He is lovely and handsome as can be Polite he is a well educated man He’s never been down Every Monday he goes to the gym He is in good shape but as time goes by He’s wondering why Isn’t it the same for everyone on this city, On this planet, in this world ? He says « everybody should follow me And if they don’t, they don’t deserve to be happy » On the Tuesdays he goes to his mother’s There is no one home and she feels alone Since father is gone but he does not think about it Does not think at all He’s got a job, a new television set, He payed all his debts, so why Isn’t it the same for everyone on this city, On this planet, in this world ? He says « everybody should follow me And if they don’t, they don’t deserve to be happy » He’s a well educated man, he’s a father, he’s a worker But he still hasn’t found the deep meaning of his life And that’s why he is so sad, because he thought he’d reached it So why isn’t it the same for everyone on this city, On this planet, in this world ? He says « everybody should follow me And if they don’t, they don’t deserve to be happy »

When I came home I searched for you the other day After looking everywhere I know you had gone away But I don’t panic I know you’re not so far You’re just hiding somewhere or underneath a jar Oh I love, I love, I love you, I still Still want you by my side I love, I love you, I still Still need you just behind me I just wanna know for real If you’re hiding from me ‘Cause I love, I love you, I still Still need you close to me I miss your darkness and sympathy I love the way you’d take Everything you’d see And now each time that I look behind I don’t see nothing except The bliding light of the sun Oh I love, I love, I love you, I still Still want you by my side I love, I love you, I still Still need you just behind me I just wanna know for real If you’re hiding from me ‘Cause I love, I love you, I still Still need you close to me You were my shadow and I was your man How can we live without each other ? Now I believe that you found somebody else To regain a proper shape Oh I love, I love, I love you, I still Still want you by my side I love, I love, I love you, I still Still need you just behind me I just wanna know for real If you’re hiding from me ‘Cause I love, I love you, I still Still need you close to me Oh I love, I love, I love you, I still Still want you by my side I love, I love you, I still Still need you just behind me I just wanna know for real If you’re hiding from me ‘Cause I love, I love you, I still Yeah Oh I love, I love, I love you, I still Still want you by my side I love, I love you, I still Still need you just behind me I just wanna know for real If you’re hiding from me ‘Cause I love, I love you, I still

Lazy Larry 04:12
Larry is sitting on the beach The sun is burning his skin He needs the solar cream But he can’t reach it without moving He says « i’m going to bake » But he sees that the sea’s too far So he decides to wait for the rising tide And then he finally comes home Red like a lobster and dehydrated It’s lazy larry Larry is his kitchen, totally starving He wants to cook some rice But there are too many dirty dishes He doesn’t want to clean a pan to boil some water So he puts the rice with water in a box In the microwave Half an hour later he finally eats But it’s not as brillant as he could expect It’s lazy larry Oh larry you are so lazy Why don’t you get going Already ?

He is a well educated man

Well I just woke up and tomorrow it’s Christmas day I’ve got to order some food, they won’t do it anyway I run to the store, everything’s going away : « Is there some turkey left ? » « No, sorry you should have come way earlier ! ‘Cause there is nothing I can do by the hour You should have been organized If I may advise » It’s just another Christmas day Nothing to worry about, it’s always the same The same faces you don’t want to see The old uncles, the mean aunties that you hate The little nephews all over the place The useful gifts you receive And you’re smiling, pretending your so glad Oh I just need love tonight Oh I just need love all the time I’m sick and i’m tired of this life I can’t control myself when I’m down Oh yes I’m down

Up on the hill he’s hiding the horses That he just stole from your ranch Everyone knows your a man of pride and honour You must catch him yourself But how could you find bill ? He’s the best bandit boy around Your horse’s colt will Be dead before you shoot him down With three of your men you’re out in the wild Danger is everywhere The snakes, the spiders, the indians, the gangsters, There’s not enough bullets for that But how could you find bill ? He’s the best bandit boy around And if you ever find him He – the first – will shoot you down A week has passed and you don’t see the end Of your ambitious adventure The boys are tired , they are starving to death And so you scream out loud : « How could I find bill ? He’s the best bloody bandit around Up on the high hills For a few horses I won’t get shot down »

« A man’s going to tell you a story about a little girl he knew She was young and pretty but nobody knew what she liked Or what she thought She was lost, and alone » But one day she came to Highschool And discovered a group of cool guys And she decided to be part of them So she took the same drugs to become Cooler than them. She’s got the devil in her eyes.

Standing in front of the sun Waiting with my feet in the sand I’m looking for the one I love I’m looking around and i’m looking above I know there is no hope No living soul I’m gonna drown in this ocean of sand All alone No more water in my body Soon I will come back to dust I might find something that worth it But I’ll never get used to it I know there is no hope No living soul I’m gonna drown in this ocean of sand All alone

Gambling 02:52
Mr Johnson’s going up he’s going down He has got a dog, he has got a car But sometimes he sleeps on the ground He’s living his life day by day He’s loosing his wife a little more everyday ‘Cause he spends his nights gambling All around Playing all his money loosing is mind There’s no one on earth who could convince him to quit When the gambling fever has taken his spirit Working all day gambling all night and that’s all Johnson doesn’t mind to act like an asshole The only thougth that is running through his brain Is to get the winning card, and put it on the table ‘Cause he spends his nights gambling All around Playing all his money loosing is mind There’s no one on earth who could convince him to quit When the gambling fever has taken his spirit.

Well I woke up this morning Ran to the window Stared at the water Something was going on I knew today was the day Couldn’t explain why but somehow I felt it Then I went to my son’s I said « Get out of bed I hope that you’re ready To fish some mermaids » And we jumped on our boat In the middle of the lake we started to wait After waiting all day long We caught a fish so strong He nearly sank our boat Now let the fight begin It’s gonna be so hard I said « son you must save your strenght ‘till the fish is yours » Now we can see is back This catfish is so huge I can’t believe my eyes I’m really turning mad Even in my fanciest dreams I never ever hoped To witness such a thing Now the beast has almost given up But I still think that we’re living in a dream We’re so excited Jumping everywhere But we still need to lift that fish Oh I’m so proud of my son He caught it on his own Now we can go back home

Late at night you can guess our shadows in the dark But by the time you realize it we already surround you A red moonlight is brightening our guns and knives And when we quietly start working You know you won’t survive ‘cause You wont ever feel fine When the boys are back in town Just in case you’d cross our way There’s no chance to see the next day Don’t even try to fight ‘Cause if you do you’re gonna die We know how to make it quick So you’d better not resist When the daylight’s coming at last we are delighted And we never feel ashamed of being bloody handed As soon as we can we’ll be back Back to play with your fears and your lives So this is why I’m saying You wont ever feel fine When the boys are back in town Just in case you’d cross our way There’s no chance to see the next day Don’t even try to fight ‘Cause if you do you’re gonna die We know how to make it quick So you’d better not resist You wont ever feel fine When the boys are back in town Just in case you’d cross our way There’s no chance to see the next day Don’t even try to fight ‘Cause if you do you’re gonna die We know how to make it quick So you’d better not resist You gonna die

She’s walking straight she will never turn back ‘Cause after so much pain out there She won’t go back for more The rain is falling down and the sky is grey It’s not what we could call a lovely day The night is coming, the wind is blowing Oh you should have thought about all this Before you came to me Saying that you behaved so awfully wrong But what is done cannot be changed, cannot be turned What do you want me to say She’s walking, she’s running away And now this girl who was in love with you Will start her life again And you what are you gonna do now that your all alone You should begin right know To search for some something knew Instead of letting you die Stand up and be strong know And please don’t repeat the mistakes of the past Oh why do you fuck up everything I’m the little voice inside your head I know exactly who you are If I’m so tuff it’s for your own good, your own wealth I’m just trying to help you out But I have the feeling that it’s not working Oh you know I feel sorry for you Maybe because you are me But you got what you deserved This schizophrenia won’t help us out We must work together on that The best way we’ll find And now this girl who was in love with you Will start her life again And you what are you gonna do now that your all alone You should begin right know To search for some something knew Instead of letting you die Stand up and be strong know And please don’t repeat the mistakes of the past You’re so sad and she must be to She learned to be careful and you learned something about you She will think twice before she trust someone knew You’ll be happy when you’ll undertand it too Oh she will never come back ‘Cause after so much pain out there She won’t go back for more The rain is faling down and the sky is grey It’s not what we could call a lovely day She’s walking, she’s running away And now this girl who was in love with you Will start her life again And you what are you gonna do now that your all alone You should begin right know To search for some something knew Instead of letting you die Stand up and be strong know And please don’t repeat the mistakes of the past You should begin right know To search for some something knew Instead of letting you die Stand up and be strong know And please don’t repeat the mistakes of the past You should begin right know To search for some something knew Instead of letting you die Stand up and be strong know And please don’t repeat the mistakes of the past
