles pleins de cambouis mais sur les biceps il avait Un tatouage avec un cœur bleu sur la peau blême Et juste à l'intérieur, on lisait : "Maman je t'aime" (Never was he combing himself, never was he washing himself dirty nails full of dirty oil but on his biceps he had a tatoo with a light blue heart and inside one could read "Mum, I love you") Dans le bruit de la machine et du tuyau d'échappement Il bondit comme un diable avec des flammes dans les yeux Au passage à niveau, ce fut comme un éclair de feu Contre une locomotive qui filait vers le midi Et quand on débarrassa les débris... (In the noise of his bike and his exhausts he jumped like a devil with flames in his eyes at the train junction it was like a firebolt Against a train going south And when they cleaned the remaining parts...) On trouva sa culotte, ses bottes de moto Son blouson de cuir noir avec un aigle sur le dos Mais plus rien de la moto et plus rien de ce démon Qui semait la terreur dans toute la région... (They found his motorbike trouser and boots his black leather jacket with an eagle on the back But nothing from the bike and nothing from the demon who was terrorizing the entire region) (fast translation...)

Guest Nogbad Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 By the Manic Street Preachers: "Motorcycle Emptiness" Culture sucks down words Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles Organise your safe tribal war Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto Each day living out a lie Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Life lies a slow suicide Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths From feudal serf to spender This wonderful world of purchase power Just like lungs sucking on air Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Drive away and it's the same Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim Your joys are counterfeit This happiness corrupt political shit Living life like a comatose Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Ghost Rider by Henry Rollins and the Rollins band? "Ghost Rider motor cycle hero Baby baby he lookin' so cute See him ride ride ride in a blue jump suit Ghost Rider motor cycle hero Baby baby baby he's a blazin' away Like the stars stars stars in the universe Ghost Rider motor cycle hero Baby baby baby he's screamin' the truth America America's killin' its youth Ghost Rider Ghost Rider" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd because its associated with the 70's bit of the game. I don't see Rollins doing to many covers somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
