TRICK OF THE NIGHT
When the day is over
And the work is done
Well it's a different story
As the darkness comes around
I tried to let you know
You're going the wrong way
And the streets you thought
Would all be paved with gold
But when the wind cuts through
You'd even try to sell your soul
Everywhere you go
It's the long way
Now you're no longer
Just the boy next door
When they were falling in love
With that clean cut smile
Change of style
Just for a little while
Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing
Walking through danger
Can't see the wrong or the right
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing
Can't be a stranger
Must be a trick of the night
Well its a laugh a minute
And you can't decide
Between the burning question
And the fortune in his eyes
You never let it show
Or take it the wrong way
Sometimes you wonder
What you came here for
Oh, they could tear you apart
With those bare faced lies
Can't disguise
All the hurt you're feeling inside
Of the night, of the night
Must be a trick of the night
When the day is over
And the work is done
Well it's a different story
As the darkness comes around
And the streets you thought
Would all be paved with gold
But when the wind cuts through
You'd even try to sell your soul
And the work is done
Well it's a different story
As the darkness comes around
I tried to let you know
You're going the wrong way
And the streets you thought
Would all be paved with gold
But when the wind cuts through
You'd even try to sell your soul
Everywhere you go
It's the long way

Just the boy next door

ROUGH JUSTICE
The young don't grow up
Well not in this life
Big mouths and money
Win every time
Boy beats girl
While the sneaky and snide
Take all your money
And take your pride
Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die
Don't call that justice
Children are starving on the street
Another one disappearing every week
Don't call that justice
King for a day
But their kingdom grows cold
They'll never grow up
But they're bound to grow old
I remember the pain
And humiliation
And I'll show them rough justice
The way that they did
Boy beats girl
While the sneaky and snide
Take all your money
And take your pride
Don't call that justice...
Well not in this life

CRUEL SUMMER
Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but
The air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got
Right out of hand
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but
The air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got
Right out of hand
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
ROBERT DE NIRO'S WAITING
Hopes dashed to the floor
Like shattered teenage dreams
Boys living next door
Are never what they seem
A walk in the park can become a bad dream
People are staring and following me
This is my only escape from it all
Watching a film or a face on the wall
Robert De Niro's waiting
Talking Italian

Don't try to change me you're wasting your time
Now I've got something much better in mind

REALLY SAYING SOMETHING
Hey yeah yeah
I was walking down the street
(Do-wah do-wah)
When this boy started following me
(Oh yeah)
Now I ignored all the things he said
(Do-wah do-wah)
He moved me in every way
With his collar unbuttononed
On my side he was struttin'
He was really saying something
(Saying something)
Really saying something
(Saying something)
Bop bop shoo be do-wah
Bop bop shoo be do-wah
He flirted every step of the way
(Do-wah do-wah)
I could hear every word he'd say
(Oh yeah)
My resistance was getting low
(Do-wah do-wah)
And my feelings started to show
My heart started thumpin'
Blood pressure jumpin'
He walked me to my door
(Do-wah do-wah)
I agreed to see him once more
(Oh yeah)
Lady like it may not be
(Do-wah do-wah)
But he moved me tremendously
Although he was bold
My heart he stole

HELP!
Help! I need somebody
Help! Not just anybody
Help! You know I need someone
Help!
When I was younger so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone
I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind
I've opened up the doors
Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being ‘round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?
And now my life has changed in so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like
I've never done before
Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being ‘round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?

NATHAN JONES
You packed your bags as I recall
And you walked slowly down the hall
You said you had to get away to ease your mind
And all you needed was a just little of time
Oh winter's passed, spring and fall
You never wrote me, you never called
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Gone too long...
If a woman could die of tears
Nathan Jones, well, I wouldn't be here
The key that you're holding won't fit my door
And there's no room in my heart for you no more
'Cause, winter's passed, spring and fall
you never wrote me, you never called
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Gone too long
Nathan Jones, Nathan Jones...
Nathan Jones, ooh..
Winter's passed, spring and fall
You never wrote me, you never called
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Gone too long
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
...gone too long
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
...gone too long
Nathan jones you've been gonne too long
... gone too long...
And you walked slowly down the hall

LOVE, TRUTH AND HONESTY
Never trust your own emotions
They'll always let you down
And the one that's closest to you
May not always be around
I never questioned
The promises you made
Every time I gave my heart
I was betrayed
What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me
Maybe everyone's a stranger
I watch them come and go
But I think everyone's in danger
If they let their feelings show
There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Dont let it be betrayed
What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to me
They'll always let you down
And the one that's closest to you
May not always be around
I never questioned
The promises you made
Every time I gave my heart
I was betrayed
What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me
Maybe everyone's a stranger
I watch them come and go
But I think everyone's in danger
If they let their feelings show
There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Dont let it be betrayed
What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to me
I WANT YOU BACK
Don't take away
No don't take away, no
The room has suddenly grown cold
And outside in the street it's raining
You packed your bags and said goodbye
You took my heart without explaining
How could you go
How could you go
We had a love most people never know
Ooh stop before you break my heart
I want you back, don't care what I have to do
I want you back
I want you back, gotta get it through to you
I want you back
If I can make you see
Only you can fill the need in me
If you walk away
You'll regret it some day
Please stay
This room is full of memories and
Shadows of the past remind me
Of all the love I gave in vain and
All the hurt I feel inside me
I want you back
I want you back
We had a love most people never know
Ooh stop before you break my heart
Don't take away
No don't take away, no

LOVE IN THE FIRST DEGREE
Last night I was dreaming
I was locked in a prison cell
When I woke up I was screaming
Calling out your name (whoa)

I HEARD A RUMOUR
Who needs friends who never show
I'll tell you what you want to know
I could have saved a broken heart
If I'd found out long ago
I'm just thinking about
Those lonely nights
When I waited for your call
'Til I found out
All my friends were right
I didn't know you at all
I heard a rumour
(Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour)
They say you got a broken heart
I heard it
I heard a rumour
(Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour)
Yes I did, boy ooh, ooh, ooh
Now it seems they're telling me
You've changed your wicked ways
But should I give you a second chance
Baby, I'm too afraid
So you realise what hurt you made
And the love you threw away
How can I forgive or soon forget
It's never gonna be the same
I'll tell you what you want to know
I could have saved a broken heart
If I'd found out long ago
I'm just thinking about
Those lonely nights
When I waited for your call
'Til I found out
All my friends were right
I didn't know you at all
I heard a rumour
(Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour)
They say you got a broken heart
I heard it
I heard a rumour
(Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour)
Yes I did, boy ooh, ooh, ooh
Now it seems they're telling me
You've changed your wicked ways
But should I give you a second chance
Baby, I'm too afraid
So you realise what hurt you made
And the love you threw away
How can I forgive or soon forget
It's never gonna be the same

Oh, nobody calls me on the telephone
I put another record on my stereo
But I'm still singing a song of you
it's a lonely Saturday night
Now, if I was an actor
or a dancer who is glamorous
then, you know, amorous life would soon be mine
But now the tinsel light of star break
is all that's left to applaud my heart break
and eleven o'clock I watch the network news
Oh, woh, woh, something tells me that you're really gone
you said we could be friends
but that's not what's not what I want
Ah, anyway, my TV-dinner's almost done
it's a lonely Saturday night
I mean to tell you, it's a lonely Saturday night

WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
Holly came from Miami, FLA
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
She said, Hey honey
Take a walk on the wild side
Candy came from out on the Island
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
Said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go doo do doo do doo do do doo, ....
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hussle here and a hussle there
New York City's the place where they said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
I said, Hey Joe
Take a walk on the wild side
Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen 'em go go go
They said, Hey sugar
Take a walk on the wild side
I Said, Hey babe
Take a walk on the wild side
All right, huh
Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, Hey babe,
Take a walk on the wild side
I said, Hey honey,
Take a walk on the wild side

HANG' 'ROUND
Harry was a rich young man
who would become a priest
He dug up his dear father
who was recently deceased
He did it with tarot cards
and a mystically attuned mind
And shortly there
and after he did find
Jeanie was a spoiled young brat
she thought she knew it all
She smoked mentholated cigarettes
and she had sex in the hall
But she was not my kind
or even of my sigh
The kind of animal
that I would be about
Woh-woh-woh, you keep hangin' round me
and I'm not so glad you found me
You're still doing things that I gave up years ago
Oh-woh-woh-woh, you keep hangin' round me
and I'm not so glad you found me
You're still doing things that I gave up years ago
all right now
ah-huh-huh
Kathy was a bit surreal
she painted all her toes
And on her face she wore dentures
clamped tightly to her nose
And when she finally spoke
her twang her glasses broke
And no one else could smoke
while she was in the room
Hark the herald angels sang
and reached out for a phone
And plucking it with a knife in hand
dialed long distance home
But it was all too much
sprinkling angel dust
To AT and T
who didn't wish you well
Oh, but you keep hangin' round me
and I'm not so glad you found me
You're still doing things that I gave up years ago
Ho-ho-ho-ho, you keep hangin' round me
and I'm not so glad you found me
You're still doing things that I gave up years ago
Hangin' round
hangin' round, that's all you're doing baby

ANDY'S CHEST
If I could be anything
in the world that flew
I would be a bat and come
swooping after you
And if the last time you were here
things were a bit askew
Well, you know what happens after dark
When rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts
And all the missionaries lose their bark
Oh, all the trees are calling after you
And all the venom snipers after you
Are all the mountains boulder after you
If I could be any one of the things
in this world that bite
Instead of a dentured ocelot on a leash
I'd rather be a kite
And be tied to the end of your string
and flying in the air, baby, at night
'Cause you know what they say about honey bears
When you shave off all their baby hair
You have a hairy minded pink bare bear
And all the bells are rolling out for you
And stones are all erupting out for you
And all the cheap bloodsuckers are flying after you
Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff
were groovin' on the street
And just like in a movie
her hands became her feet
Her belly button was her mouth
which meant she tasted what she'd speak, ooohhh
But the funny thing is what happened to her nose, ooohhh
It grew until it reached all of her toes, ooohhh
Now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose
And curtains laced with diamonds, dear for you
And all the Roman noblemen for you
And kingdom's Christian soldiers, dear for you
And melting ice cap mountains tops for you
Oh, oh, and knights in flaming silver robes for you
And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you
Swoop, swoop, oh, baby, rock, rock
Swoop, swoop, rock, rock
Swoop, swoop, rock, rock
in the world that flew
I would be a bat and come
swooping after you
And if the last time you were here
things were a bit askew
Well, you know what happens after dark
When rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts
And all the missionaries lose their bark
Oh, all the trees are calling after you

VICIOUS
Vicious
you hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
oh, baby, you're so vicious
Vicious
you want me to hit you with a stick
But all I've got is a guitar pick
huh, baby, you're so vicious
When I watch you come
baby, I just want to run far away
You're not the kind of person around I
want to stay
When I see you walking down the street
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I want to meet
Oh, baby, you're so vicious
you're just so vicious
Vicious
hey, you hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
oh, baby you're so vicious
Vicious
hey, why don't you swallow razor blades
You must think that I'm some kind of gay blade
but baby, you're so vicious
When I see you coming
I just have to run
You're not good and you certainly aren't
very much fun
When I see you walking down the street
I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I'd even want to meet
'Cause you're so vicious
baby, you're so vicious
Vicious, vicious
vicious, vicious
Vicious, vicious
vicious, vicious
you hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
oh, baby, you're so vicious
Vicious
you want me to hit you with a stick
But all I've got is a guitar pick
huh, baby, you're so vicious
When I watch you come
baby, I just want to run far away
You're not the kind of person around I
want to stay
When I see you walking down the street
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I want to meet
Oh, baby, you're so vicious
you're just so vicious
Vicious
hey, you hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
oh, baby you're so vicious
Vicious
hey, why don't you swallow razor blades
You must think that I'm some kind of gay blade
but baby, you're so vicious
When I see you coming
I just have to run
You're not good and you certainly aren't
very much fun
When I see you walking down the street
I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I'd even want to meet
'Cause you're so vicious
baby, you're so vicious
Vicious, vicious
vicious, vicious
Vicious, vicious
vicious, vicious
NO PLACE LIKE HOME
When I wake up in my house
I get dressed then I get lost
I don't know which way to go
I guess I'll have a cup of Joe
Where the hell was I anyways
So I end up on the street
Walkin' talkin' to my own beat
In a fog, in a haze
I've been trippin' out for days
Can you help me find my way home
1-2-3
Don't rock teh boat now, just let it slide
Groovy people walking back and forth, that's right
So I hop on to this bus
Destination reads please save us
Not a soul that I know
To be found in this dark hole
Can you help me find my way home
Can you help me find my way home
I'm so tired of looking for the door
Please help me find my way
Please help me find my way
I can't find the door
Where am I now, where am I now
I find myself just out there floating
I get dressed then I get lost
I don't know which way to go
I guess I'll have a cup of Joe
Where the hell was I anyways
So I end up on the street
Walkin' talkin' to my own beat
In a fog, in a haze
I've been trippin' out for days

I can't find the door
Where am I now, where am I now
I find myself just out there floating
DRIFTING
What a wonderful hesitation
Who would bear to feel sorry for me
Dropped another pill just to calm me
Collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
There I was drifting
Way out into the sunshine
Expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
Look at me I'm a tangled puppet
And I might be a mess but I sure can survive
Find myself awake counting sad days
1 2 3 that's too many for me
Dropped another pill just to find me
Reached for my hand but it was already there
Then I started believin'
That I fell out of a tiny raindrop
That lost its way when it decided to roam
Chasing me was a hungry dweller
But I had escaped it by pretending to die
Come follow me, you won't expect the illusion
You'll see, it's my imagination
Hand me your eyes
I will put them in front of mine
You'll see a little better
You'll see a little better
What a wonderful destination
Where I am now, I can no longer see
Dropped another pill just to kill me
Collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
There I was, and there I was, and there I was drifting
Way out into the sunshine
Expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
Look at me I'm a tangled puppet
I might be a mess but I sure can survive
But I had escaped it by pretending to die
Who would bear to feel sorry for me
Dropped another pill just to calm me
Collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT
I'm looking outside of my windows
The view that I see
Is a child and mama
And the child is begging for money
Tell me why, tell me why
The woman is blind is she so broke
The kid's dealing crime
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a beautiful city
But the world is it burning down
I go to my room to turn on the T.V
I sit myself down
And I start laughing hard
'Cause this man he's asking for money
He sats "if you send me lots of cash I'll send you
Stuff to make you rich fast"
It's such a wonderful country

But I'll have to give up
For this rich society
Oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future
'Cause you'll just get it back
From the little blind woman
With the kid on the corner
And the people all over, doin' crack

But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
And it's burning down
And it's called the U.S of A.
I'm walking outside on a sunny day
With no one around
And I wonder what's wrong
The I hear this loud piercing siren
Oh my God the bomb has just dropped
And everybody climbed right on top
Screaming, what a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
Yea yea yea yea yea yea
It's such a wonderful country
But the man he's burning it down
Yea yea yea yea yea yea

OLD MR. HEFFER
Stumbled my way on the darkest afternoon
I got a beer in my hand and I'm draggin' a stoogie too
The back of my brain is tickin' like a clock
Well, I simmer down gently but boil on, what the fuck
I get back 'cause I'm feelin' good tonight
I get back 'cause I'm feelin' right
Trouble is a word that starts with a capital T
And I refer myself to the word 'cause I'm so keen
Little do they know that I'm struttin' such a style
It makes the trouble in me all worth the while
I get back 'cause I'm feelin' good tonight
I get back 'cause I'm feelin' right
There goes Billy and Susie walkin' hand in hand
Well, I quickly caught up slurring, "Yo what's the plan?"
They had fear in their eyes and bellies that ran like dogs
I barreled down laughing screaming, "Susie, you forgot your clogs"
Well, old Mr. Heffer, I'm really pleased to meet you
I didn't mean to scare your blue eyed child
But Billy didn't talk to me and Susie wouldn't look at me
It made me so doggone crazy, I had to chase them for a mile
All I wanted was change for a buck
Well, I'm back and I'm feelin' good tonight
Well, I'm back and I'm feelin' right
Well, I'm back and I'm feelin' good tonight
Well, I'm back and I'm feelin' right, Jesus

SPACEMAN
Starry night bring me down
Till I realize the moon
It seems so distant yet I felt it pass right through
And I see what I see a new world is over me
So I'll reach up to the sky
And pretend that
I'm a spaceman
In another place and time
I guess I'm looking for a brand new place
Is there a better life for me?
Subtle wind blow me gone
Let me rest upon your move
I trust I'll end up sleeping cradled in my doom
And I feel what I feel
I can't grasp what is not real
So I'll get myself real high
And imagine
I remember in my mind
They say I'm daydreaming
Is it all that it seems
Or am I all the things I'm looking for? ?ooh!
And I see what I see a new world is over me

WHAT'S UP!
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was never this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar.
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say: HEY! yeah yeaaah, HEY yeah yea

And I guess you're really to blame, blame
Do you really love me
I hope you do
Like the stars above me
How I love you
When it's cold at night
Everything's alright
Does she really love me
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know because
When the sky is bright
Everything's alright
Gotta find my Daisy Jane
Well, the summer's gone
And I hope she's feelin' the same
Well, I left her just to roam the city
Thinkin' it would ease the pain
I'm a crazy man
And I'm playin' my crazy game, game
Does she really love me
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know because
When the sky is bright
Everything's alright
Flyin' me back to Memphis
Honey, keep the oven warm
All the clouds are clearin'
And I think we're over the storm
Well, I've been pickin' it up around me
Daisy, I think I'm sane
And I'm awful glad
And I guess you're really to blame, blame
Do you really love me
I hope you do
Like the stars above me
How I love you
When it's cold at night
Everything's alright
Does she really love me
I think she does
Like the stars above me
I know because
When the sky is bright
Everything's alright
SISTER GOLDEN HAIR
Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it
Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it
Doo wop doo wop ...

LONELY PEOPLE
This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And ride that highway in the sky
This is for all the single people
Thinking that love has left them dry
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
You never know until you try
Well, I'm on my way
Yes, I'm back to stay
Well, I'm on my way back home (Hit it)
This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
And never take you down or never give you up
You never know until you try
Thinking that life has passed them by
Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup

And never take you down or never give you up
You never know until you try
TIN MAN
Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves
Some are quick to take the bait
And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves
But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad.
So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles
Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles
No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please believe in me

MUSKRAT LOVE
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da ...

ONLY IN YOUR HEART
Mary, have you seen better days?
And will you find different ways?
And does he really mean that much to your heart?
Carry, all of the weight you can, find another man
And lead him directly there to the source
You've got to chart his course
'Cause it is only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to
Start it all again
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Wake up from an elusive dream
You've got to change the scene
It's getting so hard to see to the end
Break down, all of the walls you can
You need a helping hand
I'm sure there's someone there just for you
He's trying to make it, too
'Cause it is only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to
Start it all again
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to
Start it all again
(La, la, la, la)
You can't disregard your friends
But life gets so hard when you reach the end
Mary, have you seen better days?

DON'T CROSS THE RIVER
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
All your life
You were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
You'll lose yourself and then sometime
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ...

VENTURA HIGHWAY
Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe?
Some people say this town don't look
Good in snow
You don't care, I know
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger
Than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through
Your hair
And the days surround your daylight
There
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
Wishin' on a falling star
Watchin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by
Purple rain
Aw, come on Joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot son, just the same
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger
Than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through
Your hair

I NEED YOU
We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bow our heads then
Wonder why
But now you're gone
I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you left to me
Left to me, left to me
I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guees I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know, I need you
I need you
And every day
I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me
I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guees I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know, I need you
Guees I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
I need you, I need you
We used to cry
We used to bow our heads then
Wonder why
But now you're gone
I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you left to me
Left to me, left to me
I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guees I'll start it all again

You know, I need you

A HORSE WITH NO NAME
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

SAD LISA
She hangs her head and cries on my shirt.
She must be hurt very badly.
Tell me what's making you sadly?
Open your door - don't hide in the dark.
You're lost in the dark - you can trust me.
'Cause you know that's how it must be.
Lisa - Lisa, sad Lisa - Lisa.
Her eyes like windows trickle in rain
Upon the pain getting deeper.
Though my love wants to relieve her.
She walks alone from wall to wall.
Lost in her hall, she can't hear me.
Though I know she likes to be near me.
Lisa - Lisa, sad Lisa - Lisa.
She sits in a corner by the door.
There must be more I can tell her.
If she really wants me to help her.
I'll do what I can to show her the way.
And maybe one day I will free her.
Though I know no one can see her.

ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I haven't met 'em
That's how I'm in the state I'm in
Oh,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein' my deliv'rance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein
Ooh, la,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
It's hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town
Oh, no
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

Instead of bein' my deliv'rance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein
Ooh, la,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
It's hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town
Oh, no
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
I LOVE MY DOG
I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.
All he asks from me is the food to give him strength
All he ever needs is love and that he knows he'll get
So, I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.
All the pay I need comes shining through his eyes
I don't need no cold water to make me realize that
I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...
I love my dog as much as I love you
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, nana...
I love my dog, Baby, I love my dog. Na, na, na...
But you may fade, my dog will always come through.

(Remember The Days Of The) OLD SCHOOL YARD
We used to laugh a lot, oh don't you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had imaginings and we had
All kinds of things and we laughed
And needed love... yes, I do
Oh and I remember you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
We used to cry a lot, oh don't you
Remember the days of the old schoolyard
When we had simplicity and we had
Warm toast for tea and we laughed
And needed love.. yes, I do
Oh and I remember you
You were my sweet love (my first sweet love)
My lovey dove (my love lovey dove)
No matter what place (whichever the place)
I still see your face (your smiling face)
In childish dreams (inside my dreams)
Like King and Queen (God save our dreams)
N'though time may face (though time may fade)
It ain't never too late (to learn about love)
Learn about love

FATHER AND SON
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on
But take your time, think a lot
I think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
How can I try to explain
When I do he turns away again
And it's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down and take it slowly
You're still young that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy
All the times that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard, but it's harder
To ignore it
If they were right I'd agree
But it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way and I know
That i have to go away
I know I have to go
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found

To ignore it
If they were right I'd agree
But it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way and I know
That i have to go away
I know I have to go

MOONSHADOW
Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if.... I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if.... I won't have to cry no more.
And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if.... I won't have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if.... I won't have to talk...
Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?

MORNING HAS BROKEN
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

OH VERY YOUNG
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You´re only dancing on this earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddy´s best jeans
Denim Blue fading up to the sky
And though you want him to last forever
You know he never will (You know he never will )
And the patches make the goodbye harder still
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
There´ll never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will (You know you never will )
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
You´re only dancing on this earth for a short while
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
What will you leave us this time
You´re only dancing on this earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddy´s best jeans
Denim Blue fading up to the sky
And though you want him to last forever
You know he never will (You know he never will )
And the patches make the goodbye harder still
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
There´ll never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will (You know you never will )
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still
Oh very young

You´re only dancing on this earth for a short while
Oh very young

THE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST
I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taking almost all that I've got
But if you want, I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'Cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
When it comes to lovin' me she's worst
But when it comes to being loved she's first that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
Cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I'll try to love again
But baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know

TUESDAY' DEAD
If I make a mark in time, I can't say the mark is mine.
I'm only the underline of the word.
Yes, I'm like him, just like you, I can't tell you what to do.
Like everybody else I'm searching thru what I've heard.
Whoa, Where do you go? When you don't want no one to know?
Who told tomorrow Tuesday's dead
Oh preacher won't you paint my dream, won't you show me where you've been
Show me what I haven't seen to ease my mind.
Cause I will learn to understand, if I have a helping hand.
I wouldn't make another demand all my life.
What's my sex, what's my name, all in all it's all the same.
Everybody plays a different game, that is all.
Now, man may live, man may die searching for the question why.
But if he tries to rule the sky he must fall.
Now every second on the nose, the humdrum of the city grows.
Reaching out beyond the throes of our time.
We must try to shake it down. Do our best to break the ground.
Try to turn the world around one more time.
Yeah, we must try to shake it down do our best to break the ground
Try to turn the world around one more time
I'm only the underline of the word.
Yes, I'm like him, just like you, I can't tell you what to do.
Like everybody else I'm searching thru what I've heard.

WILD WORLD

Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world

WHERE DO THE CHILDREN PLAY ?
Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planes.
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train.
Switch on summer from a slot machine.
Yes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anything.
I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?
Well you roll on roads over fresh green grass.
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas.
And you make them long, and you make them tough.
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off.
Oh, I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?
Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air.
But will you keep on building higher
'til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?
I know we've come a long way,

C'EST BON QUE TU SOIS LÀ
Tous ces mots qui condamnent
Comme c'est dur quelquefois
Ces images et ces drames
Qu'on ne connaissait pas
Et qui peuplent nos rêves
En nous tombant dessus
Et tous ces maquillages
Ces regards éperdus
Ces amis de passage
Qu'on ne reverra plus
Comme les chansons s'effacent
Moi je voulais te dire
C'est bon que tu sois là
C'était comme une urgence
Dans ces affreux combats
C'est bon que tu sois là
C'est comme une évidence
Dans mes yeux qui se noient
Je remercie ma chance
En répétant tout bas
C'est bon que tu sois là
Mais qu'est-ce qu'on nous demande
Mais qu'est-ce qu'on veut de nous
Qu'on supplie, qu'on marchande
Qu'on se mette à genoux
Comme les chansons s'envolent
Moi je voulais te dire
C'est bon que tu sois là
C'est comme une délivrance
Dans ce monde qui se bat
C'est bon que tu sois là
Dans cette indifférence
Où c'est chacun pour soi
Je remercie ma chance
En répétant tout bas
C'est bon que tu sois là
Comme c'est dur quelquefois
Ces images et ces drames
Qu'on ne connaissait pas
Et qui peuplent nos rêves
En nous tombant dessus
Et tous ces maquillages
Ces regards éperdus
Ces amis de passage
Qu'on ne reverra plus
Comme les chansons s'effacent
Moi je voulais te dire
C'est bon que tu sois là
C'était comme une urgence
Dans ces affreux combats
C'est bon que tu sois là
C'est comme une évidence
Dans mes yeux qui se noient
Je remercie ma chance
En répétant tout bas
C'est bon que tu sois là
Mais qu'est-ce qu'on nous demande
Mais qu'est-ce qu'on veut de nous
Qu'on supplie, qu'on marchande
Qu'on se mette à genoux
Comme les chansons s'envolent
Moi je voulais te dire
C'est bon que tu sois là
C'est comme une délivrance
Dans ce monde qui se bat
C'est bon que tu sois là
Dans cette indifférence
Où c'est chacun pour soi
Je remercie ma chance
En répétant tout bas
C'est bon que tu sois là
URGENT D'ATTENDRE
Regarde-moi quand tu danses
C'est bien mieux que parler trop
Regarde-moi si tu penses
Que ça peut te tenir chaud
Devant les coups de semonce
De ce monde déchiré
J'ai besoin d'une réponse
Quelque chose à commencer
Mais c'est urgent d'attendre
Que tout change
Urgent d'attendre
Qu'on comprenne
Urgent d'attendre
Que l'amour vienne
Comme le sang coule dans nos veines
Dis-moi si tu comprends tout
Des orages aux désespoirs
Des éclairs qui nous secouent
Et des foudres du hasard
Devant tout ce qui s'annonce
Sur ces rythmes saccadés
J'ai besoin d'une réponse
Quelque chose à essayer
Mais c'est urgent d'attendre
Que tout change
Urgent d'attendre
Qu'on comprenne
Urgent d'attendre
Que l'amour vienne
Comme le sang coule dans nos veines
C'est bien mieux que parler trop
Regarde-moi si tu penses
Que ça peut te tenir chaud
Devant les coups de semonce
De ce monde déchiré
J'ai besoin d'une réponse
Quelque chose à commencer
Mais c'est urgent d'attendre
Que tout change
Urgent d'attendre
Qu'on comprenne
Urgent d'attendre
Que l'amour vienne
Comme le sang coule dans nos veines
Dis-moi si tu comprends tout
Des orages aux désespoirs
Des éclairs qui nous secouent
Et des foudres du hasard
Devant tout ce qui s'annonce
Sur ces rythmes saccadés
J'ai besoin d'une réponse
Quelque chose à essayer
Mais c'est urgent d'attendre
Que tout change
Urgent d'attendre
Qu'on comprenne
Urgent d'attendre
Que l'amour vienne
Comme le sang coule dans nos veines
LA CHANSON D'AZIMA
Quand le désert avance
C'est la vie qui s'en va
La faute à pas de chance
Ou dieu qui nous foudroie
Et le désert avance
Plus personne n'y croit
C'est notre déchéance
L'impossible combat
Quand le désert avance
Que veux-tu que l'on soit ?
Les femmes Touaregs dansent
Elles-mêmes n'y croient pas
Dans leurs souvenirs d'enfance
Les chasseurs étaient là
Mais le désert avance
Le sable devient roi
Et c'est notre souffrance
Qui coule entre nos doigts
Dans ces dunes immenses
Qui donc y survivra
Mais toi qui vient de France
Où l'on oublie qu'on boit
Dis-leur ce que tu penses
Dis-leur ce que tu vois
Dis-leur quelle est leur chance
Et qu'ils ne la voient pas
Et qu'on meurt d'impuissance
Mais qu'on garde la foi
Que le désert avance
Et l'eau n'arrive pas
Sans cette délivrance
Nous n'avons plus le choix
Dis-leur que la nuit tombe
Sur cette affreuse urgence
Et que c'est sur nos tombes
Que le désert avance
C'est la vie qui s'en va
La faute à pas de chance
Ou dieu qui nous foudroie
Et le désert avance
Plus personne n'y croit
C'est notre déchéance
L'impossible combat
Quand le désert avance
Que veux-tu que l'on soit ?
Les femmes Touaregs dansent
Elles-mêmes n'y croient pas
Dans leurs souvenirs d'enfance
Les chasseurs étaient là
Mais le désert avance
Le sable devient roi
Et c'est notre souffrance
Qui coule entre nos doigts
Dans ces dunes immenses
Qui donc y survivra
Mais toi qui vient de France
Où l'on oublie qu'on boit
Dis-leur ce que tu penses
Dis-leur ce que tu vois
Dis-leur quelle est leur chance
Et qu'ils ne la voient pas
Et qu'on meurt d'impuissance
Mais qu'on garde la foi
Que le désert avance
Et l'eau n'arrive pas
Sans cette délivrance
Nous n'avons plus le choix
Dis-leur que la nuit tombe
Sur cette affreuse urgence
Et que c'est sur nos tombes
Que le désert avance
ÉVIDEMMENT
Y'a comme un goût amer en nous
Comme un goût de poussière dans tout
Et la colère qui nous suit partout
Y'a des silences qui disent beaucoup
Plus que tous les mots qu'on avoue
Et toutes ces questions qui ne tiennent pas debout
Évidemment, évidemment
On danse encore
Sur les accords
Qu'on aimait tant
Évidemment, évidemment
On rit encore
Pour les bêtises
Comme des enfants
Mais pas comme avant
Et ces batailles dont on se fout
C'est comme une fatigue un dégoût
A quoi ça sert de courir partout
On garde cette blessure en nous
Comme une éclaboussure de boue
Qui ne change rien
Qui change tout
Évidemment, évidemment
On rit encore
Pour les bêtises
Comme des enfants
Mais pas comme avant
Pas comme avant...
Comme un goût de poussière dans tout
Et la colère qui nous suit partout
Y'a des silences qui disent beaucoup
Plus que tous les mots qu'on avoue
Et toutes ces questions qui ne tiennent pas debout
Évidemment, évidemment
On danse encore
Sur les accords
Qu'on aimait tant
Évidemment, évidemment
On rit encore
Pour les bêtises
Comme des enfants
Mais pas comme avant
Et ces batailles dont on se fout
C'est comme une fatigue un dégoût
A quoi ça sert de courir partout
On garde cette blessure en nous
Comme une éclaboussure de boue
Qui ne change rien
Qui change tout
Évidemment, évidemment
On rit encore
Pour les bêtises
Comme des enfants
Mais pas comme avant
Pas comme avant...
ELLA, ELLE L'A
C'est comme une gaiete
Comme un sourire
Quelque chose dans la voix
Qui parait nous dire "viens"
Qui nous fait sentir etrangement bien
C'est comme toute l'histoire
Du peuple noir
Qui se balance
Entre l'amour et l'desespoir
Quelque chose qui danse en toi
Si tu l'as, tu l'as
Ella, elle l'a
Ce je n'sais quoi
Que d'autres n'ont pas
Qui nous met dans un drole d'etat
Ella, elle l'a
Ella, elle l'a
Ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou
Elle a, ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou, cette drole de voix
Elle a, ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou, cette drole de joie
Ce don du ciel qui la rend belle
Ella, elle l'a
Ella, elle l'a
Elle a, ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou
Ella, elle l'a
Elle a, ou-ou ou-ou ou-ou ou
Elle a ce tout petit supplement d'ame'
Cet indefinissable charme
Cette petite flamme
Tape sur des tonneaux
Sur des pianos
Sur tout ce que dieu peut te mettre entre les mains
Montre ton rire ou ton chagrin
Mais que tu n'aies rien, que tu sois roi
Que tu cherches encore les pouvoirs qui dorment en toi
Tu vois ca ne s'achete pas
Quand tu l'as tu l'as
Ella, elle l'a
Ce je n'sais quoi
Que d'autres n'ont pas
Qui nous met dans un drole d'etat
Ella, elle l'a
Ella, elle l'a ...
Comme un sourire
Quelque chose dans la voix
Qui parait nous dire "viens"
Qui nous fait sentir etrangement bien
C'est comme toute l'histoire

Entre l'amour et l'desespoir
Quelque chose qui danse en toi

J'IRAI OÙ TU IRAS
Il y a des moments si beau
Qu'on voudrait y croireQuand on veut les saisir
Quand on sait les voir
Et puisqu'il faut vivre
Etre ensemble ou se suivre
C'est beaucoup plus fort
Je suis peut-être celle qui te fermera les yeux
Peut-être qu'on se croise pour un instant ou deux
Dans ce qui nous entoure
Y'a tellement d'élans d'amour
Qui se perdent
Là, Là
C'est un volcan qui gronde
Là, Là
C'ets un rêve qui s'en va
Là, Là
Un homme qui sort de l'ombre
Là, Là
Et se bat
Là, Là
On s'écroule sous le nombre
Là, Là
Mais les enfants sont rois
Là, Là
On est au bout du monde
Là, Là
Mais moi...
J'irai où tu iras
Quelquefois je suis l'eau
Quand tu voudrais le feu
Peut-être qu'on est seul
Même quand on est deux
Mais quand tout semble possible
Partager l'inaccessible
C'est beaucoup plus fort
Là, Là
C'est une passion qui sombre
Là, Là
On fait des feux de joie
Là, Là
On veut refaire le monde
Là, Là
On y croit
Là, Là
C'est la force qui tombe
Là, Là
Et fait régner sa loi
Là, Là
La colère et la fronde
Là, Là
Mais moi...
J'irai où tu iras
BABACAR
J'ai ton cœur qui tape qui cogne
J'ai des images qui s'entêtent
J'ai des ondes de chaleur
Et comme des cris de douleur
Qui circulent dans mes veines
Quand je marche dans ma ville
J'ai des moments qui défilent
De ton pays d'ailleurs
Où tu meurs
Babacar
Où es tu, où es tu ?
Babacar
Où es tu où es tu ?
Je vis avec ton regard
Depuis le jour de mon départ
Tu grandis dans ma mémoire
(Ha ha, ha ha)
Babacar
Où es tu, où es tu ?
Babacar
Où es tu, où es tu ?
J'ai des mots qui frappent qui sonnent
Et qui font mal comme personne
C'est comme la vie qui s'arrête
J'ai des mouv'ments de colère
Sur le troisième millénaire
Tout casser et tout refaire
J'ai pas manqué de courage
Mais c'était bien trop facile
Te laisser en héritage
Un exil
Babacar
Où es tu, où es tu ?
Babacar
Où es tu, où es tu ?
Ta princesse de hasard
Est passée comme une étoile
En emportant ton espoir
(Ha ha, ha ha)
Babacar,
Où es tu, où es tu ?
J'ai ton cœur qui tape qui cogne
Dans mon corps et dans ma tête
J'ai des mots qui frappent qui sonnent
C'est comme la vie qui s'arrête
Babacar
Où es tu, où es tu?
Babacar
Où es tu, où es tu?
Babacar
J'ai ton cœur qui tape qui cogne
J'ai des images qui s'entêtent
J'ai des mots qui frappent qui sonnent
Dans mon corps et dans ma tête
Babacar, où es-tu, où es-tu ?

PAPILLON DE NUIT
Comme une étoile amarante
Comme un papillon de nuit
C'est la lumière qui m'attire
La Flamme qui m'éblouit
Je sens mon corps qui chavire
La chaleur qui m'envahit
Et mon décir qui me brûle
Qui va consumer ma vie
Comme un papillon de ...
Comme un papillon de ...
Comme un papillon de nuit
Comme une étoile amarante
Comme un papillon de nuit
J'oublie le temps qui me reste
Attirée par l'infini
Je sens mon corps qui dérive
Ma raison qui s'engourdit
Et cette lumière qui me brûle
C'est elle dont j'ai envie
Comme un papillon de ...
Comme un papillon de ...
Comme un papillon de nuit
Où ça commence
Où ça finit
Où la vie me conduit
Quelle importance
J'ai le cœur immense
Et le monde est petit
Ce qui compte, c'est d'avoir envie
Comme une étoile amarante
Comme un papillon de nuit
Je vole au-dessus des ombres
Des fantômes 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
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

J'oublie le temps qui me reste
Attirée par l'infini

Ma raison qui s'engourdit
Et cette lumière qui me brûle
C'est elle dont j'ai envie

Où ça commence
Où ça finit
Où la vie me conduit
