Paroles
Hasn’t anybody seen me lately
I’ll tell you why
Hasn’t anybody seen me lately
I’ll tell you why
I caught something made me so sick
That I thought that I would die
And I almost did too
First my knees begin to tremble
My heart begin to pound
First my knees begin to tremble
My heart begin to pound
It was arrhythmic and out of tune
I lost my equilibrium
And fell face down upon the ground
As I lay there on that cold pavement
A tear ran down my face
'Cause I thought I was dying
You boys know I’m not a religious man
But I sent a prayer out just in case
You never know
Lo and behold almost immediately
I had reason to believe my prayer had been heard in a very special place
'Cause I heard this sound
Ooooh
Yes
Ooooh
Yes, it was harps and angels
Harps and angels coming near
I was too sick to roll over and see them
But I could hear them singing ever so beautifully in my ear
Then the sound began to subside
And they sounded like background singers
And a voice come down from the heavens above
It was a voice full of anger from the Old Testament
And a voice full of love from the New One
And the street lit up like it was the middle of the day
And I lay there quiet and listened to what that voice had to say
He said, «You ain’t been a good man
You ain’t been a bad man
But you’ve been pretty bad
Lucky for you this ain’t your time
Someone very dear to me has made another clerical error
And we’re here on a bit of a wild goose chase
But I want to tell you a few things
That’ll hold you in good stead when it is your time
So you better listen close
I’m only going to say this once
When they lay you on the table
Better keep your business clean
'Fore they lay you on the table
Better keep your business clean
Don’t want no back stabbing, ass grabbing
You know exactly what I mean
Alright girls — we’re outta here»
Ooooh
«Encore. Encore.»
Ooooh
«Tres bien
Encore»
And off they went into the night
Almost immediately I felt better
And I come round to see you boys
'Cause you know we ain’t living right
And while it was fresh
I wanted to tell you what he told me He said, «When they lay you on the table
Better keep your business clean
When they lay you on the table
Better keep your business clean
Else there won’t be no harps and angels coming for you
It’ll be trombones, kettle drums, pitchforks and tambourines»
Sing it like they did for me one time
Ooooh — yes
Ooooh — beautiful
Wish I spoke French
So actually the main thing about this story is for me There really is an afterlife
And I hope to see all of you there
Let’s go get a drink
Traduction des paroles
Et ils sont allés dans la nuit
Presque immédiatement je me suis senti mieux
Et je viens tour pour voir vous les garçons
Car vous savez nous n'avons pas le droit de vivre
Et alors qu'il était frais
Je voulais vous dire ce qu'il m'a dit qu'Il a dit, «Quand ils vous poser sur la table
Mieux vaut garder votre entreprise propre
Quand ils te poseront sur la table
Mieux vaut garder votre entreprise propre
Sinon il n'y aura pas de harpes et d'anges qui viendront pour vous
Ce sera des trombones, des tambours de bouilloire, des fourches et des tambourins»
Chanter comme ils l'ont fait pour moi une fois
Ooooh-Oui
Ooooh-belle
J'aimerais parler français
Donc en fait la chose principale à propos de cette histoire est pour moi il y a vraiment une vie après la mort
Et j'espère de vous voir tous là
Allons prendre un verre
