So you take your bow / To embrace the down
Clutch a plan for tomorrow / In place of a now
Cos you’re half way to nowhere / Yet still nowhere near
That star in a jar / Drank too dry for tears

With your screwed up sense / Of what’ll go wrong
In your role play musical / Without any song
And with a tragic ending / Always guaranteed
It's the only way for a loser / To truly succeed

But you’ve been breaking your neck to waste your time (it’s your time it’s not a crime no)
Just so you can sit and watch the world go by (say goodbye just don’t try no)
It’s been breaking my heart watching you fade (and fade…and fade)
We know that those rings said forever what a close shave, a close shave a close shave

When the get one free / Is all you deserve
And you love to receive / But hate to serve
You're only racing / When nobody knows
Cos you’re King of the mountains / Where no one else goes
King of the mountains / Where no one else knows
You're King of the mountain’s Lonely echoes

But you’ve been breaking your neck to waste your time (it’s your time it’s not a crime no)
Just So you can sit and watch the world go by (say goodbye just don’t try no)
It’s been breaking my heart watching you fade (and fade…and fade)
We know that those rings said forever what a close shave a close shave a close shave
But you’ve been breaking your neck to waste your time (it’s your time it’s not a crime no)
Just So you can sit and watch the world go by (say goodbye just don’t try no)
It’s been breaking my heart watching you fade (and fade…and fade)
We know that those rings said forever what a close shave a close shave a close shave
Close / what a / shave / what a / close / what a / what a close shave
Close / what a / shave / what a / close / what a / what a close shave
Close / what a / shave / what a / close / what a / what a close shave

lyrics:

strolling down the street i knew so well
when i was a boy and made my way to
school

and the school was closed long time ago
because bleeding us dry nowadays seems to be
cool

we create new dead end towns

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

young people turned their backs on that one way street
and all the factories are rotten but you built a new town
hall

and the color of the town slowly turned into a grey
like the face of a forgotten but the cemetry is pretty
green

a field of broken dreams

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
you know i still love you
don't let it get you

Woodstock

Ain’t no way I’m wrong 
You said it was a long way
You said that it was just for play….
But now she’s looking pretty for approval in her eye
Loving face of time that carried us off of the rug
Better than Better than better than better than nothing by the pound.
We begin we begin we being we begin with every step over ground. 
Ain’t no way I’m wrong
Everybody has tried to runaway
To wish they decided to stay
Making faces in the mirror on an overnight
They were so young in the everlasting sunlight
It was then it was then it was then that first caught their sight
It was them it was them it was them made them hold on so tight
And now I’m breathing in and out to calm down
In and out to calm down. 
Calm down
Calm down
Ain’t no way I’m wrong 
You said it was a long way
You said that it was just for play….
But now she’s looking pretty for approval in her eye
Loving face of time that carried us off of the rug
Better than Better than better than Better than nothing by the pound.
We begin we begin we being we begin the with every step above ground.

I used to depend
On letters to send
Pulling it over opening the door 
Feeling so sick I was begging for more
Champion player got a matchmaker
Too many meetings
Too much hustle
Gave me the plague
And a chronic ulcer
Too many favorites
Playing the game
Got mixed up in a fairy tale
Flame
Sun wouldn’t rise
Every time/ I tried to rely
On pilgrims and players
atomic soothsayers
Adjusted my faders
The family caters
I never really wanted to try
Forever really tempted to cry
Shouting out above the wind
Bending all the rules to begin
Better in the mannerly way
Holding up a dozen to sway
The millionaire in spotted ties
ratio-charted  pies
Blazers hit the street at the raucous time
Many in the way had crossed the borderline
Of cruelty and hatred and still got clean
As the weak ones were tackled by the mean machine
Some would have a Séance
Some would hide their trademarks
Knowing their investments
nurtured resentments
So you see my little chickens
You’re the one on display
And the fox with shiny ribbons
Is trying to steal the game
Every single second that you come to complain
Another little chick has just  taken your place

Faders

This song could have been about Instagram, but hey... Isn't Facebook the mother of all social networks? We went a bit nuts here, and proudly sport our French accent. We're aliens after all... Just listen till the end and tell us what you think :)

Lyrix:

Uuuh let it rain 
let it rain 
let it rain 
on my skin love 
come like the wind 
come to me 
come to me 
come to me

My, my oh my love 
let me losen up that tie love
there’s no reason to be shy love 
come to me
come to me 
come to me 
come to me

mmm your lips taste like wine 
oh oh so mighty fine 
don’t deny love 
oh baby don’t make me cry love 
come to me 
come to me 
come to me

Uuuh let it rain 
let it rain 
let it rain 
on my skin love 
come like the wind 
come to me 
come to me 
come to me
