I just came in off the street
Looking for somewhere to eat
I find a small cafe
I see a girl and then I say

'May I sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'

You don't have to say a thing
You're the song without the sing
The sunlight in your hair
You look so good just sitting there

'May I sit and stare at you for a while?
I'd like the company of your smile'

. . .


There's nothing new around the sun
Everything you think of has been done;
All been done before your time;
Sometime or another
By someone and his brother, yeah...


From the poison comes the flower
Butterfly for just an hour;
But it burns ecstatic fire,
The kind of life we all desire..
Desire...fire....

. . .


White is the colour of night
When there's nobody there,
And you sit in your chair,
Getting drunk on despair.

Red is the colour it's said
That can drive you insane
With pleasure or pain...
It depends on your head.


Brown is the colour of skin
That I'd like to be in,
'cause it doesn't feel right
To be coloured so white.

Blue is the colour of sky
And I won't even try
To explain how or why,
I'll just show you the sky
Just show you the sky

. . .


Rock and roll !! rrrrrrrrrr!!

I'm here lying on my bed
Just trying to hold on to my head
But if you came in through the door
You'll find me crawling on the floor
Just looking for the things you threw away.

You're the one illusion
Causing my confusion
My dreams are yours to borrow
I know I'll get them back tomorrow
And I know your love has turned to wine


(such a shame)

Times are full of pumpkin people
They appear and they fade away
I'm just moonlight's lost disciple
Trying to bring your love my way

I presume your reason's rocking
Do not rise above your pocket
Will you be handsome, will you be rich
Or you're going to wind up in the ditch
Just looking for the things you threw away.

Pisser Dans un Violon

An oyster was a'travellingAlong the ocean road;He'd been some time preparing,And now he'd left the fold.
He was sick of being oysterized,And he wanted to explode, to explode.Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,La la la la la la la la.
He saw a pretty flying fishAnd said if I could have one wishI'd change into a flying fish,And then I would be happy, yes I would.Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,La la la la la la la la.

The flying fish came down to seeJust who had made this plea;And seeing the poor oyster,Said this cannot be.An oyster has to stay inside,And a flying fish must flee, all the time.Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,La la la la la la la la.
As the oyster turned to go away,The flying fish was heard to say,"if I could find a place to stay,I know I would be happy, yes I would."Ooh la, ooh la, ooh la, ooh la,La la la la la la la la.

Underwater

[Нет текста]

. . .


Sitting on the beach like Clarence in Wonderland
I had a dream and I know you will understand
Riding up the beach, it only took a moment
Along came a lady looking for amusement
She came up to me and everything was smiling
And then she said something, it sounded like a violin
Let's go to my chateau, we could have a good time
Drinking lots of sky wine
Miss Juliet Kate, Queen of the moon
We're gonna get there soon
Gonna get there soon
There's no doubt about it
Miss Juliet Kate, Queen of the moon
We're gonna get there soon
Gonna get there soon
Miss Juliet Kate, Queen of the moon in June and this tune
We're gonna get there soon, soon. soon, soon

. . .


I have dreams of summer skys,
Close my eyes and think of things that make me glad,
Don't see why I should be sad,
Every day, yeah,
Watch the sun turn red and green,
All I've seen is you.
And I'm sitting in my room,
Find a tune and make believe I'm on a star,
Got to find out where you are,
Why you stay,
Why you play your soft guitar from so far away,
I watch every sunrise,
Hear music change in pitch,
Hear whispers on the stage,
I'm just watching from my cage,
Every evening finds its wings,
Pretty things sound,
Dancing sounds of summer rain,
Takes me off the ground again,
Makes me high,
Don't have time to sit around,
Might come down to you.
I watch every sunrise,
Hear music change in pitch,
Hear whispers on the stage,
I'm just watching from my cage,
You watch every sunrise,
Hear music change in pitch,
Hear whispers on the stage,
I'm just watching from my cage,

. . .


How far can anyone go and to where,
How much can anyone do and to who,
Oh, oh, oh girl,
I'm so blue girl,
What can I do?
I believe in you.
How far can anyone go and to where,
How much can anyone do and to who,
Oh, oh, oh girl,
I'm so blue girl,
Take a look around,
What's that you've found.
There'll come a time when you won't understand the position of,
Someone you tried and decided to gain acquisition of.
How far can anyone go and to where,
How much can anyone do and to who,
Oh, oh, oh girl,
I'm so blue girl,
What can I do?
I believe in you.

. . .


Spent an awful lot of time making tunes and making rhymes
Things that other people do, yeah
From this heap of words and rhyme
I never really gave much time to something just for you, yeah

Oh Gemini child you know I love you
I don't really have to tell you
Cause you know damn well that I do

Anyway it's not so much what I say as
What I do for you girl
So here's a song that I thought of long ago
That really comes from you, yeah

Gemini child, you make life come alive
Suddenly there's so much loving to share with you

And I do Gemini child, you make life come alive
Suddenly there's so much loving to share with you

And I do Oh Gemini child you know I love you
I don't really have to tell you
Cause you know damn well that I do

. . .


J'etais perdu dans la rue
fatigue et mal au cul
J'ai vu un petit cafe
avec une fille dedans
et je lui disais

'Puis-je m'asseoir aupres de toi
pour te regarder?
J'aimerais la compagnie de ton soleil.

Je ne veux pas plus que ca
Non, ca n'est pas une grande histoire
Encore un beau sourire
et apres ca je peux partir

'Puis-je m'asseoir aupres de toi
pour te regarder?
J'aimerais bien la compagnie de ton soleil.

. . .


Everything you do is true as long as you believe it
And everything you say is play and that's how you should treat it
And everyone is high until there's something makes them low
That's when you should stay, that's not the time to go
No, no, no, no, no, no
That's when you should stay and let your love just flow

Lady lady won't you come here quick
This whisky and wine is making me sick
I want you now and I don't t care why
You crazy beautiful butterfly
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Ask me a question and I'll tell you a lie
Ask me another, I'll spit in your eye
Don't like to leave you but I know I can't stay
So just keep lovin' in your butterfly way
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Too much and too many things on my mind
Can't make a story of things I can't find
Rock and roll music playin' in my head
Gonna keep on dancin' till I drop down dead
It could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say

Lady lady won't you come here quick
Cause these evil drugs are makin' me sick
I want you now and I don't care why
You crazy beautiful butterfly
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Magical Margaret
You know you're so high above
You fill my head with music
My heart with love
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Magical Margaret....
Magical butterfly

You say you like my shirt
My shirt
You say you like my hat
My hat
Oh but you never say you like me
Or something nice like that
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
Is it just an envelope that you can see?
