[armandsdamanhoo]

[JuanBNO]

This song is good enough to make me want to cannibalize the one I love.

[neerajatsuki]

Lyrics :

Bonsoir, Ton véhicule n'a pas l'air d'avoir de passagers,

Veux-tu... Veux-tu me recevoir ? Sans trop te déranger...

Mes bottes ne feront pas trop d'écho dans ton couloir... Pas de bruit avec mes adieux (?)... Pas pour nous les moments perdus en attendant un certain au revoir...

Parce que j'ai la folie... Oui, j'ai la folie... Oui, c'est la folieeee... X 3

[neerajatsuki]

Et si parfois l'on fait des confessions, à qui les raconter ? Même le bon dieu nous a laissés tomber... Un autre endroit, une autre vie. Et oui, c'est une autre histoire... Mais à qui tout raconter ? Chez les ombres de la nuit ? Au petit matin, au petit gris (?), combien de crimes ont été commis ? Contre les mensonges, les soit-disant les lois du coeur, combien sont là à cause de la folie, parce qu'ils ont la folie... Ils ont la folie... Oui, c'est la folie... X 3

[sharon9192]

[mrbrydon63]

[mrbrydon63]

[wildhorse888]

3:34

[wildhorse888]

when the guitar or piano comes in on 3:38 its fucking MORE THAN GREAT.

the music make squeze my balls to the heart, its like you dieing and see all of your life sence the day you were born, passed in seconds... and the persons you will never see again.

[goducks20101]

Oui, c'est folie = Yes, it is folly. Maybe I'll translate it into english as an self-taught assignment. See you later = Abientot, Bientot = Later.

[Noodles37UK]

Burnell c'est Francais/ Angleterre. Please excuse my lousy French. BTW, stuff these fukkin lousy Vevo peripherals.

[Angusismyhero]

@Noodles37UK Oui, né sur l'Angleterre des parentes Francais. Mon Francais est lousy aussi, but I felt like joining in!

[Noodles37UK]

@Angusismyhero Cornwell was the Clint Eastwood of punk lol

[Padulas]

it reminds me of guns 'n roses - november rain

[ilianavass]

Anyone got the English translation?

Anyway, an absolutely great song by my favourite band (:

[fiifine]

@ilianavass Your vehicle doesnt seem to hold a lot of passengers. Can you? Do you want to receive me, without disturbing you My boots won't make so many echos in your corridor. No noise with my goodbye. Not for us the lost moments, waiting for an uncertain goodbye.

Because I've got "la folie" (madness), yes I've got "la folie", yes it's "la folie" (x 3)

And if sometimes, we make some confessions, to who can we tell them? Even God abandoned us Another place another life Oh yes, it's another story

[fiifine]

@ilianavass ... To who can we tell everything? To the night shadows? To the little morning, to the little grey

How many crimes were comitted? Against the lies and so-called the laws of heart. How many of them are here because of "la folie"? Because they have "la folie", they have la folie. It's "la folie" Yes it's la folieeee. (until the end of the song)

[ilianavass]

@fiifine Thank you so much :)



[ConLibNdpDemocrat]

@ilianavass

It's a tale about madness and insanity.

[oblongfan1]

fuck you emi and your cunt shit ads

[AbsintheColour]

These ads blow

[ekolke]

One of the all time great bands. Smart and moving lyrics. Incredible music. Just great!

[nobrakesukspeedway]

verse 2 appears to be missing from this video

[jakkenton]

@nobrakesukspeedway I believe this is the shorter radio edited version, the La Folie album version is longer at about 6mins. Cheers!

[nobrakesukspeedway]

coninued... And if sometimes we make confessions To tell them - even the good Lord has let us down Another place, another life Yep, that's another story But who always tell? In the shadows of the night? At dawn, the little gray How many crimes have been committed Against the lies and so-called laws of the heart How many are there because of the madness Because he has madness

[86TERRYMAC]

This song makes me sad but i dont know what JJ is singing and it still moves me.

[cassiopee70]

le plus frenchy des stranglers^^ super les stranglers

vive les Froggies

[retrotechnical]

After their biggest hit single to date (Golden Brown) - only The Stranglers could come out with a follow up like this - a song sung entirely in French about the radio friendly topic of cannibalism! Will we ever see this kind of maverick, musical mischief again?

[pafpafinyourface]

Oui, c 'est la folie. Magnifique!

[bainty666]

what the eff is he saying?

[nobrakesukspeedway]

@bainty666

see rough translation above

[schmads]

Anyone Parlez Le Frog??

[ReplicantePower]

I love 80's

[mumrah22]

not the best but stil;l a good tune

[ViceAgent]

I LOVE the Stranglers :D

[davej9859]

these guys are one of the best bands id say next to the likes of pink floyd, the who etc and yet id never herd of them until my dad took me to a gig in aberdeen. the raven is amazing!

[slyme1711]

there was once a student who loved his girlfreind so much, he ate her ! la folie !!

[gyugug]

the best stranglers tune in my humble opinion...

[richunclepelican]

Brilliant

[888edward888]

[leamlane36]

beuatiful

[cartoonfan1920s]

Yes, it is crazy! (Oui, c'est la folie) Thank you for posting, EMI! I hope to find this on vinyl sometime. Love all about it. It plays in my head a lot.

[burginstine]

lol me too

[aschlesinger]

Combien de crimes ont ete commis

Contre les mensonges et soi disant les lois du coeur

Combien sont la a cause de la folie

Parce qu'il ont la folie

[EdenEast18]

Je crois bien être autant fou qu'eux... je m'y reconnais dans ce texte.

[MyCallum09]

what it it all about ,love it all the same

[gasgas270]

Loved this..still do....fantastic.

[wayneleon100]

Brilliant song, very dark, powerful beat too. One of my favourite Stranglers tracks.

[Siezgur]

its sparta.

[westpenninewoman]

ceci est bon

[130fto]

Oh Hugh why did you leave. This could have been one of the greatest bands ever.

[Rawlinson18]

@130fto They were.

[HurinSteadfast]

It is one of the greatest bands ever.

[b2j31e5]

They never got above the radar in the USA because they were never promoted as they should have been...just as the group Madness was not promoted here either so they did not break in the USA but are stars everywhere else...

[Enquiringmind777]

Don't tell me jeff you don't like this one.??? lol

[jeffkodiac]

this very good my dear friend , also in french . Que demande le peuple ? lol

[pat2fruit]

Béatrice, le las vegas,vire 1984..........

[doctorfunkshock]

My favourite line of all stranglers songs

"mes bottes ne feront pas trop d'echos dans ta couloir"

[bloodgorged]

To put these official videos on youtube will send sales through the roof,once people discover them.

[mgb11271950]

I'll never understand why the Stranglers never got above the radar in the USA. They were a great band.

[almklit]

Look like gestapo

[noursnours06]

stupid

[Calibro9]

One of the best bands EVER! I love Stranglers (with Hugh)!

[NannyWhip]

Bought this when it came out a long time ago. Wasn't sure about it then but since have come to recognize it as one of their best. Cannabilism is a difficult subject but when set to this music becomes quite touching.

[MoveOverCasanova]

such a beautiful song, -- and another wonderful video.

the stranglers are incredible, so daringly brillant

[RedSaturne]

Tourné a Monmartre en + !

[HereIsTheSexPistolsX]

I love it! thanx for posting this=
