Les Villes Hostiles
Michel Sardou Lyrics
C'était mon quartier autrefois
Plus rien n'existe tout a changé
Meme ma rue je ne la retrouve plus
On a dû reconstruire dessus.
Des fenetres aveugles un peu partout
Derrière lesquelles on s'abrutit
Un verre de rouge et on oublie.
L'amour réduit à un seul geste.
Meme pas l'amour, ce qu'il en reste.
Le grand balai des banlieusards
La bousculade sur les trottoirs
Et pas un mot n'est échangé
Y'a ces cités
Y'a ces cités maudites
Que tout l'monde veut quitter
Y'a ces cités
Et puis les villes hostiles
Hostiles et habitées
Ces villes sont des ruines neuves
Fardées comme des voitures volées.
Les solitudes on n'les compte plus
Elles s'agglutinent sous les feux rouges.
Quand un homme tombe, personne ne bouge.
On suit le mouvement des cohues.
Personne ne fait plus attention
Un homme assis avec son chien
Je passe devant et je ne vois rien.
Y'a ces cités
Y'a ces cités maudites
Que tout l'monde veut quitter
Y'a ces cités
Et puis les villes hostiles
Hostiles et habitées
Ces villes sont des ruines neuves
Fardées comme des voitures volées.
Y'a ces citées
Toutes ces cités maudites
Que tout l'monde veut quitter
Y'a ces cités
Et puis les villes hostiles
Hostiles et habitées
Ces villes sont des ruines neuves
Fardées comme des voitures volées.

Michel Sardou (born January 26, 1947) is a French singer.
He was born in Paris, the son of Fernand Sardou and Jackie Rollin (Jackie Sardou). Contrary to what has been written at the beginning of his career, he is not the grandson of the dramatist Victorien Sardou.
He is known for songs dealing with various social and political issues, such as the rights of women in Islamic countries, clerical celibacy and colonialism.

He is known for songs dealing with various social and political issues, such as the rights of women in Islamic countries, clerical celibacy and colonialism. Another sometimes controversial theme found in some of his songs ("Les Ricains," for example) is respect and support for the culture and foreign policies of the United States. Another notable fact about his career is that he has focused his full attention on his homeland, ignoring the prospect of an international audience, although his 1981 single "Les lacs du Connemara" did manage to become a big international hit. A number of his hit songs were written in collaboration with Jacques Revaux, a few others (most notably "En chantant") with Italian singer Toto Cutugno.
Even in the 21st century, Michel Sardou remains immensely popular in France, selling out 18 consecutive dates at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in 2001, while his 2004 album "Du plaisir" went straight to the no. 1 spot on the French album charts.
He has been married three times, first to a French dancer, then to Babette (the mother of his children) and lastly to an lifelong friend who edits the French version of Vogue.
