Fragments of a dream

Forgotten: 
Well it seems we've been forgotten
In this distant place
Floating on a dead drift
Nowhere to keep us safe
Somebody's got to call the captain
Tell him we're in trouble and we need to call home
and we can tell them where the soul lives
but only for a price
Sometimes tucked behind the shadows 
Hiding from the light
But if we pierce it with the purest sound
We can share the stories on the way down

The wind was barely blowing, but I couldn't hear the voice
Like silent film with color at the fringe
We were so close to touching bottom 
They waved with crooked smiles
They threw the rope too short to pull us in

Forgotten

Lyrics:
Vibin' with you
Baby put your love down
Love down
Throw the dice 
Bacardi on ice
Cause we took it down town
Vibin' with you
Pull up with that pain of yours
Thought that I struck a vein of yours 
Yeah
I don't know
What it takes
To prove it to you
Too many times in love
Too many times in love
I don't know
What it takes
To show it to you
Too many nights on the run
Too many nights on the run

Once upon a time a little man
alone  and with no age
by dint of living at minimum.
He sold tobacco and chewing gums
always behind his counter , transparent, almost no one.
Then , when night comes, 
 in the land of chimeras
he re-writes his own story
then , in the softness of his sheets , he leaves real life away 
for the most beautiful Happy end

Once upon a time a beautiful lady 
who crossed her life with a certain melancholy
she had achieved her woman life 
but when children leave, sometimes, tears only remain 
Then , when night comes, 
 in the land of chimeras
she re-writes her own story
then , in the softness of her sheets , she leaves real life away 
for the most beautiful Happy end

This is eventually the very banal story 
of all those people living on their own
to whom we don't even give a look 

Then , when night comes, 
they want to believe that life is beautiful
that they can change the end of the story
eyes wide open , in the dark, they leave real life away 
for the most beautiful Happy end

Happy End

A PEINE SUIS-JE NÉ QUE ME VOILÀ TRÉPANÉ
ET MES PLEURS FONT LE BONHEUR 
DE CEUX QUI SONT CENSÉS M’AIMER
YEAH YEAH
MÉMÉ PÉPÉ PAPA MAMAN
J’ATTENDS

ET PUIS ON ME CRAPAHUTE
ON ME TRANSBAHUTE
JE CHERCHE EN VAIN LE CHEMIN 
QUI ME RAMÈNE À MA HUTTE
YEAH YEAH 
ALORS JE PASSE LA PREMIÈRE
CAR J’AI DE LA ROUTE À FAIRE
JE DÉRACINE MES TERRES
ADIEU PÈRE ET MÈRE
YEAH YEAH

OH UFO CIA FBI DNA
SOUDAIN J’AI VU MES REGRETS DE HAUT

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SHUT UP !

LE CIEL PLEURE LA TERRE PENCHE
JANE A LA MÉMOIRE QUI FLANCHE
LA VEUVE LOUCHE SUR LA MANCHE
DANS SA ROBE BLANCHE
LE CIEL EST BAS LA MER EST D’ENCRE 
MOI ÇA Y EST J’AI LEVÉ L’ANCRE 
ET JE M’ACCROCHE À LA HOULE
COMME LA ROCHE À LA MOULE

ADIEU VEAUX VACHES COCHONS
ADIEU ADIEU
LES BATAILLES DE POLOCHON
LES COUPS DE FEU
ADIEU ADIEU
ACCROCHE TOI ! ACCROCHE-TOI À MOI

SEUL ON COULE DANS LES EAUX OU DANS LA FOULE
UN C’EST BIEN DEUX C’EST MIEUX

SOUDAIN TERRE
EST-CE UNE ÎLE SOLITAIRE PEUPLÉE D’ÊTRES IMAGINAIRES ?
OU UNE VILLE IMAGINAIRE PEUPLÉE D’ÊTRE SOLITAIRES ?
MYSTÈRE

HEY HO QU’AI-JE FAIT DE BEAU
QU’AI-JE DE FAUX ET SUIS-JE UN ANGE OU UN SALAUD
HEY HO JE L’AI DANS LA PEAU LA BALLE LE COUTEAU 
ET L’ENFANT JE L’AI DANS LE DOS
HEY HO OHÉ DU BATEAU
MAINTENANT C’EST TROP C’EST TROP BEAU ET C’EST PAS TROP TÔT
HEY HO JE TIRE MON CHAPEAU
ET JE TOMBE À L’EAU ALLO ALLO ALLO
HEY HO HEY HO


A PEINE SUIS-JE MORT
QUE ME REVOILÀ DEHORS
JETÉ SUR LE MACADAM ET PARMI LES MÉTÉORES
J’AVAIS DÉJÀ VENDU MON ÂME 
ME VOILÀ MAINTENANT SANS CORPS
OUI MAIS IL ME RESTE LA FLAMME
ET J’EN REDEMANDE ENCORE
ENCORE
