American Radio in homes and bars
It's music to my ears in a car
Pop radio [ABBA, Roxy, T-Rex]
My seatbelt's fastened tight, I secure
Both upon the wheel, My life's insured
If feeling low, driving's the cure
Oh ah oh oh ah
Oh ah oh oh ah
Oh ah oh oh ah

1) This IMHO mean 'S-Kurve', because in the french lyrics it is
'virage en S' which means 'S turn' in english. the translator had
a bad dictionary or got the meaning of german 'Spiralkurve' wrong.
German means the same as english 'spiral' which is something
different.
2) This one describes which use iodine gas to produce light. They're
often used as car headlights. It could refer to the color of the
of cars in France, which 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 french accent while speaking german doesn't give it
clearly. :-)
There are big to the french lyrics, many of the french
lines translate to the same english words. At first these seemed
quite meaningless to me, but IMHO they describe *great* the
and things you have in your head, when you're at night.
