    J’ai rêvé New York, New York City sur Hudson.

     

    Monsieur Lester Young, si une bombe atomique tombait sur New York, que feriez-vous ?
    J’briserais la vitrine de chez Tiffany et j’piquerais tous les bijoux.
    Monsieur Grégory Corso, qu’est-ce que la puissance ?
    Rester au coin d’une rue et n’attendre personne.
    Bonjour Monsieur Hendrix, je suis du New York Times !
    Salut, moi je suis de la planète Mars !

     

    J’ai rêvé New York, New York City sur Hudson.

     

    Babylone, tu te shootes et tu rêves
    Babylone, tu fumes trop et tu crèves.
    Babylone, tu exploseras sur un graffiti de New York !
    Quand il pleut des cordes - Roule en Ford
    Si tu veux faire mac - Roule en Cadillac
    Si tu veux faire chic - Roule en Buick
    Si tu Rockfeller - Roule en Chrysler

     

    J’ai rêvé New York, New York City sur Hudson.

     

    Nous étions arrivés balancés par des filins d’acier
    Manhattan Bridge
    Du haut de nos chevaux nous regardions les fumées
    Brooklyn bridge
    De l’asphalte, des morceaux de pneus, de la gomme et des souliers
    Queensboro bridge
    Pour qu’elle puisse s’envoler
    Georges Washington bridge
    Pour qu’il n’y ait plus
    De sang- Blood
    De sueurs- Sweat
    Ni de larmes -Tears
    Seulement le silence coincé entre mon rêve et deux océans

    J’ai rêvé New York, New York City sur Hudson

     

    Patti Smith "free Money" (album Horses 1975)

    Every night before I go to sleep
    Find a ticket, win a lottery,
    Scoop the pearls up from the sea
    Cash them in and buy you all the things you need.

    Every night before I rest my head
    See those dollar bills go swirling 'round my bed.
    I know they're stolen, but I don't feel bad.
    I take that money, buy you things you never had.

    Oh, baby, it would mean so much to me,
    Oh, baby, to buy you all the things you need for free.
    I'll buy you a jet plane, baby,
    Get you on a higher plane to a jet stream
    And take you through the stratosphere
    And check out the planets there and then take you down
    Deep where it's hot, hot in Arabia, babia,
    Then cool, cold fields of snow
    And we'll roll, dream, roll, dream, roll, roll, dream, dream.
    When we dream it, when we dream it, when we dream it,
    We'll dream it, dream it for free, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money.

    Every night before I go to sleep
    Find a ticket, win a lottery.
    Every night before I rest my head
    See those dollar bills go swirling 'round my bed.

    Oh, baby, it would mean so much to me,
    Baby, I know our troubles will be gone.
    Oh, I know our troubles will be gone, goin' gone
    If we dream, dream, dream for free.
    And when we dream it, when we dream it, when we dream it,
    Let's dream it, we'll dream it for free, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money,
    Free money, free money, free money, free

    The Mamas & The Papas, California dreamin', 1965

    All the leaves are brown, (All the leaves are brown)
    And the sky is grey, (And the sky is grey)
    I've been for a walk, (I've been for a walk)
    On a winter's day, (On a winter's day)
    I'd be safe and warm, (I'd be safe and warm)
    If I was in L.A., (If I was in L.A.)
    California dreamin, (California dreamin)
    On such a winter's day

    Stopped into a church
    I passed along the way
    Well, I got down on my knees
    (Got down on my knees)
    And I pretend to pray
    (I pretend to pray)
    You know the preacher likes the cold
    (Preacher likes the cold)
    He knows I'm gonna stay
    (Knows I'm gonna stay)
    California dreamin, (California dreamin)
    On such a winter's day

    All the leaves are brown, (All the leaves are brown)
    And the sky is grey, (And the sky is grey)
    I've been for a walk, (I've been for a walk)
    On a winter's day, (On a winter's day)
    If I didn't tell her, (If I didn't tell her)
    I could leave today, (I could leave today)
    California dreamin, (California dreamin)
    On such a winter's day
    California dreamin
    On such a winter's day
    California dreamin
    On such a winter's day

     Bob Dylan, The times they are a changin' ( Album The times they are a changin', 1964) 

     

    Come gather around people, wherever you roam
    And admit that the waters around you have grown
    And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
    If your time to you is worth savin'
    Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
    For the times they are a-changin'

    Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
    And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
    And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
    And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
    For the loser now will be later to win
    For the times they are a-changin'

    Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
    Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
    For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
    The battle outside ragin'
    Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
    For the times they are a-changin'

    Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
    And don't criticize what you can't understand
    Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
    Your old road is rapidly aging
    Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
    For the times they are a-changin'

    The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast
    The slow one now will later be fast
    As the present now will later be past
    The order is rapidly fadin'
    And the first one now will later be last
    For the times they are a-changin'
     
    Judy Garland, "Over the rainbow" (Film Le magicien d'oz, 1939)
     
     
     
    Daniel Balavoine, "Le chanteur" (Album Le chanteur, 1978)
    Rêves d'amour et de gloire qui tournent au cauchemar...
     
     
    Jean-Jacques Goldman, "Là-bas" (album Entre gris clair et gris foncé, 1987)
    l'histoire d'un migrant qui rêve d'une vie meilleure, comme les Portoricains de West Side Story). Cruellement d'actualité: " Y'a des tempêtes et des naufrages..."
     
     
     Joe Dassin, "L'Amérique" (Album La fleur aux dents, 1970)
    Tube des années 70 sur le rêve américain... il ne se dégage pas de cette chanson la même émotion que de celle de Goldman, mais elle ne manque pas d'entrain. Je ne résiste pas à l'envie de vous renvoyer vers cette vidéo d'un kitsch... ultime:
