Édition spéciale [English translation]

First, there’s this girl on the TV screen

Who says, “Goodnight, See you tomorrow”.

With bit of music and some upside-down little guys

And after that, nothing else

I was there at 8:00 pm

To hear the bad news

She left me all alone

With my desires for her

Behind her face,

A snow-filled landscape

And after that, nothing else

After that I tune in to my buddy

On the local radio

Giving a speech

It is the time he hopes for

Above his jar

If daylight ever comes

Because it seems half the world is on fire

And they expect the best only for the Sagittariuses

After one last drink

The breath of the stars

And then nothing else

(x2)

And then after that, special edition, special edition

In living color

My desires for her

And then after that, special edition, special edition

In living size

Her eyes on the wall

And then after that, I look around for

Someone I know

Who is still standing

I shouldn’t fool myself

At this hour there won’t be many people around

I have a hard time sleeping next to no one

And the silence awaits me

I hear it echoing

“See ya, goodbye, good night!”

The sound as I hang up

And after that, nothing else

(x2)

And then after that, special edition, special edition

In living size

Her eyes on the wall

And then after that,

special edition, special edition

In natural color

My desires for her

When I awake, the girl on the TV screen has already said ‘Good morning’

My buddy is off on another rant, another speech

But night comes quickly for those who fear it

There are things you avoid, not easy with her

A quiet afternoon

A boring afternoon

And then after that (x3)

Édition spéciale.. (x2)
