¹En breton Port-Launay se dit Meilh-ar-Vern, mot-à-mot "Moulin des Aunes".

Alanis Morissette

You oughta know

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Beck

Paper Tiger (Album Sea change)

Paroles et musique: Beck Hansen

Just like a paper tiger
Torn apart by idle hands
Through the helter skelter morning
Fix yourself while you still can
No more ashes to ashes
No more cinders from the sky
All the laws of creation
Tell a dead man how to die

O deserts down below us
And storms up above
Like a stray dog gone defective
Like a paper tiger in the sun

Looking through a broken diamond
To make the past what it should be
Through the ruins and the weather
Capsized boats in the sea

O deserts down below us
And storms up above
Like a stray dog gone defective
Like a paper tiger in the sun

We're just holding on to nothing
To see how long nothing lasts

O deserts down below us
And storms up above
Like a stray dog gone defective
Like a paper tiger in the sun

There's one road to the morning
There's one road to the truth
There's one road back to civilization
But there's no road back to you

Jorge BEN JOR

Mas que nada

Paroles et musique: Jorge BEN JOR.

Oariá raiô
Obá Obá Obá

Oariá raiô
Obá Obá Obá

Mas que nada
Sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba está animado
O que eu quero é sambar

No way
Get out of my way
I want to move on
Because the samba is lively
All I want is to samba

Este samba
Que é misto de maracatu
É samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tu

This samba
That's a mix of maracatu
It's old black man's samba
Black man's samba you

Mas que nada
Um samba como esse tão legal
Você não vai querer
Que eu chegue no final

No way
A samba as groovy as this
You'll not want
That I get to the end

Soldat Morales

Auteur/Interprète: Didier BENUREAU, 1999.

Dans la campagne de France,
J'avais't un campagnon.
Que j'aimais.
Il était mon ami, mon frère,
Comme une soeur dans mon coeur.
Je l'aimais.
Mort dans la rizière, la gadou-ou-e
Déchiqueté-e
Pulvérisé-e
Sur cette mine tu as sauté, tête brûlée.

Moralès, Moralès,
Disparu't aux champs d'honneur pour sauver les trois couleurs.
Moralès, Moralès,
Toi qui voulais voyager, te voilà's éparpillé.
Je t'ai pleuré mon camarade
Versé des la-armes,
Loin des fe-emmes,
Et rien ne te remplaceront,
Ni la bière
Ni ma mère
Ni mon arme
Ni les dames
La femme est l'avenir des pommes
Comme dit Aragon, roi des cons.

Moralès, Moralès,
Disparu't aux champs d'honneur pour sauver les trois couleurs
Moralès, Moralès,
Toi qui as pris le pari de partir en confetti.

Et je te jure sur ta tombe,
Qu'un jour un monde,
Où la pureté triompheront!

Car l'ennemi règne ici bas,
Méchanceté-é-e
Brutalité-é-e
Et les dealers
Et les chômeurs, les communiss, psychanalyss,
Tous des pédés dégénérés! (subversif) - Autant pour moi -

Moralès, Moralès,
Disparu't aux champs d'honneur pour sauver les trois couleurs,
Moralès, Moralès,
Toi qui voulait batt' des r'cords,
A 20 ans déjà t'es mort.

Las Vegas

Auteur/Interprète: Mathieu BOOGAERTS.

Sur la route qui mène à Vegas,
Je nous y vois encore,
Elle et moi, on avait la classe,
Dans notre voiture de sport,

Main dans la main,
On se souris,
Parce que demain,
On va se dire « oui ».

C'est grave comme c'est bien,
Quand on s'marie,
Ça j'm'en souviens,
C'est ce qu'on s'était dit.

Dans le poste, y'avait un Jackson:
« just can't stop loving you »,
Elle et moi, on jouait du klaxon,
Qu'est-ce qu'on était dans le coup.

Elle roulait bien,
Notre Ferrari,
C'était pas rien, on
Était bien partis, ouais.

C'est grave comme c'est bien,
Quand on s'marie,
Ça j'm'en souviens,
Parce qu'on s'était dit « oui ».

Moi j'pensais qu'c'était pour la vie,
Marine,
C'était par pour le film,
Qu'on était à l'autre bout du globe,
Que j't'avais enfilé cette robe,
C'était pas pour faire snob,
C'était pas pour la frime,
Moi j'étais in love,
Moi j'étais in love,
Moi j'étais in love.

Bienvenue au Cesar Palace,
Au bord d'la piscine
Pour la fête, y'a pas meilleure place,
C'était dans l'magazine,

Des magiciens,
Des confettis,
Des musiciens,
Qui jouent du funky.

C'est grave comme c'est bien,
Quand on s'marie,
Ça j'm'en souviens,
C'est ce qu'on s'était dit.

Oui, moi j'pensais qu'c'était pour la vie,
Marine,
C'était par pour le film,
Qu'on était à l'autre bout du globe,
Que j't'avais enfilé cette robe,
C'était pas pour faire snob,
Moi j'pensais qu'c'était pour la vie,
Marine,
C'était pas pour la frime,
Qu'on avait 8h de jetlag,
Que j't'avais enfilé cette bague,
C'était pas pour la blague,
C'était pas pour le gag,
Moi j'étais in love...

Le Cerisier

Paroles: Etienne Roda-Gil.
Musique: Angelo BRANDUARDI d'après une ballade gaélique médiévale.
Interprète: Angelo BRANDUARDI. Album: La Demoiselle, 1979.

J'étais vieux et sans force pour la prendre avec moi,
Et tous les jardiniers, comprendront avec moi,
Qu'à la dernière fleur, on ne renonce pas.

J'étais vieux et sans force, je l'ai prise avec moi,
Et tous les jardiniers, comprendront avec moi,
Qu'on ne renonce pas quand l'hiver est déjà là.

Elle était la plus belle de la Terre et des bois,
Et entre les cerises, mont coeur battait cent fois,
À la dernière fleur, on ne résiste pas.

Mon cerisier fidèle se couvrit de rameaux,
Un jour ma toute belle me réclama ses fruits:
« Il me faut quelques cerises
Car l'enfant viendra bientôt. »

Je la voyais sourire, plus belle que jamais,
Et je sentais dans nos lèvres, que la rage montait,
Demande donc des cerises, au père de ton bébé.

Silencieuse et souriante, elle me tourna le dos,
Puis marcha vers les arbres, comme on se jette à l'eau,
C'était une dernière fleur, et l'hiver venait déjà.

C'est sa branche maîtresse, que l'arbre agenouilla,
Ainsi le père avec tendresse, la mère contenta,
Ainsi le père avec tendresse, la mère contenta,...

J'étais vieux et sans force pour la prendre avec moi
Et tous les jardiniers, comprendront avec moi
Qu'à la dernière fleur, on ne renonce pas.

Naissance d'un lac

Paroles: Etienne Roda-Gil. Musique, interprète: Angelo BRANDUARDI. Album: La Demoiselle, 1979.

Près de la fontaine, un beau jour il la trouva,
Voyant de loin le jour, De la robe que le vent faisait flotter.
« Ce que tu voudras, je te le donnerai sur la Terre
Grand est mon pouvoir: ce que je veux je peux le faire. »

« Tu ne pourras pas te jouer de moi, fou
Tu ne peux pas ressembler à mon attente.
Quand il viendra, viendra mon heure d'or
Je partirai d'ici et sans un mot. »
« Tu ne crains pas de n'être pas pour moi,
Mais tu es bien trop jeune, tu le sais,
Quand tu auras comme moi vécu mille automnes
alors seulement tu comprendras. »

« Tu ne crains pas de n'être pas pour moi,
Mais tu es bien trop jeune, tu le sais,
Quand tu auras comme moi vécu mille automnes
alors seulement tu comprendras. »

« Dis-moi ton désir, et je vais l'accomplir
Tu penses encore que tu ne seras jamais à moi.
Mais je ferai de toi un arbre aux fleurs exquises,
Que je garderai, même quand il fanera. »

« Tu ne pourras pas te jouer de moi, fou
Tu ne peux pas ressembler à mon attente.
Quand il viendra, viendra mon heure d'or
Je partirai d'ici et sans un mot. »
Et cette fois enfin il se facha,
Et en un très grand lac il la changea,
Et du haut d'une blanche tour d'ivoire
Pour le reste des temps il l'adora.

Et cette fois enfin il se facha,
Et en un très grand lac il la changea,
Et du haut d'une blanche tour d'ivoire
Pour le reste des temps il l'adora.

Vanessa DAOU

You

(Then without a sound
carrying the ghosts in front of them
a bright mountain in old photographs
Staring into the fire at the end fo the summer
You and your blond hair, grassy and silent.)

(I feel you touching me
I can feel you deep and silent.)

(Electric bells, bridges, liquid nights
The cities I saw lived
Hunting shadows under the moon
I listened and forever was a dark river
With all eyes silent in the black night.)

I hear you calling in the tick of my clock
It's you that I open when I pull my shades up
In the milk I am pouring in my cereal bowl
In the wet of my marble bath with my glycerin soap

It's you - Everywhere I put my head
Every time I lie in bed - It's you, it's you I can't forget

It's you that I swallow with every sip of my wine
It's you like the indigo of the twilight time
I hear your breathing in my deepest dreams
Warm as the velvet sheets wrapped around me

It's you - Every time I touch myself
Every secret that I tell - It's you, it's you and no one else

Everywhere I put my head
Every time I lie in bed - It's you, it's you I can't forget

It's you - Everywhere I put my head
Every time I sit through the air - It's you, it's you I can't forget

Chaka Khan

Ain't nobody

Captured effortlesly. That's the way it was.
It happens so naturely. I did not know it was love.
The next thing I felt was you. Holding me close
What was I gonna do. I let myself go.

And now we fly through the stars.
Want this night will last for ever.

I've been waiting for you. It's been so long.
I knew just what I would do when I heard your song.
I fill my heart with your kiss. It gave me freedom.
You knew I could not resist. I needed someone.

And now we're flying through the stars.
I hope this night lasts for ever.

Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (loves me better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (than you)

I wait for nighttime to come to bring you to me.
Can't believe I'm the one. I was so lonely.
I feel like noone can feel. I must be dreamin'.
I want this dream to be real. I'm in this feeling.

I make my whish upon a star
And hope this night will last for ever.

Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (loves me better)
Makes me happy this way
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody (nobody baby)
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (than you)

I wish you put your arms around me.
Yeah you put your arms around me.
I can't resist this sweet surrender.
Oh, my night's so warm and tender.
We stare into each others eyes.
And what we seek is no surprise.
I've got a feeling most would treasure.
And our love's so deep we cannot measure.

The Chordettes

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

Paroles et musique: Pat Ballard. Interprète original: The Chordettes.

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

Mr. Sandman, bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a come-hither gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr Sandman, someone to hold
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr Sandman, bring us a dream.

Without Me

M. Mathers / J. Bass

Obie Trice
Real name no gimmicks

Two trailer park girls go round the outside
Round the outside, round the outside
Two trailer park girls go round the outside
Round the outside, round the outside

Guess who's back, back again
Shady's back, tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back
Guess who's back. guess who's back
Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back

I created a monster, 'cos nobody wants to
See Marshall no more they want Shady
I'm chopped liver
Well if you want Shady, then this is what I'll give ya
A little bit of me mixed with some hard liquor
Some vodka that will jumpstart my heart quicker
Then a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
By the Doctor when I'm not cooperating
When I'm rocking the table while he's operating
Hey, you waited this long to stop debating
'Cos I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating
I know that you got a job Ms. Cheney
But your husband's heart problem is complicated
So the FCC won't let me be
Or let me be me so let me see
They tried to shut me down on MTV
But it feels so empty without me
So, come on and dip, bum on your lips
Jump back jiggle a hip and wiggle a bit
And get ready, 'cos this is about to get heavy
I just settled all my lawsuits, you Debbie

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cos we need a little controversy
'Cos it feels so empty without me
Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cos we need a little controversy
'Cos it feels so empty without me

Little hellions kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feeling like prisoners helpless
'Til someone comes along on a mission and yells "bitch"
A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution
Pollutin' the airwaves a rebel
So let me just revel and bask
In the fact that I got everyone kissing my ass
And it's a disaster such a catastrophe
For you to see so damn much of my ass you ask for me
Well I'm back fix your bent antennae
Tune it in and then I'm gonna enter into
The front of your skin like a splinter
The centre of attention back for the winter
I'm interesting, the best thing since wrestling
Infesting in your kids ears and nesting
Testing "Attention Please"
Feel the tension soon as someone mentions me
Here's my 10 cents my 2 cents is free
A nuisance, who sent, you sent for me

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cos we need a little controversy
'Cos it feels so empty without me
Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cos we need a little controversy
'Cos it feels so empty without me

A tisk-it a task-it,
I go tit for tat with anybody who's talking this and that
Chris Kirkpatrick, you can get your ass kicked
Worse than them little Limp Bizkit
And Moby, you can get stomped by Obie
You 36 year old bald headed Stan me
You don't know me, you're too old
Let it go it's over, nobody listens to techno
Now let's go, just give me a signal
I'll be there with a whole list full of new insults
I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil
Ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol
But sometimes man it just seems
Everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I'm disgusting
But it's just me I'm just obscene
Though I'm not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley
To do Black Music so selfishly
And use it to get myself wealthy
Hey, there's a concept that works
20 million other white rappers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
It will be so empty without me

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cos we need a little controversy
'Cos it feels so empty without me
Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody just follow me
'Cos we need a little controversy
'Cos it feels so empty without me

Gold

Plus près des étoiles

Paroles et musique: Gold

Ils ont quitté leurs terres
Leurs champs de fleurs
Et leurs livres sacrés
Traversés les rizières
Jusqu'au grand fleuve salé
Sans amour, sans un cri
Ils ont fermé leurs visages de miel
Les yeux mouillés de pluie
Les mains tendues vers le ciel

Un peu plus près des étoiles
Au jardin de lumière et d'argent
Pour oublier les rivages brûlants
Un peu plus près des étoiles
A l'abri des colères du vent
A peine un peu plus libres qu'avant

Au pied des murs de pierres
Ils ont brûlé leurs dragons de papier
Refermés leurs paupières
Sur les chenilles d'acier
Eux qui croyaient vieillir
En regardant grandir leurs enfants
A l'ombre du sourire
Des Bouddhas de marbre blanc

Un peu plus près des étoiles
Au jardin de lumière et d'argent
Pour oublier les rivages brûlants
Un peu plus près des étoiles
A l'abri des colères du vent
A peine un peu plus libres qu'avant

Ils parlent à demi-mots
A mi-chemin entre la vie et la mort
Et dans leurs yeux mi-clos
Du soleil, du soleil brille encore
Une île de lumière
Un cerf volant s'est posé sur la mer
Un vent de liberté
Trop loin, trop loin pour les emporter

Un peu plus près des étoiles
Au jardin de lumière et d'argent
Pour oublier les rivages brûlants
Un peu plus près des étoiles
A l'abri des colères du vent
A peine un peu plus libres qu'avant

Un peu plus près des étoiles
Au jardin de lumière et d'argent
Pour oublier les rivages brûlants
Un peu plus près des étoiles
A l'abri des colères du vent
A peine un peu plus libres qu'avant

The Power of Love

I'll protect you from the hooded claw

Keep the vampires from your door

Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay-bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away-yeah

I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

*The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying, death-defying
Love for you

Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' rushin' inside of me

*(Repeat)

This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine-divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure-the only treasure

I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove

Flame on burn desire
Love with tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal

I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

Genesis

Blood on the rooftops

Dark and grey, an english film, the wednesday play
We always watch the queen on christmas day
Wont you stay?

Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors youre still dry
The outlooks fine though wales might have some rain
Saved again.

Lets skip the news boy (Ill make some tea)
The arabs and the jews boy (too much for me)
They get me confused boy (puts me off to sleep)
And the thing I hate - oh lord!
Is staying up late, to watch some debate, on some nations fate.

Hypnotised by batman, tarzan, still surprised!
Youve won the west in time to be our guest
Name your prize!

Drop of wine, a glass of beer dear whats the time?
The grime on the tyne is mine all mine all mine
Five past nine.

Blood on the rooftops - venice in the spring
Streets of san francisco - a word from peking
The trouble was started - by a young errol flynn
Better in my day - oh lord!
For when we got bored, wed have a world war, happy but poor

So lets skip the news boy (Ill go make that tea)
Blood on the rooftops (too much for me)
When old mother goose stops - theyre out for 23
Then the rain at lords stopped play
Seems helen of troy has found a new face again.

It's alright

Its no use saying that its alright, its alright.
But where were you after midnight, midnight.
Heard a bang, bang, bang; down they go
Its just a job you do
Cos the harder they run, and the harder they fall.
Im coming down hard on you.

Now no-one saw what you looked like, what you looked like
Like a stranger you came out of the night, out of the night
Cos someone put the word on you, and I hope my aim is true.

Cos I got a name, and I got a number, I gotta line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, Im coming after you

Dont keep saying that its alright, its alright,
It seems you went just a little too far this time
Heard a bang bang bang, and down you go,
Its just a job I do,
Cos the harder you run the harder you fall,
Im coming down hard on you, hard on you - I hope my aim is true.

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, and Im coming after you

Keep running, keep running; city to city
Even if youre innocent,
You can cause too much embarrassment
And though your heart is breaking,
And you know theres no mistaking.
Cos you feel your life line breaking (keep running, keep running)
You can feel your hands are shaking (keep running, keep running)
And no-one answers the telephone
You can never never ever go home alone
And though your heart is aching
And you know theres no mistaking.
The footsteps close behind.

Now dont pretend that you sleep at night, but sleep tight
And cant you feel that the time is right, its alright.
Heard a bang bang bang, and down you go
Oh no-one really cares
Cos the harder you run, and the harder you fall.
Im coming down hard on you, hard on you - Im hoping that my aim is
True.

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, Im coming after you

I got a name, and I got a number, I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number, I got a job to do.

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golding living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius

As our hearts go beating through the night
We dance unto the dawn of day
To be the bearers of the water
Our light will lead the way
We are the spirit of the age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
Angelic illumination
Rising fiery constellation
Travelling our starry courses
Guided by the cosmic forces
Oh care for us

Postcard from a foreign strand

I hold your hand
and in your eyes I see first celebrations

a super 8
a birthday cake
a puppy dog lungs first inhalation

I hold your breath
and in your fainting eyes I see relief
my hand upon your body soft goes numb

Protection

Interprète: Massive Attack (Tracy Thorn).

This girl I know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don't want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
And you can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her

I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And I don't have no fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
You've got a baby of your own
When your baby's gone, she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a girl and i'm a boy (x4)

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
And I've leaned on me for years
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love, that's the way it should be
Now I can't change the way you feel
But I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel
I'll put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl (x4)

Mes souliers sont rouges

Quand plus rien ne va (turlutte)

Paroles: Y.Etienne. Musique: D.Lefrançois.

Quand plus rien ne va
Que tout ne va pas
Quand plus rien n'est droit
Que tout est de guingois
On peut essayer de souffler dans un joli roseau percé
Jouer un petit air de flûte
Ou bien faire une petite turlutte²
Turlutte avant d'aller au lit fait passer bonne nuit (x2)

Quand plus rien ne va
Que tout ne va pas
Quand plus rien n'est droit
Que tout est de guingois
On peut aller dans la forêt
Et avec des branches coupées
Se construire une jolie cahute
Jouer un petit air de flûte
Ou bien faire une petite turlutte
Turlutte avant d'aller au lit fait passer bonne nuit {x2}

Quand plus rien ne va
Que tout ne va pas
Quand plus rien n'est droit
Que tout est de guingois
On peut comme faisaient les trouvères
Sur quelques cordes jouer un air
En se grattant la peau du luth
Se construire une jolie cahute
Jouer un petit air de flûte
Ou bien faire une petite turlutte
Turlutte avant d'aller au lit fait passer bonne nuit (x2)

Quand plus rien ne va
Que tout ne va pas
Quand plus rien n'est droit
Que tout est de guingois
On peut même s'asseoir n'importe où
Sur des bouts de verre ou sur des clous
Pour déchirer le fond de son calbute
En se grattant la peau du luth
Se construire une jolie cahute
Jouer un petit air de flûte
Et pourquoi pas une turlutte
Turlutte avant d'aller au lit fait passer bonne nuit (x2)

²« Turlutte » signifie « chansonnette » en québecquois.

Est-ce la paix qui passe dans l'espace?

Est-ce possible? Est-ce déjà visible? Est-ce la paix qui passe Dans l'espace? Elle arrive. Elle a déjà touché nos rives. Écoutez nos prières plaintives. Attendez-moi. Je veux pas rater le grand rendez-vous. Je suis là, derrière, Accroché aux antennes d'une mouche. Des ondes aux ondes, On se racontera tout. Attendez-moi. Je veux pas rater le grand rendez-vous. Je suis là, derrière, Accroché aux antennes d'une mouche. Des ondes aux ondes, On se racontera tout. Est-ce possible? Est-ce déjà visible? Est-ce la paix qui passe Dans l'espace?

The Millionairess

Goodness Gracious Me

Interprètes: Peter SELLERS et Sophia LOREN.
BO du film The Millionairess (1960).

Her: Oh doctor, I'm in trouble.
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.
Her: For every time a certain man
Is standing next to me.
Him: Mmm?
Her: A flush comes to my face
And my pulse begins to race,
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom,
Him: Oh!
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.

Him: How often does this happen?
When did the trouble start?
You see, my stethoscope is bobbing
To the throbbing of your heart.
Her: What kind of man is he
To create this allergy?
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom,
Him: Oh!
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.

Him: From New Delhi to Darjeeling
I have done my share of healing,
And I've never yet been beaten or outboxed,
I remember that with one jab
Of my needle in the Punjab
How I cleared up beriberi
And the dreaded dysentery,
But your complaint has got me really foxed.
Her: Oh.

Her: Oh doctor, touch my fingers.
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.
Her: You may be very clever
But however, can't you see,
My heart beats much too much
At a certain tender touch,
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom,
Him: I like it!
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.

Him: Can I see your tongue?
Her: Aaah.
Him: Nothing the matter with it, put it away please.
Her: Maybe it's my back.
Him: Maybe it is.
Her: Shall I lie down?
Him: Yes.
Her: Ahhh...

Him: My initial diagnosis
Rules out measles and thrombosis,
Sleeping sickness and, as far as I can tell,
Influenza, inflammation,
Whooping cough and night starvation,
And you'll be so glad to hear
That both your eyeballs are so clear
That I can positively swear that you are well,
Ja-ja, ja-ja-ja-ja.

Her: Put two and two together,
Him: Four,
Her: If you have eyes to see,
The face that makes my pulses race
Is right in front of me.
Him: Oh, there is nothing I can do
For my heart is jumping too.
Both: Oh, we go boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom,
Her: Goodness gracious,
Him: How audacious!
Her: Goodness gracious,
Him: How flirtatious!
Her: Goodness gracious,
Him: It is me.
Her: It is you?
Him: Ah, I'm sorry, it is us.
Both: Ahhh!

How you remind me

Never made it as a wise man,
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing.
Tired of living like a blind man,
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling.
And this is how you remind me.
This is how you remind me of what I really am,
This is how you remind me of what I really am.

It's not like you to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken,
For handing you a heart worth breaking.
And I've been wrong,
I've been down,
To the bottom of every bottle,
These five words in my head,
Scream, are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no.

It's not like you didn't know that,
I said "I love you" and I swear I still do,
And it must have been so bad,
'cause living with me must have damn near killed you.
And this is how you remind me of what I really am,
This is how you remind me of what I really am.

It's not like you to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken,
For handing you a heart worth breaking.

And I've been wrong,
I've been down,
To the bottom of every bottle,
These five words in my head,
Scream, are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no,
yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no.

Never made it as a wise man,
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing,
And this is how you remind me...
This is how you remind me...
This is how you remind me of what I really am,
This is how you remind me of what I really am.

It's not like you to say sorry,
I was waiting on a different story,
This time I'm mistaken,
For handing you a heart worth breaking.

And I've been wrong,
I've been down,
To the bottom of every bottle,
These five words in my head,
Scream, are we having fun yet?

Yeah yeah, are we having fun yet...?

Reasons Why

Where am I today? I wish that I knew
'Cause looking around there's no sign of you
I don't remember one jump or one leap
Just quiet steps away from your lead

I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too
Feeling this sort of love that we once knew
I'm calling this home when it's not even close
Playing the role with nerves left exposed

Standing on a darkened stage
Stumbling through the lines
Others have excuses
I have my reasons why

We get distracted by the dreams of our own
But nobody's happy while feeling alone
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall

And climb high to the highest rung
To shake fists at the sky
While others have excuses
I have my reasons why
With so much deception it's hard not to wonder away
It's hard not to wonder away, it's hard not to wonder

Pourtant

Paroles: Franck Monnet. Musique: Matthieu Chedid.
Interprète: Vanessa Paradis. Album: Bliss.

Tu demandais hier
Mon avis sur le bonheur
L'air de rien voilà que tu t'inquiètes
La paix te ferait donc peur

Je l'attise cet amour
Les brindillent volètent
Tu n'y vois que du feu
C'est sa vie secrète
pourtant...pourtant...pourtant

Les mots sont, les mots font, le mots disent
Les mots coulent, les mots roulent sur un fil
Moi, je laisse ces microbes, ces missiles
Aux bavards, aux poètes si possible
Oh...comme je t'aime quand tu t'expliques
C'est drôle mais...

J'ai rangé les modes et les recettes
Incendié la boîte, mon coeur
De ce petit sacrifice me reste
Un vertige, une chaleur

Je l'attise cet amour
Les brindilles volètent
Tu n'y vois que tu feu
C'est sa vie secrète
Pourtant...pourtant...pourtant

Tu sais, tu me demandais hier
Ma vision du bonheur
Eh bien, chaque jour elle est plus nette
Il ne nous fera plus peur

Je l'attise cet amour
Les brindilles volètent
Tu n'y vois que du feu
C'est sa vision secrète
Pourtant...pourtant...pourtant

Phoenix

If I ever feel better

They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
It's like a bad day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me

A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life that I can't control

They say love ain't nothing but a sore
I don't even know what love is
Too many tears have had to fall
Don't you know I'm so tired of it all

I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets words won't tell
Whatever it is it can't be named
There's a part of my world that's fading away

You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know that a breeze can blow me away

Now I know there's much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

Hang on to the good days
I can lean on my friends
They help me going through hard times

But I'm feeding the enemy
I'm in league with the foe
Blame me for what's happening
I can't try, I can't try, I can't try...

No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost

Now I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait...

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

It's like somebody took my place
I ain't even playing my own game
The rules have changed well I didn't know
There are things in my life I can't control

I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There's a part of my life that will go away

Dark is the night, cold is the ground
In the circular solitude of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I'll come through I don't know how

They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

De (Dm) Alto Cedro voy (F) para Marcane
(C or Gm) Luego a Cueto voy (A7) para Mayari.

El cariiao a,ue te tengo
Yo no lo puedo negar
Se me sale la babita
Yo no lo puedo evitar.

Cuando Juanica y Chan Chan
En el mar cernian arena
Como sacudia el 'jibe'
A Chan Chan le daba pena.

Limpia el camino de pajas
Que yo me quiero sentar
En aquel tronco que veo
Y asi no puedo llegar.

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcane
Luego a Cueto voy para Mayari.

Dans Les Embouteillages

On est un peu jaloux qu'ils arrivent avant nous
Mais on les laissent passer, dans les embouteillages
Quand les motards te font merci avec les pieds, merci avec les pieds
Ce ne sont pas des êtres humains
Mais une espèce de martien-terrien
Ils ne connaissent pas la langue des mains
Il faut les voir foncer
Libres comme l'air
Heureux comme des goélands
Ils ont l'air épanoui
Un casque sur la tête et à leurs mains des gants
Ils foncent tous seul en moto
Mais la seule chose qu'ils ne pourront pas c'est dormir en roulant sinon le drap s'envolera
Tu comprends

Dans les embouteillages
Tu penses autant au temps qu'au temps
Où tu n'auras plus d'ongles et où tu te mangeras les dents
Les Harley à crédit
Les Japonaises débridées
Passent entres les camions citernes et les 4L de pompiers

Les filles sont en voiture
Contrairement aux motards qui eux sont en moto
Bien qu'il y est des filles en moto
Mais sous leurs cuirs
On ne les voient pas bien
On ne voit pas leurs seins
Surtout que sous un casque
On peut pas deviner
Si c'est un vieux hippy, un vieux skinhead ou une pure beauté
Si par hasard, dans un embouteillage
Tu croises la femme de ta vie
Mais assis à côté d'elle
Il y a déjà un petit mari barbu et gentil
Remballe ton sourire de beau
Tourne la tête pour ne pas avoir l'air idiot
Et fait semblant de réparer ta radio
De redresser ton rétro
Remballe ton sourire de beau
Tourne la tête pour ne pas avoir l'air idiot
Et fait semblant de réparer ta radio
De redresser ton rétro

Dans les embouteillages
Tu penses autant au temps qu'au temps
Où tu n'auras plus d'ongles et où tu te mangeras les dents
Les Harley à crédit
Les Japonaises débridées
Passent entres les camions citernes et les 4L
Dans les embouteillages
Tu penses autant au temps qu'au temps
Où tu n'auras plus d'ongles et où tu te mangeras les dents
Les Harley à crédit
Les Japonaises débridées
Passent entres les camions citernes et les 4L de pompiers

Virgule
Quand les filles se maquillent dans les rétroviseurs
Moi j'ai même pas peur
Qu'elles oublient de freiner
Les routiers
Du haut de leurs cabines
Les traite de femmes au volant
Mais en secret
Il aimeraient bien les emmener
Amoureux des sirènes
Les ambulanciers sont les marins des départementales
Salauds de séducteurs
Ils ont une infirmière dans chaque hôpital
Ils collectionnent les filles
Multiplient les aventures
Et leur spécialité c'est l'amour en voiture
Sais-tu qu'il y a des infirmiers qui soignent les blessés
En leurs mettant des disques et des cassettes
La musique en thérapie
Au service de la fracture ouverte
Pour un lumbago
Nougaro ou alors Django
Une jambe cassée
AC/DC et c'est soigné

Dans les embouteillages
Tu penses autant au temps qu'au temps
Où tu n'auras plus d'ongles et où tu te mangeras les dents
Les Harley à crédit
Les Japonaises débridées
Passent entres les camions citernes et les 4L
Dans les embouteillages
Tu penses autant au temps qu'au temps
Où tu n'auras plus d'ongles et où tu te mangeras les dents

SIMON and GARFUNKEL

April Come She Will

Paroles et musique: Paul SIMON.
Interprètes: Paul SIMON et Arthur GARFUNKEL.
Album: Sounds of Silence, 1965.

April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;
May she will stay,
Resting in my arms again.

June she'll change her tune,
In restless walks she'll prowl the night;
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.

August, die she must,
The automn winds blow chilly and cold;
September, I'll remember,
A new love once new has now grown old.

Scarbrorough Fair / Canticle

Paroles et musique: Paul SIMON.
Interprètes: Paul SIMON et Arthur GARFUNKEL.
Album: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, 1966.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Without no seams nor needle work,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.
Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown.
Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.

Tell her to find me an acre of land:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves.
Washes the grave with silvery tears.
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
General order their soldiers to kill.
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten.

Star Wars Cantina

The Star Wars Cantina

Mark Jonathan Davis.

"Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" (spoken by Princess Leia)

Her name was Leia
She was a princess
With a danish on each ear
And Darth Vader drawing near
So R2-D2
Found Ben Kenobi
He'd have to put the Death Star plans
Into the rebellion's hands
So Luke and Obi-Wan
Had to get to Alderaan
So they stopped into Mos Eisley to have a drink with Han

(CHORUS)
at the Star Wars, Star Wars Cantina
The weirdest creatures you've ever seen-a
Here at the Star Wars, Star Wars Cantina
Music and blasters
And old Jedi masters
At the Star Wars....

His name was Solo
He was a pilot
With a blaster at his side
And a smile 12 parsecs wide
There with Chewbacca
He was a wookie
They met with Luke and Obi-Wan
About the Millenium Falcon
Docking bay ninety-four
Stormtroopers at the door
With a flash of Ben's light-saber, now there's an arm on the floor

(REPEAT CHORUS)

"Mos Eisley spaceport...you will never find the more wretched hive
of scum and villainy. We must be cautious." (spoken by Ben Kenobi)

His name was Yoda
He was a muppet
Darth Vader was so bad
And by the way, he's Luke's dad
Luke kissed his sister
His hand got cut-off
In that galaxy far, far away
Luke has had a lousy day
Boba Fett was so mean
Jabba had bad hygiene
Why didn't they all just relax back on Tatooine

(REPEAT CHORUS)

"The force will be with you...always." (spoken by Ben)

The Supermen lovers

Starlight

I been hanging down the east side
A place for everyone
But then I haven't seen you for long time
From my home town
You...I see... will see... my dream... your dream... for it... come true
You... I will... will eyes... your eyes... above... above... the room
Thought of you and took up here
Not gonna mess around
Mum and Dad would be so proud
You never let me down
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?

It's good for me to be someone
A huge man, a superstar
But now you need to be the one
Far from my own ground
You...I see... will see... my dream... your dream... for it... come true
You... I will... will eyes... your eyes... above... above... the room

Thought of you and took up here... Now release your mind
Not gonna mess around...You are what you want
Mum and Dad would be so proud... Time is taking lies
You never let me down.. You are what you mean

Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?

Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?
Starlight, can you hear me my friend?
Can you tell me what's the name of the starlight?

Starlight is watching me

Vangelis

China

I take a bottle of wine and I go drink it among the flowers.
We are allways three ... counting my shadow and my friend the shimmering moon.
Happily the moon knows nothing of drinking, and my shadow is never thirsty.
When I sing, the moon listens to me in silence.
When I dance, my shadow dances too.
After all festivities the guests must depart.
This sadness I do not know.
When I go home, the moon goes with me and my shadow follows me.

Sylvain VANOT

Il fait soleil

Editions Delabel.

De la chanson à la prière
Il y a loin et cependant
A chaque matin de lumière
Je retrouve une âme d'enfant
Qui se recueille et s'émerveille
Je suis heureux, il fait soleil
Et pourtant?

Dans ce journal que l'on m'apporte
Je pourrai lire noir sur blanc
Les faits-divers, en lettres mortes
Tout ce flot de pleurs et de sang
Roule comme il roulait la veille
Je suis heureux, il fait soleil
Et pourtant?

Je suis libre, je bois, je mange
En prison, pleure un innocent
Sur la rive asséchée du Gange
Un enfant s'endort doucement
Sous l'oeil sec du vautour qui veille
Je suis heureux, il fait soleil
Et pourtant?

Notre seul pays c'est le monde
On y oublie, de temps en temps
Qu'ici et là, le canon gronde
Mais qui veut l'écouter, l'entend
Il suffit de prêter l'oreille
Je suis heureux, il fait soleil
Et pourtant?

Que pour l'abîme, il appareille
Ce temps de misère et de mort
Où nos joies, de honte se payent
Et que je chante sans remords
Simplement, comme fait l'abeille
Pour tout le monde
Il fait soleil...
Soleil?

Suzanne VEGA

Night vision

D'après Juan Gris de Paul Eluard, musique de Francis Poulenc

By day give thanks
By night beware
Half the world in sweetness
The other in fear
When the darkness takes you

With her hand across your face
Don't give in too quickly
Find the thing she's erased
Find the line, find the shape
Through the grain

Find the outline, things will
Tell you their name
The table. the guitar
The empty glass
All will blend together when
Daylight has passed

Find the line, find the shape
Through the grain
Find the outline, things will
Tell you their name

Now I watch you falling into sleep
Watch your fist curl against the sheet
Watch your lips fall open and your eyes dim
In blind faith
I would shelter you
Keep you in light
But I can only teach you
Night vision
Night vision
Night vision

Gabriel YACOUB

Comprenez-vous?

(reproches de la Tulipe à Madame de Pompadour) traduit et adapté par Gabriel Yacoub

Si vous vous contentiez madame de rendre le roi fou de vous
L'amour étant l'affaire des femmes nous n'en aurions aucun courroux
Comprenez-vous ?

Mais depuis quelque temps marquise vous voulez gouverner en tout
Laissez-moi dire avec franchise que ce n'est pas de notre goût
Comprenez-vous ?

Que vous nommiez des éminences et des abbés tout votre saoul
Que vous régentiez les finances après tout le soldat s'en fout
Comprenez-vous ?

Mais quanD vous nommez la guerre certain général archi fou
Il est normal que l' militaire vienne un peu vous chercher des poux
Comprenez-vous ?

Parce qu'Un beau soir à versailles vous avez joué les touche à tout
Nous avons perdu la bataille et moi je n'ai plus qu'un genou
Comprenez-vous ?

Je ne suis pas méchant marquise mais vous savez j'aimais beaucoup
Tous ces amis qui sous la bise ce soir ne craignent plus le loup
Comprenez-vous ?

Je l'aimais bien mon capitaine il est tombé percé de coups
C'était un bon gars de touraine il ne rira plus avec nous
Comprenez-vous ?

Tous ces amis chère marquise seraient aujourd'hui parmi nous
Si vous n'aviez nommé soubise cet incapable ce filou
Comprenez-vous ?

Car ce nest pas un jeu la guerre madame il s'en faut de beaucoup
On peut y perdre comme mon frère ses entrailles sur les cailloux
Comprenez-vous ?

Mais je ne fais pas de manières et si je pleure devant vous
C'est que mon père est dans la terre et que ma soeur n'a plus d'époux
Comprenez-vous ?

Du sang de mes chers camarades un ruisseau rougit tout à coup
Aucun poisson ne fut malade car les poissons avalent tout
Comprenez-vous ?

Mais quand nous n'aurons plus de larmes quand nous serons à bout de tout
Nous saurons bien à qui madame il nous faudra tordre le cou
Comprenez-vous ?

Le Grand Vent

avec Laïs

Sur la mer il y a un pré
Et le grand vent y vente
Sur la mer il y a un pré
Et le grand vent y vente

Trois demoiselles y vont danser
Elles ont mangé mon coeur
Elles m'ont mis la tête à l'envers
Et m'ont montré toutes les couleurs
Du grand vent qui vente

Sur la mer il y a un pré
Et le grand vent y vente
Sur la mer il y a un pré
Et le grand vent y vente

La première est vêtue de blanc
J'aurai son coeur
je ne veux qu'elle et si je mens
C'est qu'elle a mêlé les couleurs
Dans le grand vent qui vente

Je danse l'eau et les serments
La nuit entre mes mains
Les promesses des amants
Les regrets du matin
Dans le grand vent qui vente

S'il veut les trois il n'aura rien
Que le grand vent qui vente

Sur la mer il y a un pré
Et le grand vent y vente
Sur la mer il y a un pré
Et le grand vent y vente

La deuxième est vêtue de bleu
J'aurai son coeur
Avec les autres si je peux
Je mêlerai les couleurs
Dans le grand vent qui vente

Je danse la joie et le doute
Les perles de rosée
Pour les arbres sur les routes
Les amitiés
Dans le grand vent qui vente

S'il veut les trois il n'aura rien
Que le grand vent qui vente

Sur la mer il y a un pré
Et le grand vent y vente
Sur la mer il y a un pré
Et le grand vent y vente

La troisième est vêtue de noir
J'aurai son coeur
Je n'aurai besoin d'aller voir
Aucune autre couleur
Dans le grand vent qui vente

Je dansais la cendre et le feu
Les lendemains
Mon amant est devenu trop vieux
Et il s'éteint
Dans le grand vent qui vente

S'il veut les trois il n'aura rien
Que le grand vent qui vente

Sur la mer il y a un pré
Et le grand vent y vente
Sur la mer il y a un pré
Et le grand vent y vente

Trois demoiselles sont parties
Elles ont mangé mon coeur
Et n'ont laissé que leurs habits
Mais ils ont perdu leurs couleurs
Dans le grand vent qui vente

Sur la mer il y a un pré
Sur la mer il y a un pré
Sur la mer il y a un pré

Making plans for Nigel

Interprète: Nouvelle Vague.

We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs this helping hand
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work

We're only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a British steel
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work

Nigel is not outspoken
But he likes to speak
And loves to be spoken to
Nigel is happy in his work
We're only making plans for Nigel

Destiny

Interprète: Zero 7 (H. Binns, S. Hardaker, S. Barker).
Voix: Sophie Barker.
Album: Simple Things.

I lie awake
I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you
But I still believe there's
Only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite.

The journey's long and it feels
So bad, I'm thinking back
To the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you.
I'm nearly with you, I'm nearly with you

And when I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny.

On a clear day, I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you, I'm nearly with you

And when I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny.
And when I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny.

I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home

In the Waiting Line

Interprète: Zero 7 (H. Binns, S. Hardaker, S. Barker).
Voix: Sophie Barker.
Album: Simple Things.

waiting line
tell your time
ticking clock
error wants to stop

everyone's saying different things to me
different things to me
everyone's saying different things to me
different things to me

woooo...
do you believe
what you see
there doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

do you believe
what you see
motionless sweet
nothing is real
wasting my time
in the waiting line
do you believe in
what you see

nine to five
leaving light
every day
stealing time
everyone's taking everything they can
everything they can
everyone's taking everything they can
everything they can

woooo...
do you believe
what you feel
it doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

do you believe
what you see
motionless sweet
nothing is real
wasting my time
in the waiting line
do you believe
in what you see

ah....
and i'll show your screen
ah....
it'll rather not be seen
and i'll hide away from another day

do you believe
what you see
motionless sweet
nothing is real
wasting my time
in the waiting line
do you believe
in what you see

everyone's saying different things to me
different things to me (x4)
everyone's taking everything they can
everything they can

Home

Interprète: Zero 7 (H. Binns, S. Hardaker, S. Barker).
Voix: Sophie Barker.
Album: When It Falls, 2003.

Lost in cheap delirium
Searching the neon lights
I move carefully
Sink in the city aquarium
Sing in the key of night
As they're watching me

Take me somewhere we can be alone
Make me somewhere I can call a home
'Cause lately I've been losing on my own

Wrapped in silent elegance
Beautifully broken down
As illusions burst
Too late to learn from experience

Too late to wonder how
To finish first

Take me somewhere we can be alone
Make me somewhere I can call a home
'Cause lately I've been losing on my own

Take me somewhere we can be alone
Make me somewhere I can call a home
Won't you take me home
Won't you take me home
'Cause lately I've been losing on my own
Won't you take me home
