Tamatave

Je veux sentir le sable
Entre mes doigts de pieds
Tamatave ma petite rouquine
Elle la sait

Long grass dancing in the day
Blue sky palm trees gently sway
I come from a land down in sun
Sit on the beach and watch the waves run

I need the sand between my toes
Tamatave my red hair girl she knows

Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler
Tommasina I hear you calling me
Tamatave je t'entends m'appeler

I feel so strange on city streets
I got these big shoes on my feet
I come from a land down in sun
Sit on the beach and watch the waves run

Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay
Tommasina I hear you calling me
Tamatave je ton ton mapelay

Teach Me To Dance

I'm a boat without an ocean
I'm a boat without a wave
I'm a sail without a strong wind
And i want someone to save, to save me

Teach me to dance

I'm a car without a driver
I'm a plane without a wing
I see you standing by my doorway
But i don't know how to let you in

Teach me to dance

I've been watching too much tv
I can't feel myself no more
I'm tired of all those macho movies
That ain't what this life is for

I don't want to hurt nobody
Just laughing, that's how i wanna be
'cos when that brick goes through that window
It don't make nobody free

Teach me to dance

Tell Me There's A Heaven

The little girl she said to me
"What are these things that I can see
Each night when I come home from school
When mama calls me in for tea?"
Oh every night a baby dies
And every night a mama cries
What makes those me do what they do
To make that person black and blue

Grandpa says they're happy now
They sit with God in paradise
With angel's wings and still somehow
It makes me feel
Like Ice

Tell me there's heaven
Tell me that it's true
Tell me there's a reason
Why I'm seeing what I do
Tell me there's heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me that they're happy now
Papa tell me that it's so

So do I tell here that it's true
That there's place for me and you
Where hungry children smile and say
"We wouldn't have no other way"
That every painful crack of bones is a step along the way
Every wrong done is a game plan
To that great and joyful day

And I'm looking at the father and the son
And I'm looking at the mother and the daughter
And I'm watching them in tears of pain
And I'm watching them suffer
Don't tell that little girl
Tell me

Tell me there's heaven
Tell me that it's true
Tell me there's a reason
Why I'm seeing what I do
Tell me there's heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me that they're happy now
Papa tell me that it's so

Tennis

In the morning madness and the stabbing light
She pours the coffee and she says
"What was wrong with you last night?"
"Dreams, just dreams my love, we're half asleep"
But the headline's on tennis
So it seems, everything's all right
There's a girl from the Midwest, with a pretty face
Scratched where it itched, they said it was a disgrace
"I don't wanna go to work today
Wanna stay at home and watch that girl play"
Do you like tennis?
Yes I do

There are people in boats in the middle of the sea
Crying and dying like Jews
Do you like tennis?
Freedom is the man with the red grenade
She ran out of gas, got beat and raped
Do you like tennis?
Well do you like tennis?
Yes I do

Texsas

Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever

Been thinking 'bout it lately
Been watching some TV
Been looking all around me
At what has come to me
Been talking to my neighbour
And he agrees with me

It's all gone crazy

Well my wife returns from taking
My little girl to school
She's got beads of perspiration
As she tries to keep for cool
She says that mess it don't get no better
There's gonna come a day
Someone gonna get killed out there
And I turn to her and say

Texas she says what
Texas she says what
They got big long roads out there

Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever
I'm going to Texas

We got to get out of here
We got to get out of here

Well I got a little brother
Several metres high
He's built just like a quarterback
He swears he'll testify
He says he's been to Texas
And that's the only place to be
Big stakes, big girls, no touble here
That's the place for me

I'm going to Texas
I'm going to Texas

Watch me walking
Watch me walking

That Girl Of Mine

There's a time and place everywhere I go
Where the river meets the sea
Somewhere between the gates of dreams
And the turning of the key
There's a cutting edge there's a real fine line
And it's caught in come and go
And you're leaving what you thought you knew
To what you've come to know
When the twilight turns at the end of day
And the angels kiss the moon
There's a diamond sun everywhere she goes
And there ain't no other way
I'm gonna dream tonight
By that pale moonlight
till the morning comes my way

I'm walking tall
And I'm walking fine
And I'm up there
With that girl of mine

And I'm standing in the twilight now
Yeah I'm standing by her side
Oh I'm gazing in that gate of dreams
Underneath that midnight sky
'Cos there's a diamond sun everywhere she goes
And there ain't no other way
I'm gonna dream tonight
By that pale moonlight
till the morning comes my way

I'm walking tall
And I'm walking fine
And I'm up there
With that girl of mine

That's The Way It Goes

It don't look good,
It don't look great
You know what's going down you really gonna hate
This is the moment, you know the score
This is what your enemies have waited for

You're going down
And everybody knows, that's the way it goes

Take a look, there ain't no doubt about it
You're in real bad shape
Everything that you don't need
Is waiting at your garden gate
So take a smile, take a woe
You got the rest of your life to wonder why and how
Save that for later, you're far too busy now

Because
You're going down
And everybody knows
That's the way it goes

That's What They Alway Say

At the first bell of the day
They rise up from where they lay
And look down with a promise in their hands
A promise to get out
This ain't what it's all about
There's always lots of reasons for their plans
When that golden sun shines through
There's always one more thing to do
Just one more stab into the wishing well

That's what they always say, I'm getting out
That's what they always say, ain't that just what they always say
That's what they always say, just one more little thing left in my way
That's what they always say, ain't that just what they always say

I'm getting out, I'm holding on
I'm hanging in, the time is wrong
And every morning brings another reason
A piece of cake, no lions share
Just one more dice and you'll be there
That golden bridge is just around the bend

That's what they always say, I'm getting out
That's what they always say, ain't that just what they always say
That's what they always say, just one more little thing left in my way
That's what they always say, ain't that just what they always say

Tomorrow is another day
And the money junkie fades away
That golden bridge is just around the bend

That's what they always say, I'm getting out
That's what they always say, ain't that just what they always say
That's what they always say, just one more little thing left in my way
That's what they always say, ain't that just what they always say

The Blue Cafe

My world is miles of endless roads
That leaves a trail of broken dreams
Where have you been
I hear you say?
I will meet you at the Blue Cafe
Because, this is where the one who knows
Meets the one who does not care
The cards of fate
The older shows
To the younger one, who dares to take
The chance of no return

Where have you been?
Where are you going to?
I want to know what is new
I want to go with you
What have you seen?
What do you know that is new?
Where are you going to?
Because I want to go with you

So meet me down at the Blue Cafe

The cost is great, the price is high
Take all you know, and say goodbye
Your innocence, inexperience
Mean nothing now

Because, this is where the one who knows
Meets the one that does not care
Where have you been?
I hear you say
I'll meet you at the Blue Cafe

So meet me at the Blue Cafe

The Bones Of Angels

Long shadows
Bright light
That falls to the front
From a darkness behind
There is no end
To this mountain top
Inside these stones
Only peace will we find

Inside out
We're all part of the stone
That makes up the mountain
And harbours the bones
The bones of angels
That showed us the way
You can feel them at night
While they sleep through the day

The bones of angels
The bones of angels

Together we will be
Forever we will see
I see you
And I see me
And the bones of angels
