Electric bunch
While starting to rain electric droplets
You can hear the noise of speedboats,
In the river, panic is taking place
On that July afternoon, animals are on the look-out
Tonight the firework will make the forest shake
On the bridge…People are crowding to contemplate
The bunch of ideal freedom
Animals and children are frightened by crackers
All of them squeezing up against their parents
This fake festival sounds like the gold rush with electric stripes
Electric drops fall a little bit harder
Now is coming a lightning after fireworks
At first thunderclap, the skyline is broken
Anger is increasing, everything is about to fall apart
The storm song takes us to an imaginary trip
As the birds improvise bends under summer clouds
Above mountains, countryside, or sea-side
Let’s go for a magical trip, let’s go far away

Octave
Tous les visages tournaient en rond
Tout le village au diapason
Pour s'amuser comme des fous
Un spectacle avec des loups
Aux couteaux tirés vibrait la forêt
Tous aux aguets
Octave racontait que les animaux chantaient
Il changeait les cris en chansons
Tous les visages tournaient en rond
Tout le village ne dit pas "non"
Pour s'amuser comme des fous
Un spectacle avec des loups
Aux couteaux tirés vibrait la forêt
Tous aux aguets
Octave changeait les fusils en flûtes
Les chasseurs en chanteurs
Les lynx et les loups sont rentrés dans leurs terriers
Emportant les chansons qui flottaient

Drooling over Koko Taylor
It’s 9 am in the city centre, no clouds, no rainbow
Looking outside and standing by my window
Inside I can see the lightened rays are so stronger
I’m looking down at the corner of the street
Teenagers are sitting before the coffee house and seem to be alive
I know the music I’ll choose will make the mood of today
Drooling over the singer Koko Taylor
Drooling over the singer Koko Taylor
Listening to “I got what it takes”,
Drinking two mugs of coffee
The singer is joining her musicians together,
Including the saxophonist and the drummer’s beat
I feel like a bee gathering several flowers
The voice I can listen to is getting out from a wizard
Drooling over the singer Koko Taylor
Drooling over the singer Koko Taylor
In my living-room, having a third mug
I am just drooling over Koko Taylor
Feeling as a day dreamer, I am marvelling at the blues singer
After four mugs, the music is still playing great vibrations
While the guys enjoying the sunlight on the pavement area
At home, just feeling like a child listening to cuckoo’s songs
Drooling over the singer Koko Taylor
Drooling over the singer Koko Taylor

En deltaplane
Ça y est, les couleurs ont changé
On survole fin juillet l’océan agité
Ascension en deltaplane comme pour s’approcher du feu qui s’effondrait
Ton regard s’est levé vers le rouge orange qui descendait
A l’horizon la lumière s’éteignait sur la mer
Tu attendais le rayon vert
Ça y est les couleurs ont changé
On survole en février l’océan agité
Ascension en deltaplane comme pour s’approcher du feu qui s’effondrait
Ton regard s’est levé vers le rouge orange qui descendait
A l’horizon la lumière s’éteignait sur la mer
Tu attendais le rayon vert

Green Turtle and Cutterman
Lying on the green grass
What's Green Turtle waiting for?
She lives in her house
But in a garden too
She hides in her shell
She can hear a deafening vibration
The cutter is coming with a noise that she never heard before
The mower is coming nearer
Don't be afraid, you'll be living away
Keep on standing still, you'll be crawling away
Closer and closer, the cutter is sliding nearer
The vibes on the ground
Are stronger and stronger
Mud and stones are flying around
The man cannot see the animal
Why not? He's going on the cut
Suddenly, the turtle is hurt by the blade
Don't be afraid, you'll be living away
Keep on standing still, you'll be crawling away
The man is bending, catching the stone animal and sending it out
While flying, the turtle is changing
She's dropping her shell
Then she's changing into a grass snake
She's unrolling and crawling away
Crawling grass snake has found her way
Don't be afraid, you'll be living away
Keep on standing still, you'll be crawling away

Lightweight
Stream, dive, fly away
Steam
Liquid
Icing
Freezing fog
Stream, dive, fly away
Blinding smog
Yellow wax
Melting iceberg
Ice field
Stream, dive, fly away
Steam and smog
Liquid and wax
Icing and melting iceberg
Freezing fog and iceberg
Stream, dive, fly away

30 wagons
On se souvient du goût du train...
Souviens-toi du bruit du train,
Du train des années 80
Il n'avait pas de frein
Le train des années 80
Il a roulé vite celui-là
Pour un train en chocolat
C'est toujours le même aujourd'hui
avec comme un arrière-goût de salsifi
Tu voudrais avoir à la bouche un goût de bonbon
Mais tu as bouffé trop de poison
Tu as 30 ans et presque toutes tes dents
C'est plutôt mordant, non ?
C'est pas la misère du Tiers-Monde
Pas non plus la blanche colombe
Aujourd'hui le train fait moins de bruit
Tu dois le prendre cette nuit
Ne le rate pas celui-là
C'est ton dernier chocolat
Si tu veux tu peux conduire la locomotive
Tu en auras plein les gencives
Savoure-le bien celui-là
C'est ton dernier chocolat là
En veux-tu en voilà
C'est ton dernier chocolat

Story of a woman (she has come through)
Despite her will, bad vibrations had led her into dire straits
Then she took a breath to generate a new vital line
“Go on Polly, the rock will burst out, you’ll break out the stone
You will be a lively fountain,
You are a solitary rose but you’re not aware of it ‘cause you’re not in a good mood for it”
The scent of whisky brought out an illusive joy, a delusion
But she made a good job of it, then she let the bottle into the sea
Her mood was foggy and gloomy
So her eyes couldn’t see so far
But she wanted to come across the rocky river
Thanks to the vibes of the guitar’s chords, thanks to the vibes of the guitar’s melody
She crept out from the full glass of spoiled water, from the full glass of spoiled memories
The same way as a little snake
A reptile coming out of its shell
The same way as a little snake
A reptile coming to life
As strong as a young fish, she stood up
Now she can contemplate the twilight
From the edge of the grey cliff, face to the light, to the lighthouse
She can now have fun and gaze at the light
She can smile now, now she can smile
Now, she can smile

Petits soldats rêveurs

petits soldats rêveurs
Nous étions des petits soldats
Traversant les rivières sur des petites planches de bois
Comme des fourmis au ralenti les jours de repos
Métro ou vélo quand les jours commençaient trop tôt
Nous rêvions d'évasion en petit avion
Ou en planeur au-dessus des déserts de fleurs
Nous nous sentions tout à l'étroit dans ce débarras
Un seul soupir à la fois
Dimanches et jours fériés duraient le temps d'une chute de feuille
Ou parfois même, le temps d'un clin d'oeil
Nous rêvions d'évasion en petit avion
Ou en planeur au-dessus des déserts de fleurs
Alors nous nous sommes évadés vers une île toute en bois
Fuyant la nausée des villes aux abois
Les horaires du métro envolés comme un feu de paille
Nous avions exhumé une échelle à la bonne taille
Nous rêvions d'évasion en petit avion
Ou en planeur au-dessus des déserts de fleurs
Nous rêvions d'évasion en petit avion
Ou en planeur au-dessus des déserts de fleurs

Shiny lemon juice
You know we could not live together anymore
But we can still joke together, as friends
Yes we can still friendly talk, if you want to
When I think about all the good times
I keep them all and I sadly smile
You’re used to behave as a shiny lemon juice
And inside sweet and sharp
For many years, we thought we’d spend our whole life together
But suddenly the flow of the rivers made us see the opposite
If I call you Shiny lemon juice, you can guess why
You sweet and sharp with no sugar
I wish you the best blossoming from then on
Although we shared so much together, our rivers vanished
Will you accept to remain friends?
I hope you will answer “yes”
You’re used to behave as a shiny lemon juice
And inside sweet and sharp
For many years, we thought we’d spend our whole life together
But suddenly the flow of the rivers made us see the opposite

So far
Once I was meeting Sam Love’s cat’s eyes
She was talking in the meadow to Lisa her goat
She could play the harp with her long hair
She didn’t want to sing but made me laughing
In the mirror her goat’s eyes were always to be seen
We used to play hide and seek
She could play the harp with her long hair
She didn’t want to sing but made me laughing
So the story had a last time, the phone stopped to play one day
Her landscape was too far to be seen
She could play the harp with her long hair
She didn’t want to sing but made me laughing
But where were we going to?
But where were we going to?
