Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance

What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred

Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around

Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

All I really want is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Chorus

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...

Chorus

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Je suis née à l'envers
Tout au bout de la mer
Dans un lotus ouvert
Aux bras de Shiva
Loin de chez toi

J'ai grandi, j'ai rêvé
Aux pays des orchidées
Aux masques rouges et dorés
Qui marquent mon âme
Aussi fort que tes charmes

Et j'ai suivi le chant de mes veines
Aussi loin que m'entraînent tes pas
J'ai tourné la rose des vents vers tes plaines
Si fort que j'en saigne parfois
Loin de chez moi

J'ai appris ton espace
Les saisons froides qui passent
Nos cœurs à la surface
Au nord de mes lois
Plus au nord que tu crois

Je veux t'emmener là
Marcher la tête en bas
Saluer Ganesha
Sur les cendres chaudes
De mes rêves émeraude

Et j'ai suivi le chant de mes veines
Aussi loin que m'emmène ta voix
J'ai tourné la rose des vents vers tes plaines
Si fort que j'en saigne parfois
J'ai lâché la rose des vents pour tes signes sur moi
Et je sens ses épines sur moi

Et si je suis fidèle
Aux flèches des hirondelles
Aux elfes qui m'ensorcellent
Au nom de ta voix
Où que tu sois

J'appellerai toujours
La croix du sud au secours
Quand je serai à mon tour
La rose des vents, qui guide les amants

Si j'ai suivi le chant de mes veines
Aussi loin que m'emmène ta voix
J'ai tourné la rose des vents vers tes plaines
Si fort que j'en saigne parfois
Je serai la rose des vents qui parfume
Tes jours et tes lunes
Chez moi, chez moi

When the sun is burning out
And the night is pouring in
Now is the time to run, run boy
Now is the time to hide

There's nobody out on the beach
There's nobody down in the woods
We're gonna do it alone
We're gonna do it outside -

And I can feel the air it's sticking to our skin so tight
And I can feel there's something in this air tonight --
-- I really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
But it's still so good, so good
That I got it at all and it was

Ravishing, ravishing
And I love to see the moonlight
See it shimmer down my dress
It's so ravishing, ravishing
And the wind is like a finger
Tracing patterns on your chest
You're so ravishing

And I know
This is the season that we make our move
This is the season we've got something to prove
And this is the season I've got something to lose
Oh, it's now or it's never
So now and forever, we're

Ravishing, oh-wo-wo (x3)
It's all right
We'll be ravishing each other till the end of this endless night
It's all right, so right, it's all right, so right

And if an angel broke his wings
Would he come to you for parts
I need a couple of wings boy, boy
I need a reason to soar

And if the devil lost his fire
Could he count on you for sparks
There's something was ought to try now
We ought to try it some more -

-- Than anything I ever wanted was to see the light
And there's e chance that we'll be glowing in the dark tonight -

I really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
I really got it bad
Tonight I really got it bad
But it still felt good -- so good --
--Just to get it at all, and it's so

Ravishing, ravishing
-And I can't believe the way the stars are shooting through your hair
You're so ravishing, ravishing
And it's just my luck tonight I don't have anything to wear
We're so ravishing

This is the season that we make our move
This is the season we've got something to prove
This is the season I've got something to lose
And all we ever really needed was

Ravishing, ravishing, Oh-wo-wo (x3)

It's all right
We'll be ravishing each other till the end of this endless night
It's all right, so right, it's all right, so right

Why don't you believe it
when you finally found the truth
You've been drinking poison water
from the fountain of youth
Why don't you stop tearing
everyone you need the most
You're so busy trying to get even
You never even try to get close

I can't explain it away
It doesn't make any sense
To know what it's like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesn't matter baby
Loving you's a dirty job
But somebody's gotta do it

--Boy:
There were times when we'd never fake it
There were times when we'd always make it
There were times when we'd take it to the limit
And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone
We were flesh and blood and bone
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all

--Both:
There were times when we took our chances
There were times we were damn good dancers
There were times when we heard all the answers
In the beating of the drummer
and the riches of the rock and the roll
I can see right through your soul
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all

--Boy:
If your fears could only be forgotten
We could pull all of the barriers down
Would you follow your dreams' desire
Would you follow your secret dreams
and forbidden fire
Let's just peel out of this town

--Both:
It's been nothing but dreams
It's been nothing but dreams until now

--Boy: You're never gonna see it

--Both: You got your head stuck in the sand

--Boy: It's the land of the free and easy street

--Girl: It's the home of the damned

--Boy: You're never gonna see it

--Both: You better open up your eyes

--Both: Who's gonna believe all your lies

--Boy: I can't explain it away It doesn't make any sense

--Both: To know what it's like
I guess you gotta go through it
It doesn't matter baby

--Girl: Loving you's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it

--Boy:
There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we can't stop missing
There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen

--Both:
To the pounding, pounding chorus
of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all

--Girl:
There were times when we fought like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars

--Boy: There were times we extinguished every fire

--Both:
That was burning, burning,
burning up each other alive
From the heavens on down to the dives
There were times we lost it all
There were times we lost it all

There were times when we fought like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars

--Both:
There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we can't stop missing
There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen
To the pounding, pounding chorus
of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all

I'm dialing up the 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again
If you could change the time, a little
then everything would be
fine, fine, fine

Tell me do you have a home-made remedy,
the only time we talk is in our sleep
oh he likes mornings, I like the moon
It`s a typical case of too little, too soon

I'm dialing up the 911
I'm on the brink of trouble again
If you could change the time, a little
then everything would be
fine, fine, fine

Oh I like mornings, he likes the moon
It's a typical case of too late, too soon

I'm dialling up the 911

(got a one track mind)

Something's happening
I want everything
...what does the moment bring
I want it now
(got a one track mind)
I want it, I need it
(got a one track mind)
I really think so

ah, ah...I want everything
and i want it now!

(got a one track mind)

People say to me
mind my Q's and P's
...why do they bother me
something inside
(got a one track mind)
comes over me,
I want it, I need it
(got a one track mind)
I really think so

(got a...)

I climb up the stairs
i sit up and stare
but nobody's there
I ewalk ahead
(got a one track mind)
you fall behind
another victim
got a one track mind

ah, ah...I want everything
and i want it now!

I'll get by just fine
So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goodbye

Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
Don't expect me to be there
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
I'm not over you yet
And I don't think i care
And I don't want to be your friend

I'll forget we ever met
I'll forget I ever let
Ever let you into this heart of mine baby
You just gotta let me be
You gotta keep away from me
'Cause all i want to be is just free of you baby
Don't you come around
And say you still care about me
Go now, go now

Don't call me in the middle of the night...

You take it casually, and thats what's killing me
I'll get by just fine
So if you're goin' then darlin' goodbye, goddbye

Don't call me in the middle of the night no more
Don't expect me top be there
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
No, no baby
Don't call me in the midlle of the night no more
I don't want to be your friend
Don't think that it will be the way it was before
I don't want to be your friend...

What's someone like me
doing in a life like this?
I can't see
what someone like me
is doing in a life like this
slipping back into the past

Sun comes up and streams
through the blinds
and as I throw my clothes on
do my hair wrong
stare into my mirror
telling myself that everyone falls
take the first step
that's the trick of it all
bounce back like a ball

What's someone like me
doing in a life like this?...

My mind is filled with
runaway dreams
I can't wake up
I don't know what it means
you see I fell asleep
with the television on
when I woke up it was gone
I read my horoscope
to see what's in store
I get a little lazy but
I want more, I want more

What's someone like me
doing in a life like this?
I can't see
what someone like me
is doing in a life like this...

toi et moi
nous ne sommes que des soldats de bois
et nous avançons à petits pas
pour faire marcher tout ça

toi et moi
on ne veut plus d'un monde comme ça
on veut l'espoir, l'amour et la joie
on veut changer tout ça

toi tu crois que
demain sera mieux qu'aujour'hui
alors tu sacrifies ta vie
en espérant que

mais tes idées
sont-elles vraiment tes idées
ou des idées, conditionnées
qu'on veut t'inoculer yé yé yé

toi et moi
on ne veut plus marcher de ce pas
on veut l'espoir, l'amour et la joie
on veut changer tout ça

tous ces objets
que l'on veut te faire acheter
pour faire marcher le société
en as-tu besoin vraiment

moi je crois que
tu ne sais pas ce que tu veux
alors tu crois les gens sérieux
qui pensent pour toi
ils ont besoin de toi et moi

qui ne sommes que des soldats de bois
et qui avançons à petits pas
pour faire marcher tout ça

toi et moi
on ne veut plus de ce monde-là
on ne veut plus marcher de ce pas
on veut changer tout ça
ouais !

heureusement
tu as le droit de temps en temps
de vivre comme tu l'entends
quelques fois par an seulement

s'il n'y avait pas cette chance
pour toi et moi
n'y aurait-il pas d'autre issue
que d'aller dans la rue
pour crier que

Chorus

toi et moi
on ne veut plus d'un monde comme ça
on veut l'espoir, l'amour et la joie
on veut changer tout ça

toi et moi
on ne peut plus marcher de ce pas
on veut l'espoir, l'amour et la joie
on veut changer tout ça

Ziggy really sang
Screwed up eyes and screwed down hair-do
Like some cat from Japan
He could lick 'em by smiling
He could leave them to hang
Came on so loaded man
Well hung and snow-white tan

So where were the Spiders
While the flies tried to break our balls
Just the beer light to guide us
So we bitch about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands

Making love with his ego
Ziggy sucked up into his mind
Like a leper messiah
When the kids had killed the man
We had to break up the band

Now Ziggy played guitar

Il a fait tout le tour de la terre
Il a même demandé à Dieu
Il a fait tout l'amour de la terre
Il n'a pas trouvé mieux
Il a croisé les rois de naguère
Tout drapés de diamants et de feu
Mais dans les châteaux des rois de naguère
Il n'a pas trouvé mieux...
Il n'a pas trouvé mieux
Que son lopin de terre
Que son vieil arbre tordu au milieu
Trouver mieux que la douce lumière du soir
Près du feu
Qui réchauffait son père
Et la troupe entière de ses aïeux
Le soleil sur les murs de poussière
Il n'a pas trouvé mieux...

Dans les premiers moments j'ai cru
Qu'il fallait seulement se défendre
Mais cette place est sans issue
Je commence à comprendre
Ils ont refermé derrière moi
Ils ont eu peur que je recule
Je vais bien finir par l'avoir
Cette danseuse ridicule...

Est-ce que ce monde est sérieux ?
Est-ce que ce monde est sérieux ?
Andalousie je me souviens
Les prairies bordées de cactus
Je ne vais pas trembler devant
Ce pantin, ce minus !
Je vais l'attraper, lui et son chapeau
Les faire tourner comme un soleil

Ce soir la femme du torero
Dormira sur ses deux oreilles
Est-ce que ce monde est sérieux ?
Est-ce que ce monde est sérieux ?
J'en ai poursuivi des fantômes
Presque touché leurs ballerines
Ils ont frappé fort dans mon cou
Pour que je m'incline

Je les entends rire comme je râle
Je les vois danser comme je succombe
Je pensais pas qu'on puisse autant
S'amuser autour d'une tombe
Est-ce que ce monde est sérieux ?
Est-ce que ce monde est sérieux ?
Si, si hombre, hombre
Baila, baila

Hay que bailar de nuevo
Y mataremos otros
Otras vidas, otros toros
Y mataremos otros
Venga, venga a bailar...
Y mataremos otros

Quand je serai fatigué
D'avancer dans les brumes d'un rêve
Quand je serai fatigué
D'un métier où tu marches où tu crèves
Lorsque demain ne m'apportera
Que les cris inhumains d'une meute aux abois
J'irai dormir chez la dame de Haute-Savoie

Y'a des étoiles qui courent
Dans la neige autour
De son chalet de bois
Y'a des guirlandes qui pendent du toit
Et la nuit descend
Sur les sapins blancs
Juste quand elle frappe des doigts
Juste quand elle frappe des doigts

Quand j'aurai tout donné
Tout écrit, quand je n'aurai plus ma place
Au lieu de me jeter
Sur le premier Jésus-Christ qui passe
Je prendrai ma guitare avec moi
Et peut-être mon chien
S'il est encore là
Et j'irai dormir chez la dame de Haute-Savoie
Chez la dame de Haute-Savoie

Good-looking, bad-tasting
Full-bodied, butt-wasting
Loose-living, tight-fitting
What you see ain't what you are getting
Big make-up, little break-up
She wants it, he's got it
Cold-blooded, hot gossip
Superficial expectations

Look at me
You can take it all because this face is free
Maybe next time use your eyes and look at me
I'm a drama queen if that's your thing baby
I can even do realit

Look at me
You can take it all because this face is free
Maybe next time use your eyes and look at me
I'm a drama queen if that's your thing baby
I can even do reality

Sometimes I don't recognise my own face
I look inside my eyes and find disgrace
My little white lies tell a story
I see it all, it has no glory
Hahaha

Look at me
You can take it all because this face is free
Maybe next time use your eyes and look at me
I'm a drama queen if that's your thing baby
I can even do reality

Come and look at me
This face is free
I'm your fantasy
Who do you wannabe?
Not what you see
I'm a drama queen if that's your thing
Come on and look at me
I'm your fantasy
This face is free
Come on and look at me
So who do you wannabe?
This is free...

Alors tu m'aimes les yeux fermés
Sans regarder mon coeur de verre
Tu sais j'ai peur que tu lises à travers
Mon coeur de verre
Ça peut mourir si ça reste entrouvert

Tu tournes autour de moi
Est ce que tu m'aimes vraiment
J'veux pas savoir de quoi
Sont faits nos sentiments

Alors je t'aime les yeux fermés
Sans te montrer mon coeur de verre
Je crois qu'j'ai peur que tu lises à travers
Les coeurs de verre
Ça peut mourir si ça reste entrouvert

Alors tu m'aimes les yeux fermés
Sans regarder mon coeur de verre
Tu sais j'ai peur que tu lises à travers
Mon coeur de verre
Ça peut mourir si ça reste entrouvert
Ça peut mourir si ça reste entrouvert

J'ai tendance à rêver
A oublier les gens
A pas les écouter
Ou bien à faire semblant
Moi j'aime bien m'absenter
Je sais c'est énervant
J'peux pas vraiment lutter
Contre mon tempérament

J'ai tendance à aimer
A me bercer d'illusions
A m'laisser entraîner
Sans me poser de questions
Je veux juste oublier
Etre toujours dans la lune
Croire que c'est arrivé
Quand je rame sur les dunes

C'est vrai, c'est vrai
J'ai tendance à rêver
Alors je gâche des instants
Des occases de t'aimer
C'est vrai, c'est vrai
J'suis vraiment tête en l'air
Mais faut pas m'abandonner
Dans les rues en hiver
Faut pas m'abandonner
Dans les rues en hiver

J'ai tendance à rêver
Pour compenser le vide
A doucement m'esquiver
Pour ne pas prendre une ride
Oh j'ai la peur tu sais
Qui me tenaille le ventre
Des entailles dans le cœur
Et une flèche en plein centre

C'est vrai, c'est vrai
J'ai tendance à rêver
Mais ça m'empêche pas de t'aimer
Ca j'en fais le serment
Ca m'empêche pas de t'aimer
Ca j'en fais le serment

C'est vrai, c'est vrai
J'ai tendance à rêver
Alors je gâche des instants
Des occases de t'aimer
C'est vrai, c'est vrai
J'oublie le plus important
Mais ça m'empêche pas de t'aimer
Ca j'en fais le serment
Ca ne m'empêche pas de t'aimer
Ca j'en fais le serment
Ca j'en fais le serment

Egare dans la vallee infernale
Le heros s'appelle Bob Morane
A la recherche de l'ombre jaune
Le bandit s'appelle Mr Kali-Jones
Avec l'ami Bill Ballantine
Sauve de justesse des crocodiles
Stop au trafic des Caraibes
Escale dans l'operation Nadawieb

Le coeur tendre dans le lit de Miss Clark
Prisonniere du sultan de Jarawak
En pleine terreur a Manicouagan
Isole dans la jungle birmane
Emprisonnant les flibustiers
L'ennemi est demasque
On a vole le collier de Civa
Le maharaja en repondra

Et soudain surgit face au vent
Le vrai heros de tous les temps
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L'aventurier contre tout guerrier
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L'aventurier contre tout guerrier

Derivant a bord du sampan
L'aventure au parfum d'Ylalang
Son surnom, Samourai du soleil
En demantelant le gang de l'archipel
L'otage des guerriers du Doc Xathan
Il s'en sortira toujours a temps
Tel l'aventurier solitaire
Bob Morane est le roi de la terre

Et soudain surgit face au vent
Le vrai heros de tous les temps
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L'aventurier contre tout guerrier
Bob Morane contre tout chacal
L'aventurier contre tout guerrier

I see the bad moon arisin'
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today

Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

Well, don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

Ici Ici j'ai connu la nuit
J'ai reçu la pluie
comme une délivrance
Parfois, touché le silence
Ici, ici, j'ai appris l'oubli

Ici, Ici, j'ai déjà aimé
même détesté
Au delà du bien
Aimé, au delà du mal
ici, pouvoir tout recommencer

C'est comme si un ange soudain
Me retenait les mains
J'ai regagné enfin la lumière
la certitude d'être forte et debout
Comme un instant de paix
à travers les éclairs
Je suis du ciel,
du ciel et de la terre

Mais ici, ici j'ai vu la colère
mes peines se défairent
mes envies de batailles
laissées aux chiens de paille
ici, enfin tout ressemble à la vie

ici, enfin s'envole ma vie
s'éloigne la pluie
c'était la nuit

On est bien peu de choses
Et mon amie la rose
Me l'a dit ce matin
À l'aurore je suis née
Baptisée de rosée
Je me suis épanouie
Heureuse et amoureuse
Au rayon du soleil
Me suis fermée la nuit
Me suis réveillée vieille
Pourtant j'étais très belle
Oui j'étais la plus belle
Des fleurs de ton jardin

On est bien peu de choses
Et mon amie la rose
Est morte ce matin
La lune cette nuit
A veillé mon amie
Moi en rêve j'ai vu
Éblouissante et nue
Son âme qui dansait
Bien au delà de vue
Et qui me souriait
Croit celui qui peut croire
Moi j'ai besoin d'espoir
Sinon je ne suis rien

On est bien peu de choses
Et mon amie la rose
Me l'a dit ce matin
Vois le dieu qui m'a faite
M'a fait courber la tête
Et je sens que je tombe
Et je sens que je tombe
Mon coeur est presque nu
J'ai un pied dans la tombe
Déjà je ne suis plus
Tu m'admirais que hier
Et je serais poussière
Pour toujours demain

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich,
dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
von 99 Luftballons
auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont.
Denkst du vielleicht grad an mich,
dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
von 99 Luftballons,
und daß so was von so was kommt.

99 Luftballons
auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
hielt man für UFOs aus dem All.
darum schickte ein General
'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher,
Alarm zu geben, wenn's so wär',
dabei waren da am Horizont
nur 99 Luftballons.

99 Düsenflieger,
jeder war ein großer Krieger,
hielten sich für Captain Kirk.
Das gab ein großes Feuerwerk.
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
und fühlten sich gleich angemacht.
Dabei schoß man am Horizont
auf 99 Luftballons.

99 Kriegsminister -
Streichholz und Benzinkanister -
hielten sich für schlaue Leute,
witterten schon fette Beute.
Riefen Krieg und wollten Macht,
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht?
Daß es einmal soweit kommt
wegen 99 Luftballons.

99 Jahre Krieg
ließen keinen Platz für Sieger.
Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr
und auch keine Düsenflieger.
Heute zieh' ich meine Runden,
seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen.
Hab' 'nen Luftballon gefunden,
denk an dich und lass' ihn fliegen.

J'ai fait le tour de la Terre, sous un lampadaire
Et ça m'a mis la tête à l'envers
J'ai fait la révolution, j'aimais bien dire non
Mais j'attends toujours le grand frisson
Hier j'ai manqué d'air, à Buenos Aires
J'ai tout perdu au poker
De toutes manières faut pas s'en faire
Je finirai en poussière

J'ai tout joué, tout fumé, tout donné
J'ai déjà tout essayé
J'ai tout déchiré, cassé, tout brûlé
J'en ai plus rien à cirer

J'ai relu tout La Bruyère, j'ai encore les nerfs
Je vais me remettre aux somnifères
J'ai rencontré un Berbère, qui fait des haltères
Mais il ne danse pas comme Fred Astaire
J'en ai pris pour perpette, faut que je m'arrête
C'est pas tous les jours ma fête
Je ne suis pas parfaite, faut que tu l'admettes
Par la barbe du prophète

J'ai tout joué, tout fumé, tout donné
J'ai déjà tout essayé
J'ai tout déchiré, cassé, tout brûlé
J'en ai plus rien à cirer

J'en ai pris pour perpette, faut que je m'arrête
C'est pas tous les jours ma fête
De toutes manières faut pas s'en faire
Je finirai en poussière

J'ai tout joué, tout fumé, tout donné
J'ai déjà tout essayé
J'ai tout déchiré, cassé, tout brûlé
J'en ai plus rien à cirer

J'ai vu Berlin, Bucarest et Pékin comme si j'y étais.
Matin et soir le nez dans la télé, c'est encore plus vrai.
J'étais de tous les combats, collée devant l'écran.
A la fois à Soweto, en Chine et au Liban.
Lancer des pierres au bord de Gaza, je ne regrette pas.
Des religieux, au nom de leur foi, m'ont lance une fatwa.

J'ai vu la guerre, la victoire était au bout de leur fusils.
J'ai vu le sang sur ma peau, j'ai vu la fureur et les cris
Et j'ai prié, j'ai prié tous ceux qui se sont sacrifiés.
J'ai vu la mort se marrer et ramasser ceux qui restaient...
Et j'ai vu...

Que cent mille fleurs s'ouvrent a jamais, et j'ai deja donné.
Les drapeaux rouges ont cessé de flotter, je les ai brûlés.
Un homme ce matin s'est jeté sous un train.
Abandonné comme un chien, la misère et la faim.
La pire est à craindre pour demain :
Ca ne me fait rien
Accrochée à ma fenêtre bleutée,
J'ai cherché la vérité.

Refrain

Elle n'était pas du genre à se faire remarquer.
C'était jamais elle qu'on invitait à danser.
Elle avait plutôt l'impression de gêner.
Peut-être avait-elle envie de tout casser.

Elle habitait plus loin, dans la rue d'à coté.
Je suis sûre que vous l'avez déjà rencontré.
Son visage était transparent comme l'été
Mais elle avait toujours l'air de s'ennuyer.

Elle voulait toucher le soleil.
Rien ne sera pareil,
Perdu dans son sommeil
Et puis les nuages étincellent
Sur des étangs de miel
Et mes larmes sont belles.

J'ai toujours su qu'elle allait partir en fumée.
Elle aurait tout donné pour se faire oublier.
Un matin, en silence, elle s'est défilée
Et elle est partie sur la pointe des pieds.

Elle avait décidé de ne plus s'inquiéter.
C'était la fin de l'hiver, mais elle s'en foutait.
Au bord du quai, doucement elle a sauté.
Ses cheveux, lentement, dans l'eau ont flotté.

Elle voulait toucher le soleil.
Rien ne sera pareil,
Perdu dans son sommeil
Et puis les nuages étincellent
Sur des étangs de miel
Et mes larmes sont belles.

Elle avait décidé de ne plus s'inquiéter.
C'était la fin de l'hiver, mais elle s'en foutait.
Au bord du quai, doucement elle a sauté.
Ses cheveux, lentement, dans l'eau ont flotté.

Elle voulait toucher le soleil.
Rien ne sera pareil,
Perdu dans son sommeil
Et puis les nuages étincellent
Sur des étangs de miel
Et mes larmes sont belles.

Elle voulait toucher le soleil.
Rien ne sera pareil,
Perdu dans son sommeil
Et puis les nuages étincellent
Sur des étangs de miel
Et mes larmes sont belles.

T'es perdu dans la vallée
Tes rivières sont toujours sans retour
Tu passes tes nuits à chasser
Mais tes rêves sont en contre jour
Mon cavalier solitaire, au coeur pur et clair
Tu n'as pas l'air très très fier au milieu du désert

Oh non, pauvre chéri
Ton western est fini
Oh non, ton Missouri
Il passe au ralenti

Quand t'es seul sous les étoiles
Pour toi c'est l'endroit idéal
Et sous le vent de la plaine
Tu crois poursuivre les cheyennes
Si le sang coule dans la prairie, tu sais qui t'a trahit
Et quand le ciel sera au rouge, tu tires tout ce qui bouge

Oh non, pauvre chéri
Ton western est fini
Oh non, ton Missouri
Il passe au ralenti

Mon cavalier solitaire, au coeur pur et clair
Tu n'as pas l'air très très fier au milieu du désert

Oh non, pauvre chéri
Ton western est fini
Oh non, ton Missouri
Il passe au ralenti

Our one source of energy
The ultimate discovery
Electric blue for me
Never more to be free
Electricity
Nuclear and HEP
Carbon fuels from the sea
Wasted electricity

Our one source of energy
Electricity
All we need to live today
A gift for man to throw away
The chance to change has nearly gone
The alternative is only one
The final source of energy
Solar electricity

Electricity
Electricity
Electricity
Electricity
Electricity
E . . .

My obsession, it's my creation, you'll understand, it's not important now

All I need is coordination, I can't imagine my destination
My intention, ask my opinion, with no excuse, my feelings still remain

My feelings still remain

Oh, tout semble avoir été perdu
Pas un seul coeur solitaire
Tous ont déserté les rues
Et si les plus belles sont déjà prises
Si les plus beaux sont 'comme ils disent'
Que deviens-tu?

Oh, tu prends la pause devant ta glace
Pour un nouvel inventaire
Avant d'y perdre la face
Tu veux crier au secours
Revoir la lueur du jour
Aimer encore
Aimer plus fort

Quand l'Amour n'est plus là
Que te reste-t-il pour survivre ici-bas?
Donne le meilleur de toi même
et tu trouveras l'Amour suprême
L'Amour suprême

Oh, sais-tu au moins ce que tu veux?
Est-ce la peur d'être seul
Qui t'empêche de jouer franc jeu
Entre l'amour et le plaisir
Quel est vraiment ton désir?
Tu dois choisir

Oh, oublie toutes ces choses de la vie
Qui reviennent torturer
Le grand vide de tes nuits
Prends un ticket pour Ailleurs
Sans te priver du bonheur
D'aimer encore
D'aimer plus fort

Quand l'Amour n'est plus là
Que te reste-t-il pour survivre ici-bas?
Donne le meilleur de toi même
et tu trouveras l'Amour suprême
L'Amour suprême

I spy with my little eye
Something beginning with (ah)
Got my back up
And now she's screaming so I've got to turn the track up
Sit back and watch the royalties stack up
I know this girl she likes to switch teams
And I'm a fiend but I'm living for a love supreme

Quand l'Amour n'est plus là
Que te reste-t-il pour survivre ici-bas?
Donne le meilleur de toi même
et tu trouveras l'Amour suprême
L'Amour suprême

Donne le meilleur de toi-même
Viens vivre un Amour Suprême
Tout le monde a besoin d'amour...

Donne le meilleur de toi-même
Viens vivre un Amour Suprême
Tout le monde a besoin d'amour

My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make up
And thats a good line to take it to The bridge

And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before I'm old I'll confess

You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

My bed's full of takeaways and fantasies of easy lays
The pause button's broke on my video
And is this real 'cos I feel fake, Oprah Winfrey, Rikki Lake
Teach me things I don't need to know

And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before I'm old I'll confess

You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

If I did it all again I'd be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
I'm still young we're still young
Step inside the sun

And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow

You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame

It seems like years since you held the baby
While I wrecked the bedroom
You said it was dangerous after Sunday
And I knew you loved me
He thinks I just became famous
And that's what messed me up
But he's wrong
How could I possibly know what I want
When I was only twenty-one?
And there's millions of people
To offer advice and say how I should be
But they're twisted
And they will never be any influence on me
But you will always be
You will always be

If I treated you mean
I really didn't mean to
But you know how it is
And how a pregnancy can change you

I see plenty of clothes that I like
But I won't go anywhere nice for a while
All I want to do is just sit here
And write it all down and rest for a while
I can't bear to be in another city
One where you are not
I would return to nothing without you
If I'm your girlfriend or not

Maybe I was mean
But I really don't think so
You asked if I'm scared
And I said so

Everyone can see what's going on
They laugh `cause they know they're untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
It might be brave
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace

Maybe it sounds mean
But I really don't think so
You asked for the truth and I told you

Through their own words
They will be exposed
They've got a severe case of
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie style that no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft
He's in the army now, a-blowin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam
It really brought him down because he couldn't jam
The captain seemed to understand
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted a band
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

A-toot, a-toot, a-toot-diddelyada-toot
He blows it eight-to-the-bar, in boogie rhythm
He can't blow a note unless the bass and guitar is playin' with 'im
He makes the company jump when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

He was our boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
And when he plays boogie woogie bugle he was buzy as a "bzzz" bee
And when he plays he makes the company jump eight-to-the-bar
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Toot-toot-toot, toot-diddelyada, toot-diddelyada
Toot, toot, he blows it eight-to-the-bar
He can't blow a note if the bass and guitar isn't with 'im
A-a-a-and the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

He puts the boys asleep with boogie every night
And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright
They clap their hands and stamp their feet
Because they know how he plays when someone gives him a beat
He really breaks it up when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da da
Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da da
Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da da
Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da
A-a-a-and the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B!

Gather 'round me, everybody
Gather 'round me while I'm preachin'
Feel a sermon comin' on me
The topic will be sin and that's what I'm ag'in'
If you wanna hear my story
The settle back and just sit tight
While I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do just when everything looked so dark?

Man, they said "We'd better accentuate the positive"
"Eliminate the negative"
"And latch on to the affirmative"
Don't mess with Mister In-Between, No!
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

Ya got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene

You got to ac (yes, yes) -cent-tchu-ate the positive
Eliminate (yes, yes) the negative
And latch (yes, yes) on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, don't mess with Mister In-Between

If you ever go down Trinidad
They make you feel so very glad
Calypso sing and make up rhyme
Guarantee you one real good fine time

Drinkin' rum and Coca-Cola
Go down Point Koomahnah
Both mother and daughter
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

Oh, beat it man, beat it

Since the Yankee come to Trinidad
They got the young girls all goin' mad
Young girls say they treat 'em nice
Make Trinidad like paradise

Chorus

Oh, you vex me, you vex me

From Chicachicaree to Mona's Isle
Native girls all dance and smile
Help soldier celebrate his leave
Make every day like New Year's Eve

Chorus

It's a fact, man, it's a fact

In old Trinidad, I also fear
The situation is mighty queer
Like the Yankee girl, the native swoon
When she hear der Bingo croon

Chorus

Out on Manzanella Beach
G.I. romance with native peach
All night long, make tropic love
Next day, sit in hot sun and cool off

Chorus

It's a fact, man, it's a fact

Rum and Coca-Cola
Rum and Coca-Cola
Workin' for the Yankee dollar

The hero is exposed when
His crimes are brought to the light of day
Won't be feelin' sorry, sorry, sorry
On the judgement day.

It wasn't me who said
There'll be a price to pay
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no.

Your mother told you stories
You substitute with girls who tell you more
Suddenly you sight a fancy chance
Since love is at your door.

We're seeing through you now
I saw it all before
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no.

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, uh-huh oh.

Emotion is a virtue
For you, it is the one fatal flaw
Sitting on your throne and drinking,
Thinking she'll return your call.

Every story's got an ending
Look out! Here it comes, here it comes
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh woe, woe hoe.

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, uh-huh oh.

Six o'clock already I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late 'cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made.

It's just another manic Monday (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my Funday (oh-woe)
My I don't have to runday (oh)
It's just another manic Monday.

Have to catch an early train, got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane, I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train but the boss is already there.

Chorus

All of my nights why did my lover have to pick last night to get down (last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us, employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice:
"C'mon honey, let's go make some noise" (ba ba ba baaaa)
Time, it goes so fast (when you're having fun).

It's just another manic Monday (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my Funday (oh-woe)
My I don't have to runday (woe)
It's just another manic Monday (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my funday (oh)
It's just another manic Monday.

Oooooh.

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

I'd say her values are corrupted
But she's open to change
Then one day she's satisfied
And the next I'll find her crying
And it's nothing she can explain.

Chorus

Some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she won't understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line when they could fly.

No sense thinking I could rehabilitate her
When she's fine, fine, fine
She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesn't need nothing from mine.

Chorus

But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

(He'd be giving it to her)
(He could give her that too)
(But he can't see through her)
Ooooooh
Giving it to her
Giving it to her now

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken

But You see it's not me,
It s not my family
In your head,in your
Head they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head,
In your head they are cryin'
In your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks
In your head they are dying

In your head, in your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

I wanna see it painted black, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah

Walking home in the rain
Blood runs cold in my veins
News from a distant shore
Blues like never before

The moon is new
The moon is full
The moon is blue
The moon is cruel
Painted moon

Coming to the rescue
Angels from another World
Love is here to stay
So the angels say
Running to the rescue
Angels flying up above
Phantoms in the bay
While the natives pray
To the painted moon

I wash my face and get dressed
Time cuts into my wrist
So who invents our dreams
The hands that hold me the machine

I remember it was late one night
in the middle of a dream
woke up in a pool of sweat
thought I heard a scream
Ran over to the window sill
stuck my head out for a peek
Dressed in black was a man I didn't recognise
running down my back street
My heart skipped a beat

You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out when he comes around
Don't make a sound

Got the morning paper and the headlines read:
"Danger to the queen"
Buckingham Palace better tighten things up
The son of a bitch is mean
Vendors on the corner just doin' their job
acting like nothing's new
Scotland Yard's still looking for him
but he doesn't leave a single clue

Chorus

Chorus

You better watch out...

I got your letter stating I'm the only one
Are you forgetting all the damage that I've done
Are you waiting, contemplating why you changed your mind
Can't push my luck, good ones are getting hard to find

I'm wond'ring now if everything will be the same
I feel so empty knowing I'm the one to blame
And all along I never thought I stood a chance
Those lonely hours, mem'ries of you did enhance

The timing's right for all our diff'rences to end
We've come so far from all the places that we've been
My heart is telling me that you're my closest friend
It's alright, hold on tight, and do it all again

Chorus 2x

Toledo was just another good stop
Along the good king's highway
My fortification took me by surprise
And hit me sending me sideways
Spellbound - Roundly - Good for sunshine
Can't help thinking

Singing Rule Britannia
And this is where it grabs you
There's method in the key of C
Toledo's got to be the silver city
In this good country

Our song
It gives us a reason
Our song
That good remedy
Music has magic
That stuff of syncopation

Ever tried driving it to golden heights
Just simply jiving it
My mystification it got a
Jewel skies crazy spacing it
Hot sun - Crowded - Screams high voices
Singing speechless

Touching of the healing heart
So this is where we really start
Music is a shout of foregone conclusions
As long as music plays its part
Good good part

Chorus

Treat it good
Treat it rightly
And if you get it flowing
The harmony is glowing
So get ready
So get ready
Don't go toledo toledo don't go
Music - Good to you
Music - Good to you
