Would Appreciate Some Help Translating French Song Lyrics Into English :)
There's this song that I'm absolutely in love with by Christine & The Queens called 'Tilted' and, the band being natives from France, there are some beautifully-sung French lyrics. I am interested to know the translation but I can't find it anywhere and, as you know, Google Translate isn't always so accurate when it comes to sentences. If you wouldn't mind, I'd be really grateful to any French speakers who would translate the following for me (many thanks :)):

Nous et la man on est de sortie
Pire qu'une simple moitié on compte à demi-demi
Pile sur un des bas côtés comme des origamis
Le bras tendu paraît cassé tout n'est qu'épis et éclis
Ces enfants bizarres
Crachés dehors comme par hasard
Cachant l'effort dans le griffoir
Et une creepy song en étendard qui fait

A person called Dave did the translation before :
Nous et la man on est de sortie - Us and the man are out there
Pire qu'une simple moitié - Worse than a simple other half
On compte à demi-demi - We count as half & half
Pile sur un des bas côtés - Right on one of the lower sides
Comme des origamis - Like origamis
Le bras tendu paraît cassé - The outstretched arm seemed broken
Tout n'est qu'épis et éclis - Not everything is just obliques and splints

Ces enfants bizarres - These odd kids
Crachés dehors comme par hasard - Spewed out by chance
Cachant l'effort dans le griffoir - Hiding their effort at the scratching post
Et une creepy song en étendard - And a standard creepy song
Qui fait : - Goes like this
