BY THE TIME

 

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up

It's the early morn
lights flick on
sleepy eyes peek through the blinds at something wrong
Motionless remains the mess
Shame, such a beautiful, beautiful young life

By the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
By the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
tell me how am I supposed to care

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up

A trail of clothes two years old
Why did you have to go and leave all this stuff behind
Wasn't I allowed three strikes and out
No, but you said I could, said I could just one night

By the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware

By the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
tell me how am I supposed to care

If I had let you go, let you go
would this be different, different
Now I'll never know never know
I didn't get the chance damn you

If I let had you go, let you go
would this be different, different
Now I'll never know never know
I didn't get the chance damn you

and by the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware

and by the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
tell me how am I supposed to care

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up

ONE FOOT BOY

 

What's the matter with going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty loving makes me seasick
What you're here for, I don't need it

I'll say nothing on your microphone
Till you swear to take me home
There's a one foot boy eleven stone
He's sitting on my shoulder
I'm too scared to look away,
He comes here almost every day
And every day I push him off and tell him boy we're over

MY OH MY
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own

One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!

Say you like me,
But not with changes?
Shut up and forget it
These are my faces
All these colours
That surround me
All these places
Only drown me

I'll say nothing on your microphone
Till you swear to take me home
There's a one foot boy eleven stone
He's sitting on my shoulder

I'm too scared to look away,
He comes here almost every day
And every day I push him off and tell him boy we're over

MY OH MY
I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own

I think my mind is gone
I'm left here wondering
Was I crazy all along?
What do I do?
Nothing left but pray
Gonna shoot somebody
Help me drive this craziness away
I'm happy on my own

What's the matter
With going places?
Take that gross look off your faces
Empty loving makes me seasick
What you're here for, I don't need it

One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!

One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!
One foot boy!

Happy on my own

TOY BOY

 

I’m a wind-up toy in an up down world
If you leave me all alone, I’ll make a mess for sure
I’ve a heart of gold in the smallest size
Leave me in the dark, you’ll never hear me cry

More than an illustration
Points of articulation
Come to life on a brass spring
Such a wonderful plaything

It’s a cruel cross that I have to bear
If you come a little closer I’m going to pull your hair
More than just a toy in a patched blue suit
Hold me in your arms I’m just a boy like you

But your mama thought there was something wrong
Didn’t want you sleeping with a boy too long
It’s a serious thing in a grown-up world
Maybe you’d be better with a Barbie girl

You knew that I adored ya
But you left me in Georgia
Toys are not sentimental
How could I be for rental?

She’s the meanest hag that has ever been
Pulled out my insides with an old safety pin
I’m the sorest sight, now I feel like trash
Clothes are made of rags and they don’t even match

So she dressed me up as the man she loved
Threw me in a box when she had had enough
Now the light of day I no longer see
She stuck her voodoo pins where my eyes used to be

Accidentally tragic
Victim of her black magic
Had a boy once who loved me
Now he's so afraid of me

On a long lost day when you're gray and old
You'll be there remembering your old toy boy
When your oldest son's wondering what to be
Tell him the story of a boy like me

PICK UP OFF THE FLOOR

 

There's a girl, thought she knew
What her life was going to do
Then she goes and falls in love and throws it all away
But a man can't decide,
If he's made the right choice in life
So she comes home one day to find he's gone away

Put your heart back in your pocket
Pick your love up off the floor
Well your mama says to stop it
But girl let me tell you more

If he's ninety-five or twenty-two
A boy's gonna do what he's gonna do
He says he don't love you anymore
So pick up off the floor

Walks around an empty town
Sees his face coming around
Every corner takes on a familiar stare
Love is lost; love can burn,
But your love will return
But if you're dragging it down, you won't know it's there

Put your heart back in your pocket
Pick your love up off the floor
Well your mama says to stop it
But girl let me tell you more

If he's ninety-five or twenty-two
A boy's gonna do what he's gonna do;
He says he don't love you anymore
So pick up off the floor

Put your heart back in your pocket
Pick your love up off the floor
Well your mama says to stop it
But girl let me tell you more

If he's ninety-five or twenty-two
A boy's gonna do what he's gonna do
He says he don't love you anymore
So pick up off the floor

LONELY ALCOHOLIC

 

You’re a lonely alcoholic
With a tendency to wine
Well you speak it and you drink it
And bore us all the time

Say you drink out of your sorrow
For you’ve got no one to love
But tell me who could cuddle up
To a lonely alcoholic

You’re a stressed out single mother
Who has clearly been harassed
Well you can’t predict the future
For you can’t erase the past
Cause your baby isn’t going anywhere but up
So join the line and get the dole
For the stressed out single mother

I’m a mediocre writer
Who sings all the time
Writing songs about misfortunes
And other people’s crimes
Well they say that I am doing
My duty to the world
Oh you could say that is onerous,
I’m just craving to be heard

Ooooo don’t leave me alone

Well who is there to listen to
The problems of our lives
You’ve got kids who just don’t eat enough
And men with many wives
If we’re altogether screaming
Why can’t we make a sound
’Cause the dirt on which we’re stepping
Is the one in which we will be found

Ooooo baby, don’t leave me alone

Well who is there to listen to
The problems of our lives
You’ve got kids who just don’t eat enough
And men with many wives
If we’re altogether screaming
Why can’t we make a sound
’Cause the dirt on which we’re stepping
Is the one in which we will be found

Ooooo baby, don’t leave me alone

LADY JANE

 

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

Lady Jane, the river saint
Special yes, but lucky ain't
Lady Jane said she walked on water but she never had a man to show
Then one day she found a fella she was eager just to let him know
Lady Jane she walked on water
Followed by her brand new lover who tumbled along, drowning down below

Lady Jane did not abort
For legends are never made that short
Now be sure when you listen to this
Here's another reason why you shouldn't eat fish
Convinced he'd become a creature of the sea
She cut off her feet and jumped into the deep
And never stopped looking for her lover below

Lady Jane, the river fish
Became the world's most wanted dish
And though no man would dare to catch
Something whose beauty we could never match
But when some member from a far away state
Said "I order you to get that fish's head on my plate!"
They killed little Lady Jane

The emperor of a distant land
The only man who didn't understand
That though you think you've got your prize
There's another fish that has escaped your eyes
Lady Jane, her lover's there
Swimming through the ocean with a desperate stare
Looking for Lady Jane
Looking for Lady Jane

KICK-ASS

 

We are young, we are strong
We're not looking for where we belong
We're not cool, we are free
And we're running with blood on our knees

We could rule the world
On a silver platter
From the wrong to the right light
To an open stream
With a crash and burn
We could make it better
Turn it upside down
Just you and me
We are the dream
No other way
To be

We are young, we are strong
We're not looking for where we belong
We're not cool, we are free
And we're running with blood on our knees

I could change the world
I could make it better
Kick it up and down
Take a chance on me
When you fake a smile
And you think you're better
Gonna put it down
Rip it at your feet
No bridge to burn
Nowhere to turn
For me

We are young, we are strong
We're not looking for where we belong
We're not cool, we are free
And we're running with blood on our knees

What do they know about us?
Are they thinking of somebody else?
Are they wondering what we might be?
Are they thinking of you or of me?

We are young, we are strong
We're not looking for where we belong
We're not cool, we are free
And we're running with blood on our knees

BLAME IT ON THE WEATHER

 

**Lyrics based on live performances and may be subject to change**

Stormy weather, here we go again
We don't talk about it and you never change nothing
It doesn't matter that's what lovers do
We don't run from it when the skies are blue

So you can be the thunder and i can be the rain
Let love pull us under and do it all again

And i said blame it on the weather and the things it makes us do
We could blame it on each other for we know we're guilty too
And i said hear my song
It won't last too long
And we'll blame it on, on the weather

Bitter winter, victims of the storm
I'm not frozen over it makes me love you more lover
I adore you, nothing more to say
If it wasn't for you i'd never love this way

So you can be the thunder and i can be the rain
Oh let love pull us under and do it all again

So i said blame it on the weather and the things it makes us do
We could blame it on each other for we know we're guilty too
And i said hear my song
It won't last too long
And we'll blame it on, on the weather

So i said blame it on the weather and the things it makes us do
We could blame it on each other for we know we're guilty too
And i said hear my song
It won't last too long
And we'll blame it on, on the weather

Oooh ooooh

ELLE ME DIT

 

Elle me dit
Écris une chanson contente
Pas une chanson déprimante
Une chanson que tout le monde aime

Elle me dit
Tu deviendras milliardaire
Tu auras de quoi être fier
Ne finis pas comme ton père

Elle me dit
Ne t’enfermes pas dans ta chambre
Vas-y secoues-toi et danse
Dis moi c’est quoi ton problème
Elle me dit
Qu’est-ce que t’as pas l’air coincé
T’es défoncé ou t'es gai
Tu finiras comme ton frère
Elle me dit

Elle me dit, c’est ta vie
Fais c’que tu veux, tant pis
Un jour tu comprendras
Un jour tu t’en voudras
Elle me dit, t’es trop nul
Sors un peu de ta bulle
Tu fais n’importe quoi
On dirait que t’aimes ça

Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie (x3)
Danse danse danse
[x2]

Elle me dit
Fais comme les autres garçons
Vas taper dans un ballon
Tu deviendras populaire
Elle me dit
Qu’est-ce tu fous sur internet
Ca va pas bien dans ta tête
Regardes le temps que tu perds
Elle me dit
Pourquoi tu te plains tout le temps
On dirait que t’as 8 ans
C’est pas comme ca que tu vas m’plaire
Elle me dit
Un jour je serais plus là
Mais c’est quand elle me dit ça
Qu’elle me dit un truc que j’aime

Elle me dit, c’est ta vie
Fais ce que tu veux, tant pis
Un jour tu comprendras
Un jour tu t’en voudras
Elle me dit, t’es trop nul
Sors un peu de ta bulle
Tu fais n’importe quoi
On dirait que t’aimes ça

Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie (x3)
Danse danse danse
Elle me dit
[x2]

Elle me dit
T’as pas encore des cheveux blancs
Mais t’auras bientôt 30 ans
Vaudrait mieux que tu te réveilles
Elle me dit
Tu es toujours un enfant
Tu ne seras jamais grand
Et moi je suis déjà vieille
Elle me dit
Regardes un peu tes amis
Qu’est-ce qu’ils vont faire de leur vie
Il y a de quoi se foutre en l’air
Elle me dit
Oui un jour tu me tueras
Mais c’est quand elle me dit ça
Qu’elle me dit un truc que j’aime

Elle me dit danse (x8)

Elle me dit, c’est ta vie
Fais c’que tu veux, tant pis
Un jour tu comprendras
Un jour tu t’en voudras
Elle me dit, t’es trop nul
Sors un peu de ta bulle
Tu fais n’importe quoi
On dirait que t’aimes ça

Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie (x3)
Danse danse danse
Elle me dit
[x2]

Elle Me Dit - English Version

 

**Lyrics based on a live performance**

 

She tells me can't you write a happy song

Get your ass to number one

You could try a little harder

She tells me you could be a millionaire

But you're so full of hot air

Gonna end up like your father

 

She tells me you can't leave your life to chance

Get a girl and learn to dance

Be a boy like any other

She tells me why you got so much to say

Are you stuck up, are you gay

Gonna end up like your brother

 

She tells me it's my life

Don’t get to live it twice

One day you'll understand

Become a better man

She's pulling out her hair

But says she doesn't care

She doesn't make no sense

Screaming at me in French

 

She tells me you live your life in a balloon

Lock yourself up in your room

So the world can never reach ya

She tells me whatcha smoking, what's that stench

Who you’re speaking to in French

Did you really think you had me

 

She tells me that’s enough, do as you’re told

Does she think I’m eight years old

I give up it's not worth trying

She tells me one day I will end up dead

That's the only thing she said

That would ever get me smiling

 

She tells me it's my life

Don’t get to live it twice

One day you'll understand

Become a better man

She's pulling out her hair

But says she doesn't care

She doesn't make no sense

Screaming at me in French

 

She tells me you live your life in a balloon

Lock yourself up in your room

So the world can never reach ya

She tells me am I speaking Japanese

Then she's falling on her knees

Starts her praying to St. Peter

She tells me see the price I had to pay

Had to give my life away

All the sh*t I have to get through

She tells me why'd you make this hard for me

It's not the way it's meant to be

I don't want to have to hate you

KAREN

 

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

Karen à 20 ans, oui mais Karen n'a rien d'autre et le temps file déjà entre ses doigts
Accoudée au bar Rue des Martyrs, au 82
Karen fait son bilan, elle voudrait une vie meilleure
Que ses frères et ses sœurs qui sont rentrés dans les rangs
Karen dit que Paris c'est grand, qu'une autre vie l'attend, elle dit qu'on l’achètera pas

Karen mise encore sur le rouge de ses lèvres et elles bougent.
Elle dit qu'elle vaut mieux que ça car elle s’en fout, elle est LIBRE, elle est libre.
Karen dit qu’elle sera une star
Couche avec des connards
Elle dit qu’elle fera des envieux
Karen trinque toujours à la vôtre
Chante les chansons des autres
Chante ses rêves et les nôtres
Chante au bistrot 82

Karen a 30 ans mais elle n’a rien d’autre à faire, même pas des enfants, même pas la poussière
Elle vit chez sa mère, juste à deux rues du 82
Un jour, l’amour est venu, il a frappé à sa porte
Elle a crié "qu’il sorte moi j’ouvre pas aux inconnus"
Karen dit que Paris c'est grand, qu'une autre vie l'attend
Elle dit qu’on ne l’achètera pas
Karen mise encore sur le rouge de ses lèvres et elle bouge sans comprendre pourquoi
Elle dit qu’elle vaut mieux qu' ça
Karen s’en fout, elle est libre, elle est libre

Karen dit qu’elle sera une star
Couche avec des connards
Elle dit qu’elle fera des envieux
Karen trinque toujours à la votre
Chante les chansons des autres
Chante ses rêves et les nôtres
Chante au bistrot 82
Chante au bistrot 82
Chante au bistrot 82

Karen a 50 ans, pas d'alloc, pas d’argent
Elle fume et tousse sur un petit lit blanc
Elle se dit qu’elle passera boire un verre
Au 82 mais elle mourra juste avant
Sur son vieux matelas pourri
ses chiens de ressorts qui lui rentrent dans les flancs

Karen dit que la vie c’est dur
Va tout droit dans le mur
Elle dit qu’on ne l’arrêtera pas
Karen mise maintenant sur le noir
Ferme les yeux et se barre
Sans comprendre pourquoi
Karen s'en va, elle est libre, elle est libre

Elle est libre, elle est libre

Karen dit qu’elle sera une star
Couche avec des connards
Elle dit qu’elle fera des envieux
Karen trinque toujours à la votre
Chante les chansons des autres
Chante ses rêves et les nôtres
Chante au bistrot 82
Chante au bistrot 82
Chante au bistrot 82

UNDERWATER

 

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

Bursting through a blood red sky
A slow landslide
And the world we leave behind
It's enough to lose your head
Disappear and not return again

When I fall to my feet
Wearin' my heart on my sleeve
All I see just don't make sense
You are the port of my call
You shot and leaving me raw
Now I know you're amazing

'Cause all I need
Is the love you breathe
Put your lips on me and
I can live Underwater Underwater
Underwater Underwater

Flying through a bright blue sky
With a space-boy high
From the world I leave behind
It's enough to lose my head
Disappear and not be seen again

When I fall to my feet
Wearin' my heart on my sleeve
All I see just don't make sense
You are the port of my call
You shot and leaving me raw
Now I know you're amazing

'Cause all I need
Is the love you breathe
Put your lips on me and
I can live underwater Underwater
Underwater Underwater

Underwater Underwater
I can live Underwater
With your love I can breathe I can breathe Underwater

Underwater Underwater
I can live Underwater
With your love I can breathe I can breathe Underwater
Underwater Underwater
We can live Underwater
With your love I can breathe I can breathe Underwater

Underwater Underwater
We can live Underwater
With your love we can breathe we can breathe Underwater

HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME?

 

**Lyrics based on live performances and may be subject to change**

There's a boy
His father's bad
He's sitting on the road
And he's so sad
Now he cries
Every day
Just tell him to forget about the father
Who couldn't show the way

There's a girl
Her momma's gone
She's got another man
And couldn't carry on
Now she cries
Every day
To forget about her mother
She runs away

How much do you love me
How much do you care
How much do you need me
When I'm not there
How much do you love me
How much do you care
How much do you miss me
When I'm not there

Do do do do ...

In this life
We live and learn
To lose what we love
And get what hurts
I'm not about
To forget it all
Gonna love every minute
Every hour more

How much do you love me
How much do you care
How much do you need me
When I'm not there
How much do you love me
How much do you care
How much do you miss me
When I'm not there

How much do you love me
How much do you care
How much do you need me
When I'm not there
How much do you love me
How much do you care
How much do you miss me
When I'm not there

Do do do do ...

I love you more, I love you, more
I love you more, I love you, more

How much do you love me
How much do you care
How much do you need me
When I'm not there
How much do you love me
How much do you care
How much do you miss me
When I'm not there

How much do you love me
How much do you care
How much do you need me
When I'm not there
How much do you love me
How much do you care
How much do you miss me
When I'm not there

Do do do do ...

ONLY LONELY MAN

 

Hey
Ein, zwei, drei, vier!

Who lives without love
Got lots of things but it's not enough
Am I the only lonely man

I turn on my TV
See lots of hearts (things)
But there's none for me
Am I the only lonely man

Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only
Only lonely man

I go to NYC
See the pretty Statue of Liberty
I said Hey girl!
What a lonely lonely life

Your heart is made of stone
You symbolise what I want to own
Could you be my lonely lonely wife

Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only
Only lonely man

Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only
Only lonely man
Only lonely man

Who lives without love
Got lots of things but it's not enough
Am I the only lonely man

I turn on my TV
See lots of hearts (things)
But there's none for me
Am I the only lonely man

Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only
Only lonely man

Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only
Only lonely man
Only lonely man

INSTANT MARTYR

 

She's an instant martyr
A drama queen
She gets up like a star
Cries like she used to
Walking around with this air of a queen,
She doesn't know what she wants
Knows how to use you...

(Oh)
Where are the stars up in the sky,
Is there no hope for you and I, my darling?

I am so intolerably blue
At the thought of leaving you, my darling,
Honey pie.

(Ooh)
It's in her eyes
(Sugar)
Gonna get you down
(Ooh)
It's no surprise
(Lover)
Come around

She's the cream of the crop,
She's the cropper of the cream,
She's the time of your life,
One in a million.
Walking around with this air of a queen
She doesn't know what she wants
Knows how to use you now...

(Oh)
Where are the stars up in the sky,
When you need them, when you need them?

I am so intolerably blue
Just at the thought of leaving you, my darling,
Sugar pie.

(Ooh)
It's in her eyes
(Sugar)
Gonna get you down
(Ooh)
It's no surprise
(Lover)
When you come around

(Ooh)
She's staring at you
(Sugar)
Gonna get you down
(Ooh)
She's looking so cruel
(Lover)
When you coming 'round

Here comes the sun little darlin'
Here comes the sun

GAVE IT ALL AWAY

 

I will learn to live before I die
Will learn to love and learn to try
Not to give it all away
She may be
The one that's meant for me
Or for the man that I used to be
Til' I gave it all away

Why
I lay my heart down on the floor
I showed you love, you wanted more
But I gave it all away

You taught me to see the bitter truth
About yourself but about me too
I was stupid over you
What could I do

Why
I lay my heart down on the floor
I showed you love, you wanted more
But I gave it all away

Some people wait a lifetime for a chance like this
I've waited enough
Baby, no, I won't let you go
I'm sick of tears and being fierce

Why
I lay my heart down on the floor
I showed you love, you wanted more
But I gave it all away

There's nothing left to take
I gave it all away

Love in bad weather

 

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

 

Nous y voilà, toi et moi sur notre sommet

Ces deux montagnes, de fierté à soulever

A qui la faute, c’est qu’on se rejette chaque fois

Le premier qui saute , sera-il le fou ou le roi?

 

Après l’eau le déluge, se laisser tomber

Dévaller jusqu’à un refuge, jusqu’à s’oublier

 

Mon amour

Personne à l’horizon, plus que le temps assassin

Personne ne sait il n’y a plus de saison

Pourquoi écouter en vain

La météo cruelle , moi j’aime autant

Faire l’amour dans le mauvais temps

 

Nous voilà bien à guetter le premier qui glisse

Qui brisera le lien assis au bord du précipice

On apprendra qu’il n’y a que les montagnes

Qui ne se rencontrent pas

Bien trop fières pour faire un seul pas

 

Après l’eau le déluge, se laisser tomber

Dévaller jusqu’à un refuge, jusqu’à s’oublier

 

Mon amour

Personne à l’horizon, plus que le temps assassin

Personne ne sait il n’y a plus de saison

Pourquoi écouter en vain

La météo cruelle , moi j’aime autant

Faire l’amour dans le mauvais temps

 

Mon amour

Personne à l’horizon, plus que le temps assassin

Personne ne sait il n’y a plus de saison

Pourquoi écouter en vain

La météo cruelle , moi j’aime autant

Faire l’amour dans le mauvais temps

Faire l’amour dans le mauvais temps

ORIGIN OF LOVE

 

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

Love is a drug and you are my cigarette
Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette
Love is a drug like chocolate like cigarettes
I’m feeling sick I’ve got to medicate myself

I want your love don’t try and stop me
Can’t get enough still hanging on me
Your guilty heart don’t let it break you
And if you pray, well no one’s gonna save you

Like everyone that you fear
And everything you hold dear
Even the book in your pocket
You are the sun and the light
You are the freedom I fight
God will do nothing to stop it
The origin is you
You’re the origin of love

Love is a drug and you are my cigarette
Love is addiction and you are my Nicorette
Love is a drug like chocolate like cigarettes
I’m feeling sick I’ve got to medicate myself

Well if God is a priest and the devil a slut
Well that’s a reason for nothing
Like every word that you preach
Like every word that you teach
With every rule that you breach
You know the origin is you

From the air I breathe
To the love I need
Only thing I know
You’re the origin of love
From the God above
To the one I love
Only thing that’s true
The origin is you

From the air I breathe
To the love I need
Only thing I know
You’re the origin of love
From the God above
To the one I love
Only thing that’s true
The origin is you

Madre Deus Deus machismo
Dio de madre Deus machismo
Madre de Deus santo spirito

Like stupid Adam and Eve
They found their love in a tree
God didn’t think they deserved it
He taught them hate taught them pride
Gave them a leaf made them hide
Let’s push their story aside
You know the origin is you

From the air I breathe
To the love I need
Only thing I know
You’re the origin of love
From the God above
To the one I love
Only thing that’s true
The origin is you

From the air I breathe
To the love I need
Only thing I know
You’re the origin of love
From the God above
To the one I love
Only thing that’s true
The origin is you

Some love’s a pill and some love is a candy cane
It tastes so sweet but leaves you feeling sick with pain
Your love is air I breathe it in around me
Don’t know it’s there but without it I’m drowning
Love
You're the origin of Love

hey oh hey oh ha
You're the origin of Love Love Love Love Love Love ... (repeat)

I thank God that you found me

Comme un soleil mal luné

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

Je suis comme un soleil mal luné
Qui n'a pas envie de briller
Qui ne décroche pas un sourire
Ni la lune ça va sans dire

Je suis comme un soleil mal luné
Qui veut seulement rester couché
Qui jette un froid en s'éclipsant
C'est vrai je plombe l'ambiance gaiement

Je suis seul tout seul
Sans ta petite gueule si seul
Comme le soleil
On me coupe la lumière quoi que je paie

Et comme un soleil mal luné
Dont tu préfères te protéger
À chaude larme j'ai beau pleurer
Mais sur moi elle sèche vite fait

Je ne demande pas la lune
Ni la gloire ni la fortune
Juste du soleil dans ma vie
Sauf que le soleil it is me

Je suis seul tout seul
Sans ta petite gueule si seul
Comme le soleil
On me coupe la lumière quoi que je paie

Je suis comme un soleil sans chapeau
Un roi soleil sans son château
Dis moi pourquoi toi tu m'évites
Même quand je me pointe au zénith

L'amour c'est con comme la lune
Qu'est-ce qu'on ferait pas pour des prunes
Je ne dors plus sans pilule
J'avance d'une heure et je recule

Je suis seul tout seul
Sans ta petite gueule si seul
Comme le soleil
On me coupe la lumière quoi que je paie
Quoi que je paie

 

TRANSLATION:

 

Like a Sun in a Bad Mood

 

I'm like a sun in a bad mood

who doesn't want to shine

who doesn't crack a smile

even with the moon

 

I'm like a sun in a bad mood

who just wants to stay in bed

who casts a chill when he slips away

It's true, I cheerfully cast a cloud over the atmosphere

 

I'm like a sun in a bad mood

which doesn't want to rise

which slips away, ruining the ambiance

It's true, I joyfully cast a cloud over the atmosphere

 

I'm on my own all alone

Without your pretty face, so alone

Like the sun

Whatever I pay, my lights are cut off

 

And like a sun in a bad mood,

from which you'd rather protect yourself

With warm tears I cry no matter
But on me it dries quickly

 

I'm not asking for the moon

nor for fame nor fortune

I just want sun in my life

Except that the sun it is me

 

I'm alone all alone

Without your pretty face, so alone

Like the sun

Whatever I pay, my lights are cut off

 

I'm like a sun without a hat

A sun king without his castle

Tell me why you avoid me

Even when I show up at the zenith

 

Love, it's as stupid as the moon

What wouldn't we do for nothing

I can't sleep without pills

I go forward an hour and then back

 

I'm alone all alone

Without your pretty face, so alone

Like the sun

Whatever I pay, my lights are cut off

MAKE YOU HAPPY

 

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

Miami Edit

All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...

All these years of trying
If I said I’m happy I’d be lying
Think it’s love we’re making
But if this is love then watch me die on you

Maybe you can’t hear me
But I feel like screaming when you’re near me
Save me from your theories
At the very least just let me cry on you

Undervalued
Love is a bolt from the blue
If only you knew
You were so far from the truth

All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...

A heart’s a lonely hunter
We can fight the cold and fight the hunger
Who can you rely on?
Can we share the shoulder that you cry on?

You talk how can I listen
When I hear the people scream
Telling me the things I should believe in
I’ll show you what I’m made of
They can’t cover up for me
Because they know there’s nothing I’m afraid of

Undervalued
Love is a bolt from the blue
If only you knew
You were so far from the truth

All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...



LA Edit

All I wanna do is make you happy

Baby you ain't trying
If I said I’m upbeat I’d be lying
Show me what you're hiding
But if this is love then watch me die on you

All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy
All I wanna do is make you happy

Maybe you can’t hear me
But I feel like screaming when you’re near me
Save me from your theories
At the very least just let me cry on you

Undervalued
I can't be far from the truth
Baby I knew
Hardly a bolt from the blue

All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...

Love and hate each other
If we can't get it together
You know we'll never ever ever
Fix a heart don't break it
Can't you see the love around you
You know you're crazy not to take it

Undervalued
I can't be far from the truth
Baby I knew
Hardly a bolt from the blue
All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...

Whatcha gonna do
I am not over you
Whatcha gonna do
I am not over you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna sort you out
When's it gonna hit ya
I'm never gonna let you down

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna sort you out
When's it gonna hit ya
I'm never gonna let you down

All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...
All I want to do is make you happy...

OVERRATED

 

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

Words get broken
Cut me open
Love confound me
Kill me quickly

Breathe out, breathe in
Throw me living
off the deep end
While I’m sleeping

I’m a crazy fool
I’m a fool addicted
To the touch of you
To your poison kisses
What you got to lose
What do you think this is
Nothing left to prove
And you know that love is…

Overrated Overrated
In this God damn world (x 4)

Stars are magic
Light this tragic
Crime of passion
I’m just asking

I offered up my wrist
And you thought you hit it
But your arrow missed
You couldn’t kill me with it
All I asked of you was to free my pain
So you couldn’t do this to me again

Overrated Overrated
Overrated Overrated
In this God damn world ....

Words get broken
Cut me open
Breathe out, breathe in
Throw me living
Words get broken
Cut me open
Stars are magic
Light this tragic

Overrated Overrated
Overrated in this God damn world

LOLA

 

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

People always make me crazy
Love me lots, don’t love me maybe
What’s the point in singing silly love songs?
Who do they think they are to tell us?
Make me sad and make me jealous
Don’t believe a word 'cause they are so wrong

Lola, Lola

Sex and lies and mystery
They don't bring out the best in me
Keep jumping from one lover to another
Thank you for the time you've taken
Cleanin' up the mess I'm makin'
Make the same mistake over and over

Lola, I’ve made up my mind
I’m not gonna fall in love this time (x2)

Lola

Why pretend to be so jaded
It's so easy just to hate it
Anyone can love you for a dollar
But when you find your love's for real
You'll beg and borrow, cheat and steal
Trying to get the money just to call her

Lola, I’ve made up my mind
I’m not gonna fall in love this time (x2)

Like a fish out of water
It picks you up and spits you out
Why do we even bother
When there’s only one way out
And we both know it, lover

Lola, I’ve made up my mind
I’m not gonna fall in love this time (x2)

You can't stop it if you try
Love makes you laugh, it makes you cry
The oldest game in history, repeated. (x2)

Lola
Lola babe it’s just another love song (x2)

Lola, I’ve made up my mind
Lola babe it’s just another love song (x2)

(Lola, lololollala lalala)

Lola babe, it’s just another love song…

STARDUST

 

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

I could be staring
At somebody new
But stuck in my head
Is a picture of you

You were the thunder
I was the rain
I wanna know
If I'll see you again

I said I love you
You said good-bye
Everything changes
In the blink of an eye

It's been a while
I still carry the flame
I wanna know
Will I see you again

See you again
See you again

I want you to know
What you mean to me
What would it take
Take you to see

I could put a little stardust in your eyes
Put a little sunshine in your life
Give me a little hope you feel the same
And I wanna know will I see you again
Will I see you again

I feel like a fool
'Cause you're not even there
I'm writing this song
And you don't even care
Throw me a lifeline
Open the door
And pick up my heart
that you left on the floor

On the floor
On the floor

I want you to know
What you mean to me
What would it take
Take you to see

I could put a little stardust in your eyes
Put a little sunshine in your life
Give me a little hope you feel the same
And I wanna know will I see you again
Will I see you again

Funny how the time goes rushing by
And all the little things we leave behind
But even then in everything I do
Is a little bit of me
And a little bit of you

When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again

I could put a little stardust in your eyes
Put a little sunshine in your life
Give me a little hope you feel the same
And I wanna know will I see you again
Will I see you again

I could put a little stardust in your eyes
Put a little sunshine in your life
Give me a little hope you feel the same
And I wanna know will I see you again
Will I see you again

Funny all the time goes rushing by
And all the little things we leave behind
But even then in everything I do
Is a little bit of me
And a little bit of you

When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again

KIDS

 


(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)


The kids are playing in the sun
They think their life has just begun
For them it's just another day
Playin' games only kids will play

There won't be a me and you
If we keep on fighting like we do
Baby don't you walk away
Saying things only kids would say

Kids what do they know about nothing at all
Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call

Take your kid gloves off
This is love not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for
Take your kid gloves off
This is love not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for

You shout with nothing to say
And fight 'til you get your way
It hurts but what can I do
I won't turn into a kid, too

Kids what do they know about nothing at all
Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call

Take your kid gloves off
This is love not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for
Take your kid gloves off
This is love not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for

You're playing in the setting sun
You think your life has just begun
You're throwing all my love away
Just another California day

Kids what do they know about nothing at all
Lover, love when you're here and I love when you call
....
Just another California day

Take your kid gloves off
This is love not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for
Take your kid gloves off
This is love not war
Give our peace a chance
Make it worth fighting for

Playing in the setting sun
You think your life has just begun
Throwing all my love away
Just another California day

ONLY LOVE YOU WHEN I'M DRUNK

 

(SONG DISCUSSION THREAD HERE)

I had a dream last night I slept with someone else
Does that mean that I cheated on you?
It was amazing and I couldn't stop myself
Could it be that I really want to?

Well if the things we feel count more than what we do
Guess what lover I'm leaving

I don't wanna be that guy
Look you in the face and lie
But someone has to say it first
Even if the words may hurt

I only love you
I only love you
I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

I only love you
I only love you
I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

Don't get me wrong last night
I didn't change my mind
It was the drink it was leading me blind
And when I kissed you it was such a big mistake
A couple drinks that's a chance that I take
And if I can't control all of the things I do
I guess I'd better be leaving

I don't wanna be that guy
Look you in the face and lie
But someone has to say it first
Even if the words may hurt

I only love you
I only love you
I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

I only love you
I only love you
I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

I only love you
I only love you
I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

I only love you
I only love you
I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

And I may be a little bit drunk
But I know what I've got to do
'Cause when I get a little more sober
I know I'll be over you

And I may be a little bit drunk
But I know what I've got to do
'Cause when I get a little more sober
I know I'll be over you

I only love you
I only love you
I only love you
I only love you
I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk

I only love you
I only love you
I only love you only love you only love you when I'm drunk
