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 02:39
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 02:40
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 02:42
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 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 03:02
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?
