Sediment

Je suis le président		
Le plus grand des grands pachas	
Venez bébés, mamans, papas
Je suis le président

Come on everybody to my palace tonight
We’re going to party like it’s going out of fashion
It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be wild
We’ve got a rock’n’roll star singing all the latest songs

La la la la lalalala
La la la la lalalala
La la la la lalalala
La lala, la lala

Tout tourne autour de moi	
Une envie, je claque des doigts
Je suis le président	
Je berce le monde dans mes bras

Come hang with the pres, give yourself a boost
The multitudes are cheering from the trees and the roofs
We’ve got parlour maids, infinity pools                     
So let’s lie right back and dream dream dream dream

La la la la lalalala
La la la la lalalala
La la la la lalalala
La lala, la lala

Ta maladie je guérirai		
Ta faiblesse je casserai
A genoux, suivez-moi	
Je suis le président

Je Suis Le Président

As I walk down this road
I don’t know where the years have gone 
I can’t reach you through the crowd
I need you right by my side tonight

Call me a doctor if you think you care
Drag me to your bed and lay me there
Dance around the room to break the spell
Because I’m alone by your side
So alone by your side 
Alone by your side
So alone by your side

Summertime has sung its song
Winter’s call chills my bones 
With icy lips & eyes of stone
Won’t you tell me why the fire burns 
So low so low so low

Call me a doctor if you think you care
Drag me to your bed and lay me there
Dance around the room to break the spell
Because I’m alone by your side
So alone by your side 
Alone by your side
So alone by your side

Slipping further - going under 
Slipping further - going under
Slipping further - going under 
Slipping further - going under

A troubled mind and a haunted soul
In my cave I weep and moan
Since you left nothing’s felt quite right
And I know you ain’t ever coming back
No more no more no more

Call me a doctor if you think you care
Drag me to your bed and lay me there
Dance around the room to break the spell
Because I’m alone by your side
So alone by your side 
Alone by your side
So alone by your side

Alone By Your Side

World is crazy, heating up
So many people, nobody listening
Nobody listening
World is crazy, heating up
So many people, nobody listening

Broken hearted, need a brand new start

Gonna find myself a cool spot (hanging out)
Gonna find myself a cool spot (with my friends)
Gonna find myself a cool spot (no more trouble)
Gonna find myself a cool spot (in my mind)

This road we travel seldom alone
Us shattered souls carrying a heavy load
Beneath the bridges, across the sea
Everybody’s looking for a piece of destiny

Hey here comes my station and I’m stepping off

Gonna find myself a cool spot (hanging out)
Gonna find myself a cool spot (with my friends)
Gonna find myself a cool spot (no more trouble)
Gonna find myself a cool spot (in my mind)

Storm the palace, break down the gates
There's a million ways for you to escape

Everything is hidden, nothing is known
Invisible shackles surround you in your comfort zone
On the edge of abyss, on the edge of abyss
On the edge of abyss, on the edge of abyss

This world is fucking crazy, let’s all get out of here

Gonna find ourselves a cool spot (hanging out)
Gonna find ourselves a cool spot (with our friends)
Gonna find ourselves a cool spot (no more trouble)
Gonna find ourselves a cool spot (in our minds)

Gonna find ourselves a cool spot baby come bring your friends
Don’t give in to fear let’s not play that game
We can make it right if we just forget the
Money money money and the guns

Cool Spot

Come lay your tired head down on my shoulder
For I do know that feeling of hurt
I’ve got no wings left to speak of
And I guess that is why they call me a jerk 
And you know it

Deep in the forest you saw what I done
Brought you a present and left you undone
I’m sick of living inside my head
Chasing shadows I can’t strike dead
Just looking for a little peace love and understanding
Are you the one who’s going to bring them into being

Deep in the forest you saw what I done
Brought you a present that left you undone
I’m sick of living inside my head
Chasing shadows I can’t strike dead
Just looking for a little peace love and understanding
Are you the one who’s going to bring them into being
Bring them into being

And You Know It

Iggy Pop Special

Going down highway one
Get ourselves a little fun
Turned onto highway two
I saved this one just for you
Speeding down number three
And I ain’t talking about no gasoline
No gasoline - no gasoline - no gasoline

Now we’re onto highway four
With a little luck we’ll do it some more
When fear kicks in on highway five
You know we’ll make it one way, dead or alive
By the time we get onto number six
We’ll do it once more just for kicks
Just for kicks - just for kicks - just for kicks

Let’s go rushing through the hot night
Speeding down the fast lane
Burning up the tarmac 
With fuel in our veins 
Yeah yeah yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Monkeys flying all over seven
Jiving us that we’re gonna get to heaven
Bumping and grinding on number eight
I’m trying hard but I can’t wait
Coming on strong on highway nine
Keep it that way it’ll be just fine
It’ll be just fine - it’ll be just fine - it’ll be just fine

Gonna hit the end, gonna hit the end
Gonna hit the end, gonna hit the end on highway ten

Gonna hit the end, gonna hit the end
Gonna hit the end with my best friend.
The end.

Highway 7

For all new music related to The Creature Comfort check out the solo music from our founder and frontman @benlejeune 

"Should be held in the same esteem as Stone Roses and Oasis" - LOUDER THAN WAR

"Brilliant energy and great, interesting songs" - BADLY DRAWN BOY

The Creature Comfort from Manchester play impassioned music for troubled times, mixing alternative rock with post-punk energy and an epic dimension. Blending might and melody, their sonic onslaught powers a visceral soundtrack for an uncertain future.

They have received airplay on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio London, Radio X and Amazing Radio, headlined Head For The Hills Festival, and caught the attention of Iggy Pop, Badly Drawn Boy and The Blinders amongst others.

The band was formed by singer Ben Le Jeune after his arrival in Manchester from Belgium in 1987, and they soon built up a cult following, sharing stage with Mudhoney, Gun Club & Stereolab amongst others and generating major label frenzy. A long hiatus ended in 2013 with a new line-up, a critically acclaimed self-titled album and regular live appearances. 

In 2021 the album "Everything Is Hidden" was released, featuring the singles "Alone By Your Side" ('one of the catchiest songs of the year' according to Sounds Good), "Life's A Crime", "What We Want (Power Corruption & Lies)" and "Highway 7".

A new album due out in Spring 2025 has been recorded with producer Tim Thomas (One Direction, The Fall, Paul Heaton). A series of singles leading up to this date will be released throughout 2024 along with live dates to be announced.

The Creature Comfort are Ben Le Jeune on vocals, Steve Jones and Paul Hesketh on guitars, Martyn Henderson on keys, Brad Ingham on bass and Will Jaquet on drums.
