Lyrics of Can't Believe by Nancy Martin

2008-01-10T21:57:00.000Z

shoobiedoowa
can't believe (x3)

I was walking down the street
walking on a steady beat

sudddenly I saw my feet
start to dance and make me free

I know you can do it
everybody can do it
everybody can do it

it could happen
it could happen anyday

shoobiedoowa
can't believe (x4)

I was taken by surprise
I could not believe my eyes
what I just realized
a funky dance will get you high

I know you can do it
everybody can do it
everybody can do it

it could happen
it could happen anyday

shoobiedoowa
can't believe (x6)

I was taken by surprise
I could not believe my eyes
what I just realized
a funky dance will get you high

I know you can do it
everybody can do it
everybody can do it

it could happen
it could happen anyday

Nancy Martin's first solo release was "Can't Believe". The song spread over Canada like wildfire eventually reaching the U.S. where Atlantic Records picked it up for release. This was her first American hit, but later that year she scored an even bigger success with "I'm Gonna Get Your Love" credited to Jade. Thanks to a Disconet remix (U.S.A.) and versions on Polydor (Canada), Rams Horn (Holland) and Dureco-Benelux (Netherlands) the song became a global sensation. I think it's a huge dancetune.

No Governement - Nicolette

2008-01-07T07:29:00.000Z

No government is a way of life.
No government means to trust your friends.
I know who I am and you know who you are.

If everybody knew what they wanted,
there'd be nothing, nothing left.
People would do what they wanted,
and there'd be no government.

There'd be no government,
there'd be no government.
People would do what they wanted,
and there'd be no government.

There'd be no government,
there'd be no government.
People would do what they wanted,
and there'd be no government.

Life has me tempting, refreshing me,
making me stretch.
My body is flowing and happy
and feeling refreshed.

My choices, believe me, are infinite easy.
Exciting and mystical choices before me.
They tell me my life is a journey in no government.

If everybody lived in their bodies,
we'd have so much, so much time.
Touching would be such a pass-time,
and we'd have such lazy days.

We'd have such lazy days,
for we'd kiss them away.
People would worship eachother,
and we'd have loose, lazy ways.

No government is an easy time.
No government is an exciting life.
We'd work for ourselves,
and we'd love for ourselves,
and for no government.

There'd be no suffering.
There'd be no government.
People would see and let them be,
and we'd have no government.

There'd be no government,
there'd be no government.
People will see and let them be,
and will be no government.

No government is a way of life.

This Drum and Bass song from 1995, released on Giles Petterson and Norman Jay's Talkin' Loud label was an instant classic. It was featured on the Mission Impossible soundtrack.

Nat King Cole - The Christmas Song.

2007-12-26T13:03:00.000Z

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

2007-12-21T15:22:00.000Z

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

2007-12-20T07:04:00.000Z

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.

2007-12-19T05:35:00.000Z

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,

Come on, come on put the radio on,
turn it up; the neighbour's gone,

Delerium Silence

2007-12-16T20:11:00.000Z

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

2007-12-13T18:05:00.000Z

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.

2007-12-01T22:35:00.000Z

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

2007-11-28T08:18:00.000Z

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

2007-11-25T08:59:00.000Z

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.

Need You Tonight - INXS

2007-11-22T22:12:00.000Z

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

2007-11-15T09:02:00.000Z

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

2007-11-12T21:21:00.000Z

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.

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.

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

2007-11-07T21:13:00.000Z

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

2007-11-06T21:29:00.000Z

[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

2007-11-05T18:36:00.000Z

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.

Newton Faulkner - Dream Catch Me

2007-10-30T14:57:00.000Z

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

2007-10-28T19:08:00.000Z

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

SchÃ¶ne Alfenfee, zwei Sterren in der Nacht
Zwischen Bergen Ã¼ber StrÃ¶men ich hÃ¶re 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

Mourir à plusieurs

2007-10-26T08:13:00.000+01:00

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

2007-10-23T09:55:00.001+01:00

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

2007-10-17T17:24:00.000+01:00

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

Overpowered

2007-10-16T13:26:00.000+01:00

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

Stay With Me

2007-10-10T20:20:00.000+01:00

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.

2007-09-28T21:51:00.000+01:00

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

2007-09-21T09:25:00.000+01:00

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

2007-09-17T10:38:00.000+01:00

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

2007-09-04T22:13:00.000+01:00

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

2007-08-28T14:37:00.000+01:00

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.

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

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

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

2007-07-29T21:22:00.000+01:00

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

2007-07-28T10:51:00.000+01:00

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.

Fantasy

2007-07-24T09:02:00.000+01:00

Every man has a place
In his heart there's a space
And the world can't erase his fantasies
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship fantasise
All your dreams will come true right away

And we will live together
Until the twelfth of never
Our voices will ring forever as one

Every thought is a dream
Rushing by in a stream
Bringing life to your kingdom of doing
Take a ride in the sky
On our ship fantasise
All your dreams will come true miles away

Our voices will ring together
Until the twelfth of never
We all will love together as one

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life a new degree
Bring your mind to everlasting liberty

As one

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold to your soul is ecstasy
You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives have brought you to
Recognise it's your life now in review

As you stay for the play
Fantasy has in store for you
A glowing light will see you through
It's your day shining day
All your dreams come true

As you glide in your stride
With the wind as you fly away
Give a smile from your lips and say
Are you free yes I'm free
And I'm on my way

We'll meet again

2007-07-20T07:07:00.000+01:00

We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Till the blue skies
Drive the dark clouds far away

So, will you please say hello
To the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song

We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day

We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Till the blue skies
Drive the dark clouds far away

So, will you please say hello
To the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song

We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day...

Summertime

2007-07-16T16:40:00.000+01:00

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

Hurt

2007-07-13T23:20:00.000+01:00

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Dare Me

2007-07-11T07:52:00.000+01:00

I've got a chip on my shoulder with you name on it - knock it off.
So don't just stand there foolin' if you don't want it - knock it off.
I say you're either a lover or you are a liar.
So don't you push too hard, you're playin' with fire.

Baby, make your move, step across the line,
Touch me one more time, come on, dare me!
I wanna take you on, I know I can't lose,
I'll be loving you if you just dare me.

Looks like you're lookin' for trouble,
And I'd say you found it - you found it.
You'll have to come right through me,
There's no way around it - you found it.
I hope that lean hungry look means what it's saying.
'Cause I'm just sittin' on ready, ready and waiting.
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...

Come on and dare me.
If there's any truth behind your intentions
This night's gonna end up on fire - you better believe it.
You better believe it, oh baby. Oh, dare me, dare me, dare me.
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...
Baby, make your move, step across the line,...

Je suis la seule à partager
Tes secrets nuit et jour
Depuis le temps qu'on se connaît
Que tu me fais l'amour

Soleil ne m'oublie pas
Quand tu t'en vas rêver sous les tropiques

Fais-moi soleil tout ce que tu voudras
Des plages d'or au cœur des favelas
Le monde chante dès que tu es

Dès que je t'aperçois
Je m'approche de toi
Je me déshabille sur le sable chaud
Tu me frôles la peau
Je me fais tendrement câline ou féline
Sous tes doigts
Mais dès que tu t'éloignes un peu
Je t'en veux et j'ai froid

Tu frappes alors à mes volets
Pour entrer te faire pardonner

Stop that train

The next train will be leaving from platform one

Stop that train, I wanna get on
My baby, she is leaving me now
Stop that train, I wanna get on
My baby, she is leaving me now

Shalalala... (Big-a jump, eyah)
Shalalala... (Oooh, yeaheah)
Shalalala... (Big-a jump, eyah)

Stop that train, I wanna get on
My baby, she is leaving me now
Stop that train, I wanna get on

Shalalala... (Big-a jump, eyah)
Shalalala... (Oooh, yeaheah)
Shalalala... (Big-a jump, eyah)

'Cause if you miss the train I'm on
How did you know that I am gone?
And you can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles

Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Was he so damn sit on the voodoo file
And you can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles

Hey, mister postman, bring back my woman
Hey, mister postman, bring back my woman

I need, I need, I need a woman (Big-a jump, hey-a)
I want, I want, I want a good one (Oh yeah, me wanna)

'Cause if you miss the train I'm on
And then you'll know that I am gone
And you can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles

Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Was he so damn sit on the voodoo file
And you can hear the whistle blow five hundred miles

Let it go!

sometimes everything seems awkward and large
imagine a Wednesday evening in march
future and past at the same time
I make use of the night and start drinking a lot
although not ideal for now it's all that I've got
it's nice to know your name

an ocean a lake I need a place to drown
let's freeze the moment because we're going down
tomorrow you'll be gone
you're laughing too hard this all seems surreal
I feel peculiar now what do you feel
do you think there's a chance that we can fall

you don't know you don't know
you don't know anything about me
what do I know I know your name
you don't know you don't know
you don't know anything about me anymore

I gave up dreaming for a while
I gave up dreaming for a while

I've noticed these are mysterious days
I look at it like a jigsaw puzzle and gaze
with wide open mouth and burning eyes
if only I could start to care
my dreams and my Wednesdays ain't going nowhere
baby baby baby you don't know

Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte
Des méandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien

Le vent l'emportera

Ton message à la grande ourse
Et la trajectoire de la course
A l'instantané de velours
Même s'il ne sert à rien

Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera

La caresse et la mitraille
Cette plaie qui nous tiraille
Le palais des autres jours
D'hier et demain

Le vent les portera

Génétique en bandoulière
Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphère
Des taxis pour les galaxies
Et mon tapis volant lui

Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera

Ce parfum de nos années mortes
Ceux qui peuvent frapper à ta porte
Infinité de destin
On en pose un, qu'est-ce qu'on en retient?

Le vent l'emportera

Pendant que la marée monte
Et que chacun refait ses comptes
J'emmène au creux de mon ombre
Des poussières de toi

Le vent les portera
Tout disparaîtra
Le vent nous portera

Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight

They don't care where they kick
Just as long as they hurt u
There are thieves in the temple tonight

Love if u're there come save me
From all this cold despair
I can hang when u're around
But I'll surely die
If u're not there

Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight

I feel like I'm looking for my soul (Soul)
Like a poor man looking for gold (Gold)
There are thieves in the temple tonight

Voices from the sky say rely on your best friend to pull u through
But even if I wanted 2 I couldn't really truely 'cause my only friend is u

Come on

There are thieves in the temple tonight

Kicking me in my heart, tearing me all apart
(Tearing me, tearing me, tearing me all apart)
'Cause me and u could have been a work of art
Thieves in the temple

Baby don't u know I'm holding on
The best that I can
Love please help me be
The better man

Better than the thieves in the temple
In the temple tonight

Oh, thieves in the temple (Tonight) tonight
Hurt me

Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple tonight

Thieves in the temple

U said u loved me! (Thieves in the temple)
U said I was your friend! (Thieves in the temple)
U were supposed to take care of me! (Love come quick) {Thieves in the temple}
U lie! Love come (Lie!) in a hurry (Lie!)

We all want the stuff that's found in our wildest dreams
It gets kinda rough in the back of our limousine

That's what we are, we all want a love bizarre

Come swallow the pride and joy of the ivory tower
We'll dance on the roof, make love on a bed of flowers

I’ve been thinking too much about you
See the sunset with no sleep at all
Constantly thinking about you
And I can’t get through this at all

I’ve been thinking too much about you
I’ve been staring at the floor
I’ve listened to all the tunes I love
but made me feel quite blue

I’ve been thinking too much about you
See the sunrise still no sleep at all
Constantly thinking about you
And my eyelids won’t close at all

baby, you seem to be so cold
about things
with us.

Have you ever cared
and have you ever dared
to love
someone

look at my face and you'll know,
that I would never had let you go.

Yes it's true
that I'm missing you
and I've cried.

I'm confused,
do you have a reply.

Baby I know
and understand
that we can't go on...

but did you really try,
please dont tell me a lie
to shelter me.

Look at my face and you'll know
that I
would never had let you go.

And it's true,
that I'm missing you.
I just cry
(missing you, missing you)

I'm confused
I don't know your reply.

Lonely people lonely

say, are you happy
have you been down to the club
that world where people are (not sure...)

hey what are you doing
come on and check it out
I know you heard about
the place for broken hearts
where players players play their part
all at club lonely

lonely people lonely
people party
lonely people

say, if you're ready
babe you will find hapiness
and love among the rest

so you wanna listen
to the music and the sound
and the laughter from the grounds
and my beat that makes you move
so we're gone in the groove,
down at club lonely

lonely people lonely
people party
lonely people

so let's on our way now
we just came down to the place
where your mind's just out of space
so you use the rythm
and you dance and sing along
while you're drowning in the song
and you're soul's crying inside
so you come to laugh and hide
down at club lonely

lonely people lonely
people party
lonely people

flyin through the night
floating on a wind
to the city lights
night birds
with the love they bring

flyin through the night
floating on a wind
to the city lights
night birds
with the love they bring

slowing they decend
through the darkened sky
to the night again
night birds
kiss the day goodbye.

Every now and then
When i see you
There seems to be no measure of time
My feelings run deeper
Than meets the eye
The harder i try
The faster time flys by

Dont wanna be
Dont wanna be
Alone and defenseless

I told you how i feel
I said it from my heart
Tell me whats really up in here
I cant make you feel
The way that i do
Still i wont be given up on you

Dont wanna be ...
Dont wanna be...
Alone and defenseless...

Mother's little helper

2007-06-10T09:48:00.000+01:00

What a drag it is getting old
"Kids are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

"Things are different today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two helps her on her way, get her through her busy day

Doctor please some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

"Men just aren't the same today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy. You can tranquilize your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight

Doctor please some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old

"Life's just much too hard today"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running to the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day

You know me and I sure know you
Everyone

You seem so... Tender

Give me some more of the warm little beasts
I'm so fond of

Master, I'm so glad to feel your presence
But you don't seem to share my impatience
I relied upon you to break the silence
I cannot understand your reluctance

Master, I feel so warm and I'm so happy, oh master

Give me some more of the warm little beasts
I'm so fond of

You seem so
I could melt the frozen wall you raised between us
and now I'm on the other side, you seem rather surprised

Constricting viscous rings around your warm body
Holding you tied, holding you tied... and I feel so happy

You seem so tender
As the warm little beasts
I'm so fond of

Stool Pigeon

2007-06-06T20:26:00.000+01:00

There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha

If you wanna squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told it all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
And the maximum security
Even after plastic surgery
So go on and squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while

There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha

After all the talk then they wired him
And he took a walk with his crooked friends
And they joked about the good old days
And he recorded it on a reel of tape
He caught the mug who did in the forgery
And the babe in charge of larceny
So the FBI they rewarded him
Because they like a guy who will stab a friend

There's a gentleman that's going round
Turning the joint upside down
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha
He's an old ex-con that's been away
Now he's back, no one's safe
Stool Pigeon - ha-cha-cha-cha

There's a gentleman that's going round ....

If you wanna squeal, said the FBI
We can make a deal, make it worth your while
So he told it all and in return
He got a credit card and a Thunderbird
He got a spanking new identity
And a condo down in Miami
He bought a plane, a boat and jewelry
But he couldn't buy any company

There's a gentleman that's going round ....
There's a gentleman that's going round ....

Look at me, stare inside.
Take my place, in my mind.
Capture me, follow through.
Validate, wanting you.

It's been a long, long time.
Since you been on my mind and I...
I must forget about us.

Turned away. What to do?
Let it go. Follow through.
Lost within. Endless eyes.
Lusting calls. Logic cries.

Bridge:
Baby this seems so right. Baby this seems so wrong.
Hour after hour, so long, day after day, so long,
year after year after year...
And now we're here.

Chorus:
Never fade from my mind.
Shower me and give me life.
Never fade from my mind.
Always there when I close my eyes.

Hesitate. Pull me in.
Breath on breath. Skin on skin.
Loving deep. Falling fast.
All right here. Let this last.
Here with our lips locked tight.
Baby the time is right for us...
to forget about us.
[ Fade lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

Shelter me. Give me light.
Sexy days. Sensual nights.
Ain't no way, you'll be gone.
Cause I'll be here still holding on.

Bridge:
Baby it's been so long, and it could be tonight.
Hour after hour, so long, day after day, so long,
year after year after year...
And now we're here.

Chorus:
Never fade from my mind.
Shower me and give me life.
Never fade from my mind.
Always there when I close my eyes.

Give me life.
Give me life.
Give me life.
Give me, give me, give me life.

Never fade from my mind.
Shower me and give me life.
(Give me love and give me life)
Never fade from my mind.
Always there when I close my eyes.

Never fade...
In my life.

Talking with myself

2007-06-03T18:53:00.000+01:00

And if it's all right with you
I'll just talk with myself

I never was the one to leave you mad.
And when the light's shining down on you,
You sure look tragic too.

And if it's all right with you,
I'll just talk with myself.

Oh when the stars are bright and the lights shine down.
And everything moves all around.
It's a wonder world and a perfect time for loving
tonight.
And when it all gets hung and it all gets tough and
everything won't be enough.
It's a perfect time to all come true for loving tonight

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

I've seen you passing by.
And when you caught my eye,
I thought "God this could be the next big thing".
And when you issued a command,
telling me to hold your hand.
Oh baby, I wish it would rain.
Woh Oh-Woh
And when it all gets hung and it all gets tough and
everything won't be enough.
It's a perfect time to all come true for loving
Oh yeah...

Love Letters

2007-06-02T12:32:00.000+01:00

VERSE:
The sky may be starless,
The night may be moonless,
But deep in my heart there's a glow.
For deep in my heart
I know that you love me.
You love me because you told me so.

CHORUS:
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart.
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write.

*I memorize ev'ry line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart.

(Instrumental interlude and pick up from *.)

I memorize ev'ry line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart.

In Dreams

2007-05-27T08:11:00.000+01:00

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep. everything is all right.

I close my eyes, then I drift away
Into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayerlike dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you.

In dreams I walk with you. in dreams I talk to you.
In dreams youre mine. all of the time were together
In dreams, in dreams.

But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.
I cant help it, I cant help it, if I cry.
I remember that you said goodbye.

Its too bad that all these things, can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams in beautiful dreams.

It's Yours

2007-05-23T07:45:00.000+01:00

What makes you journey into the night and take flight on a pursuit of
musical bliss? Chasing beats through ghetto streets to a dungenous temple
left by our soul descendents in a quest for peace, energy, and light.
If you were to find this temple, do you have the knowlege to enter the
temple?

Do you want it? and if you had it would you flaunt it, it's yours.

Acquiring enterance into the temple is hard, but faith. Trek through
god-forsaken elements because the reward is well worth the journey. Stay
steadfast in your pursit of the light, the light is knowledge.

Do you want it, and if you had it would you flaunt it, it's yours.

You've stayed true to your quest, so let the beauty that is the musical
universe engulf you. Recharge your sprit, purify your mind, touch your
soul, and give you the eternal joy of happyness you truly deserve. You now
have the knowledge.

Do you want it? and if you had it would you flaunt
it? well it's yours.

It's Yours - John Cutler feat. E-Man (used as background music for a soccer video)

Troy

2007-05-22T07:41:00.000+01:00

I'll remember it
And Dublin in a rainstorm
And sitting in the long grass in summer
Keeping warm
I'll remember it
Every restless night
We were so young then
We thought that everything
We could possibly do was right
Then we moved
Stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
Tell me when did the light die
You will rise
You'll return
The phoenix from the flame
You will learn
You will rise
You'll return
Being what you are
There is no other Troy
For you to burn
And I never meant to hurt you
I swear I didn't mean
Those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Oh, does she love you
What do you want to do?
Does she need you like I do?
Do you love her?
Is she good for you?
Does she hold you like I do?
Do you want me?
Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me
That you love me
Just sometimes I wonder
If I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you
I'll die
But I will rise
And I will return
The Phoenix from the flame
I have learned
I will rise
And you'll see me return
Being what I am
There is no other Troy
For me to burn
And you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried
And you'd never have known
And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
No I wouldn't have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed
No I can't let you go
And the door wasn't closed
No I wouldn't have pulled you to me
No I wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you
If we hadn't been there in the first place
Ah but I know you wanted me to be there oh oh
Every look that you threw told me so
But you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
And the flames burned away
But you're still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say
You're still a liar
You're still a liar
You're still a lawyer

Private Investigations

2007-05-20T21:16:00.000+01:00

It's a mystery to me - the game commences
for the usual fee - plus expenses
confidential information - it's not a public inquiry

I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt
you get to meet all sorts in this line of work
treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it
and when I find the reason I still can't get used to it

And what have you got at the end of the day?
what have you got to take away?
a bottle of whisky and a new set of lies
blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes

Scarred for life - nocompensation

Supernature

2007-05-14T15:03:00.000+01:00

Once upon a time
Science opened up the door
We would feed the hungry fields
Till they couldn't eat no more

But the potions that we made
Touched the creatures down below
And they grow up in a way
That we'd never seen before

Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature

They were angry with the man
Cause changed their way of life
And they take their sweet revenge
As they trample through the night

For hundred miles or more
You could hear the people cry
But there is nothing you can do
Even God is on their side
(God is on, God is on, God is on their side)

Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature

Cars will break the light
Come flowing in the air
The creature will decide
Who goes where

How can I explain
Things are different today
Darkness all around
No one makes a sound
Such a sad affair
No one seems to care

Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature

Better watch out
There's no way to stop it now
You can't escape
It's too late
Look what you've done
There's no place that you can run
The monsters made
We must pray

Maybe nature has a plan
To control the ways of man
He must start from scratch again
Many battles must he win
Till he earns his place on earth
Like the other creatures do
Will there be a happy end
Now that all depends on you

Supernature, supernature
Supernature, supernature

N'oubliez Jamais

2007-05-12T20:27:00.000+01:00

Papa, why do you play
All the same old songs
Why do you sing
With the melody

Cause down on the street
Somethings goin' on
There's a new beat
And a brand new song

He said
In my life, there was so much anger
Still I have no regrets
Just like you, I was such a rebel
So dance your own dance, and never forget

N'oubliez jamais
I heard my father say
Every generation has it's way
A need to disobey

N'oubliez jamais
It's in your destiny
A need to disagree
When rules get in the way
N'oubliez jamais

Mamma, why do you dance
To the same old songs
Why do you sing
Only the harmony

Down on the street
Something's goin' on
There's a new beat
And a brand new song

She said
In my heart theres a young girls passion
For a life long duet
Someday soon
Someone's smile will haunt you
So sing your own song and never forget

N'oubliez jamais page 2
I heard my father say
Every generation has it's way
A need to disobey

N'oubliez jamais
It's in your destiny
A need to disagree
When rules get in the way
N'oubliez jamais

What is this game
Searching for love or fame, it's all the same
One of these days you say that love will be the cure
I'm not sure

N'oubliez jamais
I heard my father say
Every generation has it's way
A need to disobey

N'oubliez jamais
It's in your destiny
A need to disagree
When rules get in the way
N'oubliez jamais

You And Your Friend
will you and your friend come around
are you and your friend gonna get on down
will you and your friend come around
or are you and your friend gonna let me down

if you talk to one another
I'm a hungry man
let me know one way or the other
so I can make my plans

will you and your friend come around
are you and your friend gonna get on down
will you and your friend come around
or are you and your friend gonna let me down

I relive the situation
still see in in my mind
you got my imagination
working overtime

Ticket To Heaven
I can see what you're looking to find
in the smile on my face
in my peace of mind
in my state of grace
I send what I can
to the man from the ministry
he's a part of heaven's plan
and he talks to me

now I send what I can to the man
with the diamond ring
he's a part of heaven's plan
and he sure can sing
now it's all I can afford
but the lord has sent me eternity
it's to save the little children
in a poor country

I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
I got a ride all the way to paradise
I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
all the way to paradise

now there's nothing left for luxuries
nothing left to pay my heating bill
but the good lord will provide
I know he will
so send what you can
to the man with the diamond ring
they're tuning in across the land
to hear him sing

I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
I got a ride all the way to paradise
I got my ticket to heaven
and everlasting life
all the way to paradise

Walk a mile in my shoes

2007-05-07T12:18:00.001+01:00

If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each other's mind
If you could see me through your eyes instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind.

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes.

Now your whole world you see around you is just a reflection
And the law of common says you reap just what you sow
So unless you've lived a life of total perfection
You'd better be careful of every stone that you throw.

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes.

And yet we spend the day throwing stones at one another
'Cause I don't think or wear my hair the same way you do
Well I may be common people but I'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me its a-hurtin' you.

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes.

There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos
And brother there but for the grace of God go you and I
If I only had the wings of a little angel
Don't you know I'd fly to the top of the mountain, and then I'd cry.

Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes, shoes.

Our Darkness

2007-05-06T12:58:00.000+01:00

Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me
And we'd talk of it with idealistic assurance
That it wouldn't tear us apart
We'd keep our heads above the blackened water
But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place
And you're gone now

Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean
Through billowing smoke that's swallowed the sun
You're nowhere to be seen

Do you think our desires still burn
I guess it was desires that tore us apart
There has to be passion
A passion for living, surviving
And that means detachment
Everybody has a weapon to fight you with
To beat you with when you are down
There were too many defences between us

Doubting all the time
Fearing all the time
Doubting all the time
Fearing all the time
That like these urban nightmares
We'd blacken each other skies

When we passed the subways we tried to ignore our fate there
Of written threats on endless walls
Unjustified crimes carried in stifled calls
Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain
It used to mingle with our tears then dry the hopes that we left behind
It rains even harder now

Dominion/Mother Russia

2007-05-04T21:30:00.000+01:00

In the heat of the night
In the heat of the day
When I close my eyes
When I look your way
When I meet the fear that lies inside
When I hear you say
In the heat of the moment
Say, say, say

Some day, some day, some day, dominion
Come a time
Some day, some day, some day, dominion
Some say prayers
Some say prayers
I say mine

In the light of the fact
On the lone and level
Sand stretch far away
In the heat of the action
In the settled dust
Hold hold and say
In the meeting of mined
Down in the streets of shame
In the betting of names on gold to rust
In the land of the blind
Be...king, king, king, king

Some day, some day, some day, dominion
Come a time
Some day, some day, some day, dominion
Some say prayers
Some say prayers
I say mine

Some day, some day, some day, dominion
Some say prayers
Some say prayers
I say mine

In the heat of the night
In the heat of the day
When I close my eyes
When I look your way
When I meet the fear that lies inside
When I hear you say
In the heat of the moment
Say, say, say

Some day, some day, some day, dominion
Some say prayers
Some say prayers
I say mine
I say mine
I say mine

We serve an old moan in a dry season
A lighthouse keeper in the desert sun
Dreamers of sleepers and white treason
We dream of rain and the history of the gun
Theres a lighthouse in the middle of prussia
A white house in a red square
Im living in films for the sake of russia
A kino runner for the ddr
And the fifty-two daughters of the revolution
Turn the gold to chrome
Gift...nothing to lose
Stuck inside of memphis with the mobile home, sing:

Mother russia
Mother russia
Mother russia rain down down down
Mother russia
Mother russia
Mother russia rain down

Everybody's free

2007-05-03T16:53:00.001+01:00

Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free
Brother and sister
Together we'll make it through
Some day a spirit will
Lift you and take you there
I know you've been hurting
But I've been there
Waiting to be there for you
And I'll be there just helping you out
Whenever I can
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
We are all a family
That should stand together as one
Helping each other
Instead of just wasting time
Now is the moment to
Reach out to someone
It's all up to you
When everyone's sharing their hope
Then love will win through
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good
Everybody's free to feel good

L'amour est un oiseau rebelle

2007-04-30T20:29:00.000+01:00

L'amour est un oiseau rebelleque

nul ne peut apprivoiser,

et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle,

s'il lui convient de refuser.

Rien n'y fait, menace ou prière,

l'un parle bien, l'autre se tait;

et c'est l'autre que je préfère:

il n'a rien dit, mais il me plait.

L'amour ! etc.

CHOEUR

L'amour est un oiseau rebelle, etc.

CARMEN

L'amour est enfant de bohème,

il n'a jamais connu de loi:

Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime;

si je t'aime, prends garde à toi! etc.

CHOEUR

Prends garde à toi! etc.

L'amour est enfant de bohème, etc.

CARMEN

L'oiseau que tu croyais

surprendrebattit de l'aile et s'envola -

l'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre;

tu ne l'attends plus, il est là!

Tout autour de toi vite, vite,il vient,

s'en va, puis il revient -

tu crois le tenir, il t'évite,

tu crois l'éviter, il te tient.

L'amour ! etc.

CHOEUR

Tout autour de toi, etc.

CARMEN

L'amour est enfant de bohème,

il n'a jamais connu de loi,

si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime;

si je t’aime, prends garde à toi!

Si tu ne m'aimes pas, je t'aime, etc.

CHOEUR

Prends garde à toi! etc.

L'amour est enfant de bohème, etc.

Don Giovanni

2007-04-28T22:59:00.000+01:00

Quel che a lei piace vita mi rende,
Quel che le incresce morte mi dà.
S'ella sospira, sospiro anch'io
È mia quell'ira, quel pianto è mio
E non ho bene, s'ella non l'ha.

On her, my treasure, all joy dependeth,
Life hath no pleasure, but that she sendeth,
Sorrows that grieve her, torture my heart,
E'en when she sigheth, my sighs awaken,
And joy it dieth, by her forsaken,
Oh, worst of torments, from her to part!

Can You Feel It

2007-04-27T07:29:00.000+01:00

In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.

And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared,
"Let there be house!" and house music was born.
I am, you see, I am the creator, and this is my house!
And, in my house there is only house music. But, I am not so selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and OUR house music!" And, you see, no one can own house because house music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you're deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body.
And, as I told you before, this is our house and our house music. And in every house, you understand, there is a keeper. And, in this house, the keeper is Jack. Now some of you who might wonder. Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?

Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body!
Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake.
Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm.
Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body.
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all
Jackers together under one house.
You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile.
It don't make difference in our House.

And this is fresh!

Skydive

2007-04-26T07:22:00.000+01:00

The first moment before the first touch
We know the longing
We have to hold each other
I will drown you in love
must sufficate your needs
Now we're healed
we have our own language

I feel wonderful
I could skydive from the moon
Sail an ocean on my fingertips
When the wind screams my name

Take his hand and be free
To run run run to you

I feel wonderful

The first moment before the first touch
We knew the longing
We have to hold each other
I will drown you in love
Must sufficate your needs
Now we're healed
We have our own language

Collect your words
I have them when you're gone
I silently smile
Even miss you in my sleep

No rush no loss no lies
This journey is our love
You're my hero
From heaven did you call

I feel wonderful
I could skydive from the moon
Sail an ocean on my fingertips
When the wind screams my name

Take his hand and be free
To run run run to you

I feel wonderful
I could skydive from the moon
Sail an ocean on my fingertips
When the wind screams my name

Take his hand and be free
To run run run to you

If you were the woman

2007-04-25T17:55:00.000+01:00

If you were the woman and I was the man
would I send you yellow roses
would I dare to kiss your hand?
In the morning would I caress you
as the wind caresses the sand,
if you were the woman and I was the man?

If I was the heart and you were the head
would you think me very foolish
if one day I decided to shed
these walls that surround me
just to see where these feelings led,
if I was the heart and you were the head?

If I was the woman and you were the man
would I laugh if you came to me
with your heart in your hand
and said, 'I offer you this freely
and will give you all that I can
because you are the woman
and I am the man?'

What else is there

2007-04-24T16:34:00.001+01:00

It was me on that road
But you couldn`t see me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here

It was me on that road
Still you couldn`t see me
And then flashlights and explosions

Roads are getting nearer
We cover distance but not together
I am the storm and I am the wonder
And the flashlights, nigthmares
And sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

It's about you and the sun
A morning run
The story of my maker
What have I and what I ache for

I`ve got a golden ear
I cut and I spear
And what else is there
Roads are getting nearer
We cover distance still not together

If I am the storm if I am the wonder
Will I have flashlights, nightmares
And sudden explosions

There is no room where I can go and
You`ve got secrets too

I don`t know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

La place des grands hommes

2007-04-23T17:13:00.001+01:00

On s'était dit rendez-vous dans 10 ans
Même jour, même heure, même pommes
On verra quand on aura 30 ans
Sur les marches de la place des grands hommes

Le jour est venu et moi aussi
Mais j' veux pas être le premier.
Si on avait plus rien à se dire et si et si...

Je fais des détours dans le quartier.
C'est fou qu'un crépuscule de printemps.
Rappelle le même crépuscule qu'il y a 10 ans,
Trottoirs usés par les regards baissés.
Qu'est-ce que j'ai fais de ces années ?

J'ai pas flotté tranquille sur l'eau,
Je n'ai pas nagé le vent dans le dos.
Dernière ligne droite, la rue Souflot,
Combien seront là 4, 3, 2, 1... 0 ?

{Refrain}

J'avais eu si souvent envie d'elle.
La belle Séverine me regardera-t-elle ?
Eric voulait explorer le subconscient.
Remonte-t-il à la surface de temps en temps ?
J'ai un peu peur de traverser l' miroir.
Si j'y allais pas... J' me serais trompé d'un soir.
Devant une vitrine d'antiquités,
J'imagine les retrouvailles de l'amitié.
"T'as pas changé, qu'est-ce que tu deviens ?
Tu t'es mariée, t'as trois gamins.
T'as réussi, tu fais médecin ?
Et toi Pascale, tu t' marres toujours pour rien ?"

{Refrain}

J'ai connu des marées hautes et des marées basses,
Comme vous, comme vous, comme vous.
J'ai rencontré des tempêtes et des bourrasques,
Comme vous, comme vous, comme vous.
Chaque amour morte à une nouvelle a fait place,
Et vous, et vous...et vous ?
Et toi Marco qui ambitionnait simplement d'être heureux dans la vie,
As-tu réussi ton pari ?
Et toi François, et toi Laurence, et toi Marion,
Et toi Gégé...et toi Bruno, et toi Evelyne ?

{Refrain}

Et bien c'est formidable les copains!
On s'est tout dit, on s' sert la main !
On ne peut pas mettre 10 ans sur table
Comme on étale ses lettres au Scrabble.
Dans la vitrine je vois le reflet

D'une lycéenne derrière moi.
Si elle part à gauche, je la suivrai.
Si c'est à droite... Attendez-moi !
Attendez-moi ! Attendez-moi ! Attendez-moi !

On s'était dit rendez-vous dans 10 ans,
Même jour, même heure, même pommes.
On verra quand on aura 30 ans
Si on est d'venus des grands hommes...
Des grands hommes... des grands hommes...

Tiens si on s' donnait rendez-vous dans 10 ans...

Old Friends

2007-04-20T23:26:00.001+01:00

Old friends,
Old friends
Sat on their park bench
Like bookends.
A newspaper blown though the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends.

Old friends,
Winter companions,
The old men
Lost in their overcoats,
Waiting for the sunset.
The sounds of the city,
Sifting through trees,
Settle like dust
On the shoulders
Of the old friends.

Can you imagine us
Years from today,
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange
To be seventy.
Old friends,
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears

Lying Eyes

2007-04-17T21:55:00.000+01:00

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the nice anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms,
They fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
You can't hid your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't now way to hide you lyin' eyes
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be
You can't hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes

Just a friend of mine

2007-04-12T17:10:00.001+01:00

He said baby, what’s your name
Are you new in this town?
Since you walked in things don’t look the same
How about sticking around?
The place was dark and the band played loud
His voice sounded kind of dry
He said: who’s that guy with the funny smile?
She said:
He’s just a friend of mine (x 3)

They talked a little, drank a lot
As the evening went by
The place got crowded and the air too hot
He said: who’s that guy following us about?
She said:
He’s just a friend of mine (x 3)

He was nice and gentle, still rough enough
To keep her satisfied
She said: hold it baby, it gets too much
I feel like I’m gonna die
He took her home in the early mornin’
She said: please do come inside
He said: who’s that guy in the dressing gown?
She said:
He’s just a friend of mine (x 3)

He said who’s that guy in the dressing gown
She said baby don’t you mind
He’s just a friend, just a friend,
He’s just a friend of mine

Walk on by

2007-04-09T14:53:00.001+01:00

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
And walk on by
And walk by (don't stop)

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk by (don't stop)

Working Class Hero

2007-04-07T11:49:00.000+01:00

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

Somebody

2007-04-06T10:11:00.000+01:00

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

Hypnotic Tango

2007-04-06T09:39:00.000+01:00

Hypnotic tango, tango, tango!

Stuck in my seat, can't move, no way
The other guys knows the game to play
I'm watchin' her, I'm watchin' me, I'm gettin' brave
Oh, take him apart, say listen to me

Look on the floor and all is spinning round
Someone told me this was just a dance
And take a chance I ain't met before
Do you think I really have a chance? (x 2)

Hypnotic tango, tango, tango!

Rough Diamond he smiles, she looks at him
Ain't gonna be no story in love
Take me to the dancefloor by the hand
Give me this night in a foreign land

Look on the floor and all is spinning round
Someone told me this was just a dance
And take a chance I ain't met before
Do you think I really have a chance? (x 2)
