Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way;
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
A very Merry Christmas to you




Covered by a lot of artists, like Celine Dion and Jessica Simpson, recently, this is for a lot of people the ultimate Christmas Song. With this classic carol, I wish all the readers of my blog happy holidays.

Bobby Brown - Frank Zappa

Hey there, people, Im bobby brown
They say Im the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie
Here I am at a famous school
Im dressin sharp n im
Actin cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work n maybe later Ill rape her

Oh God I am the american dream
I do not think Im too extreme
An Im a handsome sonofabitch
Im gonna get a good job n be real rich

(get a good
Get a good
Get a good
Get a good job)

Womens liberation
Came creepin across the nation
I tell you people I was not ready
When I fucked this dyke by the name of freddie
She made a little speech then,
Aw, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess its still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick

Oh God I am the american dream
But now I smell like vaseline
An Im a miserable sonofabitch
Am I a boy or a lady...i dont know which

(I wonder wonder
Wonder wonder)

So I went out n bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but Im still kinda cute
Got a job doin radio promo
An none of the jocks can even tell Im a homo
Eventually me n a friend
Sorta drifted along into s&m
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
long as I gets a little golden shower

Oh God I am the american dream
With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream
An Ill do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin, thank you, fred!
Oh god, oh god, Im so fantastic!
Thanks to freddie, Im a sexual spastic
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, Im goin down,
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, Im goin down, etc.

It's Frank Zappa's bithday today: 67 years. Unfortunately he died of cancer in 1993. This is the first song I ever heard of Frank Zappa. Zappa was a multitalented musical genius, who composed, produced, performed and marketed his music. He has a huge discography and is an infleunce to a lot of young artists. There is a huge community that keeps Frank Zappa's spirit alive.

Carla Bruni - Juste Une Minute

Quand j'aurais tout compris tout vécu d'ici bas,
Quand je serais si vieille que je n'voudrais plus d'moi,
Quand la peau de ma vie sera creusée route et de traces et de peines et de rires et de doutes ,
alors je demanderais juste encore un minute.

Quand il n'y aura plus rien qui chavire et qui blesse,
Et quand même les chagrins auront l'air d'une caresse,
Quand je verrai ma mort juste au pied de mon lit
Que j'la varrai sourire de ma si petite vie
Je lui dirai "écoute laisse moi juste une minute"
Juste encore une minute,
juste encore une minute
Pour me faire une beauté ou pour une cigarette
Juste encore une minute,juste encore une minute
Pour un dernier frisson ou pour un dernier geste
Juste encore une minute,juste encore une minute
Pour ranger les souv'nirs avant le grand hiver
Juste encore une minute,
Sans motif et sans but...

Puisque ma vie n'est rien alors je la veux toute,
Toute entière,tout à fait et dans toutes ses déroutes,
Puisque ma vie n'est rien alors j'en redemande,
je veux qu'on m'en rajoute,
Soixantes petites secondes pour ma dernière minute.




A wonderful song by French-Italian topmodel and singer songwriter Carla Bruni. She has a kind of grained voice that makes her sound funique. She released two CD's: "Quelqu'un m' a dit" and "Lost promises". Next to the catwalk, she became famous for having affairs with stars like Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Donald Trump, Kevin Costner and Vincent Pérez.
A few days ago, she was photographed alongside Mr. Sarkozy, the French president, during a visit in Disneyland Paris.
Watch the clip and a live perfomance of the song. Her father was former shareholder of the Pirelli holding.

Waldeck - Make My Day

You know how to turn me on,
oh you got it going on,
baby you can make my day.

Come on, get down with me,
we can dance the night away,
baby, you can make my day.

Nothing's going to stop us now,
we can get down anyhow,
come on, baby make my day.

Come on, come on put the radio on,
turn it up; the neighbour's gone,
you can make my day.

You know how to turn me on, oh you got it going on
baby you can make my day.

Come on, come on, put the radio on,
turn it up; the neighbour's gone,
you can make my day.
Come on, come on put the radio on,
turn it up; the neighbour's gone,
you can make my day!

Delerium Silence

Give me release
witness me
I am outside
give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

Passion chokes the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

I can't help this longing
comfort me
I can't hold it all in
if you won't let me

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

I have seen you
in this white wave
you are silent
you are breathing
in this white wave
I am free

One of the biggest dance anthems of the latest years, released by Delerium. Delerium is a band, started as a side project for Front Line Assembly. However they are quite influential, some people blame them for being Front 242 imitators. Delerium is a Vancouver based music band, bringing different styles of music, from ambient to pop.
Silence remixed by several mixmasters. The remix of Silence by DJ Tiesto is probably the best known. The Airscape remix won the 2002 Dance Dance Revolution Extreme2 award. My personal favourite is Fade's sanctuary remix. Sarah almost never performs this live, but did in once in Amsterdam.
The vocals are performed by Sarah McLachlan, a Canadian singer/songwriter with an angelic voice.

Rocket 88 - Jacke Delton and his Delta Cats

You may have heard of jalopies,
You heard the noise they make,
Let me introduce you to my Rocket '88.
Yes it's great, just won't wait,
Everybody likes my Rocket '88.
Gals will ride in style,
Movin' all along.

(Guitar solo, leading into steel guitar solo.)

V-8 motor and this modern design,
My convertible top and the gals don't mind
Sportin' with me, ridin' all around town for joy.
(Spoken) -- Blow your horn, Rocket, blow your horn!

(Horn sound effect leading into guitar solo.)

Step in my Rocket and-a don't be late,
We're pullin' out about a half-past-eight.
Goin' on the corner and-a havin' some fun,
Takin' my Rocket on a long, hot run.
Ooh, goin' out,
Oozin' and cruisin' along.

(Guitar solo.)

Now that you've ridden in my Rocket '88,
I'll be around every night about eight.
You know it's great, don't be late,
Everybody likes my Rocket '88.
Gals will ride in style,
Movin' all along.

Today, Ike Turner died. Ike Turner discovered Tina Turner and married her. Tina left her husband Ike in 1976, as a result of being hitted by him. Ike admits to have punched Tina, but never beated. The movie What's Love Got To Do With It, tells the story of their lives.
Since the divorce, she became a world star and Ike got on drugs. He still toured, but never as succesful as his former wife Tina.
Ike Turner was married 14 times in his life.
Ike will be remebered certainly for his background vocals on 'Proud Mary', a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover. Apart from that particular song, the first rock and roll song ever is credited to Ike Turner. Her recorded the song Rocket 88, sang by Jackie Delton and his Delta Cats. Rocket 88 is a song about an Oldsmobile, with a V8 motor.
His last memories are collected on a dedicated site.

Long term soul Diva Aretha Franklin at her best, with this floorfiller. She performed it live on the Letterman Show.
She started her career at the side of her two sisters. When she released Respect on the Atlantic Records label, she hitted the charts. Long before Mr Fingers released his Jack, she sang in 1968 about the House That Jack Built. The B-Side of that record became more famous than the A-side: I say a little prayer.

Jeff Buckley - Everybody Here Wants You.

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile,
coffee smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss, a singing smile,
coffe smell and lilac skin, your flame in me.
I'm only here for this moment.

I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I'll be waiting right here just to show you

How our love will blow it all away.
Such a thing of wonder in this crowd,
I'm a stranger in this town, you're free with me.
And our eyes locked in downcast love, I sit here proud,
Even now you're undressed in your dreams with me.
I'm only here for this moment.

I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away.

I know the tears we cried have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
There's nothing in our way, my love

Don't you see, don't you see?
Don't you see, don't you see?
You're just the torch to put the flame
to all our guilt and shame,
And I'll rise like an ember in your name.
I know, I know,

I know everybody here wants you.
I know everybody here thinks he needs you.
I'll be waiting right here just to show you
Let me show that love can rise, rise just like
embers.

(While "I know everybody here wants you." Repeats)
Love can taste like the wine of the ages, baby.
And I know they all look so good from a distance,
But I tell you I'm the one.
I know everybody here will thinks he needs you,
thinks he needs you
And I'll be waiting right here just to show you.

A smooth song by Jeff Buckley, posthumous released in 1998 on the album Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk. The song is written for his girlfriend Joan Wasser. You can watch the original Sony clip on Youtube.

Lyrics of Leaving by Anne Clark

Remember me for what I was
Not as I am now
I'll merge into the shadows
I'll disappear into the rain

Remember me for what I was
Not as you see me now
I'll walk out into tomorrow
I'll melt into the sun

Remember me for what I was
A glance in your direction at the right time
A smile breaking into a crescent moon
A word of reassurance

I'll protect myself
Against the cold lash of tongues and lies
I'll blend in with the crowd
I'll disperse into the stream
I'll fade into the darkness
I'll turn and walk away

Remember me for what I was
As one world breaks in two
I'll follow my own stricts
I'll forge another path

Remember me for what I was
Not what I couldn't be
Remember me for what I was
And shall never be again


An old and somewhat forgotten, yet beautiful, song of the late eighties by Anne Clark.

Everytime - Lustral

Can you hear me
Talking in my mind
I can feel you
You're with me all the time
Everytime I close my eyes
I see your face
Everytime I close my eyes
I see your face
There's a warm sky
Covering the night
In the darkness
I only see the night
Everytime I close my eyes
I see your face
Everytime I close my eyes
I see your face
When I'm lonely
Your voice is in my head
And my memory feeds my soul
With all the things you've said
Everytime I close my eyes
I see your face
Everytime I close my eyes
I see your face
Everytime I close my eyes
I see your face

Lustral is the name of remixer and producer duo Stephen Jones and Rick Sommonds. Lustral is a player for quite some time in the dance scene. Everytime is their first release and one of their most known, and most remixed songs. The song was released on the progressive Hooj Choons label. The initial release was a 12" maxi with Everytime - Nalin & Kane remix and the original everytime. Two years later, in 1999, a Way out West remix of the instant classic was released. One of the lesser known, yet beautiful, mixes is this Red Jerry's mix, a blunted drum and bass tune as base.

Need You Tonight - INXS

It's so strange
How my life's changed
I know nothing
About the people that I touched

Heard a story
It sounded easy
If you don't care
Then you're lying through your teeth

I was shook up
Intoxicated
Drank the juices
Of the possibilities

I'm so alive

If you told me
Nothing's perfect
Hearts are broken
Nothing's free

I could show you
Why it's worth it
That's the way that it's meant to be

It's too strange
How your life's changed
You know nothing
About the people that you've touched

Someone told me
Life is easy
Hearts were bleeding and breaking
They were lying through their teeth

If you told me
Nothing's perfect
Hearts are broken
Nothing's free

I will show you
Why it's worth it
And that's the way that it's meant to be

If you told me
Nothing's perfect
Hearts are broken
Nothing's free

I could show you
Why it's worth it
That's the way that it's meant to be

Heard a story
It sounded easy
Got a new skin and
I'm lying through my teeth
I was shook up
Intoxicated
I drank the juices of the possibilities

Of the possibilities

Michael Kelland Hutchence left this earth exact 10 years ago. His last recorded song was 'Possibilities'. A very triphopesque song, and in my opinion one of his masterpieces. You can hear the full official version on his official site. Danny Saber, who plays bass and keyboard in INXS, was co-writer of lyrics and music of this song. His sister Tina maintains a website in memory of her beloved brother Michael. His most popular song, Suicide Blonde, was written for Kylie Minogue. They played an awesome live version of Suicide Blonde on Jools Holland in 1994. Tall Paul made a blasting dance tune on the Decode label and used samples of "Never Tear Us Apart". Never Tear Us Apart was played on Michael Hutchences funeral.

Uninvited by Alanis Morissette

Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight


Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepard meet shepard
But you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight


Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight


I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate

The original song, by Alanis Morissette in 1998. Performing the song live with her haunting voice. Short after this release there was a white label trance version of this song. The trance remix of uninvited had even more anger than the original. This summer The Freemasons released a new version with the vocals of Bailey Tzuke. On the same Promo release you can find other mixes of the song, including the WAWA and Baliey & Rosko remix. The Freemasons released two versions. The initial Bailey Tzuke vocal version and a release which featured the vocals from Alanis Morissette's orignal Uninvited.

Ghost - Deepsky

I was a ghost before you came
I was a slave but then I changed
And I will take the good and bad from many
When I am a slave to this again
So leave me alone
Before the strain
Of listening to me
Becomes more
Than you can bear
Or maybe this time we will be fine
Or else tomorrow
Will be lost

I feel you calling me when I am alone
I feel you calling me it's keeping me up
I wanna be with you now

It keeping me
It's keeping me up

There was a force I swear
I thought it d take me out
And there was a chance that we could go so far
As I look in your eyes
I know that you say
No war no war no more
No more battles to fight in this life

I feel you calling me when I'm alone
I feel you calling me
It's keeping me up
I wanna be with you now
I feel you calling me when I'm alone
Hot nights and moonlight it's keeping me up
I gotta be with you now

Tell me you'll wait till then to find
What races and grates before we explode
And maybe this time we will be fine
And our tomorrow
It won't be lost within this lie

I swear.

I feel you calling me when I'm alone
I feel you calling me
It's keeping me up
I wanna be with you now
I feel you calling me when I'm alone
Hot nights and moonlight it's keeping me up
I gotta be with you now

The original mix with featured vocals from Jes Brieden, is to be watched on Youtube. Check out the MySpace profile of Deepsky. I think the Filo & Peri mix rocks more than the original. The Joe Bermudez & Klubjumbers edit is too soft, compared to the original.

Sadeness

Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, Amen

Attollite portas, principes, vestras
et elevamini, portae aeternales
et introibit rex gloriae
Qius est iste Rex glorie?

Sade dit moi

Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, Amen

Sade dit moi
qu'est ce que tu vas chercher ?
le bien par le mal
la vertu par le vice
Sade dit moi pourquoi l' 'evangile du mal ?
quelle est ta religion ou` sont tes fide`les ?
Si tu es contre Dieu, tu es contre l'homme
.
Sade dit moi pourquoi le sang pour le plaisir ?
Le plaisir sans l'amour.
N'y a t'il plus de sentiment dans le culte de l'homme ?
.
Sade es-tu diabolique ou divin?

The famous song by Enigma, the band from Michael Cretu. Vocals are from his wife, Sandra Cretu. Probably the first 'lounge' song, as we know lounge today: electronically easy listening. They released several videoclips for this song: watch the first on Youtube. The Masters of Chant series, by Gregorian is probably inspired by the popularity of this song.

Zanna

I've gone up and down
from truth to doubt,
and now that you're far gone
I cast about

the ship is lost, untied
because I know you lied
the way you're so unclear
without a love to stear

every chance I take
takes more and more
things get lost or break
without a more

the ship is lost, untied
because I know you lied
the way you're so unclear
without a love to stear

every place I go
I know you will
follow me and so
I wait and still

the ship is lost and untied
because I know you lied
the way you're so unclear
without a love to stear


One of the most haunting Belgian songs of the 80's. Anna Domino is an American vocalist, who stayed in Belgium in the eighties. Altough she has worked with several big names such as Depeche Mode, Marc Moulin, ..., we will remember her for this song, written by Luc van Acker. You can listen to a small part (in .ram format) here.
The song was recently used in a film by Felix van Groeningen, called Steve+Sky.

Maria Nayler - Angry Skies

someday no day
its all right?
its all day.

theres is price to pay
for the mistakes you make
to discover what you do
it will always come back to you
i couldn't see it before
hiding behind closed doors
when you step outside yourself
and with the face of someone else

breaking your fall from grace
killing this empty space
like the thorn in your side
it puts the dent in your pride
no one believes you now
it caught up with you somehow
and you wonder what your feeling
will it never be the same?

in the moment of madness
under your angry skies
you are not what you feel
this is insanity
from the shadows
of darken, the of depths of your angels eyes
knowing nothing is real
this is insanity

from the shadows
of darken, the of depths of your angels eyes
knowing nothing is real
this is insanity

in the moment of madness
under your angry skies
you are not what you feel
this is insanity
from the shadows
of darken, the of depths of your angels eyes
knowing nothing is real
this is insanity

someday no day
its all right its all day
in the moment of madness
under your angry skies
you are not what you feel
this is insanity
from the shadows
of darken, the of depths of your angels eyes
knowing nothing is real
this is insanity


from the shadows
of darken, the of depths of your angels eyes
knowing nothing is real
this is insanity

someday no day
its all right its all day
in the moment of madness
under your angry skies
you are not what you feel
this is insanity
from the shadows
of darken, the of depths of your angels eyes
knowing nothing is real
this is insanity

Starin' Through My Rear View Mirror

[Tupac]
Staring at the world through my rearview
Just looking back at the world, from another level yaknowhatImean?
Starin...

Multiple gunshots fill the block, the fun stops
Niggaz is callin cops, people shot, nobody stop
I wonder when the world stopped caring last night
Two kids shot while the whole block staring
I will never understand this society, first they try
to murder me, then they lie to me, product of a dying breed
All my homies trying weed, now the little baby's
crazed raised off Hennesey, tell me will my enemies
flee when they see me, believe me
Even Thugs gotta learn to take it easy, listen
Through the intermissions search your heart for a plan
and we turnin Bad Boys to grown men, it's on again
I give a holla to my niggaz in the darkest corners
Roll a perfect blunt, and let me spark it for ya
One love from a thug nigga rollin with a posse
full of paranoid drug dealers, to the end my friend

I'm seein nuttin but my dreams comin true
While I'm starin at the world through my rearview (see)
[repeat 2X]

(They got me) starin at the world through my rearview
Go on baby scream to God, he can't hear you
I can feel your heart beatin fast cause it's time to die (we)
Gettin high, watchin time fly, and all my motherfuckers
[repeat 2X]

[E.D.I.]
Now you see him, now you don't, some niggaz
be here for the moment, and then they gone, what happened to em?
Well let's see, it seems to be a mystery
But all I know I never let the money get to me
Stay down like the, truest
Thug Life until I check out this bitch, I thought you knew this
Who is, gonna catch me when I fall or even care to
While you thinkin I see you lost up in my rearview
Half you, is down with them Outlawz
Outcast, left far, I'm through like southpaws
But still we keep mashin til our dreams come through
Starin at the world through my rearview

[Tupac]

Your Song - Elton John


It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Elton John's 'Your Song' appeared on his second album, Elton John in 1970. The lyrics are written by Bernie Taupin, the music by Elton John. See the videoclip on Youtube.
He performed it live with Ronan Keating, watch the performance. Kermit has his version of the Elton John's classic. Recently The Streets covered the song in a very touchy way, quite similar to Kermit's version.

Gimme Shelter

oh, see the storm is threatening
my very life today
if i don't get some shelter
yeah, i'm gonna fade away

war, children
it's just a kiss away
it's just a kiss away
yeah

oh, see the fire is sweeping
down through the streets today
burning like a bright red carpet
another fool who lost the way

rape.
murder.
it's just a kiss away
it's just a kiss away
yeah
love, children
it's just a shot away
it's just a shot away
love, sisters

Newton Faulkner - Dream Catch Me

Everytime, i close my eyes

It's you, and I know now

Who I am.. yea yea yea
And I know now!

There's a place I go
When I'm alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I want to be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I'm falling

That's where I'm going
Where are you going?
Hold it close won't let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all

You do so much
And you don't know, it's true
And I know now
Who I am, yea yea yea
And I know now!

There's a place I go
When I'm alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I'm falling

That's where I'm going
Where are you going?
Hold it close won't let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all

See you as a mountain
A fountain of God
See you as as a descant soul
In the setting sun
You as the sound
As the silence is gone

There's a place I go
When I'm alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot belive I'm falling

There's a place I go
When I'm alone
Do anything I want
Be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I'm falling

That's where I'm going
Where are you going?
Hold it close won't let this go

Dream catch me, yea
Dream catch me when I fall
Or else I won't come back at all

Lena

Recall the day, remember the place
Betraying a girl is easy or so I thought
Untamed you keep me hanging on
Bewitched the love I feel for Lena

Girl since you whispered your name
It just keeps hanging in my brain
I tried to ignore it for too many years
All those times it echoed in my head

Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Feel this melody (Lena Lena)
Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Hear that voice in me (Lena Lena)

The name of a girl, this name for a song
The song is hanging on the name of the girl
Only for you I have broken this chain
Oh, before I die, you will fix the man

Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Feel this melody (Lena Lena)
Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Hear that voice in me

Schöne Alfenfee, zwei Sterren in der Nacht
Zwischen Bergen über Strömen ich höre dein lachen
Umkranste Edelweiss, drei Blumen in das Feld
Du bist mein Kerker und mein Himmelreich

Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Feel this melody
Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Hear that voice in me

Recall the day, remember the place
Betraying a girl or so I thought
Untamed you keep me hanging on
Bewitched the love I feel for Lena Lena

Untamed you keep me hanging on
Bewitched the love I feel for Lena

Recall the day, remember the place
Betraying a girl or so I thought
Untamed you keep me hanging on
Bewitched the love I feel for Lena

Recall the day, remember the place
Betraying a girl or so I thought
Untamed you keep me hanging on
Bewitched the love I feel for Lena Lena

Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Feel this melody (Lena Lena)
Oh yo ho Lena (Lena Lena)
Hear that voice in me
(Lena Lena, Lena Lena, Lena Lena)
(Lena Lena, Lena Lena, Lena Lena)

Mourir à plusieurs

Mourir à plusieurs

Des frigos, des multi robots
Des huiles de vidange, des gaz à gogo
Des liquides toxiques pour bien qu'elle astique
Et du silicone pour être esthétique

Ca fait moins peur
De mourir à plusieurs
Avec ardeur, nous sommes nos fossoyeurs

Des anti-moustiques, des bonbons chimiques
Des plaques tectoniques ou la bombe atomique
Des sacs en plastique, des boissons qui piquent
Des armes automatiques dans les villes touristiques

Ca fait moins peur
De mourir à plusieurs
Oh quel bonheur, nous sommes nos fossoyeurs

Des hommes politiques super fantastiques
Sans aucune éthique aux desseins tragiques
Des nostalgies de la chaise électrique
Des frustrés cyniques qui règlent le cirque

Ca fait moins peur
De mourir à plusieurs
Avec ardeur, nous sommes nos fossoyeurs
Ca fait moins peur
De mourir à plusieurs
Oh quel bonheur! Nous sommes nos fossoyeurs

Ain't nothing going on but the rent.

Bill collector's at my door - what can you do for me-ee, oh

No romance without finance, no romance without finance

Boy, nothin' in life is free-ee
That's why I'm asking you, what can you do for me?
I've go-ot responsibilitie-ies
So I'm lookin' for a man who's got some money in his hand

'Cause nothin' from nothin', lea-eaves a nothin'
You got to have somethin' if you want to be with me
Oh-oh, life is just serious, lo-ove's too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security
'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
You got to have a J.O.B. if you want to be with me
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
You got to have a J.O.B. if you want to be with me
No romance without finance, I said no romance without finance

Boy, your silky words are swee-eet
But we're only wastin' time if your pockets are empty
I-I got lots of love to gi-ive
But I will have to avoid you if you're unemployed

'Cause nothin' from nothin', lea-eaves a nothin'
You got to have somethin' if you want to be with me
Oh-oh, life is just serious, lo-ove's too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security
'Cause ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
You got to have a J.O.B. if you want to be with me
Ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent
You got to have a J.O.B. if you want to be with me
No romance without finance, I said no romance without finance
No romance without finance, I said no romance without finance

Oh, you look good to me, your silky words are sweet
But your pockets sure look empty

Wooh-ooh, nothin' from nothin', lea-eaves a nothin'
You got to have somethin' if you want to

Yellow Moon

Yellow moon, yellow moon,
why you keep peeping in my window?
Do you know something I don't know?
Did you see my baby
walking down the railroad tracks?
You can tell me if the girls
ever coming back.

Is she hid out with another
or is she trying to get back home?
Is she wrapped up in some other's arms?
Or is the girl somewhere all alone?
Can you see if she is missing me,
or is she having a real good time?
Has she forgotten all about,
or is the girl still mine all mine?

Chorus:
With your eye so big a shiney
You can see the whole damn land
Yellow moon can you tell me
If the girl's with another man?

Refrain:
Oh yellow moon,
have you seen that creole woman
You can tell me,
Now ain't you a friend of mine.

Chorus

Refrain

Neville Brothers & John Hiatt - Yellow Moon (live performance)

Overpowered

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered

Your date on my data
The chromosomes match
Exact as in matter
A matter of fact

These amourant feelings
A cognitive state
Need the love object
To reciprocate

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

If reason's your game
A chemical needing
Is there in the brain

With preprogrammed meanings
Like a little more pep
Alien feelings
We have to accept

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

As science struggles on to try to explain
Oxytoxins flowing ever into my brain

As science struggles on to try to explain
Oxytoxins flowing ever into my brain

Stay With Me

Baby, stay with me tonight
Baby, soothe me like an orphan child
This word's on fire, the crooks and the liars
Are bribing our souls and robbing our lives
They come to haunt us
In dreams where they taunt us
And they don't tell us
Everything has it's price


Fairy tales tell you a good man will find you
And love will be the key to paradise
Girls they believe it, they want to feel needed
They're so afraid to lead a lonely life
Locked in the shadows of doubt
Secrets are afraid of the light
Forever searching for the spirit
We keep hidden inside

Baby, stay with me tonight
Baby, say it will be all right

This world's on fire, we're caught in a mire
And we don't know what to believe anymore
Men built their towers of hatred and power
And we don't know what all the suffering is for
Locked in the shadows of doubt
Secrets are afraid of the light
Forever searching for the spirits
Hidden deep in our hearts

Vaya Con Dios & Tony Hadly - Stay With Me (Live at Night of The Proms 1996)

A man's world.

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness

Autumn Leaves

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon Ill hear old winters song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Like a bird on a wire

Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

Papillon de nuit

Comme une étoile amarante
Comme un papillon de nuit
C'est la lumière qui m'attire
La Flamme qui m'éblouit
Je sens mon corps qui chavire
La chaleur qui m'envahit
Et mon décir qui me brûle
Qui va consumer ma vie
Comme un papillon de ...
Comme un papillon de ...
Comme un papillon de nuit

Comme une étoile amarante
Comme un papillon de nuit
J'oublie le temps qui me reste
Attirée par l'infini
Je sens mon corps qui dérive
Ma raison qui s'engourdit
Et cette lumière qui me brûle
C'est elle dont j'ai envie
Comme un papillon de ...
Comme un papillon de ...
Comme un papillon de nuit

Où ça commence
Où ça finit
Où la vie me conduit
Quelle importance
J'ai le cœur immense
Et le monde est petit
Ce qui compte, c'est d'avoir envie

Comme une étoile amarante
Comme un papillon de nuit
Je vole au dessus des ombres
Des fantomes tristes et gris
S'il faut se noyer , se fondre
Dans le silence et l'oubli
Pour le bonheur d'une seconde
Je préfère payer le prix
Comme un papillon de ...
Comme un papillon de ...
Comme un papillon de nuit

Où ça commence
Où ça finit
Où la vie me conduit
Ou bien tu m'aimes
Ou tu m'oublie
Ou bien tu me suis
Ce qui compte, c'est d'avoir envie

Mia

I came over with a midnight appetite
You said "If you wash up I'll feed you tonight"
People like you need to loosen up
Give them a chance before they fuck up

The middle class is in control
Of this country's tired soul
Mia thinks she's seen the light
She says: "No one's gonna lose this fight"

For now we'll keep going until we prevail
On this shining path, on the long lost trail
People like me stick around, it appears
On the labor market, in this vale of tears

Shooting stars keep passing by
Only Elvis will never die
Mia never suffered and
She asks: "Did you give up dreaming?"

The middle class is in control
Of this country's tired soul
Mia thinks she's seen the light
She says: "no one's gonna lose this fight"

And shooting stars keep passing by
Only Elvis will never die
Mia never suffered and
She asks: "Did you give up dreaming?"


Originally a Belgian song by Gorki, covered by Milow on Werchter 2007.

le réveil
tous les matins c'est pareil
je ne l'entends pas
c'est comme ça
c'est comme tous ces bruits
que tu fais courir sur moi
ça ne m'atteint pas
c'est mieux comme ça
tant qu'on se parlera sur ce ton
je ferai baisser le son...

sourd, on devient sourd
toutes ces sirènes dans nos cours
ça nous gêne
on a beau changer de chaîne
lourd, le cœur est lourd
toutes ces alarmes à l'amour
ça larsen
il faut qu'on reprenne forme humaine

la radio
tous les journaux, c'est pareil
on ne s'entend pas
dans ce monde là
ça sonne
téléphone
mais je fais la sourde oreille
je ne réponds pas
ça sert à quoi ?
tant qu'on se parlera sur ce ton
je ferai baisser le son

sourd, on devient sourd
toutes ces sirènes dans nos cours
ça nous gêne
on a beau changer de chaîne
lourd, le cœur est lourd
toutes ces alarmes à l'amour
ça larsen
regarde où ça nous mène

sourd, on reste sourd
il suffit qu'un peu d'amour
nous revienne
pour qu'on reprenne forme humaine

{...}

je garde les images sans le son
tu devrais changer de ton
nos silences sont plus beaux
que nos assauts
pourquoi nous tailler l'âme au couteau ?

sourd, on devient sourd
toutes ces sirènes dans nos cours
ça nous gêne
on a beau changer de chaîne
lourd, le cœur est lourd
toutes ces alarmes à l'amour
ça larsen
regarde où ça nous mène

sourd, on reste sourd
tous ces appels au secours
ça larsen
reprenons forme humaine
sourd, fais pas le sourd
je te jure que l'amour
en vaut la peine
mais laisse ta main
dans la mienne

Belsunce Breakdown

D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown

Tout part et vient d'ici
Tu contestes ? Prépare ton testament gars
Belsunce fleuron des quartiers phocéens
Coincés entre la gare et le vieux port
On est pas les plus à plaindre
À domicile comme à l'extérieur
On sévit sur les cafards comme le Baygon

D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown

Pour l'heure chacun s'occupe
Comme il peut à représenter le quartier, ouais le quartier
Certains font des T.shirts
Et d'autres sont champions, ou chanteurs reconnus
Tout ça sort de la rue
Hein ? Qui l'eut cru ? Pas eux en tout cas

D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown

La nuit et calme sur l'ensemble de mon front
Pas de rêve, gars une trêve, dort très peu
Les factions sont sur le qui-vive
On est pas à l'abri d'une sale coup
Beaucoup sont déçus et ça cause
Des plaies à l'âme que l'on n'peut oublier
Impossible aussi d'oublier ceux qui sont tombés
Bons ou mauvais
On en garde un souvenir impérissable
Si un jour j'deviens vieux
Ce dont je doute avec la vie qu'je mène
J'écrirais un bouquin sur ce quartier
Belsunce...

D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown
D'où j'sors d'une ronde Belsunce Breakdown

Games

I know you're a ganster, but I'm the queen of spades
A ruler of hearts I shoot the moon
I take my tricks right from the start
I'm a sucker for love, the joker's running wild
My heart it can break ohh it can break
Frail as a child

Whatever it is it is, Whatever will be it's gonna be
Whoever you are you are
Those games that you play, don't you play em'with me

You're a visonary dreamer
A fool leaving things to chance risk is a hazard
Ohh such a harzard if you flirt with romance
It's like a shooting the dice
Flipping coins in the air
You're running on luck the odds are against you
If you're not playing fair

Whatever it is it is, Whatever will be it's gonna be
Whoever you are you are
Those games that play, don't you play em' with me

Stacking the deck, dealing those cards
Watch what you take and stand it on guard

Whatever it is it is, Whatever will be it's gonna be
Whoever you are you are

Je suis seule ce soir

Je suis seule ce soir
Avec mes rêves,
Je suis seule ce soir
Sans ton amour.
Le jour tombe, ma joie s'achève,
Tout se brise dans mon cœur lourd.
Je suis seule ce soir
Avec ma peine
J'ai perdu l'espoir
De ton retour,
Et pourtant je t'aime encor' et pour toujours
Ne me laisse pas seul sans ton amour.

Je viens de fermer ma fenêtre,
Le brouillard qui tombe est glacé
Jusque dans ma chambre il pénètre,
Notre chambre où meurt le passé.

{Refrain}

Dans la cheminée, le vent pleure,
Les roses s'effeuillent sans bruit,
L'horloge, en marquant les quarts d'heure,
D'un son grêle berce l'ennui.

{Refrain}

Tout demeure ainsi que tu l'aimes,
Dans ce coin par toi dédaigné,
Mais si ton parfum flotte même,
Ton dernier bouquet s'est fané.

Return of the mack

oooh, come on. Ooh yeah.
Well, I tried to tell you so (Yes, I did)
But I guess you didn't know, as the saddest story goes
Baby, now I got the flow cause I knew it from the start
Baby, when you broke my heart that I had to come again
And show you that I'm with

You lied to me
All those times I said that I loved you
You lied to me
Yes, I tried, yes, I tried
You lied to me
Even though you know I'd die for you
You lied to me
Yes, I cried, yes, I cried

Return of the Mack
It is Return of the Mack
Come on Return of the Mack
Oh, my god You know that I'll be back
Here I am

Return of the Mack
Once again Return of the Mack
Top of the world Return of the Mack
Watch my flow You know that I'll be back
Here I go

So, I'm back up in the game Running things like half my swing
Lettin' all the people know That I'm back to run the show
'Cause what you did you know was wrong And all the nasty things you've
done
So, baby, listen carefully While I sing my comeback song

You lied to me Cause she said she'd never turn on me
You lied to me But you did, but you did
You lied to me All this pain you said I'd never feel
You lied to me but I do, but I do do do

Return of the Mack
It is Return of the Mack
Hold on Return of the Mack
Don't you know You know that I'll be back (Here I go)
Return of the Mack Oh, little girl
Return of the Mack Once more, girl
Return of the Mack Up and down
You know that I'll be back round and round

Ahhhh, Mark
Stop worrying about your big break

You lied to me Cause he said she'd never turn on me
You lied to me But you did, but you did
You lied to me All this pain you said I'd never feel
You lied to me but I do, but I do do do

Return of the Mack It is
Return of the Mack Come on
Return of the Mack Oh, my god You know that I'll be back
Here I am

Return of the Mack Once again
Return of the Mack Top of the world
Return of the Mack Watch my flow
You know that I'll be back
Don't you know.

Return of the Mack..........
