Sigh.
For the 1.3 people who might be interested, here are the actual lyrics:
I am the Blues
Long black car through the empty park
Feel you like a rainbow in the dark
I got a million dollars and a broken heart
Someone out there could use
They know my name, the thieves and louts
They got no soul, just techno and house
And you're not even as old as my tattoos
I am the Blues
I am the Blues
I talk real sweet, I talk real slow
I'm the voice you've loved on the radio
A pirate with a breast of gold
That stuff makes slaves get bought and sold
Help me, help me realise
I just forgot the colour of my own eyes
All we do is hurt and break and bruise
I am the Blues
I am the Blues
I'm as blue as the Côte d'Azur
And both of us are not so pure
Do I still belong to her?
Aidez-moi, aidez-moi, I can't choose
I am the Blues
Falling through the cracks
The ticker tape and tax
Getting up the back of the music whores and hacks
I stood up to dance
I lost my balance
But my faith in France
Some things you can't lose
I am the Blues, oh I am the Blues
I am the Blues, I am the Blues
I am the Blues, oh I am the Blues
I am the Blues
For those who haven't a clue, here's Wikepedia's blurb on Johnny Hallyday. Within the context of his music and career, the lyrics are quite apt, IMO:
"An icon in the French-speaking world since the beginning of his career, some consider him the French equivalent of Elvis Presley. He has had a 45-year career in music and is one of France's biggest stars. He has completed 400 tours, had 18 platinum albums, performed in front of 15 million people, and sold 100 million records."
(He also recently left France for Switzerland as a protest against France's high tax rates. Perhaps he and Bono bonded over this, LOL!)
I think it's cool that he's doing this song, and that Bono wrote it.

Funny, because he wrote it, but it doesn't seem likely that he'd sing something so audacious as, "I am the blues" about himself. Who knows...It's still a great song though.
