"Les Prisons Du Roy"

"Les Prisons Du Roy"


Au fond des prisons du roy,
Tout au fond des prisons du roy,
Ils l'ont enferme dans les prisons du roy,
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Messire, dites-moi pourquoi ont-ils fait ca?
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Est-il vrai qu'il ne reviendra plus jamais,
Jamais, plus jamais,
Parce qu'il a vole un diamant plein d'eclats,
Le plus beau des diamants pour moi.

Au fond des prisons du roy,
Tout au fond des prisons du roy.
Et je m'en souviens, il m'avait dit un jour,
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
"tu seras plus riche que les dames de la cour."
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Est-il vrai que je ne l'entendrai jamais,

Jamais, plus jamais,
Parce qu'il a vole un diamant plein d'eclats,
Le plus beau des diamants pour moi.

Au fond des prisons du roy,
Tout au fond des prisons du roy.
Messire, dites-moi, est-il la pour la vie?
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Alors, jetez-moi en prison avec lui,
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Et rien ne nous separera plus jamais,
Jamais, plus jamais,
Car moi j'ai vole, je l'avoue, et sans peur,
Oui, messire, j'ai vole son c'ur.

Au fond des prisons du roy,
Oh, mon amour, je viens vers toi.
Tout au fond des prisons du roy.

"Like Being Born"

"Like Being Born"


My father promised me roses
My mother promised me storms
My father taught me to use my mind
My mother taught me scorn
He touches me gently with his hand
It feels like being born
It feels like being born
It feels like being born.

My father promised me green trees,
My mother promised me stars.
I hardly see the love I have -
It all goes by so fast -
He kisses me gently with his lips
It's near, what once was far
It's near, what once was far
It's near, what once was far.

My father promised me roses
My mother promised me thorns
My father taught me to use my mind
My mother taught me scorn
He touches me lightly with his hand
It feels like being born
It feels like being born
It feels like being born.

"Lonesome Traveller"

"Lonesome Traveller"


I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm travelling on.

Travelled in the mountains, travelled in the valley,
Well, I've travelled in the mountains, travelled in the valley,
Travelled in the mountains, travelled in the valley,
I'm travelling on.

I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm travelling on.

Travelled with the rich, I've travelled with the beggar,
Well, I've travelled with the rich, I've travelled with the beggar,

Travelled with the rich, I've travelled with the beggar,
I'm travelling on.

I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm travelling on.

One of these days I'm gonna stop all my travelling,
One of these days I'm gonna stop all my travelling,
One of these days I'm gonna stop all my travelling,
I'm travelling on.

I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm just a lonely and a lonesome traveller
I'm travelling on.

"Long Black Veil"

"Long Black Veil"


Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light.
There were few at the scene but they all did agree
That the man who ran looked a lot like me.

The judge said, "son what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die."
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.

She walks these hills in a long black veil.
She visits my grave where the night winds wail.

Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me.

The scaffold is high and eternity nears
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear.
But sometimes at night where the cold winds moan
In a long black veil she cries all o'er my bones.

She walks these hills in a long black veil.
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees,
Nobody knows but me.

Nobody knows but me.

"Losing"

"Losing"


You know I see you when you're sleeping
When you're all insane with dreaming.
I can tell you that you been fighting, baby,
But you been losing.

You know there's clearer ways of thinking
And there's quicker ways of dying
But I'm a sucker for your drinking
And now, I'm losing.

I don't know who you think you're cheating
Or with whom you have been sleeping,
But all the shit that you've been eating

Says you're losing.

When I let my hate pervert me
And there's no more tears for crying
I'll just kill you if you hurt me,
I'll kill you.

You know I see you when you're sleeping,
When you're all insane with dreaming.
I can tell you that you been fighting, baby,
Fighting hard and losing.

Fighting hard... and losing.
Fighting hard... fighting hard... losing.

"Love And Money"

"Love And Money"


Is it a crisis?
Is it a crime?
Or is it a fantasy?
Does it take time?
Will it cost money?
Will it mean love?
Sure isn't easy
To get in the mood

Aha
Aha
Aha
Aha.

See you at the parties
You're never the same
Do you make money?
What is your name?
Where can I find you?
Out in the night
Who are your friends?
Are they dark or light?

Aha
Aha
Aha
Aha.

Tell me the dreams you never told anyone
Gimme a break.
Are you really a virgin who's never loved anyone else?
Or just a fake?
Me I don't know what to think anymore
Don't know where to start
To sit here with you and talk about nothing
Is breaking my heart.

Ask me a question?
Gimme a smoke
What are you drinking?
Is it a joke
Well ain't it worth it?
Or am I depraved?
You hold your head high
With one foot in the grave.

Aha
Aha.
Aha
Aha.

"Love In The Afternoon"

"Love In The Afternoon"


It's getting dark outside
Daytime is done.
The lights along the river come up
One by one.
Let's make love again
We got time.
I am yours
You are mine.

It's getting dark outside
I have to go.
Don't want my husband
Or my friends to know.
Zip up my dress...

I can't find my shoes.
Don't fall in love with me
Too much to lose.

The kids are home by now
Have to think fast.
I really think this afternoon
Must be the last.
Don't say anything,
Don't turn on the light.
Thanks for loving me,
Call you tonight.

"Love More Or Less"

"Love More Or Less"


I travelled by the moon and the stars
And I travelled by the river and rocks
I see the gateway to the town
And the secret the Holy Land
And I always thought that love must surely be
Something clearly seen in black and white
And weak and make it how we want it to be
Or change it if we need to
Change it overnight

[Chorus:]
North - South
East - West
Anywhere I choose is best and there's
Nothing to it - I confess
Only love, more or less

And I loved you so much for so long
And then our love is changed
It changed every day
I know I can't control you right or wrong
Please don't shrugg it off
Don't throw it all away

[Chorus]

I look at everything that I have done
The years, the days, the hours
Life it don't overcome
But it opens like a flower

[Chorus 2x]

"Love Song"

"Love Song"


The words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen

You say it's very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen

"Love, Life And Money"

"Love, Life And Money"


Love you made me pay an awful price,
I tried to gamble with you, but you were using crooked dice.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall on me.

Money you made me some very good friends.
Just like you make them, you're gonna break them in the end.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall on me.

I've had my share of love, life and money.
I lost it all three ways and I'm here to tell ya it sure ain't funny.
Me and my money parted, so did my love and i,

Life don't mean a thing, and I wish that I could die.

In life you make a whole lotta fools,
'cause you're always teaching something that they never teach in schools.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall on me.

Love, you made me pay an awful price,
I tried to gamble with you, but you were using crooked dice.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall on me.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall on me.
