You can buy me a ticket on a runaway train
Hellbent for a wreck
Or hail me a taxi in downtown Cairo
Yes, I'll even risk my neck
On a jumbo Boeing going nowhere
Just don't you expect me
To ride your Cold Engine
That carries us downhill
Against our will
Give me Panama Katy
The painted lady of Abilene
With the most hotsy-totsy temper
That the world has ever seen
Man, she's feisty and Christ A'mighty
Katy sure can be mean
She'll love you to death or tear you to pieces
There's nothing in between
But she won't yawn
And turn it off and on
Like some machine
She ain't a Cold Engine
Carrying you downhill
Against your will
*****
We're going to slow
That engine down
We're going to throw
That engine to the ground
*****

MÉCANIQUE FROID
Achetez-moi un billet pour le train en fuite
Qui va droit dans le mur;
Jettez moi dans un taxi, centre ville Caire;
Je suis même prêt à jouer les durs
Dans un avion qui plonge, mais n'imaginez pas
que je vais devenir l'ésclave
de votre machine impitoyable
qui nous piège dans ses entraves.
La femme pour moi, c'est Panama Katy;
Elle enflamme tout Abilene avec ses charmes;
Une minute un éclair de feu brille dans ses yeux
et à l'instant d'après ils se remplissent de larmes;
Vous dites qu'elle est fougueuse? Oui, c'est vrai,
sa colère peut faire trembler un gendarme;
Katy s'allume par combustion spontané
et elle n'est pas équipée d'une sonnette d'alarme;
La demoiselle n'a rien de commun avec cette machine implacable
qui nous programme et nous désarme.
Nous allons freiner
La mécanique froide d'enfer
Nous allons jeter
Cette maudite mécanique par terre

Governor Clay France
Governor Clay is a songwriter born in Alabama. His baptism by fire happened at the Columbia Tavern, a bar near the Denver railroad yards, in 1967. Onstage Governor Clay makes himself at home: a chair, a table, a few books. He hangs a Mexican mask on his hatrack and performs storytelling songs. He likes to keep the crowd small, and will distribute wine bottles just to get everybody loosened up. ... more
