Modern Art

Modern art makes me want to rock out !

So I'm in the Tate 

And I'm looking at Hockney and Wow!

There's something about that blue 

Amazes me when I step outside 

Oh I'm losing my time

Sweet Jesus, my heart is beating faster and faster

I'm palpating

I'm sweating 

I just can't help myself 

Modern art makes me want to rock out 

So I'm in the Pompidou 

That's in Paris, and the French

They are far more laid back about their art galleries 

There's little children running around 

I see a piece by Matisse 

There's my window of opportunity

I take four steps back 

I bow my head down and I run at it!

Modern art makes me want to rock out

All anybody really wants

Avec le retour d'Art Brut (sur disque et en concert), je ré-écoute la discographie de ce groupe à l'accent et à l'humour so british.
"Brilliant" ! (en anglais dans le texte)

My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll
There's a noise in his head and he's out of control.

And yes it frustrates,
Let's let him make his own mistakes.
See him on the dance floor go now,
Boy those moves I just don't know how.

My little Brother just discovered Rock & Roll
He's only 22 and he's out of control.

How's he living?
With all of that unforgiving.
See him on the dance floor go now,
Boy those moves I just don't know how.

My little Brother just discovered Rock and Roll
He's only 22 and he's out of control.

He no longer likes A-sides,
He made me a tape of Bootlegs and B-sides.
And every song on that tape said, every single song said,
I want our parents to worry about us.
All we ever wanted is for our parents to worry about us.
It's all anybody really wants.

Stay off the Crack!
