Never been in love
( D. Laboubée )

I used to say love was just for fools
And love was a feeling I could do without
Now I gotta change my mind
I must be in love, it’s the very first time
 
Never been in love
Never been in love before
Never found the one I was lookin’ for
Never been in love before
Before I met you
.....I think I love you
 
What’s going on
What’s wrong with me
Got shivers down my spine
I’m down on my knees
I’ve never been so sad and blue
I love everything you say and do
 
Never been in love
Never been in love before
Never found the one I was lookin’ for
Never been in love before
Before I met you
.....I think I love you
 
You must be the one
You sure are the one
I’ve been waitin’ for
I’ve never been in love before
And I won’t laugh at lovers anymore

Never come back
( D. Laboubée - A. Massy-Perier / D. Laboubée )

l'm layin' in my bed, I just can't sleep at night
The room's so empty, and you're still on my mind
Thinkin' of the good things
Thinkin' of the good times
You're drivin' me insane
Girl, you're drivin' me mad
 
She left once
She left twice
She'll never come back
She'll never come back
If failed once, failed twice
So don't come back
Please don't come back no more
 
It seemed so funny when we parted
But now I realise
l've never felt so lonely, never felt so bad
Thinkin' of the good things
Thinkin' of the good times
You're drivin' me insane
Girl you're drivin' me mad
 
She left once
She left twice
She'll never come back
She'll never come back
It failed once, failed twice
So don't come back
Please don't come back no more
 
I feel so useless - all those tears l've cried
There were so many tears - there were so many lies
Thinkin' of the good things - thinkin' of the good times
We said "No hard feelings"
You did me so much harm
 
She left once
She left twice
She'll never come back
She'll never come back
It failed once, failed twice
So don't come back
Please don't come back no more

Never stop
(D. Laboubée)

I’ve got bad habits that I wanna Kick
I need somebody like you – just like me
I wanna live and love and never stop

You’re the one I’ve always been waitin’ for
You’ve got everything and more more more
We’re gonna run – run and never stop

Love me – say you love me
Say you’ll never stop
We’re gonna live and love
Love and never stop
We’ll never never stop

I need a love that’ real
A love that never stops
We’re gonna fly high and never fall
We’re gonna run – run and never stop

You look fine and we look just the same
You can be my friend ‘til the end
We’re gonna live and love and never stop

I need someone like you to save my life
So much to learn – too little time
We’re gonna run – run and never stop

Love me – say you love me
Say you’ll never stop
We’re gonna live and love
Love and never stop
No ! We’ll never never stop

I need a love that’ real
A love that never stops
We’re gonna fly high and never fall
We’re gonna run – run and never stop
We’re gonna run – run and never stop

No way
( D. Laboubée )

Spendin’ all my time by the record machine
I gotta find a way
I have another drink
And pain is fadin’ away
 
Hey look at me , mum
I’ve got a new haircut
I’ve been livin’ for today
But I don’t know where I’m goin’
And I just can’t see no way
 
I never cry
I never go to feelings
I do the best I can
I’ve almost found a brand new sound
But it’s always the same old song
 
Can’t see no way in
No way out
I gotta find it
Find out
( Tell me ) what did I do
To feel so loose
Ooh my soul !
 
Now listen, girl, listen to what I say
We’re all waitin’ for next year
I hope it will be OK
I hope we’ll see it together
 
I never cry – i never go to feelings
I just wanna survive
And I’ve almost found a brand new sound
What can I do if you say you don’t like it
Just because you’re too old
For you I can’t see no way at all !

Noboty but me

Noise therapy
( D. Laboubée )

I’ve heard the news today
Can’t believe what they said
It seems the world is goin’ mad
But I know what to do
To stop me feelin’ blue
I’ve found a cure
For the nineties blues
 
Don’t need no analyst
To tell me how I feel
Don’t need no doctor
To tell me what I need
I need noise
Real noise
Funky, dirty noise
That’s what I need
I need noise
 
I feel so bad today
My baby’s gone away
I’ve never felt so bad before
But I know what to do
To make me forget you
Just have to pick up a good guitar and play
 
Don’t need no analyst
To tell me how I feel
Don’t need no doctor
To tell me what I need
 
I need noise
Real noise
Funky, dirty noise
That’s what I need
I need noise

One way ticket

Our last goodbye
( D. Laboubée )

I know that story baby
I know love can be blind
Don’t be sorry
No, don’t be sorry
I don’t feel bad at all
 
Goodbye darling
Goodbye again
This time I won’t cry
Don’t worry please
We’ll meet again
It’s not our last goodbye
 
I know that story baby
It seems we’ve gone too far
Save all your love
Save all your kisses
Save it all for the next time
 
Goodbye darling
Goodbye again
This time I won’t cry
Don’t worry please
We’ll meet again
It’s not our last goodbye

Pah-pah-ooh-pah-ooh

Poison in my heart
( D. Laboubée )

Nothing can hurt me anymore
Once somebody put poison in my heart
The game is over my friend
And you’ll never win again
You’ll just have to find some other one
I feel much better today
All the pain is fadin’ away
 
You’ve killed me a 1 000 000 times
And it seems that I won’t die
All those plans and dreams are in the past
 
I can’t feel the pain today
Nothing can hurt me anyway
You didn’t kill me you just put
Poison in my heart
I’m still alive
With poison in my heart

Poisoned town
( D. Laboubée )

I’ve got a dirty job
But baby l've got style
l'm so tired
lm so screwed up
l'm gonna crack
Let's take our love, girl
And leave this poisoned town
 
We can't stay here pretty baby
Both feet on the ground
Girl we' re gonna leave this poisoned town
 
I got a right to talk
I got a right to move
If we want to stay together we must choose
Let's take our life
And leave this poisoned town
 
We can't stay here pretty baby
Both feet on the ground
Girl we're gonna leave this poisoned town
 
We can't stay here pretty baby
The city's burning down
Girl we're gonna leave this poisoned town
 
Make up your mind, girl
Keep back all your tears
We're gonna get away
We're gonna go - now
Make up your mind, girl
Before it gets too late
We're gonna get away
We're gonna go - now
 
Ain't got no job
I still get style
You made me go alone - I can't look back
I left our love
When I left this poisoned town

Professional liar
( D. Laboubée / L. Ciron )

 So you say you're in love
Like so many times before
So you say this love is real
I can't believe you even know what it means
 
Just a warning my friend
But I guess you don't care
I'm warning you
Don't tell me you don't know what you're gonna do
 
That's what some friends of mine would say
 
Hey - look out !
The girl's young
Don't tear her heart apart
Hey - look out !
If you're not sure
You'd better make up your mind
And think twice
Before you break another heart
 
You've done it before
I guess you'll do it some more
Take a look at yourself
You'd better make it sure before it's too late
 
Don't try to tell me lies
Like you did last time
Who do you think you are ?
Just a kind of professional liar
 
Hey - look out !
The girl's young
Don't tear her heart apart
Hey - look out !
If you're not sure
You'd better make up your mind
And think twice
Before you break another heart

Rock’ n roll lesson n° 1
( D. Laboubée  )

Before you start
Before it’s too late
There are a few things
I want you to know
My young friend
 
Do you want the real thing ?
Or just talk about it
You’d better be good
If you really wanna make it
 
Strap on a guitar
And learn how to play
It’s the same old chords
And it’s E  D  A
 
So you go ahead now
You can’t be wrong
It’s the same old story
Not the same old song
 
Do it for kicks, do it just for fun
That’s lesson number one
Remember to never sell your soul
And get ready ‘cause the world is waitin’
The world is waiting for you
 
So you say you wanna be a star
You’re gonna sweat
Or you won’t get far
Are you ready ?
‘Cause it’s time to go
Your life’s gonna be a non-stop show
 
Do it for kicks, do it just for fun
That’s lesson number one
Remember to never sell your soul
You’re gonna get high and never fall
 
Do it for kicks, do it just for fun
That’s lesson number one
Remember to never sell your soul
So get ready ‘cause the world is waitin’
The world is waiting for you

( D. Laboubée )

Ooooh  Sandy Sandy
 
Funny Sandy
My Sandy Sandy

Why do I feel so wild inside

What's behind your eyes starin' at me
Tell me how you feel
Don't put me down down down
 
I need so much and l'm scared of
Losin' you now
Sometimes l'd like to be the first to leave

Tell me what it means
l'm sure that someday you'll deceive me
Tell me how you feel
Don't put me down down down
Sandy Sandy

Lookin' right into your eyes
The answer is still untold

Satisfied
( D. Laboubée )

I don’t care about the press
And music magazines
I don’t like teachers
I never read fanzines
I wanna live on the road
I wanna die on stage
Just let me play my guitar
I do the best I can
 
Don’t slander my name
Don’t stab me in the back
Don’t tell me what’s good or bad
Let me do what I please
Let me do what I like
Let me up I’m satisfied
 
I got a girl she’s a princess
She’s my only one
She keeps me happy
She turns me on
She’s the one by my side
She’s the one I love
I like the way she loves me
I’ll never had enough
 
Don’t tell me what ‘s wrong
Don’t tell what’s right
Don’t tell me what’s good or bad
You know what I need
You know what I like
Come on girl, keep me satisfied
 
I ain’t rich but I always leave tips
Ain’t nothing but I sure get my kicks
I wanna live on the road
I wanna die on stage
Just let me play my guitar
I do the best I can
 
Don’t slander my name
Don’t stab me in the back
Don’t tell me what’s good or bad
Let me do what I please
Let me do what I like
Let me up I’m satisfied

Searchin’ for shakes
( D. Laboubée )

I live like a reptile
I stay in bed all day
I get up at 4
And I won’t ever change my ways
 
Stay up all night
Lookin’ for fun
I ain’t got a dime
But I sure know where to get some stuff
 
I’m just lookin’ for thrills
Enough is enough
But not for me
 
All my life I’ve been searchin’ for shakes
I always want more than I can take
Lookin’ for action
I wanna have fun
I’m searchin’ for shakes
And shakes are what I’m searchin’ for
 
All my friends
Are getting married
I like wedding parties
But they never invite me
 
All my friends
They all have children
I think I’ve got AIDS
And I’ain’t got no one
 
I’m just lookin’ for thrills
Too much is too much
But not for me
 
All my life I’ve been searchin’ for shakes
I always want more than I can take
Lookin’ for action
I wanna have fun
I’m searchin’ for shakes
And shakes are what I’m searchin’ for

Secret life

Secrets
( D. Laboubée )

There are some secrets l'm keepin'
So many things you'd better never know but...
Things can change
And we're so much in love
There will be secrets that we'll share
You and me
 
When I was a Young boy I was living in a dream
I was dreaming of a girl
My one and only
I never found that girl
But baby baby you found me
 
It was a secret I was keepin' inside
Something you'd better never know but...
Things can change
And we're so much in love
It 'Il be a secret that we'll share
You and me ...

Secrets ( version française )
( D. Laboubée )

Cette histoire n’est l’histoire de personne
Et jamais je ne saurai trahir un serment
Tant de projets – de folles espérances
Nos secrets resteront secrets
Encore longtemps
 
Comme un lynx
D’un seul coup d’œil
Tu désignes ta victime
Tu as brisé bien des cœurs
Hanté toutes mes nuits
Dévoilé tes mystères
Un des plus beaux soirs de ma vie
 
Notre histoire n’est l’histoire de personne
Et jamais je ne saurai trahir un serment
Malgré les jours qui changent et tentent ma patience
Nos secrets resteront secrets
Encore longtemps

Shop around
( Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson )

When I became of age, my mama called me to her side.
She said, "Son, you're growing up now, pretty soon you'll take a bride."
And then she said:
 
Just because you've become a young man now
There's still some things that you don't understand, now.
Before you ask some girl for her hand, now,
Keep your freedom for as long as you can, now.
My mama told me, You'd better shop around.
Oh yeah, You better shop around.
 
There's some things that I want you to know, now.
Just as sure as the wind's gotta blow, now,
The women come and the women gonna go, now.
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so, now,
My mama told me, You'd better shop around.
Oh yeah, You'd better shop around.
 
Try to get yourself a bargain, son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
Pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
Try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.
 
Before you take a girl and say "I do" now,
Make sure she's in love with you, now.
My mama told me, You'd better shop around.
Oh yeah, you'd better shop around.
 
Before you take a girl and say "I do" now,
Make sure she's in love with you, now.
Make sure that her love is true, now.
I'd hate to see you feeling sad and blue, now.
My mama told me, You'd better shop around.
Oh yeah, don't let the first one get you.
'Cause I don't want to see her with you.
Before you let her hold you tight,
Make sure she's all right.
Before you let her take your hand, my son
Understand, my son, be a man, my son, I know you can, my son...

Somewhere in heaven
( D. Laboubée )

I don’t care about this world
Don’t wanna waste my time
Nothing really matters anymore
I don’t care much about this life
It’s all been wasted since my baby died
I won’t be waiting very long
 
Somebody’s waitin’
Somewhere in heaven
An angel’s waitin’ for me
Tonight she’s callin’
Somebody’s waitin’ waitin’
Somewhere in heaven
Tonight I’ll be by her side
 
I know somebody’s waitin’
Can hear an angel callin’
I’m gonna sleep for a long long while
 
I know my love’s waitin’
I’m gonna get back to my baby
Tonight I’ll be by her side
 
Last time I saw you girl
You were lookin’ really tired
Tryin’ to hide your feelings
Behind your sweetest smile
Your love ‘s still shinin’ on me
Like a star in the night
I know this love will never die
Somebody’s waitin’
Somewhere in heaven
An angel’s waitin’ for me
Tonight she’s callin’

Stranger than me

Sunday in stockholm
( D. Laboubée )

She left without a kiss
She didn’t say bye bye
It’s 5 in the morning
And it’s still dark outside
 
It’s too early for breakfast
To late to get some sleep
And I’m still thinking of some body that I miss
 
It’s another morning
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
It’s Sunday in Stockholm
And I wanna go home
 
Wish I could write a letter
But I can’t find the words
I’d tell you how I feel
It’ couldn’t be much worse
 
It’s another morning
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
It’s Sunday in Stockholm
And I wanna go home
 
Outside it’s freezin’ cold
And I’m still thinking of you
It’s Sunday in Stockholm
It’s cold in my heart too
 
Is my life like a movie
Or am I gettin’ bored
Am I just gettin’ older
Or is it much too much
 
Wish I could be in Bali
Some other place with you
I’d take the first plane home if I only could
 
It’s another morning
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
It’s Sunday in Stockholm
And I wanna go home
 
Outside it’s freezin’ cold
And I’m still thinking of you
It’s Sunday in Stockholm
It’s cold in my heart too

Super friend
( D. Laboubée )

I’m sorry about the things I’ve said
I really didn’t want to be unkind
Sorry about the things I’ve done
I really didn’t want to make you cry
 
Now you say we’re just friends
We’ll see each other sometimes
Are we gonna be friends’til the end of time
 
I’m afraid of the future
And I’m sorry about the past
I really didn’t want to hurt anyone
Sorry about being sorry all the time
 
I know we were more than friends
I can see it in your eyes
Baby won’t you please gimme one more try
 
Don’t wanna be your Super Friend
I can’t believe that our love is dead
What do you mean Super Friend
I want to be your lover again
 
Sorry about the things I’ve said

Baby won’t you please gimme one more try
 
Don’t wanna be your Super Friend
I can’t believe that our love is dead
What do you mean Super Friend
I want to be your lover again

Teenage fever
( D. Laboubée )

What I need – I don’t know
What I catch – I don’t hold
And the only thing I catch is you
I ‘ve got a fever
A real fever
 
And I say baby
Don’t you think my life is clean ?
Everything looks the same to me
Everything’s the way it used to be
And what’s changing is me !
 
I’ve got a fever
Got it for ever
A real fever
A teenage fever
Got it for ever
Yeah !

Terminal state

The disfigured

The end of the gang
( D. Laboubée )

Back in the city I’ve grown up in
Everything looks so different to me
I feel like a stranger
Where have all my good friends gone ?
They’ve all disappeared
‘Been lookin’ for them all around town
 
Linda’s got married
And Johnny’s dead
And nothing will never be the same
I can’t believe it
Where have all the good times gone
I must be old
I’m cold and all alone
It’s the end of the story
The end of the game
It’s the end of my dreams
The end of the gang
That’s the end of the gang
 
I always knew it would happen someday
Nothing lasts for ever anyway
I can’t believe it
Maybe I should have never gone away
Baby, we’d be together
But nobody asked me to stay
 
That’s the end of the story
The end of the game
The end of all our dreams
The end of the gang
Good times are over
Come back again
The end of all my dreams
The end of the gang
 
Hey baby where are you now ?

The greatest gift

The most forgotten french boy
(D. Laboubée)

Oh well, I - I feel so lonely
And I - I sometimes feel so bad
l've been tryin' - I never give up
Oh no no no
It seems this world is made up of lies
(Don't you ever feel it ?) Ooooh...
(Don't you ever feel it ?)
 
Oh well, l'm the most forgotten french boy
(Don't you ever feel it ?)
The one who searches but never finds
(That's what they say)
Ooooh - and I really feel it
Ooooh...
 
I wish I could be loved
(Loved by you)
l'm the most forgotten french boy
(That's what they say)
Ooooh do you really want to be like me ?
Ooooh...
 
Don't you ever
Don't you ever feel it
Don't you ever feel so bad ?
 
I wish I could be loved
(Loved by you)
l'm the most forgotten french boy
(That's what they say)
Ooooh do you really want to be like me ?

The price of my sins
( D. Laboubée )

If I could re-write the story
I wouldn’t change anything but the end
I guess I’d make the same mistakes
I’d make the same mistakes again
 
Now I’ve learned to live with disease
I’ve learned to live with pain
I still like the taste of danger
Danger is a friend
 
I’ve paid twice the price
For all my sins
I’ve paid twice the price
I’ve cried a million tears
 
We’ve been playin’ dangerous games
I just didn’t realise
I’ve been playin’ with death
Ooh I’ve been playin’ with fire
 
I’ve paid twice the price
For all my sins
I’ve paid twice the price
I’ve cried a million tears
I’ve paid twice the price
Ooh the price of my sins

The story of the dogs
(D. Laboubée)

It all started in 66
A long long time before my teenage kicks
Now I’m old I’m 41
And music’s still the best way for havin’ fun

Thank you sister
For Sergent Pepper’s
And so much more
....And thanks God for Rock’n’ Roll

I remember the early days
When life was just a funny game to play
A melody is on my mind
Tonight I remember the story from the start

We were young
We were pretty
But we were good
....Too good for the neighbourhood

The story of the Dogs
The story of my life
Happy days and sleepless nights

The story of the Dogs
The story of my dreams
We’re going down in history

Then we met with success
Days of glory and days of daze
Up and down and in-betweens
I didn’t dream my life
I’ve been living my dreams

We’ll never change
We’ll always stay the same
We’ll never get old
Now the story’s waitin’ to be told

The story of the Dogs
The story of my life
Happy days and sleepless nights

The story of the Dogs
The story of my dreams
We’re going down in history

These golden days are on my mind
I know the story from the start
Those were the best days of my life
Believe me

Shakin’ hands, makin’ friends, makin’ smiles,
I wish it never end
And do the same again
I wish I could live twice
We’ll always stay the same
And we’ll never change
We’ll never give up
So don’t forget those happy days my friend
And sing a song for me when I die

The story of the Dogs
The story of my life
We’re going down in history

The story of the Dogs
The story of my dreams
Happy days and sleepless nights

These golden days are on my mind
I know the story from the start

I hope the story’s gonna be long
Who’s that girl in every song ?

Okay !
They’ve made history too :
I remember the Kingsnakes
King Bob and the King Bees
I remember the Roadrunners
They were rockin’
Fixed-up and the City Kids
They were rockin’
The Snipers and the Shifters
I’ve seen them all
They were rockin’
The Kids, The Lords, The Tweed
I’ve seen them all
They were rockin’
The Bad Brains, The Pretty Boys,
The Backsliders
I’ve seen them all
They were rockin’

The train kept - a - rollin’

The whole wide world
( E. Wreckless )

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
There’s just one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti
Or maybe she’s in the Bahamas
Where’s the Carribean sea is blue
Weepin’ in a tropical moon at night
‘Cause nobody’s told about you
 
I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Find out where they hide her
 
Why am I hangin’ around in the rain out here
Tryin’ to pick up a girl
With my eyes fillen up with those lonely tears
When this girl’s all over the world
Is she lyin’ on a tropical beach somewhere
 
I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world
Find out where they hide her

Three is a crowd
( Williama / Williams )

When I think about you
I think about lovin’ her too
Baby can’t you see
That my love has divided in two
But this scene is gettin’ me down
 
I know I can’t stay around
I mean that love can bend
Love can end this world
3 is a crowd....
 
Untrue confessions happen all the time
Ther’s no protection
From the pain in your eyes
And I’m blind
 
But this scene is gettin’ me down
I know I can’t stay around
I mean that love can bend
Love can end in this world
 
3 is a crowd
3 is a crowd !

Today sounds like yesterday
( D. Laboubée )

I was  8 in ‘65
When something happened
And changed my life
I discovered a brand new sound
I fell in love with Rock’n’Roll
 
That’s the kind of music
I really like
The kind of music I wanna play
Just wanna play this crazy music all my life
I wanna play it my own way
Gotta find my way
Wish today sounds like yesterday
 
I was  8 in ‘65
When something happened
And saved  my life
Now I never feel alone
With the Beatles and the Stones
 
That’s the kind of music
I really like
The kind of music I wanna play
Just wanna play this crazy music all my life
I wanna play it my own way
Gotta find my way
Wish today sounds like yesterday
 
Today sounds like yesterday...

Too much class for the neighbourhood
( D. Laboubée - A. Masy-Perier / D.Laboubée )

There's a party but I won't be there
They won't invite me - nobody dares
I don’t know what l'm gonna do
I got too much class for the
neighbourhood
 
There's a party and I really don’t tare
It doesn't bother me at all
'Cause I know where I want to be
I want the big city
I wanna get some kicks
 
Hey girl - you look so scared
Is it the way I point my face ?
Standin' here with nothing to do
We got
Too much class for the neighbourhood
 
It's not friendly that's for sure
Keepin' their kids away from my door
It's not the way I drive my car
'Guess they know l'm gonna be a star
Too much
I leave
That life is not for me
'Made up my mind
It won't be long
1 want some fun - 1 want some action
Hey girl - you look so scared
Is it the way I point my hair ?
Standin' here with nothing to do
We got
Too much class for the neighbourhood

Tout ce qu’elle veut
( D. Laboubée )

Elle fait de moi ce qu’elle veut
Elle est sans merci
Se sert de moi pour séduire
Mes meilleurs amis
Et tous les soirs je l’attends
Avant j’avais tout mon temps
 
Même superficielles
Ses blessures sont mortelles
Elle dicte sa loi
Je ne réponds qu’à son appel
Ce sera tout ou rien
Mais ce sera avec elle
 
Maintenant c’est tout ce qu’elle veut
C’est tout ce qu’elle voudra
Docile comme un chien
Maintenant c’est tout ce qu’elle veut
 
Advienne que pourra
Et qu’il en soit ainsi
Même si elle accapare
Mes jours et mes nuits
Avant c’était différent
Avant j’avais tout mon temps
 
Elle semble tout savoir
Et je ne sais rien d’elle
Elle dicte sa loi
Et elle est sans appel
C’est elle qui me tient
Et je tiens bien trop à elle
 
Maintenant c’est tout ce qu’elle veut
C’est tout ce qu’elle voudra
Docile comme un chien
Maintenant c’est tout ce qu’elle veut
 
Advienne que pourra
Mais que l’on se souvienne
C’est tout ce qu’elle voudra
Maintenant c’est tout ce qu’elle veut
 
Maintenant c’est tout ce qu’elle veut
C’est tout ce qu’elle voudra
D’un geste de ses doigts
Elle conjure le sort
Compagnons d’armes
Jusqu’à la mort
Je ne crains plus rien avec elle
Je n’ai plus jamais peur
Depuis qu’elle a gravé sur mon cœur
Quatre griffes de lion
Maintenant c’est tout ce qu’elle veut
C’est tout ce qu’elle voudra
 
Maintenant c’est tout ce qu’elle veut
C’est tout ce qu’elle voudra
Docile comme un chien
Maintenant c’est tout ce qu’elle veut
 
Advienne que pourra
Mais que l’on se souvienne
C’est tout ce qu’elle voudra
Maintenant c’est tout ce qu’elle veut

Trouble fete
( D. Laboubée )

Tout ce que l’on dit de moi
Ou de ceci ou cela
Ainsi l’on me considère
En bien ou en poussière
Oui c’est du plus bel effet
Dont je me satisfais
Je n’ai pas trop à m’en faire
Peux  être vaut-il mieux se taire
 
Certains sont là plein d’aisance
Au royaume des médisances
Tout leur semble perfection
Dans ce monde d’allusions
 
Etait-ce de l’envie
Ou de la jalousie
S’ils se moquaient de moi
Je ne le savais pas
Etait-ce bien la peine
Etait-ce vraiment sage
Je ne les enviais pas non
Je ne leur ressemblais pas
 
Certains sont là plein d’aisance
Au royaume des médisances
Tout leur semble perfection
Dans ce monde d’allusions
 
Etait-ce bien la peine
Etait-ce vraiment sage
La haine est inutile pour si peu
Etait-ce de l’envie
Ou de la jalousie
Tout cela m’entraîne bien loin d’eux
Oui bien loin d’eux
 
Tout ce que l’on dit de moi
Ou de ceci ou cela
Ainsi l’on me considère
En bien ou en poussière
Oui c’est du plus bel effet
Dont je me satisfais
Je n’ai pas trop à m’en faire
Peux  être vaut-il mieux se taire

Waiting for a miracle
( D. Laboubée )

You say call me up
But you’re never home
Who’s that guy on the telephone
You say you love me but It’s all big lies
You say you love me  - You don’t come back
 
It’s your life – your time
Do what you want
Hey baby don’t keep me hangin’ on
 
‘Been waitin’ for a miracle
‘Been waitin’ for a miracle for too long
 
‘Said you loved me
‘Said you were mine
Baby please make up your mind
Don’t say it’s okay
Don’t say it’s allright
Don’t send me letters if you don’t come back
 
I do what I want
You do what you want
Hey baby don’t keep me hangin’ on
 
‘Been waitin’ for a miracle
‘Been waitin’ for a miracle for too long

Walking shadows

Wanderin’ robin
( D. Laboubée )

Oh well – oh
l've been workin'
Night and day
And l've got a little money
The sun's out
l'm on My way
Driving down that road
 
I know who my friends are
And I know them pretty well
I know where my friends are
And I got them everywhere
I can go anywhere I want
My friends call me Wanderin' Robin
Ooooh...
l've been waitin' - here l'm comin'
My friends call me Wanderin' Robin
 
I can go anywhere I want
My friends call me Wanderin' Robin

When i came home
( D. Laboubée )

When I came home
Got a feeling I was not alone
I can’t fight the light
Something ‘s creeping in the night
When I came home
Turned the radio on
I needed wild wild music
When I came home
Got a feeling I was not alone
No no no no

When i was young
( Burdon - Briggs - Weider - Jenkins ? McCulloch )

The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young
When I was young
 
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
When I was young
 
When I was young it was more important
Pain, more pain, but I laughed so much louder, yeah
When I was young
When I was young
 
I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young
 
When I was young it was more important
Pain, more pain, though I laughed so much louder, yeah
When I was young
 
My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow men
And I was so much older then
When I was young
When I was young
 
When I was young..... 

Who’s wrong - who’s right
( D. Laboubée / L. Ciron )

You give the lie to me
...but I’m not to blame
You ‘re giving yourself away
With no sense of shame

You want me back
When I’m away
When I’m around
You just can’t stay

Who do you think you’re foolin’, little girl ?

I ‘ve tried to help it so many times
But the lie is in your eyes
If I’m wrong
Tell me who’s right

Much ado about nothing
I’m going away
What kind of part did you want me to play ?

You want to stay in
When I wanna go out
I’ve had enough
And you want more

How much more damage could we possibly do ?

I’ve tried to help it so many times
But the lie is in your eyes
I overdit it. You over-reacted
As usual
If we can’t take it we ‘d better leave it
And stop for good this time
If I’m wrong tell me who’s right

Who’s wrong ?
Who’s right
I’ve tried to help it so many times
But the lie is in your eyes
I overdit it. You over-reacted
As usual
If we can’t take it we ‘d better leave it
And stop for good this time
If I’m wrong tell me who’s right

I’ve tried so hard to change my way of thinking
But the thrill’s gone out or our love
I overdit and I feel stupid
As usual
If we can’t fix it we ‘d better leave it
And stop for good this time
If I’m wrong tell me who’s right
If I’m wrong tell me who’s right
I wanna know

Words

You’ re gonna loose me
