Bei Mir

Of all the boys I’ve known, and I’ve known some
When I first met you I was lonesome
Then you came in sight and my heart grew light
And this whole world seemed new to me
You’re really swell, I have to admit you
Deserve expressions that really fit you
So I wrack my brain trying to explain
All the things that you do to me
Bei mir bist du schӧn, let me explain
Bei mir bist du schӧn, means you’re grand
Bei mir bist du schӧn, let me explain
It means that you’re the fairest in the land
I could say bella, bella, or even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how great you are
Bei mir bist du schӧn, again I explain
It means that I am begging for your hand
Bei mir bist du schӧn, it’s such an old refrain and though I should explain
It means that your the greatest in the land
Bei mir bist du schӧn, I’ve heard it all before and though I should explain
It means that I am begging for your hand
I could say bella, bella, or even sehr wunderbar
Each language only helps me tell you how great you are
Bei mir bist du schӧn, again I explain
Just kiss me and say you’ll understand

Where Do They Go?
03:57
|

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Often I wonder where lost hours fly
Deep down the mind where memories lie
Where do they go?
Where do they go?
Where do they go, the full hearted people
That nobody cared about after all
May be some other place
May be some other place
Some other place, a land of their own
Far from their fate
Far from the good looking people
Good looking faces
We twist and we turn and we struggle in vain
What we know is driving us insane
Ignorance is bliss in the kingdom of freaks
We know that the only thinking left for us to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Good looking lips ornamented with lies
Wiping away all the hope and desire
Oh where is it?
Where is desire?
It’s down in the bottom under secrets and lies
Deep down the bottle where memories lie
All the memories
Where is desire?
Where do they go?
Where do they go?
Where do they go?

No more Benjis

Spider Lady 2.0
03:33

C'est une étrange affaire
De bien avant la guerre
Concernant une femme
Tout habillée de noir
Qui dans toute sa gloire
De bien des hommes était la flamme
Les séduisait en robe de soie
Les attirait dans les coins noirs
Et là commençait la drame
De ces hommes il y eut' un
Malin comme un Lutin
Commissaire de metier il su gagne
Le coeur de la Femme Araignée
Il la fit arrêter, et elle fut condamnée
Pour le restant ses jours
A manger de navets
Pour tous les déjeuners
Spider Lady, spider web
Spider Ogre in spite of her said
My fate, my love, my life is all overplayed
Away, away, away
C'est une étrange affaire
De bien avant la guerre
Concernant une femme
Qu'on connaissait comme
La Femme Araignée
Spider Lady, spider web
Spider Ogre in spite of her said
My fate, my love, my life is all overplayed
Away, away, away
C'est une étrange affaire
De bien avant la guerre
Concernant une femme
Qu'on connaissait comme
La Femme Araignée
C'est une étrange affaire

Le Way
04:31
|

Juste un regard, scella leur destin
Avant le soir, ils seraient loin
Remplis d’espoir, la main dans la main
Avec leur amour (sans mémoire), pour tracer le chemin
Ils vidèrent leurs verres, si mirent a parler
De choses essentielles, trop longtemp ignorer
Quand l’auto stoppa, ils se mirent à marcher
Mais où allaient-ils sans savoir où les menaient leur pas
On pouvait voir dans leurs yeux
Le chemin pavé d’or et fuyant
Le soleil jouait dans leur cheveux d’argent
Insouciants ils n’aurait plus jamais froid maintenant
Et sous de cieux éternellement bleus
Sans même se retourner
A jamais amoureux, ils se sont effacés
Bien tous les deux, bien plus heureux maintenant - nos parents
La maison s’éveille, les enfants sont grands
La nuit nous conseil, mais nous vole nos parents
Ils ont tout laissé, sans penser plus que ça
Mais où allaient-ils sans savoir où les menaient leur pas

Zazie
04:42
|
|||
You were a girl in search of a mystery, far and wide
You were so young, intoxicatingly bright inside
A rebel coin, a wishing well
The city streets can give you hell
But Zazie, you're my star
Sweetheart, don't wander too far
Zazie, nobody's baby
Oh, Zazie, be my sweetheart tonight
I think of you when life gets me blue and I'm restless inside
The fearless little one that you are is so open wide
The thing to do, a place to be
It's tough being grown up you see
But Zazie, you're my star
Sweetheart, don't wander too far
Zazie, nobody's baby
Oh, Zazie, be my sweetheart tonight
OOHOH Zazie, nobody's baby
Oh, Zazie, be my sweetheart tonight
The streets were so much sweeter when you used to pass me by
You dazzled us with wisdom and wonder, how can I
Ever be the same again
I will always call you my friend
Oh Zazie, you are my star
Sweetheart, don't wander too far
OOHOH Zazie, nobody's baby
Oh, Zazie, be my sweetheart tonight

Off White (Revisited)
03:20

OOOOWAH
Feel this music lift me off the ground
OOOOWAH
Feel the bellows chilling out my spine
I didn’t mean to dust it off or play it back
Once again I tried too hard to cross the tracks
Sorry if my eyes drop when the bellows mellow out
I can’t help myself, why should I?
OOOOWAH
Black & White keys turn my soul off white
OOOOWAH
With wrecked scales like poker strikes on bars
I didn’t mean to dust it off or play it back
Once again I tried too hard to cross the tracks
Sorry if my eyes drop when the bellows mellow out
I can’t help myself, why should I?
OOOOWAH
Tiptoe on a stiff road bound to crack
OOOOWAH
Tiptoe on a stiff road bound to ...
Tiptoe on a stiff road bound to ...
Tiptoe on a stiff road bound to ...

Cafuné
Quiero estar contigo para siempre
Cafuné
Durma con os anjinhos meu lindo
Cafuné
Beijos, Beijinhos, Beijâo
Of all the other moments to borrow
Of all the other moments to borrow
For Eternity…For Eternity
Des petales tombent en avalanche
Des petales tombent en avalanche
Beijos, Beijinhos, Beijâo
Of all the other moments to borrow
Of all the other moments to borrow
For Eternity…For Eternity
Cafuné Cafuné Cafuné
Des petales tombent en avalanche

Via Con Me

Via via
Vieni via di qui
Niente più ti lega a questi luoghi
Neanche questi fiori azzurri
Via via
Neanche questo tempo grigio
Pieno di musiche
E di uomini che ti son piaciuti
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
Good luck my baby
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
I dream of you
Via via
Vieni via con me
Entri in questo amore buio
Non perderti per niente al mondo
Via via
Non perderti per niente al mondo
Lo spettacolo d'arte varia
Di uno innamorato di te
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
Good luck my baby
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
I dream of you
Via via
Vieni via con me
Entra in questo amore buio
Pieno di uomini
Via
Entra e fatti un bagno caldo
C'è un accappatoio azzurro
Fuori piove, è un mondo freddo
Ah, it's wonderful
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
Good luck my baby
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
It's wonderful
I dream of you
