NOT TOO HOT
when i'm in a great deal of trouble
like a monkey in a monkey puzzle
you keep me calm, you keep me cool
not too hot, not too hot
you smoke a cigarette and i blow smoke in and out
i diddled it out of you
i'm into tobacco, not into tabasco
not too hot, not too hot
you wanted to play
hide and seek
but you didn't even find me in a week
not too hot, not too hot
great minds think alike
my foot's asleep
keep away from the mic
it's my time to speak

I CAN'T WAIT
i left through the window while you were still asleep
i got to the garden, i had to find a gate
my dress got caught, i left a little piece
please don't be mad at me, but i just couldn't wait
i can't wait
i just can't wait
let bygones be bygones
let's move on, move on...
i looked at the bread and could tell it was good
plus mustard and cheese, it'll make me feel great
i said to myself, let's by some, i sure should
i queued but left the line, i just couldn't wait
we've been planning to meet for weeks and weeks
the day has come at last and i don't wanna be late
i'm pacing up and down the steep streets
i'm two hours early, i just couldn't wait

FOUR CLOVERS
do you love me, love, in the daytime
do you love me, love, in the night
do you love me, love, i think of home and i cry
time is an enemy of mine
i found four clovers
twelve leaves
i saw two lovers
out in the fields
the fields are covered in
dandelion snow
a hawk is hovering
over a crow
the crows will gather
ready for the kill
a little bit farther
over the hill

WAY AWAY
we're on our way around our way
we're on our way away
the ceiling was covered with polystyrene tiles
like dirty gray skies
i didn't know why
wide eyed
we had local food
so good
when we left the highway
yeah yeah yeah
like globetrotters on a treasure trove
tranquilly we drove
to the next stop:
the second hand shop
it's great fun
to make him run
whom we love, we tease
we wave and leave

LITTLE LIAR
back to bed
but hard to get
you little liar
he dusted the bar
and here you are
you little liar
here's my heart
hear my heart
thump thump thump
stabbed in the back
i won't stab back
you little liar
why, oh why
i wonder why
you little liar
here's my heart
hear my heart
hurt hurt hurt

HAPPY BY YOUR SIDE

HAPPY BY YOUR SIDE
i'm always happy by your side
i'm always happy by your side
i'm sure, i'm sure
we never quarrel
we travel and travel
we learn and learn
love and fun in return
how sweet, how sweet
you kiss me on kiss street
and then the hey hey starts
and i'm taken aback, taken aback
hold me, hold me
my heart beats like the first time
i feel my blood, it's running wild
can't stop the flow
from top to toe
i'm sure, i'm sure

LES FRITES
je mangeais des frites sur la place du jeu de balle
t'avais les yeux tristes et des chaussettes dans les sandales
j'allais m'en aller
quand tu m'as parlé
tu m'as fait la liste de tout ce que tu savais dire:
bonjour, comment allez-vous, enchanté de vous rencontrer,
le canard est dans la bibliothèque,
un café au lait s'il vous plaît, un croissant au chocolat,
j'aime aller à la plage, je voudrais un jus de pomme, madame,
je t'aime
je mangeais des frites sur la place du jeu de balle
tu parlais un peu vite mais tu te débrouillais pas mal
j'allais m'en aller
quand tu m'as parlé
moi j'aime pas la bière, je préfère les alcools forts
mais tu m'as offert une bière et je l'ai bue sans remords
t'étais comme un poète avec ton canard dans la bibliothèque
j'aimais bien ta tête, ta tête de cacahouète
je mangeais des frites sur la place du jeu de balle
des frites pas cuites collées au papier journal
j'allais m'en aller
quand tu m'as parlé
elles étaient cool toutes tes histoires, tu m'as bien fait marrer
tu connaissais un tour, un truc bien barré
allez, j'compte jusqu'à trois: un, deux, trois
oulala, mais là c'est n'importe quoi, j'crois
on est resté là à papoter, tu m'as embrassée,
on s'est jamais séparé

FIRE

FIRE
love surrounds me
there's nothing i can do
it came and found me
and all of you too
hear the lyre
home we returned
you set me on fire
now let me burn
dance what you wanna say to me
your heart and your soul
dance, this is the place to be
losing control
dance, dance, dance
say it with your feet
dance, dance, dance
dance to the beat
hear the flames crackle
get up and cut the cackle
don't fear the fire
feel the fire
up on the table, up with you
up on the table, up with me too
up on the table, hey, hey
up on the table let me hear you say...
if your heart is bumping
and you're no match
let me tell you something:
just watch
when they have to close
come with me
we'll take off our clothes
and jump in the sea

LET THE WIND DIE DOWN
02:36
|

LET THE WIND DIE DOWN
in your peppermint cotton shirt
in my red-coated cotton skirt
we'll go to town
let the wind die down
bring my green tambourine
and your rusty metal whistle machine
when the wind dies down
we'll hit the higher ground
we'll be nowhere to be found
when the wind dies down
did you hear the storm storm
all the parasols are torn
we missed the last bus
but the kiosk clerk drove us
look at the jukebox
we're on top of the pops
mercilessly supercilious
cynical, brilliant, and stern
for my dear innocence i yearn

WASTING TIME
what are you doing
wasting time
don't you know you love him
don't you know he's the one
why don't you stop pretending
stop wasting your time
happiness is here
right under your eye
are you blind
or just wasting time
there's always something
going wrong
you keep on trying
he's been here all along
is this not love
is this not love
happiness is here
right under your eye
are you blind
or just wasting time
it's not too late
it's not too late
it's not too late
