Brass In Pocket

I got brass in my pocket
I got powder I'm gonna use it
Intention I'm feeling myself
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Commotion extreme emotion
I've been driving decoy leaning
No reason just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
I'm gonna use my arms
I'm gonna use my legs
I'm gonna use my style
I'm gonna use my senses
I'm gonna use my fingers
I'm gonna use my, my, my imagination
Oh, cause I, I'm gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special, so special
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me
I got rhythm can't miss the beat
It's got me scared it's so sweet
Got something I'm winking at you
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
I'm gonna use my arms
I'm gonna use my legs
I'm gonna use my style
I'm gonna use my senses
I'm gonna use my fingers
I'm gonna use my, my, my imagination
Oh cause I, I'm gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special, so special
I got to have some of your attention
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me,
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me,
Give it to me


Les Yeux Fermes

Sais-tu ce que c'est d'aimer
Quand la vie vous décourage?
Mais il n'y a pas de marécages
Impossibles a traverser
Sais-tu qu'aprés les orages
Le ciel s'envahit de roses?
Passent les bleus, les ecchymoses
Et avec eux les nuages
Mais surtout les yeux fermés
Il n'y a rien que l'on ne voit
Et m&ecircme si c'est mieux comme çà
Vouloir tout garder pour soi
On a beau savoir les choses
On ne s'habitue pas
Au silence qui s'impose
Au silence qui s'impose
Je sais ce que c'est d'aimer
Quand l'amour vous est égal
Je sais les feux de Bengale
Impossible a rallumer
Je sais qu'aprés les naufrages
Du sable fin se dépose
Pour que les bateaux reposent
Et s'endorment sur la plage
Mais aussi les yeux fermés
Je ne verrai toujours que toi
Et tant que ce sera comme çà
Je ne les ouviriai pas
On a beau savoir les choses
On ne s'habitue pas
Au silence qui s'impose
Au silence qui s'impose
Sais-tu ce que c'est d'aimer
Quand l'amour ce fait volage
Dresser d'infinis barrages
Quand la vie part en fumée
Que savons-nous des voyages
Quand les portes restent closes
Que les mémoires s'enclosent
Qu'on en oublie les visages
Alors que les yeux fermés
Je ne verrai toujours que toi
Et tant que ce sera comme çà
Je ne les ouvrirai pas
On a beau savoir les choses
On ne s'habitue pas
Au silence qui s'impose
Au silence qui s'impose
Au ce silence qui s'impose
Au silence qui s'impose


Shipbuilding

Is it worth it?
A new winter's coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
By the women and children,
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
Well I ask you, the boy said
"Dad, they're going to take me to task
But I'll be back by Christmas"
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The results of the shipbuilding
With all the will in the world,
Diving for dear life,
When we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumor that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks we'll be reopening the shipyard
And notifying the next of kin, once again
Oh it's all we're skilled in,
We will be shipbuilding
With all the will in the world,
Diving for dear life,
When we could be diving for pearls
With all the will in the world,
Diving for dear life,
When we could be diving for pearls...


She's Everywhere

In my sleep
I heard her voice so clearly
Whispering my name
I thought that she was here
Walked the streets
Trying to leave her ghost behind me
I saw her face, in everything, so clear
In the city streets around me
In the things I left behind me
In the sky that does surround me
Everywhere, she's all around me
She's all around me
Forget your dreams
Forget the very nature of your dreams
Has gone away
She's living with the straits of yesterday
Forget yourself
Forget the very essence of yourself
Has gone away
Though remember this
She'll never see you through
Waiting for someone to take me too
Somewhere I won't leave behind me
Somewhere I won't leave behind me too
In my life
I've lost what I held dearly
Thrown it all away
And there's nothing takes her place
I pace the bars
Trying to fill the hole inside me
She tore away
There's nothing in her place
In the city's filth around me
In the things I left behind me
In the sky that does surround me
Everywhere, she's all around me
She's all around me
Forget your dreams
Forget the very nature of your dreams
Has gone away
She's living in the blood of yesterday
Forget yourself
Forget the very essence of yourself
Has gone away
Remember this
She'll never see you through
Waiting for some voice to take me too
Somewhere I won't leave behind me
Somewhere I won't leave behind me too
Somewhere I won't leave behind me too
Everywhere she's all around me
Everywhere she's all around me
Everywhere she's all around me
Everywhere she's all around me
Forget your dreams
Forget the very essence of your dreams
Has gone away
Though remember this
She'll never see you through
She'll never, she'll never see you through
She'll never, she'll never see you through
She'll never, she'll never see you through
She'll never, she'll never see you through


Living With The Human Machines

Hey Jesus, won't you come on down?
Why don't you show yourself?
We need you more than ever now.
Preacher, ever since you've gone,
This world's been going crazy,
Going crazy, going wrong.
This is a message to the sky,
This is a message to the sky,
This is a message to the sky,
You gotta help me,
You gotta help me,
You gotta help me to find
That certain something lacking here
In everybody's life.
You gotta give me something
I can wait for everyday
Give me something
I can believe in for today
There ain't one thing
We got going here today
That ain't just simply cruel.
Hey Jesus, who died for this technology
Saving time, it's just saving time,
Saving time ain't what we need,
Hey, hey, hey, something's going wrong,
That something somewhat missing
At the heart of everyone.
Call out my message,
My message to the sky
You gotta give me something
We can believe in for today
Give us something
We can live for here today
There ain't one thing
We got going here today
That ain't just sickly cruel.
Am I living with the human, human, human machines?
Human, human, human machines.
This is a message to the sky
This is a message to the sky
This is a message to the sky
You gotta help me
You gotta help me
You gotta help me somehow
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Give us something
We can live for here today
Give us something
We can believe in for today
There ain't one thing
We got going here today
That ain't just simply cruel.


Perfect Day

Just a perfect day, drink sangria in the park
And then later when it gets dark
We go home
Just a perfect day, feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie too
And then home
Oh, It's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
Just a perfect day, problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun
Just a perfect day, you made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
Someone good, yeah
Oh, It's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You're going to reap just what you sow, reap, reap, reap
You're going to reap just what you sow, reap, reap, reap
You're going to reap just what you sow yeah, reap, reap, reap
You're going to reap just what you sow, reap, reap, reap
You're going to reap just what what you sow yeah,
Reap, reap, reap, what you saw
Oh, what a perfect day


Poor Little Rich Girl

Poor little rich girl, your urban wish girl, better beware
Laughing at danger, virtual stranger, better take care
The life you lead sets all your nerves a jangle
Your love affairs are in a hopeless tangle
Though you're a child dear, your life's a wild typhoon
In lives of leisure, the craze for pleasure, steadily grows
Cocktails and laughter, but what comes after? nobody knows
You're weaving love into a magic pattern
You crawl from room to room
Poor little rich girl, don't drop a stitch too soon
You're only a baby
You're lonely, and maybe someday soon you'll know
By dancing much faster
You're chancing disaster
Time alone will show
Poor little rich girl, your urban wish girl, better beware
Laughing at danger, virtual stranger, better take care
You're weaving love into a magic pattern
You crawl from room to room
Poor little rich girl, don't drop a stitch too soon
Poor little rich girl, don't drop a stitch too soon
Poor little rich girl, don't drop a stitch too soon


Beautiful Loser

You belong among the wild flowers
Picked at the side of the road
You belong among the silent hours and
Broken telephones
You belong among the tv screens
With the sound turned doen again
You belong where's cctv
Watching you every day
Well you beautiful loser
You beautiful lay
You beautiful loser
You're coming down the hard way
