A night, the moon is smiling, the river is laughing...

----------------------------------------------------

(No Title Yet)

And I'm standing there, thinking things I won't say.
I hear myself and wonder if I'm not someone to slay.
I pray every night in my own way, I have so many wishes.
But instead of dreaming, I'd Better focus on putting something in my dishes.

I happen to wonder if I am real, if someone is at my left.
Sin told me to look at the moon but I'm more than straight.
Oh please Sin, give me a key, I want to be in the spin.
Like every one else I got the disease, and I need to cure within.

Her eyes tell me lies but she doesn't, where could I have been?
In the second zone for a trial or somewhere between.
I told her about my darkest thoughts, she told me to clear the way.
I don't understand, I don't want to, with her I want to share the "may".

Lonely train in my lonely veins, the blood can't get through.
There are no leaders or believers, i'm the only one to know the truth.

But I'm so scared.
I'm in the red.
I love the idea of being dead.
So stupid lying in that bed.

Sin gives me light but I stay in the shadow.
There's an elevator but I prefer going below.
Among the bones and the sharp of galsses, I'm in love with the pieces.
I'm not blond, I'm not pure, I just want to please the masses.

I am so dark cuz it's so cool to look in the wrong way.
When I feel well, euphoria tells me to get away.
Oh please, take that hand which leads you somewhere else.
Cuz I stand here and it feels like a real bad taste.

I love the brown, the black and purple, it fills me up.
When I get down, the last thing I want is to get up.
Take me away, get me out of that bed, I'm starting to feel afraid.
I never smile or it's a fake, my thoughts are for the deads.

I took the boat to go down my river of blood.
I used to go deep down inside and every where, I've never seen a god.

I'm such a shame.
I'm the one to blame.
Give me a lame.
Give me a flame.

"J'ai beau chanté, il n'y a pas de son"

J'ai tant cherché autour de ma maison
Alors qu'il n'y a que des fondations
J'ai beau me torturer de toute façon
Je connais déjà la seule solution

Il faut que j'élargisse mon horizon
Que je retrouve enfin toute ma raison
Que je me détache là de mes haillons
Et que j'attrape le faible papillon

J'ai beau crié aussi fort que deux lions
Je ne suis qu'un tout petit histrion
Je ne suis que la moitié d'une portion
Que le bourgeon éteint en pleine saison

-----------------------------------------------------

FOR ONCE

For once I'd like to watch you right in the eyes
For once I'd like to be tired to live after midnight
For once I'd like to cut out the electricity
For once I'd like to let my egocentricity out
For once I'd like to be your baby bear
For once I'd like to talk to the moon that will answer
For once I'd like to tell you the way it is
For once I'd like you to tell me the truth
For once I'd like one day to have the possibility to tell you how much I love you (and I hope you'll do too)

-----------------------------------------------------

DERRIERE LA PORTE

J'attends des heures devant une porte fermée
J'attends le "back door man", qu'il me montre l'allée

Je ne sais pas vraiment ce que je ferais
Une fois dedans, je veux juste jeter un oeil
Je ne veux pas m'entourer de cercueils
Sans moi ils mouraient

J'ai déjà assez entendu les rois des cons
Qui t'expliquent que tout à une raison
Moi je leur dis que je veux juste entrer
Eux, ils me parlent de clé!

J'ai aussi trop écouté les gens intelligents
Qui te parlent des vrais sentiments
Ceux qui viennent du coeur et qui t'enjolivent
Ils me disent ça autour de Martinis et d'olives

J'ai trop regardé les accrochés dans nos jardins
Je me suis écorchés caché dans mon coin
J'ai voulu les imiter mais j'avais pas d'autre main
Alors j'ai pris la mienne et j'ai prié en vain

J'ai bu toute l'eau de mon ruisseau
Et maintenant j'en cherche un nouveau
On m'a dit que derrière la porte quelqu'un en connaissait un
Et je l'attends pour connaître le chemin

-----------------------------------------------------

I NEED TO GET THERE

I'll give everything to go to the planet caravan
I'll give my soul, my brain, but I'll keep my heart

I'm so lost in here, they're all away from me
I'm so down in the city, looking for something not empty
I'm so self centered, I need to go there
Take me to planet caravan, I got to meet you there

Sunshine is far away, the rain is so beautiful
Planet without desire, just lost in some system
Your pale lights and pityful faces are so wonderful
I want to get there to see who are those "them"

I know I won't get there, so I am gone
I took two pills, saw the lights of heaven
I took the rope and now I'm done
I cracked a match and felt the smells of rotten

And it's starting again

"We are the perfect race, the perfect laces
We own the perfect steel, we don't need anything
We drown the drop of gold and mark your faces
And you start to fear, my friend, but you won't feel a thing

Save us for our insanity, we need your sympathy
We are so far from reality, no need for ectasy
We lead the dogs of war, the axes of the stars
We are the men of great, we always fill the jars

So glad, you can't understand
We are here to pretend
There ain't a thing to understand
We ain't here to make a stand

We hope that you will break
We need the check
We are so great
Out on the deck

So heaven is not our home
We are closer to the caves
We are together with the slaves
We are what made us come "

And as the fog got up, life's sign started to fade away
And now, it's far away...

-----------------------------------------------------

JE NE VEUX PAS MOURIR

Tout est là, je n'ai plus rien à m'en vouloir
Alors pourquoi je me cache des mirroirs?

j'ai tant couru après le temps
De sombres déconvenues infligées par des parvenus
N'ont pas eu pitié de mes faibles sentiments
Et je ne sais plus ce qu'il en est advenu
De tout ce temps envolé avec le vent
Mais peu importe la largesse des avenues
Je sais que je n'en ai plus pour longtemps

J'ai croisé la plus belle des femmes, elle avait une lame
Certainement pour faucher les âmes de tous les perdus
Je sens la peur monter en moi, pas celle des flammes
Mais celle de ne plus la revoir, je ne l'ai qu'entrevue
Et pourtant j'ai senti qu'entre nous tout serait calme
Comme une rivière avant la crue
Tu peux y croire ou rire aux larmes
Je ne saurais jamais ce que j'y ai perdu

Je ne veux pas mourir mais on frappe à la porte
Elle est venue, nue, charmante pour qu'elle m'emporte

Je savais le temps court et je n'ai pas couru
Je savais que longue était l'attente et je n'ai pas attendu

-----------------------------------------------------

THE DRUNKEN SINGER

Ping, pang, c'est con mais ça m'amuse
Il ne me faut pas grand chose pour que j'infuse
Bon repartons, c'est si beau, c'est si bon

Je n'ai pas eu le temps de te connaître assez
Je n'ai pas eu assez le temps de te connaître
Je n'ai vu le passer te faire renaître
Je ne t'ai pas vu renaître dans le passé

Je pars si loin dans ma raison
Ma raison s'éloigne de ton horizon
Je pars si loin dans mon délire
Mon délire se rapproche et ça s'empire

Les portes s'ouvrent vers un futur mais je suis sans passé
J'ai des clés mais c'est de toi que je ne peux me passer
Les portes se ferment sur un passé sans avenir
J'ai un passe pour ouvrir mais je ne peux partir

Pour une fos que je connais le chemin qui est sans fin
J'ai faim de route et j'aime marcher sans fin
Sans faim, je ne suis plus rien et c'est déjà beaucoup
Beaucoup pour celui qui prétend être un peu fou

Maintenant je vais fermer cette gueule puante
Je gueule trop, je préfère quand je chante
Au moins cela n'est pas de moi
Et ça m'éloigne de mon moi

-----------------------------------------------------

I used to like our little walks under the rain
I used to like our fast love under the pain
I used to ride a motorbike without my brain
Now I realize that I'm insane

-----------------------------------------------------

THE BEAUTIFUL EYES EVER

When I took a look in her eyes
I saw that light we all desire
Like a child before pies
She's got the match of my fire

When she looked at her kid
I saw what I was looking for
I saw everything I need
I knew no one can get more

She was the perfection imperfect
What I want and what I reject
She was the true meaning of life
I was the vain, she was the knife

And it flew, and it died
And I grew, and she died
Like a fire without a piece of wood
I knew, I never get close to what I understood

Her tears in her eyes will make me live forever
With something strong that I haven't got identified
Something good that with time is getting better
She's dead, she'll never die, I'm mystified...

------------------------------------------------------

LA FOLIE EST UNE DOUCE MELODIE

Depuis déjà pas mal de temps que je te cogite
Plus je pense à toi et plus je m'approche
Même si nous n'avons eu qu'un accord tacite
Je viendrais près de toi poser une accroche

J'ai déjà tout planifié, tout arrangé
Il y a un coin tout prêt pour toi
Tout près du feu à côté de moi
Tu seras prête à partager

On sera seul tous les deux
Personne d'autre sur les lieux
On sera loin de tous ceux
Qui sont déjà trop vieux

Et tu crieras et personne ne t'entendra
Et tu pleureras et personne ne viendra
Et moi je serais là
Jusqu'à être las

-----------------------------------------------------

PROFIT

You cried for me
As I layed my arms on you
Some drops of water flew on your cheeks
The sky went silent and then rumbled
The lightnings touched the floor
The soil wasn't wet at all
Like an earthquake, it was trembling
We were jumping on trampolines
she was crying, I was laughing
Like the bad buy in the movie
You didn't remember why you cried
This storm was too loud
And so we had to get going
Far from where we had landed
In our run we smashed mantis
You were afraid, I was so excited
The lightnings hit the ground
Yelling, screaming, dog's howlings
Sure you won't forget that night
Sure it touched you right
Yes, I did call for a storm
I got it, without a dance
You thought I were insane, now you think I am a god
Random and luck raised me from the little worm I was
I promised never to call it back
I am her Lord, my biggest lie

-----------------------------------------------------

THE CITY OF LIES

This time I'm sure about it, I've got to go
I got to pack my bags, I have to grow
I got to get away from all those stories
I got to clean my mind of those worries

I've seen what it does to take too many ways
The one that struggles is always the one that pays
I remember memories of yours, I'm sorry, I got to lose
I got to think of tomorrow, I got to choose

Someone's calling me behind my back
If I turn back there will be no turning back
I got to get away from all those flies
I got to get out of the city of lies

--------------------------------------------------------

WHAT I WANT IN THE FIRST PLACE

In the quiet of the night

Where the little one stand for piece
A man came to find a heart
Nobody helped him to find this
That's why he didn't find the part

Yellow light showed him the path
On a map made with silk
Under the ground he found the milk
Re-digested by the aftermath

Lonely time for a fool's quest
On the background of heavenly place
Very few time to find the chest
Embraced by the arms of grace

-----------------------------------------------

STUCK

J'espere que tu vas me trouver, je suis perdu dans mon coin. Au pied du mur, putain, je me fais chier comme jamais, je ne connais pas demain, je me souviens à peine d'hier, je ne sais même plus d'où je viens et enocre moins où je vais, j'ai beau penser sans arrêt à ce que je veux faire, un coup de vent et tout s'envole. Ah putain j'en ai des ons plans, ah putain j'ai des millions d'idées, mais je m'en balance, j'ai juste besoin de ta présence. Si seulement on m'avait raconter l'histoire du petit poucet avant, j'aurais laisser des cailloux, mais maintenant c'est trop tard, je suis coincé dans mon trou.

-----------------------------------

AS STUPID AS ONE CAN BE

We are fucking damned, lost among the mob
We are condamned, host of people with no job
Nevertheless we never look behind
Too busy dancing for the grind

We are fucking doom, we knew the rules
We are doomed, drew by the mules
Nevertheless we never look further
Too busy getting even with the butcher

We are fucking alive, we know pain of desire
We are alive, we blow to tease the fire
Nevertheless we never get burned
Too busy counting money we earned

Desire makes us suffer, breathing life with odor of sulfer
We can't get through this, it's too easy we are lazy, we are crazy

-------------------------------------------------------

HELLO

Some people tell how to fly, but I know I won't
Some people tell that I lie, but I know I don't

Oh, catch me, catch me, catch me, before I touch the sun

Some people misguided me, and I'm really gone
Some people dilighted me, they don't know what they've done

Oh, catch me, catch me, catch me, it's begining to burn

Some people chat a lot, and I don't listen
Some people hijack the pot, I'm still in "even"

Oh, catch me, catch me, catch me, now I missed my turn

Hello

--------------------------------------------------

GOODBYE

I was in heaven before you arrived
Now I'm in hell with you
I like the company of we
That's why, goodbye

I was manipulated before your jive
Now I'm in curse of you
I like the symphony of fony
That's why, goodbye

I was in cage, but I must go
Now You embrace and hug like you
I like the stupidity of me oh me
That's why, goodbye

-------------------------------------------------------

Here it comes again

I finally discovered my land
Lord of my own realm, I came down the mountains and saw
Saw the land of ice and snow
Caves and peaks
Up and down the mountains, the storms lead us to nowhere
I liked to be everywhere
Tranported into the glass room of happyness
Among the white bears and the lakes
Here it comes again

-------------------------------------------------------

DIE TÖTE MÜDE

So many games I played and won
So bad moves I have made
So many charms and weapons
So good days in decay

I cried, I lied, that's what I thought
But then she came around and said

I cried, I lied, and then she came
She showed me the paths of maid

I really thought I was gone, so many miles from here
But now I'm here and with you
Nothing can happen there
I really think I'm saved, and with you I'm so clear
And now I think of past days, no marks, no traces, no clues
Nothing can be elsewhere

I am, we are, so many miles from them
And I still realize we are there

I'm black, I'm back, so many happy faces
And with you my life rides my bike

---------------------------------------------

ALL DEAD (Written with QUEEN's song in my mind)

Nous ne sommes plus des enfants, plus besoin de croire
Tu le sais et pourtant, tu ne cesses pas de boire
J'ai beau te montrer des tableaux, de couleurs éclatées
Tu restes sur le carreau, et tu passes à côté

Partie, d'ici, avec une âme en peine
Tu n'y crois plus, j'ai bien peur que tu ne partes
Partis, si loin, si loin d'ici
Il ne faut pas que tu t'écartes... de moi... t'écartes...

Tu sens le vent qui souffle, à l'oreille de mauvaises idées
Je sais ô combien tu souffres, j'ai peur de te laisser
Tu ne retrouves plus la route, tu ne sembles pas si loin
Ne prends pas l'autoroute, c'est trop cher et trop loin

Tu portes, en toi, les malheurs de tombes
Et tout ça ne t'apporte rien
Tu cours, sur place, dans la pénombre
Ne vas pas si loin, de moi... si loin... de moi...

-----------------------------------------------------

I'm One and you are Two

-----------------------------------------------------

SI LOIN DE MOI...

Si loin de moi, l'idée de rentrer, dans un chemin encombré d'insectes. si loin de moi, l'idée de penser, qu'en haut de la montagne il fait froid. Si loin de moi, l'idée de voir, juste une dernière fois. Si loin de moi, l'idée de lire, il me faudrait un prétexte.

-----------------------------------------------------

DID YOU SEE HIM

Hanging in a tree, playing with his tail.
The little monkey felt down and started to think.
Forgot his instincts and took pleasure of a drink.
Then he started to dress well but ate his nails.

The monkey started to feel about things that were his.
How could he understand that's where this pain came from?
Didn't worry about a thing, he was smilly and pleased.
Did he know by starting to think that he was loosing his kingdom?

Now he needs a referee to blow the whistle.
He needs to possess to feed his hunger.
He needs a princess to calm his anger.
and two doormen to guard his castle.

He was made of nothing, he didn't know.
Now that he knows it, he has to blow.

-----------------------------------------------------

DAMIEN AND LUCY

I am not the kind of guy to fool around
I am attached to your magnetism on the ground
I am not the kind of guy that jumps into the fire
I am devoted to give you Sade's love and desire
I am not the kind of guy that you see in your dream
I am plugged in the holes of burst and steam
I am not the kind of guy to talk about
I am hidden in your basement and I watch out

You want pain, I'll give you pain
If that's the only way to have jive
Yes, we are both demons of primitive pulses
We will not hide cause we don't feel
Don't apply if you don't appeal
And don't forget to burn me with your iron
