Lyrics:
-------------
[Verse 1 @ 00:24]:
Lady!
I’ve always been there when you needed me.
And now you’re acting like you don’t want me around
‘cause you say you might go crazy.

We’re no longer friends, like the way we used to be…
But you cannot possibly deny the feeling.

[Chorus 1 @ 01:00]:
that we fell in love in silence // Silently.
Yeah we fell in love in silence // Silent love.
Oh, we fell in love in silence // Silently.
Yeah we fell in love in silence // Silent love.

But you are... // Silent love
But you are a married woman!

Yes, you are a married woman…
I should have known, I should have known better
How could I’ve not seen it right away?

[Verse 2 @ 01:56]:
Now when you meet me,
You say you love me but you’re hiding it
You defer the truth but your feelings won’t fade away.
Soon, you’re gonna have to face it… and I just don’t get it

What are you running from? There’s nothing to be ashamed of.
We didn’t mean to do it! And let me tell you: Had I known
That you were a married woman, it may have not changed a thing
Anyway now it’s too late…

[Chorus 2 @ 02:45]:
‘cause we fell in love in silence // Silently.
Yeah we fell in love in silence // Silent love.
Yeah we fell in love in silence // Silently.
Oh, we fell in love in silence // Silent love.

[Break + Outro @ 03:10 ]:
But you are…. // Silent Love
Mh mh mh mh mh hm hm hmm // Silent Love
oh, yeah you are … // Silent Love
oh, I should have seen it coming! Yeah… I should have … 
… I should have known, I should have know… // Silent Love
That you were a hmm hhmm mhhh , that you were a married  mhhh… oh yeah // Silent Love
… I should have known, I should have known better // Silent Love

I should have seen right away that you were a married woman.

Lyrics :
---------------
[Intro @ 00:11]:
You wanna make God laugh, make plans.
‘cause when you say “right”, he’ll say “left”.
You wanna make God laugh, make plans.
‘cause when you say “Goodbye”, he’ll say “Hello”.

[Verse 1 @ 00:34]:
I never thought that love could be such a mess
My heart has turned into a maze.
I was the kind of guy to tell the naked cherubic:
“Son of Venus, save your arrows” …  ‘cause I was like:

One	- 	I never thought I’d find the one.
Two	-	Not even sure I wanted to.
Three -	I thought I wanted to be free, but you can’t call it free, no, no
Four	-	The freedom I was fighting for
Five	-	was like a bee without a hive
Six	-	and now my broken heart, well it needs a fix, oh ‘cause…

[Chorus 1 @ 01:18]
Well it starts like this: 			  // well it goes
with a feeling oh so pure		 // and it goes
And if I get to feel it,			// well it goes
Then you might feel it too,	       // and it goes
But when you’re gone		      // well it goes
Well it turns into some kind of blues	// and it goes
There’s nothing that compares to it,
It’s solar blue.

[Verse 2 @ 02:12]:
I never thought that love could be so tricky, 
I never thought it would be so complicated, 
And I wanna stop us from being separated
You know all I want is us to be together … ‘cause I feel like:

One	- 	I may have finally found the one.
Two	-	The one for me, well, it’s you
Three -	If I love you and you love me then why couldn’t it be?
Four	-	Understand what you’re fighting for
Five	-	Bee’s got to strive to leave the hive
Six	-	and now our broken love, well it needs a fix, oh ‘cause…

[Chorus 2 @ 02:56 like Chorus 1]

[Break @ 03:38]:
“Now, fellas … (yeah!) Are you ready to claps your hands? (yeah!) Now lemme show you the pattern first (alright !)
‘Cause, you know, well this one’s a bit special … it goes like this:
one AND TWO and three AND … yeah lemme show you one mo’time
one AND TWO and three AND … alright, your turn now

one AND TWO and three AND … alright, alright let’s do it again
one AND TWO and three AND … right on, let the choir kick in now: 

[Outro @ 04:10]:
Long distance relationship … it’s a (x8)
Long distance, long distance … and I don’t want anyone else
Long distance, long distance … my heart is locked in a suitcase
Long distance, long distance … and I feel like I wanna … I’m gonna love, I’m gonna love you.

Lyrics :
**********
INTRO.
(They're not your thoughts, get out of this cage.
They're not your thoughts, get off the stage)

They're not your thoughts, get out of this cage.
Comes the time to use what nature gave.
Is your mind free? ... or you're THAT kind of slave?
Don't let 'em make you ... they wanna make you.

Just listen to how it feels. Listen to how it feels.
Separate the fake from the real.

VERSE1.
To everybody who's been told: "this is the road
to a place in the sun and a pot of gold".
(you might wanna rethink that 'cause)
Some people talking, don't want you to listen to your soul
They wanna make you fit the mold and pursue someone else's goal.
(you can feel it's not your own)
Just listen to how it feels. Listen to how it feels
and separate the fake from the real.

CHORUS1.
They're all around, all possibilities
Or second chances for those who make'em real
Wake up, quit screening your dreams
Don't waste a second to free your mind
Won't be no second chances for those who live in a lie

VERSE2.
Misery likes company, well it certainly needs your energy
Now take back control of your thoughts and wonder whose your fears really are.

They keep calling you ... Kicking you when you're down,
Feeding you with their lies, what goes around well it comes around. 
(and it's definitely coming around)

Just listen to how it feels. Listen to how it feels
And separate the fake from the real.

CHORUS2.
They're all around, all possibilities
Or second chances for those who make'em real
Wake up, live it up, feel your dreams
Don't waste a second to free your mind
Won't be no second chances for those who live in a lie

OUTRO.
They wanna make us THAT kind of slave
Don't let they make you that kind of slave
They wanna make you THAT kind of slave
Don't let 'em make you... they wanna make you.

GUITAR SOLO.

Lyrics:
---------
[Verse 1 @ 00:28]
It’s been a while since you left me, woh-oh-oh-oh
You said you needed time to sort things out. You may come back…
You see, I’ll never find a woman just like you.
That’s why I’m better off waiting.
Yeah, guess I’ll be waiting…

[Chorus 1 @ 00:56]
…for you to holla at me, girl.
You know that, you’re gonna holla at me, girl.
Come on, now, just holla at me, girl.
You know that I am waiting.


[Verse 2 @ 01:36]
And although we don’t have much time, it is our best ally
‘cause time is what you need to untie and realize that you can rely on me
And I can’t seem to forget you, I want nobody but you
And time is what I need too…
…to get ready…


[Chorus 2 @ 02:05]
…for you, when you holla at me, girl
For when you gonna holla at me, girl
When you holla at me, girl!
You know that I’ll be waiting … 

…for you to come back to me!

[Final @ 02:35]
(Yes I’ll be waiting for you)
Until you holla at me, girl.
Until you holla at me!
Come on and holla at me, girl!
‘cause you know, you know, you know, yeah
That I am waiting for you
Yes I am waiting for you
And I am waiting for you
Yes, I am waiting…
...for you!

Lyrics:
Have you ever been to a place where space and time are boundless
and your sweetest dreams all come true ?
This is how it feels in your arms, staring at your emerald eyes
and the very next minute all I know is that I'm gonna fly away.

Everything is bright, every second shines, 
the gentle waving of your sunny hair caresses your neck; oh, I'm in love!

Everything is cream, oh my favorite thing is to 
breathe and kiss your chocolate skin when you ask me to stay for the night
oh, you gimme me this feeling!

You, you give me this feeling
My head's up in the clouds of your vanilla sky
You carry me away from my troubled days
you just carried me away, carried me away, please carry me away, again.

Everything is bright, every second shines, 
the gentle waving of your sunny hair caresses your neck; oh, I'm in love!

Everything is cream, oh my favorite thing is to 
breathe and kiss your chocolate skin when you ask me to stay for the night
oh, you gimme me this feeling!

You, you give me this feeling
My head's up in the clouds of your vanilla sky
You carry me away from my troubled days
you just carried me away, carried me away, please carry me again.

and I know it ain't over, nah!
'cause I've got this feeling, for sure, it ain't nothing but pure and it drives me wild.

You, you give me this feeling
My head's up in the clouds of your vanilla sky
You carry me away from my troubled days
you just carried me away, carried me away, please carry me again.

Have you ever been to this place?

Lyrics:
This ain’t a love song ... no it ain’t 

When I’ve cried, yes I’ve cried, just about every little tear I had,
And I’ve tried, yes I’ve tried, to spread the word around me,
I get home, I get home and I grab my guitar and play
And write this song I hope the lucky ones may hear
What I’ve heard today, it is sad
The things we do to (our) Mother Nature
And our brothers, that are starving, yeah
I think we need a little change

Somebody say something, and do it ! (x3)
Somebody say something...

Well I’ve heard that our countries, had a lot of wealth, and I’ve seen them.
And I know there’s a good will in everyone of us, still I can’t help thinking of
Our brothers and Mother, here and there, ‘cause they are just left aside
I think we need a little change.

Somebody say something, and do it ! (x4)
Somebody say something, and do it !
Somebody say something, and do it !
Somebody say something, and do it !

We, the lucky ones we gotta do something, (x4)

Somebody say something, and do it !

We the lucky ones we’ve gotta do something !
Somebody say something, and do it !
(x3)

We the lucky ones we’ve gotta do something ! (x3)

Lyrics: 
Funny the fact that when I met you, love was such an easy thing and 
all we had to do was to kiss and fly.
Ohh but now I’ve got to get away from our plane ‘cause we’re squatting some stall.

Chorus:
This is the fun we wanted 
This is a funny way our love has gone
This is the fun we wanted 
Look at the funny way our love has gone now

This is the fun. (the fun… we want)
This is the fun. (our love… has gone)


The thrill is gone, the first illusions merely vanished in the sun.
That kind of flirt was bound to die with summer.
We just had nowhere to go. And it felt good for a while to be drifting in those blind alleys.

(Chorus)

You know love is like a bee that stings you when you sleep and fly.
Now celebrate all the good times we had when we where riding shooting stars.
But honey, now, you gotta let it all go because…
... this is the fun we wanted 

This is a funny way our love has gone
This is the fun we wanted 
Look at the funny way our love has gone now

(Chorus) 
+
This is the funny way our love has gone 
This is the funny way. This is a funny way. 

Look at the funny thing: our love is gone, now. Baby, just look out ‘cause our love... our love... has gone !

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
It's been about a thousand years since I haven't had a good time here
And it seems like it's getting real hard to have a little fun today
But it feels good sometimes, just to let yourself go out of your mind
and please don't come and tell me about the consequences mister, cause I know them, too well

(Chorus)-----------
yes I know too well that the sun can turn to rain
yes I know too well that's why I'm gonna celebrate every single day
-----------

(Verse 2)
God knows I had my share of troubles, hours of loneliness I couldn't handle...
well you know the story, I ain't telling you, I'm pretty sure there's something that brings you down sometimes.
But everything was alright since I had that good old Buddy Guy
No job, no money, no home, I could have a blues singer at that time, singin' hard times.

(Chorus)

(Break)
That’s what I’m gonna do. I’m going to celebrate. That’s what I’m gonna do. 
Now let’s celebrate this. Right now.

We’re having a good time here and I know what you're thinking...
But if you're facing problems now that you could not avoid somehow 

you sure want to skip the bad part but you gotta understand that everything is linked, everything. It means you can't have the good times without the bad times, baby, everything is one.

(Chorus)

(Outro)
That’s what I’m gonna do. I’m going to celebrate
That’s what I’m gonna do. (scat)

Lyrics:
There are many different ways. Don't you wonder where to go?
I was wandering on them when I met that guy. He said:

"I know what you're thinking of, 'cause I know where you're coming from
and despite what you're certain of, here's something you should know:

You're so afraid of going wrong that you forget to come along, 
I have a secret, boy, there is no path, no path your feet can't draw.
So let (the) things go by themselves and focus on your only care: 
to keep on moving straight ahead."

I just came to say: I'm thankful for these few tips
All these words you’ve said, oh they keep me rollin’ and I don't know where I’m going but I

Keep on moving forward. That's how all my old dreads are gone
Yes I'm always moving straight ahead and I will not stop !

{no I won't stop, now that my ol’dreads are gone}

Later that day, holy day, I was drifting on the same way
I met him again, the wiseman said he had something else to say. He said: 

"Sometimes reflection ain't the best solution for decisions, use your intuition.
You only focus on your destination when you could use the situation." 

And I know that he's right, that's why I'm telling ya. I'm telling ya.

I just came to say: I'm thankful for these few tips
No more struggle with myself, now I’m always sailing
and I don’t know what’s comin’up but I

Keep on moving forward. That's how all my old dreads are gone
Yes I'm always going straight ahead and I will not stop, ‘till my job is done
No I will not stop, ‘till my job is done. (x3)

I know that he's right, that's why... I know that he's right...
I know that he's right, that's why I'm telling ya... I'm telling ya.

I just came to say: I'm thankful for these few tips
All these words you’ve said, oh they keep me rollin’
and I don't know where I’m going but I


Keep on moving forward. That's how all my old dreads are gone
Yes I'm always going straight ahead and I will not stop, ‘till my job is done
No I will not stop, ‘till my job is done. (x7)

Lyrics:
She says no word but she’s having the sensation 
The world no longer spins

Perpetually looking for perfection,
Though the myths that she knew would all sadly end

Chorus :
she said
-	'How I wish I had a little more time to give... to you.'
And her self said:
-	'How I wish I had a little more time to live, but you never gave myself the time to breathe or to cease the day'
-	'Well that’s because I barely can tell what you really want, or what you really need. You got to understand: no good can come of us if you don’t open to me'

Alone at last, stalling in confusion
what she used to believe in is falling apart

Sweet memories are feeding the temptation 
to regress, cause despair can make the dust shine

Chorus

Last Chorus:
'How I wish I had a little more time to get to know you '
'How I wish I had a little more time to say those things to you:'
'you never give yourself the time to cry, have you ever tried? Really think you should try to to lie on the cold ground to shout out all about what you really want and what you really need. You got to understand: no good can come of it if you don’t open to me'.

No good ... no good ... no good ... (x times) can come out of it 
If you don’t open to ... me

No good ... would ever happen to.... could never happen to.... me.

Lyrics:
I cannot sleep tonite
I 've closed my eyes but haven't shut my ears
A bell is ringing wild
Could it be fate calling for the last scene ?

I cannot sleep tonight, I think it's on.

The sparkling city lights 
might help to make my mind.
Whispers of now, 
could soon turn to sighs.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * CHORUS
Mates, grins, backstabs, I can deal with that ...
Choices, sins, cold fights, I can handle that...
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

but I cannot sleep tonight

To shut my ears won't chase away the fears
My heart is beating wild
Feels like fate is calling for the last cheers
What have I become growing old ?

The mocking city lights, 
they try to shade my mind.
Whispers at a time, 
have turned to sighs now.


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * CHORUS
Shame, grins, backstabs, I can deal with that ... 
Choices, sins, sacrifice, I can handle that...

but when issues remain out of sight
love turns out bad.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BRIDGE
there must be something, some way out of it
there must be something, some way out of here


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * FINAL CHORUS
Shame, grins, backstabs, I can deal with that ... 
Choices, sins, sacrifices, I can handle that...

Fate ain't a lie, it just doesn't compromise.
Shai, talk to me, talk to me, just don't aim, shoot, run and hide.
This question twists my mind. Where the fuck am I ?

Ralph Katra - "Try to stay alive" - (14sec. sample)

A song written by Thibault Roques.
Was originally a pretty smooth, voice/acoustic guitar version and was 2min30sec long.  Thibault asked me to write a rock version of it and to make it longer. 
It illustrates my job as an arranger/co-composer.
