Pop radio stars [ABBA, Roxy,
My seatbelt's fastened tight, I feel
Both hands the wheel, My life's insured

1) This should IMHO mean 'S-Kurve', in the french lyrics it is
'virage en S' which 'S turn' in english. IMHO the translator had
a bad dictionary or got the meaning of german 'Spiralkurve' wrong.
German 'Spirale' the same 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 also refer to the of the
of cars in France, which use yellow headlights.
3) This is a road name. route 8
4) Could be 'Oben Lichter', which 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, many of the
lines translate to the english words. At first these words seemed
quite meaningless to me, but IMHO they describe *great* the
and things you have in head, when you're driving at night.
