I wish you would believe me when I say it is true 
Words can be deceiving all that matters for me is you 
Is this the reason why you are away from me? 
Can’t you see that I now know we are meant to be? 

I did not believe this could happen anymore 
From the moment I saw you nothing was like before 

Sitting on my own I just want to go away 
This room full of people nobody cares if I stay 
I see you arriving; joyfully laughing there’s no escape 
And I feel it in my heart like thunder in the dark it must be fate 

I did not believe this could happen anymore 
From the moment I saw you nothing was like before 

You were standing not far away and I was feeling so astray what should I do? 
And so I moved along, irresistibly drawn to you 
To my surprise, you looked into my eyes and smiled 
And nothing was ever the same; you had me under your name, beguiled 

I did not believe this could happen anymore 
From the moment I saw you nothing was like before

Beguiled

She comes into my dreams
She comes every night
She crawls out of my memory
She clings to my mind

She gives me the shakes
I wake up drenched in sweat
She gives and she takes
She will never be content

Down through the rabbit hole
Down to the land of no control

She left me with a little taste
So sweet and so intense
I fall directly into her embrace
She knows how to keep me there

Down through the rabbit hole
Down to the land of no control

She was standing in her own way
This I still remember
She already knew I wouldn’t escape
She knew I would be hers forever

Down through the rabbit hole
Down to the land of no control

No Control

There is no way out
It's time to end
The feeling's lost
And soon there will only be regret

And I just want you to be adored
The way you deserve and not condone
The frailties of my reckless behaviour

Is it true?
Don't you really want to?
Run away with me
And live life as it should be

'Cause I just want you to be adored
The way you deserve and not condone
The frailties of my reckless behaviour

By closing up this door
You leave me once more
Lost in this dream
Of what was and should have been

But I just want you to be adored
The way you deserve and not condone
The frailties of my reckless behaviour

Adored

Fallen over into the night 
Where real life is supposed to be
People tend to lose their masks 
And show you what they really mean
A crowded room full of sorrow
Disguised with glitter and joyful hair
Another colourful drink to swallow 
And your mind will soon forget

Strobing lights hit the floor
A rush of blood through my head
I'm stuck up against the wall
Waiting for it all to end
Amidst all the commotion I watch
A runway of vanity 
I fall oppressed to my own thoughts
Hoping deliverance will come to me

A sidewalk drenched with bowels
Another sign of the night’s excess
It’s time to throw in the towel
And reflect on what it all meant
Cooling down the long road home
Joyous laughter fills the air
A girl embraces her lover
While the loner sits on the bench 

The night bus comes to the rescue
The party’s almost done
Water splashes beneath the tires
And a swirly feeling keeps rising up
Everyone seeks common ground
A modern sense of fidelity 
A way to remain unscathed
From this world’s insanity

The Loner

And we are falling over the streets with lies creeping everywhere
No more disappointing features are there to be scared
Dreams fulfil mind and soul but people no longer dare

Whispering familiar words she infuses hope where there was despair
My mind wishes to believe in what is not really there
You and me together was nothing but a foolish attempt

A Foolish Attempt

I wonder how it will be when you see me again 
Will there be a reason for you to care? 
It may seem I came unprepared 
Please don't be afraid I could not bear 

How will you see me then?
I did the best I can 

I know you will be ready to overcome
But it may be you might need someone
I hope to be there everytime
And that you think of me as part of your life

How will you see me then?
I did the best I can

How will you see me then?
I did the best I can
I'm not a perfect man

For Matilde

There isn't really anywhere I call home
It's not an easy thing to grow old
I wander between the states looking for hope
Collecting familiar faces that come and go

And all the voices will soon become ghosts
Whispering their memories into the dark

Every new place brings the same story
Embracing the space in search of riches and glory
I wonder if it will take a lifetime of struggle
To find the warmth and the taste everyone speaks of

And all the voices will soon become ghosts
Whispering their memories into the dark

Like the calling of the West that drove the pilgrims of yore
I feel a restlessness that won't let me quit the road
I hope time will tame the inner demons of my soul
But the quest for freedom is a state that cannot be ignored

And all the voices will soon become ghosts
Whispering their memories into the dark

Ghosts

The future is gone!
The goal is all!
The rich and the poor!
Lie on the floor!
Seek and you’ll find!
The answer’s inside!
Abandon all hope!
Then you will cope!

That’s what they’ve all done
Listening to someone
Who said: “Jesus will come!”
“He will save everyone!”

We’re all the same!
Going insane!
Don’t look away!
Have it your way!
What is the cost?
All is lost!
We all want to live!
But not to give!

That’s what they’ve all done
Listening to someone
Who said: “Jesus will come!”
“He will save everyone!”

No more denial!
Face the trial!
Let them all shout!
There’s no way out!
We’ve heard it before!
Let’s crave for more!
More and more stuff!
It’s never enough!

That’s what they’ve all done
Listening to someone
Who said: “Jesus will come!”
“He will save everyone!”

Open - Intro

Je n’ai plus que son souvenir en tête
Je me sens fatigué et bête
Je regarde dans un miroir mon visage
Je me sens vieux à un jeune âge.

Cette dernière route est insensée
Pourquoi ne veux-tu pas être aimé(e)?
Dans un impossible on s’enlace
D’un bel amour qui a laissé sa trace

Oublie mon cœur
Ne regarde pas le visage qui pleure
La flamme renaitra 
Même si elle s’est perdue en toi

Dans un crayon ton nom
Me fulmine doré et beau
Comme ta peau au soleil
Ton sourire est mon réveil

Comme des feuilles qui volent au vent
J’ai peur de le perdre mais comment
Le garder c’est souffrir
Ahhh! Ton souvenir

Oublie mon cœur
Ne regarde pas le visage qui pleure
La flamme renaitra 
Même si elle s’est perdue en toi

Ahhh! Ton souvenir

Ton Souvenir

C’est la ruée des bons vivants
Cinquantenaires fringants
Qui essayent d’effacer le temps
En vivant comme il y a vingt ans
Ils sortent en semaine pour draguer
Connaissent tous le bars huppés
Partent en boite danser
Rentrent au petit matin lessivés


Mais pourquoi les gens sont en train de devenir cons ?
On dirait qu’il est interdit de devenir vieux
Est-ce une nouvelle quête d’immortalité ?
Ou tout juste l’essor de la futilité ?

Il y a ceux qui sont tendance
Les gens en raffolent et en lancent
Je ne sais pas comment les appeler
Hipster Bobo ou LGBT
Ils enchainent les soirées 
Sillonnent bistros et cafés
Toujours sans oublier
De twitter ou instagramer


Mais pourquoi les gens sont en train de devenir cons ?
Ils ne pensent plus qu’aux réseaux sociaux
Est-ce une nouvelle quête d’immortalité ?
Ou tout juste l’essor de la futilité ?

Puis il y a aussi les intellos
Ceux qui ne se prennent pas pour des cons
Qui citent Montaigne et Rousseau
Mais regardent Jean-Pierre Foucault 
Ils ont des théories élaborées
Pourquoi alors simplifier ?
Quant on peut faire compliqué
Comme ça tout le monde sera étonné 

Mais pourquoi les gens sont en train de devenir cons ?
On dirait qu’ils sont tous en manque d’affection 
Est-ce une nouvelle quête d’immortalité ?
Ou tout juste l’essor de la futilité ?

Restent les fachos de quartier
Racistes homophobes et frustrés
Ils passent la soirées à se souler 
Défendent leurs idées limitées
Ils content sur les résignés
Ceux qui se laissent aller
En espérant que ça s’améliora
Ils restent chez eux et croisent les bras 

Mais pourquoi les gens sont en train de devenir cons ?
Depuis quand la haine est-elle un solution ?
Est-ce une nouvelle quête d’immortalité ?
Ou tout juste l’essor de la futilité ?

Les Bons Vivants

Évanouis Dans La Nature

C’est comme ça que c’est parti
Une soirée entre amis
Voué à la recherche de mémoires infinies
Chaque fois c’est pareil comme une drogue qui réveille
Les boissons coulent à flots attisant l’éveil
Des pensées qui s’enlacent
Des amants qui s’embrassent
Profitant du moment avant que l’histoire leur échappe

Si je puis ainsi dire

Quel est ce visage
Qui te suit en toute âge
Apparaissant au miroir quand tu vois ton image
Arrivés à ce stade où la musique s’enflamme 
La vision devient floue 
Tout n’est que rigolade
Des regards qui se croisent
Des cœurs qui s’embrasent
Chaque moment est précieux si l’on veut venir à deux

Si je puis ainsi dire

Le flirt devient chose banal
Compétition entre mâles
Chacun sort le beau jeu mais ne pense qu’à sa queue
Des ébats écoutés
Une vessie encombrée
Chancelant à petits pas avant de se soulager
Une lumière confuse
Entrecoupé et diffuse
Avec des reflets de blanc
Qui t’attire vers le néant 

Si je puis ainsi dire

Si Je Puis Ainsi Dire

C’est samedi, elle est partie à la mer
Je m’ennuie, je ne sais plus quoi faire
C’est ainsi que l’on revient à la terre
Sans son bruit la maison me semble un désert

Chaque nuit elle me dévoile un mystère
Qui suffit à laisser planer l’amour dans l’air
Parce qu’elle me dit que je suis son repère 
Et aussi que tout cela est temporaire

Aujourd’hui je me lève comme un jour de fête
Parce qu’elle me dit elle est sur la route et je m’apprête 
A en finir avec ce sursis sur ma tête
On sera réunis et ce sera trop chouette

La Mer

I am thinking of you tonight
When we would stay looking at the sky
Under the moon and the starts would shine so bright
And you would hold me like it was the end of time

You said: "it's better to make it scarce"
Letting me wonder if you did care
But then you whispered that it was sublime
And you held me like it was the end of time
