Tropique 02:12
lyrics

Un soleil brûlant s’écrase sur la plage Je m’réveille en vrac Tous seuls, fiévreux, rescapés du naufrage … du naufrage Encore étourdis au milieu des ravages Nos crânes mis à sac Autour de nous les restes d’un carnage Des mégots, des paquets de clope vides, des canettes, une bouteille de jack Echoués là sur le sable pour parfaire le spectacle : nous voilà ! Triste état Nous voila Un soleil brûlant s’écrase sur la plage Que vienne le ressac Qu’on puisse enfin oublier ce passage Des mégots, des paquets de clope vides, des canettes, une bouteille de jack Echoués là sur le sable pour parfaire le spectacle : nous voilà ! Triste état Nous voila Nous voila Nous voila Nous voila

The Seaside 04:02

Come on little darling, Oh let’s get out and go for a while Cause the sun is shining out We gotta do just what we feel like While the sun is shining up above Come on Girl don’t take too long I think I’ve found the sunny side of love Let’s get out and go to the seaside We can’t stay here, wont settle down Let’s start anew, get out of bounds Let’s move away far from this mess around We can’t stay here, wont settle down We’ll move away, we’ll kick around We’ll find the way out of this battleground Ah come on little darling, Oh summer’s here, it’s all for us You and me and no one else Let’s get out and go to the seaside Let’s go to the seaside Let’s go to the seaside

Les Esprits 03:36

Une histoire commence dans ce monde immense La vie est bien plus dense tu retournes en enfance Ton regard m’interroge oh, Toujours en retard On s’en fout s’il se fait tard … s’il se fait tard Parcourir le monde en une seule seconde Ecouter le son de la ville, de la ville Refaire le monde le temps d’une seconde Entrer dans les esprits, s’endormir à Paris Courir se cacher, s’effleurer, se toucher Apprendre à marcher un jour se lâcher Distinguer les couleurs, connaître la douleur Revoir les lueurs, ne plus avoir peur Parcourir le monde en une seule seconde Ecouter le son de la ville, de la ville Refaire le monde le temps d’une seconde Entrer dans les esprits, s’endormir à Paris Parcourir le monde en une seule seconde Ecouter le son de la ville, de la ville Refaire le monde le temps d’une seconde Entrer dans les esprits, s’endormir à Paris

The End Of The Summer 03:20
lyrics

Forget about What you've been through It's hard to keep good a man down Make up your mind Oh what you wanna do? I think that you should know by now An' if you don’t know by now, I guess you'll never know An' if you don’t know by now, I guess you'll never know Make your decision The End of (the) summer's come Don’t know where to begin Oh get things done The End of (the) summer's come Tomorrow she might just ... oh she might just be gone Leaving you all alone She might be gone And You well know She's been true And now You just feel upside down Make up your mind What do you want her to? There's little you can do by now An' if you don’t know by now, I guess you'll never know An' if you don’t know by now, I guess you'll never know Make your decision The End of (the) summer's come Don’t know where to begin Oh get things done The End of (the) summer's come Tomorrow she might just ... oh she might just be gone Leaving you all alone She might be gone Live, dare, love, don’t fake it, Feel, don’t let it go, don’t waste it. Don’t be shy, just let it out Take the time it takes and work it out Live, dare, love, don’t fake it, Feel, don’t let it go, don’t waste it. Don’t be shy, just let it out Take the time it takes and work it out Live, dare, love, don’t fake it, Feel, don’t let it go, don’t waste it. Don’t be shy, just let it out Take the time it takes and work it out

It’s a sick sick sick game you’re playing As you’re dancing with fire, I burn away As your Whole life falls to cold decay It’s not Okay, it’s not Okay You’d better slow it all down now You’d better slow it down Got that sad sad smile on your face Nothing matters you … just can’t fake it Don’t stay down there… must be a doorway oh You’re not okay, you’re not okay

En attendant l'aurore Que brûle le soleil, son disque d'or, son disque d'or Du haut, les Alpes, les contreforts, les ravines, les chants de Maldoror, de Maldoror Quand dans la vallée le silence résonne Quand la nuit tombe, quand commence le décompte Toutes les ombres deviennent des personnes Quand la nuit tombe sur notre triste monde La nuit nous jette un sort Apaise nos esprits, guérit nos corps, guérit nos corps Dans la pénombre le réconfort La douceur d'un songe qui dure encore, qui dure encore Quand dans la vallée le silence résonne Quand la nuit tombe, quand commence le décompte Toutes les ombres deviennent des personnes Quand la nuit tombe sur notre triste monde

Locked Down 03:32
lyrics

Walking through the empty house I’m bored to death and I just can’t stand it Wandering but got no goal How much longer can I just make it Hours spent staring at the walls hoping for something to distract me Just don’t want anything at all Oh leave me alone: just forget it: just forget it just forget it Maybe it’s too late I hope you’ll wait for me. Maybe it’s too late I hope you’ll wait for me. My life’s locked-down, gotta hold on Not too sure If I’m Gonna make it If only you could finally call But I don’t care so just forget it:

La Dolce Vita 04:59
lyrics

Tous les soirs sans fins je trainais sur ma vespa dans mon gilet de satin c'était la dolce vita... je cherchais l'aventure jusqu'au petit matin je me prenais pour ben-hur en conduisant d'une main Mais je t'ai rencontré ! et puis tout a changé ! Le piège étais facile tu es tombée dans mes bras on se prom'nait en ville c'était la dolce vita... et cette façon que tu avais de te serrer contre le revers de mon smoking blanc cassé ne pouvais pas me blazer même dans l'obscurité je te revois encore Elsa... Elsa... je ne t'oublie pas... Elsa... Pourquoi es-tu partie ! je n'ai rien compris ! J'ai lontemps cherché la nuit à te remplacer et pour quelques heures parfois c'était la dolce vita... et cette façon que tu avais de te serrer contre le revers de mon smoking blanc cassé je n'l'ai jamais retrouvée mais le soleil décline sur ma memoire en ruine Tous les soirs sans fins je traine un vieux désarroi dans mon gilet de chagrin loin de la dolce vita... et cette façon que tu avais de te serrer contre le revers de mon smoking blanc cassé je voudrais l'oublier mais dans mes rêves glacés je te revois encore Elsa... Elsa... tu es toujours là !
