Wonderful, warm, indie sounds. Love the muffled guitar strumming with the bright synth bursts.  And your vocals, as always, are gorgeous.

Low-grade fever at night

Frigus Manibus

DELUSION  1

I am running in my dream
Really too scared to sleep
I need to wake up I know
I can’t be late
I am this open window

	Nine years behind the walls
	And one hour for me
I cross the many gates
And feel guilty again

I am running in my dream
You need your clean clothes
And the hidden chocolate
Hope they won’t find it
Hope they won’t find it

	Nine years behind the walls
	And one hour for me
I cross the many gates
And feel guilty again

20 minutes to breath
News, family and friends
The one that miss you, the one that hates you
The one that forgot you,
And you won’t forget

	Nine years behind the walls
	And one hour for me
I cross the many gates
And feel guilty again

You talk to me and I feel better 
When I see you kept the light
You ask me about outside
The girls and the sea,
The café and the bars

Do you remember the smell of the bakery as the sun rises
On the sea
Her long hair and funny smile,
Her soft skin and sparking eyes.

KING KONG

© Copyright Lyrics & Music JoFa 2009

Used to climb the highest mountains
I am climbing the tallest buildings
I am the enemy of mankind
They stole my kingdom
They made me a slave
Killing Mother Nature
Grinding, digging, 
With no caring, no sharing

Let me be your King
Let me be your Kong
I am out of the jungle
Never been to a city
I don’t know about pity
But I will fight for you
But I will die for you

Savage they call me
Beast they treat me
But my heart in one
One sun born for you Star
You are the one for me
You are the one from far
I will take all the risk
Just for you, tiny lady

 
Let me be your King
Let me be your Kong
I am out of the jungle
Never been to a city
I don’t know about pity
But I will fight for you
But I will die for you


We the black hairy ones
We the proud Bonobo’s
We fight till the end
My human queen
I will stand alone against the world
Will give you my last blink
Will give you my last breath

If I came here to Soho
It’s for you my princess so…
So let me keep you in my hand
Feel your skin so thin, thin
Until the end, the end
It will take a thousand bullets
To stop my heart for you to beat
Let them think I am the monster
You know who made the disaster.

King Kong

Minority 

© Copyright JoFa & Al 2021

I am the minority
I belong to humanity

I am the emergency
Loosing blood with dignity

You are the minority
Surviving to mediocrity
Telling truth to hypocrisy

Small people with big idea
Are we, are we
Are we an anomaly?

You thrive, you thrive,
You thrive for conformity
Dreaming of web and TV
Looking at me like an old three

Fading ethnies, fading species
A fading call for eternity

We are the unknown color
Sounding like a secret language

You want to turn the pages of the book
To forget the story we wrote

You all look alike an scared
So scared of diversity

You throw me out of the house
But I may have the key
But I may have the key
Harmony, harmony…

Minority

IN THE DUST

Not even an echo of myself
Not even a shadow
Try to leave a trace
A print in the sand, a light in the sky
In the dust, invisible, invisible
In the concrete jungle
Try to be a tree and leave my fruits
Just to bring my grace and fade away
That’s my story, … no glory

In the dust

THINGS IN MY HEAD

	These things in my head
	Things in my heart
	Make me sad
	Make me mad

	These things in my head
	Things in my heart
	Won’t leave me alone
	Don’t leave me alone

		Pas de joie, pas d’émoi
		Pas de peur, pas de haine
		Pas de scène, pas de ‘blem

		Pas de Dieu, pas de foi
		Pas de roi, pas de reine
		Pas de lien, pas de rennes

	I’ll be dead
	Oh...... but I’ll be free
	I’ll be free 
	once I’ll be dead
	
	Now things in my head in my heart
	Left me alone
	Everything is quite, so quite and empty 
	I must be dead

Things in my head

PLAY AROUND

It’s 6 in the morning
I hear the radio crying
I won't ever get up
I am still laying - sleeping
Stay here while it’s cold
And frightning outside - frightning outside
These people around are too serious
To save the planet 

	The world is round but we can’t play around - can’t play around
	Try to find another planet - another one
	Try to get out of the net
	Can’t get out of the bed 
	Can’t get out of the bed

Can’t smile today
These people around are too serious
To let me enjoy living - playing
I try to stay outside but anyway
I am in - the way (I got to pay)
These people around are too serious
To let anything grow
Except starvation and polution

The world is round but we can’t play around - can’t play around
	Try to find another planet - another one
	Try to get out of the net
	Can’t get out of the bed 
		Can’t get out of the bed

Just pull the car around.
And please let us know when your due to arrive.
cause they'll be dancing in the street.
from the moment you arrive.
It's been such a long time
Since I've held you

And they we drive along the ocean with your hair undone
and your suitcase strapped firmly on my back. 

And so we drive and drive and drive and drive
And so we drive and drive and drive and drive
And so we drive and drive and drive and drive

Just pull the car around.
And please let us know when your due to arrive.
cause they'll be dancing in the street.
from the moment you arrive.
Just pull the car around.
And please let us know when your due to arrive.
Just pull the car around.
And please let us know when your due to arrive.
cause they'll be dancing in the street.........

FADING CALL
De la sagesse comme les statues détruites, les peuples et les espèces disparues, nous n’entendons plus l’appel. Un collectif qui use du son comme un lien : l’humanité, par delà les cultures, langues, territoires et religions. Le son du partage, une halte, une nuit, une heure, un vrai regard posé sur l’autre et… des bras qui nous serrent.

Mohamed KANNOU aka Nadsat
Tunisie
Composition, guitare, percussions, batterie.
Architecte mais aussi architecte du son, amoureux de son pays et particulièrement des iles Kerkennah d’où il est originaire : seul endroit au monde où les hommes possèdent une parcelle de mer. DJ, compositeur, indépendant et sensible…

Alexandre DELMAS aka Al
