In my suburban neighborhood
There was action in hell, when we were brats
We played hide and seek on the neighbors' fields
I stayed hid for quite a long time
In the hedge with little Chartrand
When the weather wasn't nice
There was the basement in Guilbeault, we went to play at Coleco
The little guys were fooling around at G.I. Joe's
And on the sister at Lavallée, because she had some big ones
And when the sun came out from behind the clouds
ç came alive everywhere in the neighborhood
We could hear the slap-shots on the garage doors
And the mother shouting in Lepage
The neighborhood dispersed
We got older, we made new friends
There were the first blondes but it wasn't too steady
It's Dédà © who was the first to have his license
In his Volkswagen (Variant: In his old Datsun)
We listened to Led Zeppelin
With all our life in before
But one evening towards the end of spring
After a party Dédé killed himself
Y fell asleep at the wheel
I'll always remember that night
The Canadiens had just won the Stanley Cup
After his death we all fell to a low
I dropped out of Cégep in January
You arrived at the right time
You came out of nowhere
A bit like a flower that grows in the cement
Beneath the orange spots of Parc Champigny
That's where for the first time we gave each other a big kiss
I think it's It was the happiest day of my life
Afterwards I bought you lunch in Kentucky
I went to drive you home with my chest out
Damn that night I slept well
There were good times
But happiness seems to last just one time
Because one time when I showed up at your house
Chu came back like a boxer who had just eaten a meal
Sitting at the table at a picnic
You told me you had enough, that you even had a new kick
Chu left walking without looking back
In your driveway I held myself back from screaming
It's as if you had taken a pair of box cutters
And you had cut the cord of my heart
I was devastated for a couple of weeks
A guy has to swallow his pain
Autumn came back through the back door re
In my suburbs the night is beautiful and there is hope
The full moon reflects like a mirror
On the water of above-ground swimming pools
/>Lay la lay...
