ll est des évidences
des choses qui vont de soi
dire ce que l’on pense
ce qu’on sent, ce qu’on croit.

Mais moi toute ma vie
Je gardais tout pour moi
Comme un loir endormi 
engourdi par le froid..

Etait-ce par pudeur
Par peur de m’exposer
D’ouvrir un peu mon coeur
Ou simplement d’oser.

Montrer peur ou colère
Inquiétude ou tendresse.
N’était  pour toi mon père
Que choquante faiblesse

Sois un homme mon gars !
Cogne fort et encaisse.
 
Surtout ne pleure pas !
C’est bon pour les gonzesses

Rester copie conforme
A ce  modèle viril
Ne pas braver la norme.
Voilà. !Ainsi-soit -il !

REFRAIN    

Mais est venu le jour
De remise en question
Toi touché à ton tour
Par ton opération


Pour toi bien difficile
La maladie soudain
Te révélait fragile
Ou simplement humain

Aux portes de la mort
Tu m’as dit ton amour
En moi, il vit encore
Et il vivra toujours.
Tu m’as dit ton amour
Mieux vaut tard que jamais
Je t’ai dit à mon tour
A quel point je t’aimais...

 Better late than never

Some things are obvious
things that go without saying
to say what you think
what you feel, what you believe.
But all my life
I kept everything to myself
Like a sleeping dormouse 
numbed by the cold.

Was it out of modesty
For fear of exposing myself
To open my heart a little
Or simply to dare.
To show fear or anger
Worry or tenderness.
For you, my father
Only shocking weakness

Be a man, boy!
Hit hard and take it.
Above all, don't cry!
It's good for the chicks

Stay a carbon copy
To this virile model
Don't defy the norm.
So be it!

REFRAIN    

But the day has come
Of questioning
You in turn
By your operation
For you very difficult
Sudden illness
Revealed you to be fragile
Or simply human
At death's door
You told me of your love
In me it still lives
And always will.
You told me of your love
Better late than never
I told you in turn
How much I loved you...

Mieux Vaut Tard  avec Julia

Throwing An Indigo Van Out the Passenger Side Window

Entire Studios

you can not trust other people,
to hold the wind that moves your steeple,
let it go,
cause other people blow,

you can not trust other humans,
to hold the wind that blows right through them,
weather vanes,
their pleasure casting pains,
knotted cord,
and sharpened sword,
and Darpa Lord,
and...

she-bop, she-bop,
YAAARRRRGH!

don't let it in,
the winding of the wind,
let it go,
your steeples gonna grow,

and the wind says: Blow,

the bridge is the same,
it's screaming your name,
the chords will not change,
the lyrics are strange,
oh why can't you see?
it's blowing through me,
and sometimes it's sweet,
and sometimes it's foul,
it's pneumatic growl,
from hush unto howl,
can be heard and assured,
neath the wings of an owl,
from breast unto bowel,
don't throw in the towel,

when i see her in the street oh boy!
the eyebrows of Eddie Munster,
make my heart go: thump-thump-thump-thump-thump,

you can not trust other people,
to spill the tank that you must keep full,
stay away,
cause beauty will betray,
you can not trust their affections,
the wind will blow in all directions,
break or bend,
in the deep end you depend,
every song,
that goes on for too long...
