'The city walls are all pulled down,
The dust, a smoke screen all around,
See faces ploughed,
like fields that once gave no resistance...'

"A Sort of Homecoming" by U2.
Only know it because of a cover band called "Rattle and Hum" also known as "Straddle and *um"

I cheated (used another search engine)
A Sort of Homecoming - U2
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal - desire time
And your earth moves beneath your own dream landscape
Oh, oh - on borderland we run
I'll be there - I'll be there tonight
A highroad, a highroad out from here
The city walls are all come down
The dust a smoke screen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill as the valleys explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own
Oh, oh - on borderland we run
And still we run - we run and don't look back
I'll be there - I'll be there
Tonight, tonight
The wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb blast lightning waltz
No spoken words - just a scream
Tonight we'll a bridge across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again tonight
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
Oh, don't sorrow - no, don't weep
For tonight, at last, I am coming home
I am coming home

i'm greater familiar with francophone bands from Quebec rather than from France, consequently David's hyperlinks would be greater clever. yet once you like french rock greater often than no longer: Noir Desir, Vilain Pingouin, Banlieue Rouge, Les Parfaits Salauds r sturdy ones to start with .. albeit some are + punk than rock. For solo singers, i will propose Paul Piche, Richard Seguin, Jean Leloup, Jean-Jacques Goldman ..
