LYRICS

Je suis le président		
Le plus grand des grands pachas	
Venez bébés, mamans, papas
Je suis le président

Come on everybody to my palace tonight
We’re going to party like it’s going out of fashion
It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be wild
We’ve got a rock’n’roll star singing all the latest songs

La la la la lalalala
La la la la lalalala
La la la la lalalala
La lala, la lala

Tout tourne autour de moi	
Une envie, je claque des doigts
Je suis le président	
Je berce le monde dans mes bras

Come hang with the pres, give yourself a boost
The multitudes are cheering from the trees and the roofs
We’ve got parlour maids, infinity pools                     
So let’s lie right back and dream dream dream dream

La la la la lalalala
La la la la lalalala
La la la la lalalala
La lala, la lala

Ta maladie je guérirai !	
Ta faiblesse je casserai !
A genoux, suivez-moi !
Je suis le président !

Lord! Lord! Lord!

Lord won’t you give me a little time
For I have one more song to give
At nights in dreams angels arrive
With gifts of words that have never been sung
Promising no dry eye in the house
And rapturous applause forever breaking out

So Lord won’t you give me a little time
For I have one more song to give you
I have one more song to give you
I have one more song to give

And it’s so easy to get lost
It’s so easy to get lost
Even with the shutters opened up to let in the sky
And a compass handed down from up on high
You find on every path leading to the promised land
Some devil’s busy making work for idle hands

It’s so easy to get lost
It’s so easy to get lost
It’s so easy to get lost
It’s so easy to get lost

Mother save your wayward son
For it’s dark and he’s lost and he wants to be found
At the city gates
On the outskirts of your precious wilderness
Just don’t say that it’s too late
For every child born between now and kingdom come

Mother save your wayward son
As your tears fall like flames on stony ground
As your tears fall like flames on stony ground
As your tears fall like flames on stony ground

And it’s so easy to get lost
It’s so easy to get lost
Even without trouble coming round a-knocking at your door
No wild animals to fear tearing up your lawn
With your lover’s perfect body to keep you warm
And whispered words that echo deep below for evermore

It’s so easy to get lost
It’s so easy to get lost
It’s so easy to get lost
It’s so easy to get lost

It's So Easy To Get Lost

LYRICS

Some places just seem like home
When you’re there nothing is missed at all
It’s a feeling you get on arrival beneath the sun

Some places seem like home
In the fields and the towns as you travel around
Lost on an island and you know it’s good

Here we are in Formentera
Where life is rich and the people shine
And when I leave you her 
A little piece of my heart gets left behind

No Hendrix Dylan Marley or Nico
Just another boat owned by some new hero
And you and me on a beach where the sea is the sky
And the sky is the sea

I heard a bird of prey calling out my name
Flying high above in the late summer night
Free from the heat and dust so I called back

Here we are in Formentera
Where life is rich and the people shine
And when I leave her
A little piece of my heart gets left behind
In Formentera
Where life is rich and the people shine
And when I leave her
A little piece of my heart gets left behind
A little piece of my heart gets left behind
A little piece of my heart gets left behind

En Formentera del Cap de Barbaria
Al far de La Mola y Ses Illetes

You land a stranger on a distant shore
Seeking shelter for a weary soul
Dreams beat gold for evermore

We don’t need no car we like to travel slow
And kneel at shrines by the side of the road
While the baby ghosts dance by the light of the stars

Here we are in Formentera
Where life is rich and the people shine
And when I leave her
A little piece of my heart gets left behind
In Formentera
Where life is rich and the people shine
And when I leave her
A little piece of my heart gets left behind
A little piece of my heart gets left behind
A little piece of my heart gets left behind

In Formentera (le encanta)

LYRICS

You hold me down 
When I want you to pick me up
Treat me like a fool 
When inside I’m king of this world

You switch me off 
When I want you to turn me on
And I can’t remember 
The last time that love felt natural

You’ve got a troubled heart and a lonely soul
You’ve got a warehouse full of doubt that you can’t control

You feel left out
You want to fit right in
But behind the brightness in your eyes
Lie tears that can’t help but fall

It’s hard to find the power to spread your wings and fly
Over mountains and through storms into clear skies

So let me steal you away from all your worries and your grief
Steal you away and restore your self-belief

Everybody gets hurt
Everybody’s got a cross to bear
Everybody’s waiting for a perfect lover
To come along

I dream to make you smile, I hate to see your pain
And watch the dark descend upon you like a high-speed train

So let me steal you away from all your worries and your grief
Steal you away and restore your self-belief
Yeah let me steal you away from all the monsters and the creeps
Let me steal you away and I will bring some sweet release
Bring some sweet release
Bring some sweet release
Some ecstasy

Steal You Away
