paroles de l'album animal sense

BANG!

let me tell you about this man
who wanted to live a very, very long life
so he never smoked, never drank,
only put healthy food in his mouth
he exercised regularly
he had this thing about jogging
well, i have to admit, at 33, he had a very nice body
that sunday morning, though,
his wife tried to hold him up in bed for a cuddle
so she started kissing him, nibbling his ear lobe
nothing would do

he put on his running gear
he put on his running shoes
then he started running, when
out of the blue

it came bang, bang, bang, bang on the door

he never saw the truck that hit him
but in the split second before he passed away,
he saw all the lives he'd never lived,
too scared to hurt his sacred body

all the parties he never went to
all the girls he never kissed
all the laughs he never had
the emotions he never felt
damn!

it came bang, bang, bang, bang on the door

now what can you tell me
who controls our fate
give us just a hint
and stop laughing

ant then there was this other man, same age,
lived his life to the full
parties, jumps, excesses of all kinds,
every day had to be special
but right before his heart took him away
he saw himself growing old
thought: man, it would have been so great
why wouldn't i just slow down

it came bang, bang, bang, bang on the door




BELIEVE

do you believe in love, handsome man
'cause i might just have some, if you will
you could be my unofficial mate
until you find your fate

believe is hard to do
believe is hard not to do

do i think it is all just a lie
not when i see behind your eyes
back there where you can't hide
your words are no disguise

so many songs for you to melt
if only i had been the king
but it only sounds desperate
when a woman sings it

so what if we're just both going mad
will this curse ever end
when will we lift that weight
hanging over our heads




MY EGO TRIP

hey little sister, you look so fine
and you sing like an angel
like a goddess of some kind
you little rock chick
so with your talent and my genius
i'm sure we could mend the world
get them to at least adore us
'cause i deserve to be worshipped

but if you don't jump into my bed
then you're shit, you're shit
if you don't follow my ego trip
then you're shit, you're shit

hey little sister, you move so fine
and you shine and you glitter
like a diva of some kind
and i want you in my club
'cause with your talent and my genius
i'm sure we could make them sway
get them to understand better
that i'm only doing this for them

hey little sister, you look so fine
and you sing like an angel
like a goddess of some kind
i'd like to get my hands on you




GREEN, RED AND FEAR

whatever happened to human rights
in the land of free, in the land of might
at the end of the till an old man
is filling up a paper bag

'cause whatever age you're at
some societies still make you fight
no one there to support your sunset
age don't bring no more respect

how can you still believe
that you can save the world
you'd need humanity
show us some, now can you

in the land of free in the land of might
in the land of fear in the land of might

a black man hails a cab
new york city is getting hot
but not one will stop to pick him
as if his colour were a sin

and maybe i sound like
some 60s' folk singer's come back
singing human love is so naïve
but have we learned a single thing




THEN SHE GOES

following the sea of her mind
she goes longing for a sign
and then she goes falling in his arms
un-expecting and lost

then she goes looking for a way
to let her lust end, go astray
all she can find is confusion
animal instinct, reason

i don't think it is love, babe
and i don't want to hurt you
so please don't fall in love, babe
and i won't sell my soul yet

following the sea of her heart
she goes falling deeper
and despite all the risks at stake
she goes touching his hands

it seems all she wants
is too far from him
but now what she wants
is to be with him
wrap up in his arms
to forget him
but then reason strikes
and then she comes clean




IT'S ALL ABOUT MEN

one day i went out for love
not to feel so lonely no more
wanted to touch the sky above
but all i could taste was the void

it's always just about men
we love we care we hope we share

then i found that special love
it was so deep and true
but then sweetness turned sour
and i turned blue

and now i got this special muse
but he says he don't want me
so all i can do is sing the blues
'cause if you're a woman and if you're straight
i'm sure you'll agree




GEEK AND THE BIRD

would you care for a little dance with me
i'm so shy i might lose my empathy
so please forgive me if my words fall wrong
i'm so clumsy it's not my fault

your eyes are so beautiful
they make me want to reach the sky
your eyes are so beautiful
they make me want to be a better man
your eyes are so beautiful
or at least become one
your eyes are so beautiful
how could i be worthy of them

would you care for a little walk with me
i'm scared of darkness and i need to wee
meanwhile i'll tell you all about the stars
their density, their distance

your eyes are so beautiful
they make me want to reach the sky
your eyes are so beautiful
they make me want to be a better man
your eyes are so beautiful
how could i be worthy of them
your eyes are so beautiful
but now they're looking at another man

so what if i'm a geek and you're a princess
at least i know the meaning of respect
don't bet everything on beauty
'cause looks just fade away

your eyes are so beautiful
they make me want to be a good man
your eyes are so beautiful
but now they're looking at another one
your eyes are so beautiful
i might not be worthy of them
your eyes are so beautiful
but he won't love you as i can




WHERE ARE WE GOING

one day i leaned my head back
looked at the stars, so many of them
i asked if there was
an answer for me
i dared to ask if there was
an answer for me
or if i would always wonder
about it all

then i was only seventeen, grew up wondering
what was above us, in between
what it meant to me
now, i'm a bit older, still have the same questions
about humanity and where
where we're going

one day i switched on the tv started wondering
what there was above us, in between
w hat we all meant to it
i switched it off
left the house ran far but still found the same questions
about fraternity and where
where we're going

and then sometimes a human disaster makes you stop
wondering
what's above us, what's in between
what our lives mean to it

and then we find it deep within ourselves
the strength to love and really care
such a shame it's always too late we all know
where we're going
where we're going




I'LL FIND A WAY HOME

i have to tell you
about this little man
who thought he could do
anything he put in his mind

but then he found a little
stumbling bloc in sight
and he forgot his name and hers
and just went riding back

poor little girl, i was willing to be
another mistress to you
but there was someone outside of me
i couldn't hold on to

if the sea covers my tracks
i'll find a way to fly
and if the wind blows my steps
the way home will just be next

poor little girl, i was willing to be
another mistress to you
but there was someone outside of me
i couldn't hold on to

so when i cry
you have to see beyond the tears
and see what's inside
what i can't sing

if the sea covers my tracks
i'll find a way to fly
and if the wind blows my steps
the way home will just be next




I WON'T SAY YOU DON'T LOVE ME (NO MORE)

you made your bed
now you can lie, lie in it
you're no victim
it would be too easy
despite what you think
it wasn't so easy for me
i'll remind you if i may
you left me

then i turned my head and the feeling was gone
but i lived you baby, i loved you baby
you say it wasn't fair but i'm left on my own
i'm going crazy, i'm going crazy

you made your bed
out of thorns, i'd swear
bitter is your game
ungratefulness is looming

then i turned my head and the feeling was gone
but i lived you baby, i loved you baby
you say it wasn't fair but i'm left on my own
i'm going crazy, i'm going crazy
i wish i could tear my guts, tear my heart
'cause i feel so lonely, feel so lonely baby
but i won't complain to you or no one
unlike you baby, i'll hide my tears

i won't say you don't love me
i won't say you don't love me
no more
i won't say you don't love me
