Hey It’s 6 o’clock
Come on Paul, wake up
You’ve got things to do, I’m waiting for you
He doesn’t care it’s raining
he’s a man in action
and when its’ snowing
he still works with passion
He’s strong like a superhero
he’s a construction man
He builds again and again
he builds
He’s a construction man
He’s a stud, yes he is
It’s Saturday night
it’s time for fun
let’s go downtown
and find someone
he’s a stud, and all would go for it
he’s a construction man
Brick after brick
he’s a stud
Oh man, your so sexy
Oh man, you’re a star
Oh man, you’re a warrior
Oh man, a sweetheart
Oh man, you’re a bloke
Oh man, such a stud
Oh man, you’re a king
Oh man, hot as hell
Oh man
Oh man
Oh man
Oh man
he’s a construction man
he’s a construction man
he’s a construction man

Forgotten my name, I’m going insane
It must be my brain, that is screwed again
It’s not a big deal, the way I just feel
let’s take one more pill, this is so unreal
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I’m on the wave, I’m on the edge
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I’m on the scene, Living my dream
Happy in my shoes
I sing the blues
Happy in my shoes
let’s have a booze
I’m a craze bear, On roller coaster
I’m sniffing the air, I’m shaking my fur
I’m a loco man, Who said borderline?
I’m higher than high, I’m sure I can fly
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I’m on the wave, I’m on the edge
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I’m on the scene, Living my dream
Happy in my shoes
I sing the blues
Happy in my shoes
let’s have a booze
Happy in my shoes, happy in my red shoes, I sing the blues
Happy in my shoes, happy in my red shoes, let’s have a booze
Happy in my shoes, happy in my red shoes, I sing the blues
Happy in my shoes, happy in my red shoes, let’s have a booze
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I’m on the wave, I’m on the edge
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I’m on the scene, Living my dream
Happy in my shoes
I sing the blues
Happy in my shoes
let’s have a booze
All together now!

Dig your Soul
03:49
|
|
||
You’re a true mystery to everybody
A lovable enigma for all the pretenders
But I won’t give up cause I’m sure your worth it
and I want to find out, even if it hurts
I will dig your soul
I will dig your soul
And open up your heart
I will dig your soul
When I look in your eyes I see complex landscapes
Untold painful stories, buried in a grave
Can I be the one to free you from your nightmares
I’ll take the risk, I’ll play the game, if you dare
I will dig your soul
I will dig your soul
And open up your heart
I will dig your soul
Will you give me the key, and will I set you free?
Je senai ton ami, je senai ton amant
I’ve got so much to give, we’ve got so much to share
Laise moi penetrer dans ton jardin secret
I will dig your soul
I will dig your soul
And open up your heart
I will dig your soul
I will dig your soul
I will dig your soul
And open up your heart
I will dig your soul

Expectations
04:01

What a crazy night
I wish it would never end
You dance like a reptile
You move like and angel
I feel the building heat, my heart is beating fast
It’s a real burning fire made of love and desire
And you stare at me
With a smile on your face
You look so sexy your stunning baby
I start to make plans, when you brush against me
I want you badly, maintenant et ici
And there’s some people shaking on the dance floor
But it’s all about you, its’s all about you baby
All about you and me
I just want to dance now, I just want to kiss you now
(I don’t want to lose you, I won’t stand to lose you now)
I just want to dance now, I just want to kiss you now
(I don’t want to lose you, I won’t stand to lose you now)
And the night goes on and on
Our words of expectations
In the kingdom of temptation
I want to talk to you, I want to know you
But there’s always strangers between me and you
And I drink too much
and I try too hard
And I get lost, and where are you now
I’m looking for you
Oh, there you are
Back on the dancefloor, ready for more
And there’s some people shaking on the dance floor
But it’s all about you, its’s all about you baby
All about you and me
I just want to dance now, I just want to kiss you now
(I don’t want to lose you, I won’t stand to lose you now)
I just want to dance now, I just want to kiss you now
(I don’t want to lose you, I won’t stand to lose you now)
You dance like a reptile, you move like an angel
(I don’t want to lose you, I won’t stand to lose you now)
Temptation and desire
(I don’t want to lose you, I won’t stand to lose you now)

Lucky Number
03:38
|
|
||
I wake up early morning, and your lying close to me
It looks like I am dreaming, but your my reality
I take your hand in mine, and I whisper to your ear
I love you until the end of time, it won’t be tears for fear
Your my temptation
Sensation
Your my addiction
my satisfaction
I’ve been waiting for this moment, I’ve been hoping so many times
That you would send me a sign, that you would hold me in your arms
And there’s something I can say, is that love has found its way
It has grown from day to day, it was meant to be this way
Your my temptation
Sensation
Your my addiction
my satisfaction
Temptation
Sensation
Addiction
Satisfaction

Gifted for Love
03:38
|
|
||
Come on baby, let me tell you how much I fancy you
you’re not the kind of person, I thought I could be, attracted to
You’ve got a something
I can’t explain
a true mystery
Is it the way you move?
Is it the way you look into my eyes?
Gifted for love
You turn the darkness into light
Gifted for love
You turn my cries into a smile
Gifted for love
You turn the rain into sunshine
Gifted for love
And we’re dancing with the stars
Let me tell you, that I’m in love with your monkey face
I’m going to try anything, anything to get you into my life
Under the ugly
I feel there is a stunning beauty
Some promises, into your eyes
the fire burns inside
Gifted for love
You turn the darkness into light
Gifted for love
You turn my cries into a smile
Gifted for love
You turn the rain into sunshine
Gifted for love
And we’re dancing with the stars

Let's do it!
04:27

This is one of those terrible days
While listening to the news on TV
Makes you feel sick and ashamed of the way
Some of us didn’t learn from yesterday
You’re a bunch of idiots owning guns
Is it the only way you can have fun
How many victims of Smith and Weston
What else you need to learn your lesson?
We should stand all together as one
come on, let’s go
And let’s fight against the jungle law
Let’s do it, right now
right now
(Let’s do it, let’s do it)
What a wonderful present for his birthday
Time to learn how to shoot, your six today
our family will go to church on Sunday
Just to remember what Jesus Christ said
And it’s always the same old story
Some of us will never learn from history
You know something, you’re not the majority
Most of the people want to live in harmony
We should stand all together as one
come on, let’s go
And let’s fight against the jungle law
let’s do it, right now
right now
(Let’s do it, let’s do it)
You may think we are just dreamers
******************* killers
let’s stand up for peace together
In the end we will be the winner
let’s do it now
We should stand all together as one
come on, let’s go
And let’s fight against the jungle law
Let’s do it, right now
right now
(Let’s do it, let’s do it)

Sugar Daddy
05:29
|
|
||
I can be a bear, only if you dare
I can be a wolf, even a werewolf
I can be a tiger, or a cuddly lover
I can be vicious, it will be delicious
But I won’t be, no I won’t be
I won’t be your sugar daddy
I won’t be, no I won’t be
I won’t be your sugar daddy
I can be a lion, a bit of a demon
I can be a tough guy, you will get what you buy
I can be romantic, but never platonic
I can be a witch, a real dirty bitch
But I won’t be, no I won’t be
I won’t be your sugar daddy
I won’t be, no I won’t be
I won’t be your sugar daddy
I won’t be, no I won’t be
I won’t be your sugar daddy
I won’t be, no I won’t be
I won’t be your sugar daddy
I won’t be, no I won’t be
I won’t be your sugar daddy
I won’t be, no I won’t be
I won’t be your sugar daddy
Alright come on Paul, show me what you can do
Don’t be so shy, play that guitar…..
Go to the lead break……

Trapped in the 80's
04:00
|
|

Welcome to the sixties
I’m just a little boy
and my world is a big toy
1967
listening too Arnold Lane
and with a little help from my friends
The boys in one line
and the girls ion another one
you are too young to drink red wine
black and white television
gave no satisfaction
school is boring
I need some action
Here comes the seventies
It’s about peace and love
Sex, drugs and rock and roll
I bought a synthesiser
that had an arpeggiator
and made the sound of thunder
Every weekend with my friends
we were having fun
happiness was a very warm gun
Sunday bloody Sunday
was a real view experience
One step beyond was a brand new dance
I really loved the eighties
the music and the parties
and if you feel like me
Just sing along with me
We are trapped in the 80’s
trapped in the 80’s
and we are trapped in the 80’s
trapped in the 80’s

Mondays and Novembers

Monday morning, I feel like a piece of shit
Tuesday morning, I hate this fucking world
Wednesday morning, I’m knackered and down, down, down
Thursday morning if I could speed the time
Friday evening, your always on my mind
January and February
Feet frozen and running nose
March and April
it rains so much, I start to rust
May and June
now it’s warming and I feel good
July
we’re naked on the beach
August
Now my love, it’s time for love
Do you fancy going in this pub?
Yip
So what would you like to drink?
I’ll have a margarita, and you?
Hmmm… I think I’ll do the same
This band is really good, is this Band of Bears?
It certainly is, and I know that bass player, that’s Justin Spooner
He is really grooving!
He is, and you know, the singer is French!
Really!?
Yep!
It’s so busy, I just can’t get to the bar
Let’s go somewhere else
Oh.. ok
Monday morning, I feel like a piece of shit
Tuesday morning, I hate this fucking world
Wednesday morning, I’m knackered and down, down, down
Thursday morning if I could speed the time
Friday evening, your always on my mind
That’s enough now….

An unexpected affair
04:12
|
|

Daddy
Has got secrets
He never tells
Anybody, even Mommy
Oh. Daddy
I look at you
but who are you?
Oh, daddy tell me
who’s the real you?
I get the feeling
A piece is missing
Something your hiding
And I’m wondering
Daddies got an affair
Oh gosh, the kind you’ll never guess
Daddies got an affair
Oh boy, I can tell it’s a mess
Yesterday
I finally found out
What is going on
That keeps you distant from your family
Oh Daddy
I saw you with that guy
Hand in Hand
And that kiss you gave him
Was not the kiss of a friend
I get the feeling
A piece is missing
Something your hiding
And I’m wondering
Daddies got an affair
Oh gosh, the kind you’ll never guess
Daddies got an affair
Oh boy, I can tell it’s a mess
Daddies got an affair
Oh gosh, the kind you’ll never guess
Daddies got an affair
Oh boy, I can tell it’s a mess

Your down to earth, I’m a dreamer
You like mornings, I’m a night bird
You fancy blue, and I do red
you like shopping, I prefer bed
You say hello, Je dis bonjour
You vote UKIP, I am labour
You love your tea, I do coffee
Your pragmatic, I’m sex addict
Oh no, this is not a good start
Oh yes, there’s something we both like
You and me, we can dance together
Cause I see, we both like each other
You and me, let’s dance together
And we shall see, how we feel together
Tonight
You go to gym, while I drink gin
You are Brexit, I am remain
You like soft drinks, I prefer wine
you like flirting, I got a rhyme
You love your mum, I like your dad
you are Christian, I am pagan
You like talking, I love kissing
You love your hair, I like to swear
Oh no, this is not a good start
Oh yes, there’s something we both like
You and me, we can dance together
Cause I see, we both like each other
You and me, let’s dance together
And we shall see, how we feel together
Tonight
Now listen baby, come closer
One step forward
do the catwalk
you look so good
you turn me on
Don’t switch me off
I’m in a trance
Give me that dance
Shake your body, closer to me
Shake your body, we’re going to dance all night
You and me, we can dance together
Cause I see, we both like each other
You and me, let’s dance together
And we shall see, how we feel together
Tonight

Retroviseur

Let’s go back in time before the bloom
Ninety seven felt just like a boom
Rock and roll was what we were waiting for
But that was not enough we wanted more
With three guitar chords I made my first song
(retroviseur)
Not really in tune but loads of patience
(retroviseur)
Then I met you guys and here come the band
(retroviseur)
Life was good, we were flying up the ground
I, look backward today I’m in the mood
I, just remember how these times were good
My, souvenirs are coming like a flood
What you gonna do, what you gonna do now?
What you gonna do now?
From stage to stage, from town to town
The band became famous, we had a bunch of fans
Our agent was a thief, but the show was great
The music was good, and the band did the trick
In nineteen ninety six we signed a record deal
The agent said “vous devec changer de style”
It would be better if you could sing in French
That’s the way it has to be if you want to be ‘trend’
I, look backward today I’m in the mood
I, just remember how these times were good
My, souvenirs are coming like a flood
What you gonna do, what you gonna do now?
What you gonna do now?
I, look backward today I’m in the mood
I, just remember how these times were good
My, souvenirs are coming like a flood
What you gonna do, what you gonna do now?
What you gonna do now?

Hey you, let me tell you something
You’re not fooling anyone, anymore
Who do you think you are?
I’m gonna tell you now
A stinking avatar, a falling superstar
A long, long time ago, we believed in you
you were selling us, your dream world
but everything was fake like a huge plastic cake
Sleep human race says the venomous snake
Here is your perfect world
I don’t believe a word
Here is your perfect world
A stinking turd
This is the perfect world
Here is your fucking lies
And we’re left with our cries and no exit to buy
Hyperficial, superficial, artificial
After the rise the fall
Hyperficial, superficial, artificial
Oh, your highway to progress
Is leading to this mess
You wanted more and more, et tu es deja mort
It’s global warming
It’s a global warning
So time to dance to the sound of silence
Here is your perfect world
I don’t believe a word
Here is your perfect world
A stinking turd
This is the perfect world
Here is your fucking lies
And we’re left with our cries and no exit to buy
Hyperficial, superficial, artificial
After the rise the fall
Hyperficial, superficial, artificial
It’s so incredible, the way we messed it all
Cause we are all human after all
It’s the same old story, there’s nothing new on it
under the spinning galaxy
