KILLING BUTTERFLIES
Whoops, my baby you cry for a little help
whoops I like to see you help yourself
money does it mean every thing
money doesn’t play all instruments
well you got flesh, breast a beautiful ass
I do believe you sacrifice
Loving experiences for God and science
Whoops, I lose, you win the battle again
I am a friend in your nymphomania brand
Take care when a woman practise her smile
too many scorpions bet for love
you got flesh, breast a beautiful ass
oeh oeh oeh oeh oeh…God is not my father
mother is not my mother
no sister no brother, Ah! I gotta see the light
Too many scorpions hang around your neck
Take the backseat you’re never coming back
Stop playing games with people, okay
all fake conditions, no natural way
Mm all romance
I do believe you satisfy
loving experiences kill butterflies
Don’t kill…butterflies…

DON'T REFUSE, THE BOY, GIRL
He was dreaming of a long vacation
looking for a long explanation
all good in the sun
Where do you come from
No place at all
you gotta be patient
the working, the teaching, the loving, the rumour in the street, the noise inside the house
While trapping love in a circle of blood
yeah violence gotta stop, you can't feel free and be in love…
Ah ah ha ha don’t, refuse the boy, girl
he needs to cry
In the only and lonely rock station
meet the pretty and the chosen, to be happy
their must be action anyway, in their reflection everyday
ah needing you, is thrilling
Be aware, there's a lot more, when you care
if you love her, for ever, it’s better
see the world, it’s you
you gotta win, don’t loose
everybody must have a chance
oh my baby here I go again,
Ah ah ah ! don’t refuse the boy girl
'cause he needs to cry…

While burning skin woman let you in
Oh, you were lonely in town

(to-day) NOT NOTICED T0-DAY
I wasn’t noticed to-day
will a blind man exist
I found it’s hard bringing the dark
into the sunny park
Well I am not noticed to-day
I saw a walking branch
trying to give me a hand
I saw pretty land, stolen by men
get up get down, go on, have really fun
and I am not noticed to-day
(not noticed to-day)
Well in the mirror, right there in the middle
you can see a little star, hero, zero, some outlaw’s silver
you’re taking my time
you're making me blind
you want me to sign
and I am not noticed to-day
Not, noticed to-day
I gotta hold your hand
Trying to understand
Who is your friend
Who’s that man
Get up….. get on….. get up…. get on…
I wasn’t noticed to-day
will a blind man exist
I found it’s hard bringing the dark
into the sunny park
Well I am not noticed to-day

You and I been through quiet a mess, oh honey how we attached, everything immortelle, find someone, someone else yes it was a sooth-say in my breast yes she does get in my blood

IF I KNEW WHERE I'M LOOKING FOR
It's not for diamonds, (no…) it’s not for gold or my way to be in control
well I could find a reason, change with every new season thought life could begin again
Stop the violence I run the highway
to think and think it all over again
If I knew, if I knew if I knew where I'm looking for
I bowed with the corn on the field, learn every day indeed when I’m doubting all
Could see the rain falling, on the heads of the crowd, moving constantly
I'm so tired babe can you advise me so late
I'm awake again If I knew, if I knew
if I knew where I'm looking for
Love release me, love can you please me
to put off the trance where pain settle down
If I knew, if I knew
If I knew where I'm looking for

IN THE SUN
So much young days in the early sixties
looking for heaven, constantly
all these new ways, fooling you
framing ourselves you make it, cool
up I'm trying, down I fall
you only want to feel love again
In the sun, in the sun she's born
So much young days you want to grow old
haven't I be the one who told you so
well in the sun, in the sun she's born
We all are needing, so much love
someone’s leaving you behind
when winter time’s bleeding, slowing down
heated dreams in full cry, knocking the ceiling will you be found all the prayers God is calling now
So much young days you wanna be the one, didn’t I hold you, hold you in the sun in the sun she’s born.
It feels like laughing, you're on the run
it feels like crying, tears won't fall
the only problem is with yourself
maybe the fine lines in your face will be gone haven't I had the right to look in your eyes
haven't I be the one
respecting all your lies
in the sun, in the sun she's born so much young days when you’re the one you wanna be younger, younger, younger in the sun

Not at all….make a choice
Not at all, not at all
we all have a voice (uh telephone)
Yeah I’ll get you, I’ll get you
no no no telephone, oh oh that telephone

BE YOURSELF TOGETHER
He, who tries to hurt you, got no pride at all
He, who doesn't know what it is to suffer
got no life at all
He, who doesn't want for better
don't know how hard it is to fall
Yes it's easy to pretend, you need no helping hand
you need nobody, those who always try to do so clever can’t even understand how close they are, near at the end
so be yourself together
The days are wounded, the night is cold
the world I know is so much better
if you be yourself together
So don't fear those, who cannot see through their eyes
they love to follow, don’t try to please what you can’t satisfy
He, who sells his dreams for a nickel and a dime
can't even love when, yeah you got a chance so be yourself together
No no no I won't hide it no no
no no I won't slow down because so much has to be done
No no no if I wanna cry babe
no no no don’t go down because there's so much love
No you can't fail when it’s love no you can't fail to me because the rain is coming down, be yourself together

when the band plays
and the high trees calls your name babe

SECRETS TO UNDERSTAND
Wanna tell you something but I can’t
wanna tell you anyway….if I can

It feels like a chain
You wanna be open
you try to be clear
You want to be closer but still you do fear
