Rouleuses et rouleurs, venez dérouler quelques kilomètres. Nous avons renoué avec les promenades autour d'Uzès. Il s'agit d'itinéraires plutôt improvisés, ludiques, menant habituellement à un verre d'alcool ou à un pique-nique, et systématiquement dénués de tout intérêt sportif.

Tom Traubert's Blues (Tom Waits 1976) Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did Got what I paid for now See ya tomorrow, hey Frank can I borrow A couple of bucks from you? To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley And tired of all these soldiers here No one speaks English and everything's broken And my Stacys are soaking wet To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking A lot they can do for me I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open And I'm down on my knees tonight Old Bushmill's I staggered, you buried the dagger Your silhouette window light To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her And the one-armed bandit knows And the maverick Chinaman and the cold-blooded signs And the girls down by the strip-tease shows Go, waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
No, I don't want your sympathy The fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories They want a piece of the action anyhow Go, waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
And you can ask any sailor and the keys from the jailor And the old men in wheelchairs know That Matilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred And she follows wherever you may go Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace And a wound that will never heal No prima donna, the perfume is on An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey And goodnight to the street sweepers The night watchman flame keepers and goodnight to Matilda too
— Tom Waits, 1976
Now when I was a young lad I carried me pack And I lived the free life of the rover. From the Murray's green banks, to the dusty outback While I waltzed my Matilda all over. Then in 1915, my country said, 'Son, It's time you stop ramblin', there's work to be done.' So they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun, And they marched me away to the war.
And the band played 'Waltzing Matilda,' As the ship pulled away from the quay, Amidst the songs and the cheers, the flag waving, and tears, We sailed off for Gallipoli.
And how well I remember that terrible day, How our blood stained the sand we call Suvla Bay We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter.
The big Turkish shell caught me arse over head, And when I woke up in my hospital bed And saw what it had done, well, I wished I was dead Never knew there was worse things than dying.
So I'll go no more 'Waltzing Matilda,' or through the green bush bars and wide For to hunt and tent peg a man needs both legs, No more 'Waltzing Matilda' for me.
They gathered the injured, the wounded, the maimed, And they shipped us all back to Australia. The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane, Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla.
And as our ship sailed into Circular Quay, I looked at the place where me legs used to be, And thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me, To mourn, and to grieve, and to pity.
And the band played "Waltzing Matilda" As they wheeled us down the gangway. And nobody cheered, they just stood and stared. And they all turned their faces away.
And the band still plays 'Waltzing Matilda,' And the young men still answer the call, But as year follows year, those old men disappear Someday, no one will march there at all.
Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda Who'll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me And their ghosts may be heard as you pass the Billabong Who'll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me ?
