Basket-ball - William Sheller

Fallait savoir mettre des gants pour tre utile quelque chose

Dans cette famille o tous les gens

Voulaient toujours tout mettre en cause

Moi j’tais alors un type qui joue pas mal au basket ball

Qui joue pas mal de rock’n’roll

Et quand t’tais l, je n’savais rien dire, ils parlaient tous aussi fort

Tu ne voyais mme pas ce que a voulait dire

Quelqu’un qui tient ton regard aussi fort

Fallait savoir passer devant ces frres qui jugent et s’interposent

Pour s’approcher un peu des gens

Parce qu’on les aime plus qu’on suppose

Moi j’tais encore un type qui joue pas mal au basket ball

Qui joue pas mal de rock’n’roll

Et quand t’tais l, je n’savais rien dire, ils parlaient tous aussi fort

Tu ne voyais mme pas ce que a voulait dire

Quelqu’un qui tient ton regard aussi fort

Il s’est pass pas mal de temps, mes frres sont loin et font des nvroses

Maman joue un peu moins souvent sur le piano en vieux bois d’rose

Moi je vais dehors, je joue encore un peu au basket ball

J’coute encore du rock’n’roll

Et quand t’tais l, je n’savais rien dire, ils parlaient tous aussi fort

Tu ne voyais mme pas ce que a voulait dire

Quelqu’un qui tient ton regard aussi fort.

Had to know how to put on gloves to be useful something

In this family where all the people

Always wanted to question everything

I was then a guy who plays a lot of basketball

Who plays a lot of rock'n'roll

And when you were there, I couldn't say anything, they were all talking just as loud

You didn't even see what that meant

Someone who holds your gaze so tight

You had to know how to pass in front of these brothers who judge and intervene

To get a little closer to people

Because we love them more than we think

Me, I was still a guy who plays a lot of basketball

Who plays a lot of rock'n'roll

And when you were there, I couldn't say anything, they were all talking just as loud

You didn't even see what that meant

Someone who holds your gaze so tight

It's been a while, my brothers are away and neurotic

Mom plays a little less often on the old rosewood piano

Me, I'm going outside, I'm still playing some basketball

I still listen to rock'n'roll

And when you were there, I couldn't say anything, they were all talking just as loud

You didn't even see what that meant

Someone who holds your gaze so tightly.
