Maybe so tired
Maybe so blind
So innocent
So impatient
How many, many cold winters
Ha has to wait
How many, many unreal hours
He has to stay
Suicided youth
He didn't want to follow
This way
He waited so much
Nobody wants to know
His way of thinking
Way of smiling
Way of thanking
Way of speaking
Way of eating
Way of moving
Way of lying
Way of seeing
No understanding
They he's the best
Certain to believe
In tis sweet life
How many, many long afternoons
He has to wait
How many, many endless minutes
He has to stay

Dear Henry

A walk
Along the scene
Just you and me
It rains
This afternoon
Sweet rainy day
And you say...
" I need a glass of wine
And no more than my table
Please, waiter "
Without any answer, you speak
" Listen, listen to me
Listen to my stories
My friend who crossed Europe
During the second world war "
You told me
Of famous nights
Very good wine
You smile
Just like a child
Expressive sight
But you say...
Somewhere, somewhere
I don't want to stop talking
Don't stop talking about
Don't go
And you speak about
Boris Vian
Jacques Brel
Simone de Beauvoir
Raymond Queneau
Robert Doisneau
Jean-Paul Sartre
Bernard Blier
Michel Audiard
Antione Blondin
Juliette Greco
Serge Gainsbourg
Serge Reggiani but somewhere...

Grandest Illusion

Did she have to prove
At each moment
Her personnality
How long
Could she keep on
Smiling like this
How long
Did she have to
Explain her desires
Wild appearance
To protect herself
From this amazing world
Only twenty years
Only twenty years
A dream between two wars
Only twenty years
Only twenty years
Grandest illusion
Her best answer
Was her terrible
Terrible silence
No man, no cry
no comment about
Her own behaviour
No happy ending
At the peak of
At the peak of glory
She stole the best
The best in a man
She stole his voice
Elsewhere
They don't know who she is
Elsewhere
They don't know where she lives
elsewhere
They don't know why she smiles
Elsewhere
They don't know what she thinks

Children Die in Silence
03:36

Turn your head to the east of Europe
We see them them from where we are
Searching for their own rights to live together
Nobody can understand
What do you see ?
Children die in silence
No CNN
Culture's burning
No United Nations
It's not the right country to start a new war
Take a large desert with U.N. soldiers
Your war is not interseting, you don't pay us
Keep on fighting without us
Let's forget them, it's not one of our wars
Think about south of Africa
Three hundred miles futher, death in great number
Stop thinking, you're in the New Age
What do you see ?
Children die in silence
No CNN
Culture's burning
No United Nations
It's not the right country to start a new war
Take a large desert with U.N. soldiers
Your war is not interseting, you don't pay us
Keep on fighting without us

The Bird and The Fish

What can I do
To forget you
Just a single day
Please show me the way
And you know who I am
From your sweet place
Don't give me a sign
But you can be sure
That the bird and the fish
Always play the same game
But without you
But without you
I'll never stop
I'll never stop
Thinking about you
Thinking about you
That the swan and the horse
Always do the same thing
But without you
But without you
I'll never stop
I'll never stop
Thinking about you
Thinking about you
What were your goals
To leave us now
And suddenly lost
And suddenly blind
And what did he say
This is not the end
We'll see you soon
Remember, remember
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I'll be with you

I've never know what sort of person you were
I wanted to guess what you thought about me
Meanwhile, we felt that we met before that day
Suddenly, I knew you were my secret sister
Do you remember, do you remember
I wanted to paint around your picture
Do you remember, do you remember
When we picked apples on the trees
Do you remember, do you remember
So certain, I knew you before
Do you remember, do you remember
I wanted to paint around your picture
Alawys thinking about me when you're in trouble
Trying to find the answers but I know you
No need to be with you to think about us
You are my only, my only garden of delight
Do you remember, do you remember
I wanted to paint around your picture
Do you remember, do you remember
When we picked apples on the trees
Do you remember, do you remember
So certain, I knew you before
Do you remember, do you remember
I wanted to paint around your picture
This is our secret story...
Do you remember, do you remember
I wanted to paint around your picture
Do you remember, do you remember
When we picked apples on the trees
Do you remember, do you remember
So certain, I knew you before
Do you remember, do you remember
I wanted to paint around your picture

Lost Cause

Here you are
Facing your enemy
Did you see his weapons
Here you are
Too much fear around you
Different things between you
Far away from his sweet home
Far away from his culture
What will you do ?
What does it mean ?
Go away, leave this country
Go away, too expensive
Don't give your life
Don't give your life for a lost cause
Think of him
A mirror he looks like
What are you wainting for ?
Think of him
He's got the same fear
Same feelings between you

Congratulations my friend
Welcome to the land of cruelty
be happy to be a friend of ours
I wish you a wonderful and sweet trip
Have a nice day!
You've won for your pleasure
Four or five years of
joy, happiness
And you can be sure of your integrity
That we will do our best for
The special holidays
In this lovely place
You've got the right to
Do what you want, of course
And you have to
" Spend the time of your life "
So please, don't speak anymore
And don't think anymore
Happy to be famous
To forget your dues
Without game, you are lost in this city
They can't see your pain
But you have to spend your time
Buying lottery tickets
Everytime, you win the amazing right
Maybe to come the day after
Or maybe next week
But now, you've won
And don't wait anymore
And don't wait anymore because
Congratulations, my friend...

Certain
To be free
The world
And Me
Maybe
They don't think
About
What they see
Silence
A shop
About war
A street
Stop it
I want
Let's find out
To stay
What sort
One dress
Of reason
Lipstick
They will
The nicest
Give us
The sweetest
Let's spend
Standing
Our time
Behind the dor
Seeing
I listen
This world
To you
Surely
You're lying
We will do
Or maybe worse
Our best
I don't
To know
Trust you
May be
I have
They do
To buy
What they can
A new coat
I'm sure
Tonight
But when
I'll show it
Will they stop
Maybe
Lying
I'll be
Like this
Your girl
Tonight
A movie
The story
is about
Relationships
Between
A man
And the world

Girls of the Nineties's

Girls of the nineties
Giving kisses
Obvious temptation
Just for self pleasure
Looking for the best way of walking
Waiting for the last days of the sales
Girls of the nineties
Wet extremeties
Ordinary life
Letters full of lies
Giving their bodies an unknown pleasure
Spending time beeing insolent
Girls of the nineties
Nothing to say
No critical sense
Just move and dance
Speaking about their boyfriends in newspapers
Believing in a singer and his ideas

Just come to see
In this street, in this bar, in this heart
Just come to feel
A sort of sin
Ways of thinking
About time, about life, about us
Good ways of thinking
Maybe so tired
Of this street, of this bar, of this heart
Maybe so tired
Of his own face
Another street, other bars, other hearts
He chose to try it
So somewhere
Just somewhere
Somewhere
Just somewhere
Can it be
Posiible, logical, terible
To leave us, very alone
Days to die
Night to smile, night to play, night to write
Monkeys in winter
Efforts to wait
for a smile, for a hand, for a friend
Efforts to wait
So precious time
What could they do
With this smile, with this hand, with this friend
sureley, they need it
Wine at seven o'clock in the morning
Good mixture, so good for him
Does he find better ?
Does he speak better ?
Just somewhere
Games at seven o'clock in the morning
good and lucky cards, so good for him
Does he find better ?
Does he drive better ?
Just somewhere

I just want
Want to know
Where you've been
My incredible friend
You're the one
The one I want
Why did you go away last year ?
Suddenly
I'm looking for
I'm looking for you
You're so far
You're so far
You'll come back sooner or later
You'll come back sooner or later
There's no street
There's no bar
Where I can forget you, my friend
There's no Friday, Friday evening
Where I don't think about you
Suddenly
I remember
I remember your words
Make me smile
Make me smile
You'll come back sooner or later
You'll come back sooner or later
Come on, please
Come on, my friend
I miss you so much
We have to go
To buy some beer
Please hurry up, my friend, you're late
I'll do what you want
I'll drive if you want
Come on now, we don't have time
We don't have time
We don't have time
I miss you so much
I miss you
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
I miss you so much
I miss you so much
