Hymne � l'Amour (J. Buckley/G. Lucas)

Et la terre peut bien s'écrouler
Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes
Je me fous du monde entier
Tant qu'l'amour inond'ra mes matins
Tant que mon corps frémira sous tes mains
Peu m'importe les problèmes
Mon amour puisque tu m'aimes

J'irais jusqu'au bout du monde
Je me ferais teindre en blonde
Si tu me le demandais
J'irais décrocher la lune
J'irais voler la fortune
Si tu me le demandais

Je renierais ma patrie
Je renierais mes amis
Si tu me le demandais
On peut bien rire de moi
Je ferais n'importe quoi
Si tu me le demandais

Si un jour la vie t'arrache à moi
Si tu meurs que tu sois loin de moi
Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes
Car moi je mourrais aussi
Nous aurons pour nous l'éternité
Dans le bleu de toute l'immensité
Dans le ciel plus de problèmes
Mon amour crois-tu qu'on s'aime
Dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment

English Translation

if the sun should tumble from the sky
if the sea should suddenly run dry
if you love me, really love me
let it happen darling, i don't care

shall i catch a shooting star
shall i bring it where you are
if you want me to, i will
you can set me any task
i'll do anything you ask
if you'll only love me still

when at last, our life on earth is through
i will spend eternity with you
if you love me, really love me
let it happen darling, i won't care

How Long Will It Take (Pat Kelly)

Stood along this lonely track watching the trains speed along
Weep, oh willow weep, let me hear your song
So that my soul will be filled with joy
My heart and I, it alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked,
"How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
Tell me sister, oh how long

Listen to me
As I try my best not to sigh
I still feel the tears on my face
I'm hated by you, and you're loved by me
Though I can't take it, I try not to break it
My heart and I, it alone knows the hex I bear, so I asked,
"How long, how long will it take me to be your man again?"
Oh tell me now, how long?

As I try my best not to sigh
I still feel the tears on my face
I'm hated by you, and you're loved by me
Though I can't take it, I try not to break it
My heart and I...

Mojo Pin (J. Buckley / G. Lucas)

It's a song about a dream

Well i'm lying in my bed
The blanket is warm
This body will never be safe from harm
Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
Touch my skin to keep me whole

If only you'd come back to me
If you laid at my side
I wouldn't need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied

Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so

Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster's flesh
Drop down we two to serve and pray to love
Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven
Ageless, ageless
I'm there in your arms

Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
So, so...

The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more
Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more
Well it's you I've waited my life to see
It's you I've searched so hard for...

Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
So, black black black black beauty...

Song To No One (J. Buckley / G. Lucas)

Oooohhhhhhhhhh

Back when I was a baby, a baby saying his prayers,
prayers soft and lonely, lonely all these days,
days that meld into nothing, and nothing left for a boy
but to hide his dreams away, hide all his dreams away

Daisies after daisies, a daisy for your floor
Ah days that melt into nothing
A promise piled to the door,
door the door was open
There's nothing left for a boy but to hide these dreams away
�All those dreams decay

Laura�know this song for always
Laura�show this song to no one

I had to fight for these moments, sweet moments of mine
Each line must blossom and die but my song comes strong in time
Nothing left for a boy, nothing left for a boy
But to hide those dreams away, all those dreams decay

Laura�know this song for always
Laura�show this song to no one

Oh I had to fight for these moments, these sweet moments of mine
Each line must blossom , but my song comes strong in time
Although the door was open, there's nothing left for you now
But to hide your dreams away till they come into play

Laura�know this song for always
Laura�show this song to no one
Laura�know this song for always
Laura...Laura�show this song to no one
Show this song to no one

Grace (J. Buckley / G. Lucas)

There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Well it's my time coming, i'm not afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
But she cries to the clicking of time
Of time

Wait in the fire...

And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and i believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain
I might leave
Leave behind

Wait in the fire...

And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow

Satisfied Mind (J.Hayes/J.Rhodes)

How Many Times, Have u Heard Someone Say,
If I Had Money, I Would Do Things My Way.
But Little They Know, That It's So Hard To Find
One Rich Man In Ten, With A Satisfied Mind.

Money Can't Buy Back, All Your Youth When Your Old
A Friend When Your Lonley, Or Peace To Your Soul
The Wealtiest Person, Is A Pauper At Times
Compared To The Man, With a Satisfied Mind.

When My Life Is Over, And My Time Has Run Out,
My Friends and My Lovers, I Will Leave, Theres No Doubt
But One Things For Certain, When It Comes My Time
I'll Leave This Old World With A Satisfied Mind
But One Things For Certain, When It Comes My Time, Oh Yeah
I'll Leave This Old World With A Satisfied Mind mind mind, mind mind,
Satisfied Mind.

Cruel (J. Buckley / G. Lucas)

Oh Yeah

Born no longer just a baby
Always trying to keep in one place for long, oh long enough to sleep
Oh sleep and dreams are here the same
[Inaudible] got no rest they'll no longer speak to you

Moving on again
I'm moving�moving on again
Well I'm moving�moving on again
Baby�you're so cruel

You're cruel to yourself, so you never understand,
Boy'l never do ya no harm,
For you to build the frame of the bed you sleep upon.
So spill your milk and honey, get your kicks off your next man.
Bigger than you think and make him go, go on.

Make him move on, moving on again
Oh he's moving�moving on again
Baby, you're so cruel

They thought about the dream is so real now
These are dreams of mine
You're so aimless, so aimless
You baby, you're so cruel
You're so cruel

Wonder what your gonna think of yourself when the phone calls fade away,
As you hold his shoulders
Did you think it would come to this day?
Ask yourself why he's off when others surround you
He was one of many on the day he found you

Uh-huh, you're moving, moving on again
Yeah, you're moving, moving on again
Yeah, you're moving, moving on again

Baby, you're so cruel

She Is Free (Melody & Lyrics by Jeff Buckley / Chords & Arrangement by Gary Lucas)

Cold wind blow this waiting blood,
Flow into my ashen arms.
Ice stream prick my sleeping skin.
She is like the so black time,
Race on in and never go away.
She's just like this wind.

Black Car, with your creaking wheel,
Take away these thoughts of mine.

Once there was a crazy man
Staring from his drunken eyes,
Staring stony into her elbow's way
Stared at me and tellin' me,
'Stead of 'oh, poor lonely me,
I claw the bed and I claw my hair.

Oh black car, with your creaking wheel,
Take away these thoughts of mine.
Pictures sing in rhythm with 'em.
Dig the holes for me to sleep inside.

She is free,
A shadow crossing the sky,
Free from hope and this misery.
She's beautiful, so beautiful away from me.
She is free.
She is free.

Instead of me is this creaking wheel,
Take away these thoughts of mine
Pictures sing in rhythm with 'em
Dig the holes for me to sleep inside

Black car, with your creaking wheels
Take away these thoughts of mine
Catch us sing in rhythm with 'em.
Dig both holes for me to sleep inside

She is free.
Shadow crossing the sky.
Free from hope and this misery.
So beautiful away from me.
She is free.
She is free

Harem Man (J. Buckley / G. Lucas)

Alright alright alright alright�woah
Well�yeah
Well I'm your Harem man, I was paid two by two
Well I'm your Harem man, I will sing and dance for you
Oh baby say it
my love is great (inaudible)

Well well
Lay your nails down till they rake over me
Oh sweet pussy cat rake your nails all over me
Oh you're so sweet, your pussy cat I'm gonna show you where it's at
Why don't you think I can [inaudible] free
I wanna be your fire when it's cold
It's raining outside mama�don't wait until you get too old
Take home a liter and push it in me
I wanna inject you in my blood
I wanna set you free

Well well

? My world (Repeated), My Love

I wanna be your Harem man
Oh baby save you, do anything I can
I'll keep you waiting in a room of my own
A man can't be free until he's older
My, my my (repeated) woman, man

I wanna be your Harem man

I wish I was your $5 dollar bill
Spend all your money, pay all your thrills
I wish I could be your walking shoes, step all over me
and take away my blues

My world, my love

I wish I was you�.

Malign Fiesta (No Soul) (J. Buckley / G. Lucas)

You got your 24 swastika tattoo yesterday
[inaudible]
You got your 24 karat gold pierced earring in your nose.
Twenty-four years and you still don't know which way the wind blows.

You got no...you got no

You know when [inaudible] disease [inaudible] violence
[inaudible] wish away your parents.
You got yourself a girl with the face and the voice of a whore.
You don't want a phone.
But, you don't know what you kill yourself for anymore.

You got no...you got no...you got no...you got no

You're no soul rebel if you rip on your skin
You're no soul rebel with your boot in your shin
You no soul rebel, it's your own chance to fight
You're just the same as those fat old bastards you hate with no soul.

You call yourself a rebel but you call that man a nigger like they do
You call yourself a rebel but a woman [inaudible] like they do
You call yourself a rebel but you don't talk, act, walk and piss like they do
You got no room, no soul, no out, no phone
So whadya got? A God to pray to?

You got no...you got no...you got no

You're no soul rebel if you spit on your sister
You're no soul rebel with your boot on your shin
You no soul rebel, it's your last chance to fight
You're just the same as those fat old bastards you hate with no

You call yourself a rebel but you call a man a nigger like they do
You call yourself a rebel but you put your woman down like they do
You call yourself a rebel but you rape, scheme and lie like they do
You got no woman, no song, no drone
So what have you got, a God to pray to?

You got no...you got no...you got no...you got no

You're no soul rebel if you rip on your skin
You're no soul rebel with your boot in your shin
You no soul rebel, it's your own chance to fight
You're just the same as those fat old bastards you hate with no

You got no...you got no...you got no
