C’est la faute au cerveau

On n’est jamais content
De son physique
On est trop p’tit, on est trop grand
C’est pas pratique
On est trop mince, on est trop gros
Ou trop chétif, ou ramollo
C’est la faute (ter)
aux kilos

On n’est jamais content
De son physique
On est trop noir, on est trop blanc
C’est pathétique
On manque de grâce, de biscotos
On est tordu comme un ragot
C’est la faute (ter)
aux photos

Refrain :
Mais rien n’est un défaut
Qu’on se trouve moche ou beau 
Quel que soit le tableau
C’est la faute (ter)
au cerveau

Il y a toujours bien mieux
Que son physique
On est trop jeune, on est trop vieux
Chronillogique
Les cheveux tombent incognito
La calvitie, ça fait vieillot
Viv’ la boule (ter) 
à zéro
(refrain)

Quand on se sent trop vieille
Monogamique
Que la peau s’emplit de dentelles
Trop archaïques
Pour ne plus voir ces rides en trop
Et fair’ de l’œil aux hidalgos
Bistouri (ter)
À gogo
(refrain)

Lionel Abbou did me the honor of setting my text to music and singing it.

It's the brain's fault

You're never happy
With the way you look
You're too small, you're too big
It's not practical
You're too thin, you're too fat
Or too sickly or too soft
It's the fault (ter)
the kilos

You're never happy
With the way you look
You're too black, you're too white
It's pathetic
We lack grace, biscotos
We're as twisted as gossip
It's the fault (ter)
to the pictures

Refrain :
But nothing is a flaw
Whether you think you're ugly or beautiful 
Whatever the picture
It's the fault (ter)
the brain

There's always something better
Than your looks
You're too young, you're too old
Chronillogic
Hair falls out incognito
Baldness is old-fashioned
Viv' la boule (ter) 
to zero
(refrain)

When you feel too old
Monogamous
When the skin fills with lace
Too archaic
To stop seeing those extra wrinkles
And wink at the hidalgos
Bistouri (ter)
In spades
(refrain)

La faute au cerveau (Myckaël Marcovic / Lionel Abbou) feat. Lionel Abbou

After I wrote the song "Leone" a friend suggested that the song told too much of the story.  Since he's a proper successful musician who knows a lot I took his advice to heart.  I changed the lyrics so that they told less of the story.  I suppose he was right about the song, but I never felt completely satisfied with the results.  lI suppose I've felt that the new version, the one that's been on this site for a long time, was somehow less honest.  So I've restored the original lyrics, remixed, remastered the song and given it a new name.
Feb 2, 2025.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
She shared her name with her car
Funny what memories do
Except for the end of her tale
Her name and her car were all that I knew

Verse 2:
I really didn’t know her at all
But even now I remember her name
The thing thing that made her easy to recall
Her name and her car’s were exactly the same

Chorus 1:
Leone was a friend of my first wife
After we split I didn’t see her any more
A Subaru Leone - that's the car that she drove
They stopped making those cars in 1994

Verse 3:
I’m not going to tell you the story
You can look it up for yourself
Boxing Day 2004
If you’re old enough you'll remember it well

Verse 4:
She was lost with so many
A quarter of a million on that day alone
So many people died on that day
But Leone was the only one I’d ever known

Chorus 2:
Tragedies happen all of the time
Somewhere in the world every day
We've all felt the ripples in time
No matter how far away

Verse 5:
Big stories and small
All those beginnings and ends
Leone's final story was sad story
It’s mostly remembered by her family and friends

Verse 6:
She shared her name with her car
Funny what memories do
Except for the end of her tale
Her name and her car were all that I knew

Shared Her Name

This is a live version of an original song, written many years ago when I was young and idealistic :-) The Band was called "Both Ends Burning"

Class Distinctions (Dm Am7) Capo 1
Class distinctions your working class (Dm Am)
In the environment you need a pass (G Am)
Class is colour back or white (Dm Am)
Class big brother a knock in the night (G Am)

Class Distinctions

Class addiction the drugs you need
Class infection the rag you read
Class rejection your down and out
Class detection and you’ve been found out!

Class Distinctions

You know its right (Dm Am)
You’ve never liked it and you’d like to fight (G Am)
Maybe someday (Dm Am)
We’ll as see things a different way (G A)

And those Class Distinctions

Class election red or blue
Whatever you choose now it ain’t up to you
Class defection don’t cross that line
Class reflection get it right next time

Class Distinctions

You know its right 
You’ve never liked it and you’d like to fight 
Maybe someday 
We’ll as see things a different way 

And those Class Distinctions

90's influence hard rock made in Metro Detroit.

Things won't change. Grab a blanket and a basket full of rage.
They won't help you with a cause. They're pushing buttons, can't put your fingers on.....Helpless all along.
When will common decency fall apart?

Conversation drifts erasing value time.
When we try, dead words collide, burning us inside.
Conversation drifts erasing all we know.
Terrified, demoralized. We might just die alone.

All the things we won before, lets lose the game to even up the score....much better than before.
If you were good, then we were faking. All the shit they keep taking now...helpless all along.
When will common decency fall apart?

If we walk away, we won't be flying high.

Drift

I wrote this song for our Celts track, but it didn't quite fit that vibe, and so we decided it would be better as its own single, and here it is. It is based on an old Welsh myth.

A love song?😍 Yeah, maybe. But not the usual kind.
This one's about giving it all. No filters, no fear, no plan B.
Because when someone becomes your whole damn life,
you stop playing it cool.
You burn. You shine. You stay.
My life is you.❤️
Take it or leave it.
At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.

Lyrics:

All my life was just rushing away
‘till now
When you weren’t there
But now even the sun and the stars
Have stopped their rise and fall

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Only you 
Now my life  
Belongs to you
To you  

Yes, I'm gonna catch the stars in the sky
Right now
So your bright eyes  
Have lights that shine as high
For their eternal lives  

Yes, I'll catch the magic in the air
Right now
For your happiness
And make you smile forevermore
For the rest of your life  

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Honey
My life is you

My life is you
My life is you
All my life is you
Darling
My life is you

Yes, I'll set the fire in my heart
Right now
To keep you warm
Through the coldest nights
Forever by my side

Yes, I'll paint the heavens in your name
Right now
So every dawn
Will whisper soft and bright
That you’re my only light

My life is you
My life is you
My life is you
Darling
My life is you
Honey
My life is you

My life is you
My life is you
All my life is you
Darling
My life is you

My life is you
All my, my life
My life is you

My life is you


My Life Is You

Lyrics Video

Chill indie folk with a sensible message. 

Nate Self-Regulates

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
