FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
PERDU DANS LE PURPLE HAZE
DANS LA VALLÉE DES SYCOMORES

UN PARADIS ARTIFICIEL
A L’AUTRE BOUT DE L’ARC EN CIEL
ET TANT ET TANT DE TEMPS DEVANT QU’ON EN VOIT PAS VRAIMENT LA FIN

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
PERDU DANS LES CHAMPS DE FRAISES
DANS LES BRUMES DU NEVERMORE

UN PARADIS CONSENSUEL
PEUPLÉ DE FILLES SENSUELLES
AVANT D’ALLER SE FAIRE AVOIR DE L’AUTRE CÔTÉ DU MIROIR

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
JUSTE FILER À L’ANGLAISE
ET RESSUSCITER LE MATAMORE

FUNNY DAYS FUNNY WAYS
YELLOW SUNSHINE PURPLE HAZE
ET NO FUTUR DANS L’ANGLE MORT
 


FUNNY DAYS (lyrics)

BLANCHE NEIGE CRUELLA D’ENFER
J’AI PAS L’AIR MAIS JE LES AFFOLE
AVEC MON AIR DE PAS AVOIR L’AIR
J’AI PAS L’AIR MAIS J’AI LES PAROLES

CENDRILLON LA PETITE SIRENE
J’AI PAS L’AIR MAIS ELLES EN RAFFOLENT
DE MON AIR QUI NE MANQUE PAS D’AIR
J’AI PAS L’AIR MAIS J’AI LES PAROLES

MOI BALOU OU THOMAS O’MALEY
JE SUIS DU GENRE BALOURD ET C’EST ÇA QUI LEUR PLAIT
POUR UN AMOUR À LA DISNEY

TOI LA BELLE ET PUIS MOI LA BETE
J’AI PAS L’AIR MAIS J’AI LES PAROLES
MOI CLOCHARD ET PUIS TOI CLOCHETTE
NO COMMENT HISTOIRE SANS PAROLE

MOI GRINCHEUX CAPITAINE CROCHET
JE SUIS MOCHE ET VIEUX MAIS C’EST ÇA QUI LEUR PLAIT
POUR UN AMOUR A LA DISNEY

ALLEZ DUCHESSE ADIEU BAMBI
C’ETAIT BIEN MAIS C’EST BIEN FINI
SO LONG FOLKS


L'AMOUR A LA DISNEY (lyrics)

VEUX_TU ETRE MON ALIBI BABY
ENTRE ONZE HEURES ET MINUIT
J’ETAIS DANS TON LIT
A L’HEURE DU SERIAL KILLER

JE N’AI PAS BOUGÉD’ICI DIS LEUR
PAS AVANT MINUIT UNE HEURE
SURTOUT PAS D’ERREUR
CAR IL Y VA DE MA VIE

VEUX_TU ETRE MON ALIBI BABY
POUR M’ÉVITER BIRIBI
J’ÉTAIS DANS TON LIT
A TE LIRE HENRI MILLER

SI TU JOUES MON ALIBI BABY
ON FERA FIFTY-FIFTY
ET GUILI-GUILI
ET A NOUS LA GRANDE VIE


ALIBI

PAS TRACES DE PAS DANS LE HALL
ET PEU D’INDICES EN SOMME
POUR SEUL TÉMOIN
 NAT KING COLE
QUI TOURNE AD LIBITUM

AU SOL UN CORPS IMMOBILE
MAIS QUI ÉTAIT CET HOMME
SANS ALIBI NI MOBILE ?
MYSTÈRE ET BOULE DE GOMME

TU ME TUES JE T’ASSASSINE
ET L’UN  L’AUTRE DÉGOMME
UN SEUL BEC DANS LA FARINE
SUR LE LINOLÉUM

QUAND L’ASSASSIN LA VICTIME,
NE SONT  QU’UNE MÊME PERSONNE
À QUI PROFITE LE CRIME ?
MYSTÈRE ET BOULE DE GOMME…

PAS TRACES DE PAS DANS LE HALL
ET PEU D’INDICES EN SOMME
POUR SEUL TÉMOIN NAT KING COLE
QUI TOURNE AD LIBITUM


MYSTERE ET BOULE DE GOMME (lyrics)

WHAT DO YOU DO IN LIFE FOR YOUR LIVING
YOU LOOK IN SUCH A SHAPE IT IS AMAZING
ARE YOU PLAYING CRICKET
ARE YOU DOING CHICKLET
OH YOU LOOK SO GREAT YOU MUST HAVE A SECRET

OH NO NO NO I’M JUST A HAPPY MAN
AN I WAS BORN LIKE THIS
AND I WAS BUILT FOR BLISS
AND LEISURE AND PLEASURE
EAT, SLEEP FISH

WE WANNA KNOW ABOUT HIS LIFE AND STORY
TO HAVE HIM HAVE A SMILE SO CHEEZY
IS HE PLAYING BLACK JACK
IS HE DOING PROZAC
DOES HE HAVE A TRICK LIKE A FOOT ON THE GOLD TRACK

OH NO NO NO HE’S JUST A HAPPY MAN
SHOWING THE WORLD AROUND
HAPPINESS CAN BE FOUND
IN LEISURE AND PLEASURE
EAT DRINK FISH

HE IS KIND OF HIPPIE
LIVING IN A TEEPEE
COSl WHATEVER COMES YOU’LL NEVER SEE HIM GRUMPY
WELL JUST BECAUSE
HE IS A HAPPY MAN
AND HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE
IN PLEASURE AND LEISURE
EAT FUCK FISH



A HAPPY MAN (lyrics)

Marcel had his madeleine
And every one has a picture on the wall
Rimbaud his scar from verlaine
As for my childhood as a whole

It’s not cherry tart no pink truffle
No crème brûlée or even tutsi fruti
Just give me back the old days long time gone
A taste on your lips of iced watermelon

Some will want a diamond sting
A song to remember eternally
A lover tatooed on the skin
But as for me i go for simplicity

Don’t want no lollipop no sugar frosting
And the hell with fig jam or juicy papaya
O if  you want to please Justin Vivian Bond
Just come up with a slice of iced watermelon
Lipstick…

Don’t want no cherry tart no candy apple
No peach parfait or even cotton candy
Just send me back somewhere where it feels like home
The heartbreaking flavor of iced watermelon lipstick 
lipstick lipstick lipstick lipstick




ICED WATERMELON LIPSTICK (lyrics) song for Justin Vivian Bond

MY LIFE IS MY WIFE
MY LIFE IS MY WIFE
F   C
AND I COULD NEVER DO WITHOUT
SHE’S ALL I REALLY CARE ABOUT
G
OH MAN IF YOU KNEW
Am
WHAT SHE AND I’VE BEEN THROUGH
OUR LOVE IS TRUE
F E7
AND SHE WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN

MY LIFE IS MY WIFE
MY LIFE IS MY WIFE
THEY SAY ALL THINGS COME TO AN END
WELL I CAN TELL YOU THIS MY FRIEND
BETWEEN HER AND I
IT’S THE APPLE OF THE EYE
AND I WILL NEVER DIE
COS SHE WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN 

MY LIFE IS MY WIFE


MY LIFE stoned demo (lyrics)

SOUNDS LIKE A DREAM
LOOKS LIKE A MIRACLE
A MAGIC BEAN 
JUMPING OFF THE WALL

COLOURFUL TIE
PANTS OF A VEGETABLE
HI HI HI
I’M SUCH A LUCKY MOLE

THAT LAZY FEELING
THAT NOTHING MUCH
COMPARES THE HEALING
OF YOUR MAGIC TOUCH
WHERE AM I GOING
DON’T KNOW BUT HELL
YOUR HONEY LICKING
RINGS MY BELL

WHISPERING SILK
BABY YOUR SKIN MAKES ME SHY
WHITE AS THE MILK
OF A MOONLIGHT LULLABY

THAT WONDROUS FEELING
THAT NOTHING MORE
COULD HAVE ME WHISTLING
OR CLIMBING DOWN THE WALL
WHAT AM I DOING 
TRIPPING IN MY HOLE
JERKING AT THE WHEEL
I’M SUCH A LUCKY MOLE


LUCKY MOLE (lyrics)

I WAS BORN AS A CAVEMAN
TAKEN AWAY FROM LIFE
WITH THE SHRIEKS OF THE RAVENS
FOR ONLY LULLABIES

IN THE DARKNESS AROUND ME
SOMETIMES CAME AS A VISION
THE IMAGE OF A FAIRY
THE SHADE OF ILLUSION

THAN I WOKE UP ONE MORNING
AS A KING ON A THRONE
RESPECTED ALMIGHTY 
WAS IT ME OR MY CLONE 
BUT THEN I TURNED INTO AVENGE
THEN I WANTED REVENGE
AND BECAME QUITE A TYRANT
CRUEL MEAN VIOLENT

OH OH OH BABY
WHAT IS LIFE BUT A DREAM

AND SENT BACK TO THE DARKNESS
WHERE I SEEM TO BELONG
SOLITARY AND HOPELESS
IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN
IF ONLY LIFE WOULD GIVE ME 
C  BB
A SECOND CHANCE TO EMBRACE
WHAT A GOOD KING I WOULD BE
WITH MY CURSE TO EFFACE

OH OH OH BABY
WHAT IS LIFE BUT A DREAM

AND WITH NO UNDERSTANDING
OF WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON
WE SPEND OUR LIVES REBOUNCING 
FROM A CAVE TO A THRONE

WHEN WE THINK WE GOT IT MADE
JUST LIKE OLD SIGISMOND
THEN WE’RE SENT BACK IN THE SHADE
WHERE WE SEEM TO BELONG

CANNABIS INDICA (lyrics)

SOME ONE SOMETIME SOMEWHERE
A WHOLE LIFETIME TO SHARE
OR JUST A LAZY AFTERNOON
UNDER THE SILVER MOON

SOMEWHERE SOMEONE SOMETIME
A BRAND NEW SUN TO SHINE
A DIVE IN A MAGIC LAGOON
LOVE IN A SILVER SPOON
				
KNOCK KNOCK MAY I COME IN ?

MERRY GO ROUND


MERRY GO ROUND (lyrics)

WELL DID YOU EVER WAKE UP WITH A FISHBOWL ON YOUR HEAD ?
OR DID YOU PLAY PIANO ON A MECHANICAL HAT ?
I TRIED TO REACH FOR MY GLASS GOING UP AND DOWN
BUT WE COULD NEVER MAKE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON

I READ SOME BAD NEWS IN TOMORROW’S PAPER
ABOUT A GIANT COSMIC GOOSE READY TO SWALLOW THE WORLD
BUT WE MAY GIVE IT A TRY HOPEFULLY TO COPE
WITH A BUNCH OF WEIRDOES INSIDE A BUBBLE OF SOAP
READY FOR HOPE

AND WE KNOW ONE OF THE ONES WHO MAKE THIS WORLD GO ROUND
HER NAME IS JANE
JANE BOM BANE
STILL SHE’LL NEVER MAKE IT TO THE HALL OF FAME

WE DON’T NEED NO PRESIDENT NO GURU NO POPE
IT DOES’NT TAKE SOME SPECIAL MEDICINE OR DOPE
BUT JUST A BUNCH OR WEIRDOES IN A BUBBLE OF SOAP
READY TO COPE

AND WE KNOW ONE OF THE ONES WHO MAKE THIS WORLD GO ROUND
HER NAME IS JANE
JANE BOM BANE
AND WE’LL NEVER MAKE IT TO THE HALL OF FAME

ARE YOU READY TO COPE ?
READY FOR HOPE ?

 


JANE BOM-BANE (lyrics) + Barbara Browning

WHAT’S THE USE OF GOING BACK THIS WAY
IT SEEMS I’VE SEEN THAT PLACE BEFORE
WHY SHOULD I EVER ASK FOR MORE
LIFE IN A LOOP IS SUCH A BORE
AND I ADORE
A NEW DOOR

I KNOW ALL THE COLORS THAT YOU WEAR
I HEARD A MILLION TIMES THIS SONG
I NEED SOME NEW STUFF ON MY TONGUE
I WAS RIGHT I WANNA BE WRONG
AND HAVE A BONG
IN CHITAGONG

ANYTHING NEW 
WILL DO
POPPING OUT THE BLUE

GIVE ME MUD I’LL TURN IT INTO GOLD
IT’S SUCH A NEW GAS GETTING OLD
I WANNA STAND BOTH BOLD AND BRAVE
ON THE VERY EDGE OF THE WAVE
AND I JUST CRAVE
FOR A NEW RAVE

HABITS ARE ALL UP AROUND THE BEND
I’VE SEEN THIS FILM AND KNOW THE END 
I WAS BORN I WANNA BE DEAD 
I WAS DEAD I WANNA BE BORN
AND DO IT ALL OVER THE SAME BUT NOT THE SAME

ANYTHING NEW 
WILL DO
POPPING OUT THE BLUE

WHAT’S THE USE OF GOING BACK THIS WAY
IT SEEMS I’VE SEEN THAT PLACE BEFORE
WHY SHOULD I EVER ASK FOR MORE
LIFE IN A LOOP IS SUCH A BORE
AND I ADORE
TO EXPLORE


NEW (lyrics)

SUCH A LONG WAY
FROM HERE TO HERE
GETTING NOWHERE
FROM HERE TO HERE

SUCH A LONG TIME
FROM NOW TILL NOW
TURNING ROUND AND ROUND
FROM NOW TILL NOW


FROM HERE TO HERE (lyrics)

YOUNG KIDS OLD BUMS
FACE TO FACE IN THE PHOTO ALBUMS
WERE WE REALLY THERE
WERE WE REALLY THOSE
SAME SHAPE OF THE NOSE
BUT NO MORE HAIR

GRACEFUL LADIES
OLD RAGGED DOGS AND CUTE LITTLE PUPPIES
COME SIT BY MY SIDE
I’LL TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE
AWFUL AND SUBLIME
EXPLORING TIME

FACE TO FACE
EYE TO EYE
SELF EFFACE
I AND I IIIIIIIIIII

SMALL BRATS OLD CHUMS
MIRRORED IN THE PHOTO ALBUMS
TAKE LIFE AS IT COMES
MOSTLY AS IT GOES
SOMEFONE LOOKING CLOSE
BUT NO MORE HERE

IT’S SO AMAZING HOW YOUR MOTHER
LOOKED LIKE YOU WHEN YOU WERE OLDER
OR WAS SHE EVER YOUNG

BRIGHT TEETH OLD GUMS
SMILING AT THE PHOTO-ALBUMS
WILL IT STILL BE ME
AND WAS I THE ONE
CAN LIFE REALLY BE
UPSIDE DOWN
  
COME ON COME ON 
HOP ON THE PHOTO ALBUM
THRILLS AND CHILLS
SERVED CHILLED ON BOARD
BY THE ALMIGHTY LORD
HOP ON HOP ON
HOP ON THE PHOTO ALBUM
HOP ON HOP ON


PHOTO-ALBUMS (lyrics)

LOVE’S A PSYCHEDELIC GOGO
LOVE’S A VERY PRIVATE SHOW
CHECK YOUR EDGAR ALLAN POE
YOUR SHAKESPEARE OR VICTOR HUGO
THEY WILL ALSO TELL YOU SO
GET YOUR KICKS DON’T LET ME KNOW OH OH

LOVE IS ONCE UPON AN OCEAN
UNIVERSAL EXPLANATION
Of WHERE AND WHEN AND WHY AND HOW
WE JUMP AND LAUGH AND CRY AND HOWL
AND HIDE AND SEEK RIGHT OFF THE BEAT
AND GOT ME CRAWLING AT YOUR FEET AH AH

AM I A MAN OR A CHOW CHOW
ARE WE A BAND OR A POW WOW

LOVE’S A PSYCHEDELIC GOGO
LOVE’S A VERY PRIVATE SHOW
CHECK YOUR POUND OR WILLIAM BLAKE
SHAKE YOUR LITTLE RATTLESNAKE
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING TO BAKE
ROCK N’ ROLL SHOULD BE THE CAKE


LOVE 'N' ROLL (lyrics)

SITTING ON A BENCH WITH A RAY OF SUN BY MY SIDE
LOOKING AT THE RUNNING PEOPLE THE GROOM AND THE BRIDE
SIPPING AT MY ICE COOL BEER WITH NOT A THING IN MIND
EXCEPT FOR SOME SWEET SONG FROM BACK AWAY IN TIME

DEAR RAY DEAR RAY
YOU KEEP ON SHINING

YOUR ENCHANTING FUNNY VOICE REMINDS OF THE DAYS 
WHEN I WAS A SCHOOL BOY AND YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO LAZE 
SINCE I NEVER SPENT A DAY WITHOUT YOU ON MY MIND
MELANCHOLIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN OUR PARTY LINE

IN THIS WORLD OF DECAY
WHERE JOY MEETS DISARRAY
LET ME SING COME WHAT MAY
JUST A LITTLE AN ODE TO RAY

YOUR ENCHANTING FUNNY SMILE LOOKS A BIT LIKE A GRIN
COULD IT BE THAT SUCCESS DON’T REALLY MEAN A THING
WHEN MY DAY WILL COME TO GO AND FLY ME TO THE MOON
LET IT BE SUMMER DAY AND A SUNNY AFTERNOON

ODE TO RAY (lyrics) + Gary Reeves on drums

LITTLE KIDS LYING MOON INFLATING
EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GROWING
OUR LIFE LIVING AND LACK OF UNDERSTANDING
EVERYTHING’S GROWING SLOW 

HOW ABOUT YOUR LOVE YOUR FINGERS IN MY GLOVE
DO THEY KEEP A’ GROWING TOO

DEEP SEA ROARING THE CRACK ON THE CEILING
EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GROWING

HOW ABOUT YOUR DART IN MY LITTLE HEART
DOES IT KEEP A’ GROWING TOO

FLOWERS GROWING MULTIPLYING
EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE GROWING


GROWING (lyrics)

DAN & ANN THEY ARE ONE
YOU AND I ARE TOO
LOVE IS OUR COMMON GROUND
AND THE BEST WAY TO BE TWO

FIRST YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GONNA DO
THEN YOUR STORY HAPPENS TO BE TRUE

EACH IS LOST BOTH OUR FOUND
FALLEN FROM THE BLUE
OR THE OTHER WAY AROUND
DAN & ANN ME AND YOU

FIRST YOU WANT YOUR STORY TO BE TRUE 
THEN YOU SUDDENLY KNOW WHAT TO DO

ANN LOVES DAN STEELY DAN
YOU GUESS WHO LOVES YOU
