1982 - Kim Wilde, de passage chez Michel Drucker.
Autant il y a des fois (cf.Spectreman) où je suis plutôt heureux d'avoir oublié. Sur bien d'autres souvenirs j'ai fait de même, et à bien y regarder je vais faire plus attention avant de reposter ces images télévisuantes qui ont marquées ma jeunesse, faites mon éducation. Cependant, Cambodia de kim Wilde, je m'en sers souvent. Par exemple, il vous est tous arrivé un jour ou l'autre d'avoir une chanson de Abba dans la tête toute la journée sous le prétexte à peine avouable d'avoir été réveillé par la radio étrangement réglée sur Nostalgie... ça nous arrive à tous n'ayez pas honte. Et bien dans ce cas très précis, je pense à Cambodia et après j'ai Kim Wilde dans la tête.
Je ne connaissais pas les paroles à l'époque, et maintenant je les mets ici. Ça m'avait toujours paru être une chanson triste. Depuis j'ai grandi et je sais pourquoi les chansons d'amour sont toujours triste, il n'y a que lorsqu'on est enfant que ça nous semble paradoxale sans connaître le mot.

Written by ricky & marty wilde
Well he was thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didnt wonder then
She didnt think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldnt say too much
But it would be alright
He didnt need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to cambodia
And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess shell never know
What got inside his soul
She couldnt make it out
Just couldnt take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
And as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside cambodia
But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - dont cry now - no tears now
And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She wont see his face again
Well he was thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didnt wonder then
She didnt think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldnt say too much
But it would be alright
He didnt need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to cambodia
And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess shell never know
What got inside his soul
She couldnt make it out
Just couldnt take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
And as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside cambodia
But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - dont cry now - no tears now
And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She wont see his face again
