Such a long time
That we sang
It’s been a long time
Old friend
Do you remember
That thing
That happens when
We sing
I just can’t forget
Your tone
Your fabulous rhyme
Your diphthong
You were the lead
You felt wrong
I was the third
Who fell down
Won’t you do it for me
My Freddy
No, just do it for you
My friend
Please just sing
With me my Freddy
Need to hear
You sing with me…
Don’t you dare
To do it my Freddy
Don’t be scared
To do it my friend
Please just sing
With me my Freddy
Need to hear
You sing with me…
Now I sing along
But I sing alone
I wrote you a song
‘cause you’re gone
I shouldn’t call
We know it’s wrong
Now I crawl
For a song
Don’t you dare
To do it my Freddy
Don’t be scared
To do it my friend
Please just sing
With me my Freddy
Need to hear
You sing with me…

Snowing On School Days
04:05
|

Please don’t interrupt your flight
Over your bed
You hear your dad
Singing through your head
Now it’s what you want to see
Now you’re like you want to be
You’re allowed to play beyond the door
You can now refuse to eat some more
It’s snowing on school days
Sun is shining on Sundays
You’re flying to your dreaming pool
Brand new correspondence school
Swimming in a cloud
Far from any crowd
Bring your beloved plush if you like
Run under the warm rain
Dance on top of the mountain
Ride across the rainbows on your bike
Please don’t interrupt your flight
Dream your little dream tonight
Don’t wake up
You’ll hear your dad
Don’t wake up
Don’t wake up
It’s snowing on school days
Sun is shining on Sundays
You’re flying to your dreaming pool
Brand new correspondence school

Nobody's Fault But Mine
02:25
|

I got a bible in my arms (bis)
If I don’t read my soul’ll be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
I had a good love in my home (bis)
If I leave my love behind
Nobody’s fault but mine
Love will cry when I’ll leave
Love will cry when I’ll leave her behind
Nobody’s fault but mine (bis)
Mother she told me how to read (bis)
If I don’t read my soul’ll be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
Sister she told me how to read (bis)
If I don’t read my soul’ll be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault, nobody’s fault,
Nobody’s fault but mine
If I don’t read my soul’ll be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
(bis)
Nobody’s fault, nobody’s fault,
Nobody’s fault but mine
And if I die my soul’ll be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault, nobody’s fault,
Nobody’s fault but mine
And if I die my soul’ll be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine

Song 2
03:03

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy
But nothing is no
No, no
Mmh-hmm…
When I feel heavy metal
Mmh-hmm…
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Mmh-hmm…
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All the time I’m never sure
Why I need you
Mmh-hmm…
I got my head down
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem
No, no
Mmh-hmm…
When I feel heavy metal
Mmh-hmm…
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Mmh-hmm…
Well, I lie and I'm easy
All the time I’m never sure
Why I need you
Mmh-hmm…
Mmh-hmm…

Grey Robe
04:45
|
|||
Strumming my guitar
Singing at random
Trying to find the theme
Of my next song
People passing by
Some hear, some don’t
Then I see a girl
On the car park
Beyond the leaves of the plane trees
I cannot see her face
But her long grey robe
She seems lost but knows that place
Why is she in distress?
Turning and turning around
She comes closer to a car
And intrigues me now
She takes a paper and a pen
Out of a pocket
And writes a few words down
She hangs it on the window
And runs away
In a wind gust I see
The paper and the story
Being blown away
Maybe I make things up
Just one of many stories
Another missed rendezvous today
She will never
Find her lover
He will never know
They will live their life
On their own now
I am the only one to know
He will never
Find her letter
She will never know
They will live their life
On their own now
You’ll be the only ones to know

Wade In The Water

Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Who's that yonder dressed in red
Wade in the water, children
Must be the children that Moses led
God's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water…
Who's that yonder dressed in white
Wade in the water, children
Must be the children of the Israelites
God's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water…
Who's that yonder dressed in blue
Wade in the water, children
Must be the children coming through
God's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water…
If you don't believe I've been redeemed
Wade in the water, children
Just see the holy ghost looking for me
God's gonna trouble the water
Wade in the water
Wade in the water, children
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water

(Out Of My) Loops
02:37
|
|||
Mornings I can’t get out of my bed
Can’t kick thoughts out of my head
Turning, returning in my sheets
Trying to clear my mental shit
I know I’d better sleep or wake and stride
Do anything sweet with the girl on my side
But I’m back on my thoughts, my mental loops
Again, again… She said “Do something man !”
I said I was gonna get out of my loops
Nothing special I’m thinking about
No need to discuss this or that
I have to be pressured, I have to be scared
I think I need to think about it
But the thing is that I’m only thinking
Talking to myself, asking what
What was I just thinking about?
I said I was gonna get out of my loops
I said I was gonna get out of my loops
To my sister
I said I was gonna get out of my loops
To my darlin’
I said I was gonna get out of my loops
Everything passes me by
I make so many, not enjoying any
Can’t focus, always chewing over
Frowning, looping over
“Just loosen up the vicious loop
Run, think over, think about nothing”
So to say, stop the world turning
Can’t stop looping it all
I said I was gonna get out of my loops
I said I was gonna get out of my loops
To my sister
I said I was gonna get out of my loops
To my darlin’
I said I was gonna get out of my loops
Tell me something right
Give me something strong
I can’t handle no more
Drop the pressure down
Let me knock it out
Can’t get out of my loops
Let me knock it out
Can’t get out of my loops
Let me knock it out
Tell me something right
Give me something strong
I can’t handle no more
Drop the pressure down
Help to get out of my loops
Can’t get out of my loops
Help to get out of my loops
Can’t get out of my loops
I wanna get out of my loops
Can’t get out of my loops
I wanna get out of my loops

Satisfied Mind
03:29
|
|||
How many times have you heard someone say,
"If I had money, I would do things my way"
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
Money can't buy back all your youth when you're old,
A friend when you're lonely or peace to your soul
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
When my life is over and my time has run out,
My friends and my loved ones I will leave there's no doubt
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
