FLOWER CHILD

Close your eyes, open your hand
Put that flower in your hair
Let’s wipe out misery and careless minds
I’m taking you to a free land

We’ll be at peace in Zion
Keep away from Babylon
Preach love as our religion
Grow grass and touch the sun

I was born a flower child
On a dark blue star of ice
I am reaching for delights,

And you will be with me,
Making love,
Hugging trees,
Dancing high on a moonbeam…

Take my hand and follow me
Put some colour in your head
Let’s meet the world and hear what he has to say
Turn on, tune in, drop out and save it

We’ll draw circles in Zion
And dance around some firelights
We’ll sing Bob, Janis and Simon
Live naked and touch the sun

IMMORAL

Moi des fois j’regarde les gens
Et je me demande : Qu’est ce qui les rend
Végétal ou animal

(Me) sometimes I look at people
And I wonder: what makes them
Vegetal or animal 

Je cherche à trouver comment,
Ce qui fait qu’on est excitant
Un vrai mâle sidéral

I’m looking to find how
What makes oneself exciting
A real male sidereal 

Amour toujours,
Argent souvent,
Mais finalement
Qu’est ce qu’on fait quand on est sans ?

Love always,
Money often,
But finally
What do we do when we don’t have any (of these)?

Moi souvent je reste dedans
Horizontal et faignant
Minimal, pas très normal

(Me) Often I stay inside
Horizontal and lazy
Minimal, not very normal

Je fais des rêves sur écran
Des nymphettes en arrière plan
Hormonal, tellement immoral

I have dreams on a screen
Nymphets in the background
Hormonal, so immoral

Amour toujours
Argent souvent
Mais finalement
Qu’est ce qu’on en fait ? 

Love always,
Money often,
But finally
What do we do with it?

Est-ce qu’un beau jour,
Au fil du temps
On oubliera
Ce que l’on n’a pas ?

Will we, one fine day,
As time goes by
Forget
What we don’t have?

Trouverons nous,
Le sens du pourquoi,
Un amusement doux…
Un délice immoral

Will we find,
The meaning of the why,
A sweet amusement…
An immoral delight 

GYPSY EYES

When I was young I had no time
I spent my days free of all ties
I Kissed away my youth, my prime
Expecting a someone to walk by      

And it feels, like I’m missing it all…

Whatever I feel, wherever I go
So many girls, I can’t decide
Whatever I feel, however I try
So little time, must I decide?

She’s, there, Right by me
Dancing for me
so beautiful…
Then I wake up, aaaah…

When we first met, we fooled around
Dinner, champagne, long playful nights
Overwhelmed by what I’d found
Still taking in the views in sight

But now I ask, do I want her at all?
When the world shines in my Gypsy eyes

Whatever I feel, wherever I go
So many girls, I can’t decide
Whatever I feel, however I try
So little time, must I decide?

Whatever I feel, wherever I go
So many girls, I can’t decide…
Eye Candy world
Where Gypsy eyes… shine

CLAIRE-OBSCURE (A rainy night in Paris)

Rambling down the night lost in time
Cold rain pouring down obsessive thoughts
Shadows turn and laugh at the unsettled soul

Deep inside a lack of stirring feel
Burdened by the weight of debts and fears
Winds whisper and laugh at the unsettled soul

Running nowhere
Shuffling bare feet
Stark raving mad
Blind drunk on…

Hope, when I hear your voice
And I see your face, you smile at me
In my fanciful longing

Sleepwalking through shapes claire-obscure
Drifting down the ways of instilled roots
Shadows turn laugh at the unsettled soul

Tangerine reflects on shaded paves
Ballerina lights in hustling haze
Winds whisper and laugh at the unsettled soul

Claire-Obscure (A rainy night in Paris)

FOR YOU AND ME

So tell me darling how would it be
To be sailing through the sky
A thousand dodos by your side,
Learning to fly.

Will you be swooping through the white sea,
Clouds of candy, Wonderland
Wisps of cotton kiss your skin
And hold your hand.

You won’t ever be weary,
(No need for your protein pills)
You won’t ever be lonely
(No need for special social skills)
You won’t ever be needy
(To get your kicks and splendid thrills)

I really like your shoes: Are they Jimmy Choos?

So tell me my friend how would it be
To be walking on a sun,
A million stars hang around
Waiting to be one.

Will you be surfing milky ways,
ride silver spaceships, UFOs
Ask answers to the questions
Of the one who knows

You won’t ever be weary,
(No need for your protein pills)
You won’t ever be lonely
(No need for special social skills)
You won’t ever be needy
(To get your kicks and splendid thrills)
Could these lyrics be any harder, Is that Prada?

So tell me honey how would it be
To go swimming in the sand,
A hundred sharks around you
Working on their tan

Would you be happy dancing round,
a cactus, flowering desert rose,
So rid yourself of worries
And throw off  your clothes

You won’t ever be weary,
(No need for your protein pills)
You won’t ever be lonely
(No need for special social skills)
You won’t ever be needy
(To get your kicks and splendid thrills)

We just came back from Cubana, is that Dolce et Gabanna?

For of the moon, the sun, the stars
And of the trees, the birds, the grass
(It’s all been made up just for us)
For of the land, the sky, the sea
And of the cows, the snakes, the bees
(It’s all out there for you and me)
