Pop radio stars [ABBA, Roxy,
My seatbelt's fastened tight, I feel
Both upon the wheel, My life's insured
If you're feeling low, driving's the

1) should IMHO mean 'S-Kurve', because in the french lyrics it is
'virage en S' which means 'S turn' in english. the translator had
either a bad dictionary or got the meaning of 'Spiralkurve' wrong.
German 'Spirale' means the as english 'spiral' which is something
different.
2) This one describes lamps which use iodine gas to produce light.
often used as car headlights. It could refer to the color of the
headlights of cars in France, use yellow headlights.
3) This is a road name. Europa 8
4) Could also be 'Oben Lichter', means the same. I never really figured
out, because Ivan's french accent while speaking doesn't give it
clearly. :-)
There are big similarities to the french lyrics, of the french
lines translate to the same english words. At first these words
quite meaningless to me, but IMHO describe *great* the feelings
and things you have in head, when you're driving at night.
