"No More Roger"

No More Roger

Yesterday
I got that phone
The streets are empty
Now I am alone
Too young to die
Too old to live
I gave them
What I had to give

I know
They gonna do me in
I know
I have had my chance to win
I know
I have had my chance to choose
Tonight
I know I'm going lose

Too old to live
Too young to die
A really silly thing to say

The end of the street
I feel my heartbeat
Should I turn left
Should I turn right
I'm gonna die
I stop to fight
I've had my day
But that's all right

I know one day I had a friend
Tonight I think this is my end
Steps behind
That's all I hear
Sweating hand
Now just fear

He shouts my name
I turn around
That's where my body
Will be found
Don't ask how
Don't ask why
Too old to live
Too young to die
A few more seconds
That's all I got
I hope he does it with one shot
With one shot

"The Evening's Young"

The Evening's Young

The evening's young
The night began

Between the bottles in a mirror
I'm smiling at myself
Look in my eyes and start to count
The bottles on the shelf
Bottles on the shelf

Evening's young
The night began
Barman brings another beer
Could ask myself
Why am I here
Between the bottles in a mirror
Smiling at myself
Look in my eyes and start to count
The bottles on the shelf
I know I could at any time
Get up the chair and leave this place
I know I could at any time
Get up the chair and leave this place
I wait for me and my decision
Between the bottles that's my face
Tv shows a football game
I leave the place but all the same
If someone asked me hey guy you
Where do you go, what do you do?
I wouldn't know what I could say

"She's Got A Gun"

She's Got A Gun

This is tonight, and it rains like in a french black and white movie of the 50's.
I feel like a character in it who's just lost it all, who is alone with his raincoat and a face showing a yet un
Way out of it. steamy hot summer night street makes me laugh.
I enjoy waiting for a taxi and I hope it's not gonna be here until I've had enough of this pleasant situation.

Movie is on
There comes a lady through the night
She stops in front of me
And asks me for a light

To win some time
To introduce myself
I pretend not to know
In which pocket I got my matches

Movie is on
There comes a lady through the night
She stops in front of me
And asks me for a light

She is walking on but not too far
She disappears behind a door
Some cats down there inside a club
The sixties play guitar

Movie is on
There came a lady through the night
She stopped in front of me
And asked me for a light

I enjoy the rain and my wet hair
Feel slightly stupid
But got to follow her
The club is empty
I am standing near the door
She is the only dancer
On the biggest floor

Quel est votre nom?

"Ballet Mecanique"

Ballet Mecanique

A thousand puppets
Waiting for a call
A thousand puppets
Afraid to fall

Try to walk, try to dance
Try to talk and wanna get their chance
One guy stands over there
He pretends to go somewhere
He shouts out

Follow me
Only then you will see
What's it all, all about
Only then you will see
What's it all, all about
Hey you there, stop to shout
Stop to shout

Follow me and my advice
Stop to think
Ain't this nice?
I will tell you what to do
If you let me count for you
Un, deux, trois

Follow me and my advice
Stop to think
Ain't this nice?
I will tell you what to do
If you let me count for you
Stop to shout
Stop to shout

I prefer to lose my mind
Not knowing what to do
Through your eyes I will be blind
Through your eyes and you
I don't wanna learn
Learn your dance
I don't care for this advance
I don't wanna learn your dance
I don't care for this advance

That's for now the one defense
Not to be caught behind your fence
I prefer to be a freak
And the world might call me weak
If you give me immediate sense
I know I move behind your fence
I know I move behind your fence
I know I move behind your fence

"Ouad El Habib"

Ouad El Habib

Why did you bring us here and left us that day
And you kept saying why do you have this pain

While in the past past time
I always thought of you

What happened to me and kept me in my suffering
Why this suffering why?

What happened to me and kept me in my pain.
Oh my fire, you told me from this day nothing came up
And you must help me surviving this day.

What happened to me oh my soul, my heart, my fire.
This day, he told me do not hurt me and I visit
Him in the day of judgement

"The Lorry"

The Lorry

Inside my lorry
I am driving through the night
Inside my lorry
The world does look all right
Five to five I got to drive
And if you ask me where I go
I tell you coast to coast is what I do
Coast to coast, you know

Motors' noise
My only choice
I wanna hear it all night long
Orchestra for my voice
For my only song
Hey, gotta drive, see y'all night

Coast to coast, that's my life
Coast to coast, all right
Motors' noise
My only choice
I wanna hear it all night long
Orchestra for my voice
For my only song

I told you lady
Take me for one day
Please don't ask any questions
You know I can stay

I wish the wind was cold
I wanna hold you baby hold
Only in your arms I'm lost

Only in your arms I'm lost
Don't look at me

Take me for one day
Don't ask any questions
You know I can stay
