Tell Me

Piano driven with a classical echo / influence - it cheers up towards the end :)
French Translation - PAS GRANDE SUPRISE
                                                                                                                                                                             She seldom laughs out loud now                   She’s not so very proud now 
Elle ne rit pas souvent maintentant               Elle n’est pas très fière maintentant
Appears so ill at ease                                        So very hard to please  
Semble si mal à l’aise                                        Si difficile à satisfaire                                                                                                                                                                      
Permits herself a smile                                     The shadow of beguile           
S’accorde un sourire	                                      L’ombre d’une séduction                                                                                                                                 

He seldom finds the time now                       To call “that friend of mine” now
Il trouve rarement le temps maintenant      Pour rapeller cet un des mes copaines maintenant
Trapped up in a circus                                      He swims towards the surface 
 Prisonier d’un cirque de farce	                     Il nage vers la surface  
Still struggling for air                                       He’s struggling to care 
Cherchant toujours son souffle	                     Il lui est de s’impliquer

God  knows it’s   - no big surprise   ,    one day to  -    open your eyes
Dieu sais c’est – pas grande surprise, un jour à ouvrir tes yeux
And wonder what you’re seeing,      And wonder where you’ve been
Et démandes toi ce que tu vois         Et demandes toi où tu as été
They know it’s   - no big surprise   ,           one day - to realise 
Ils savent que c’est – pas grande surprise, un jour - à realiser
That everything’s seem strange             and nothing’s really changed…………….
Que tous les choses semble étrange       et rien a vraiment changé
That said -         From time to time -   the tide will turn    - stars will align
Et bien,              de temps en temps - la mare tournera et les étoiles s’alignent
That’s better -   Blue’s in the sky -      The sun will set – guess the sun will rise
Ça c’est mieux – le ciel est bleu -        Le soliel se couchera – et je suppose se levera       
No big surprise--- God knows it’s ----- No big surprise ----- They know it’s --- No big surprise   
Pas grande suprise – Dieu sais c’est pas grande suprise – Ils savent que c’est – Pas grande surprise

No Big Surprise

In the days of bare knuckle boxing a line was drawn in sand. If you got knocked over you had ten seconds to get back on your feet and step up to the line.  Guess we all have days like that.  Piano David JW Murray and sax David McDonald. Thanks for listening.
