Biography

American New Wave rock group from Boston, Massachusetts. Formed in 1976. Released their first single and LP two years later. Initially a guitar-driven rock act with some progressive keyboard accompaniment, after their first album they rapidly moved toward a heavily synth-based, pop-rock sound, then disbanded in 1988. Line-up: [a=Ric Ocasek] (vocals, guitar), [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/365116-Benjamin-Orr?noanv=1]Benjamin Orr[/url] (vocals, bass), [a=Elliot Easton] (guitar), [a=Greg Hawkes] (keyboards, sax, guitar) and [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/David+Robinson+(3)]David Robinson[/url] (drums). The Cars were one of the most successful American New Wave bands to emerge in the late 1970s, and in the ensuing decade the band racked up a string of platinum albums and Top 40 singles. In 2006, Greg Hawkes and Elliot Easton, together with [a=Todd Rundgren] and [a=Kasim Sulton] (both of [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Utopia+(5)]Utopia[/url]) and [a=Prairie Prince] (formerly of [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Tubes,+The]The Tubes[/url]) formed [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/697629-The-New-Cars]The New Cars[/url] and played mainly original Cars material live. In 2011 The Cars (without Benjamin Orr who had passed away on October 4, 2000) released a new album and went on tour again with Greg Hawkes taking over on bass and Ric Ocasek as sole lead singer. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, and reunited once more to perform at the induction ceremony. Ric Ocasek passed away on September 15, 2019.

LYRICS

Paroles de la chanson Up And Down par The Cars
do you have to be so hard to get
especially with those emerald eyes
you might have been a neon lover
but you didn't have to advertise
well come on, well come on
you might have been a crackshot shooter
hung up on your figurine
under the cold and darkly sky
you're the only light I've seen
well come on, well come on
and it happens everytime
i'm still hanging on the line
don't want to go up and down

you don't have to be so touch
i'll tell you when I've had enough
you don't have to reek with charm
you won't have to twist my arm
well come on, well come on
well come on, well come on
and it happens everytime
i'm still hanging on the line
don't want to go up and down
