Translation from french to english
My love for you is stronger than the first ray of sunshine that hits a little red flower at midday,
My love for you is stronger than a tree, a tree that has pushed through the canopy of the forest,
I love you, oh I love, I love you oh yes I love you.
My love for you is stronger than a red chilli, a red chilli crushed into a soup that boils forever,
My love for you is stronger than a stain of coffee, a stain of coffee on a brilliantly white tablecloth,
My love for you is stronger than a centipede, a centipede that has managed to cross the highway,
I love you, oh I love, I love you oh yes I love you.
You make me want to smile,
You make me want to laugh,
You make me want to cry out,
You make me want to live!
My love for you is stronger than the smell of dog poo, the smell of dog poo on my shoe

Smile

When the sky came out I smiled,
When the pine trees moaned in the wind I smiled,
When the sounds in my head changed to strumming melodies I smiled.
and I smiled
and I smiled
and I smiled
When I climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the land stretch out before me I smiled,
When I whispered at the ground that I felt happy I smiled,
When I waded through the waves and saw shells of forests on the sand I smiled,
When I felt the weight of my weakness embedded into my soul I smiled,
and I smiled
and I smiled
and I smiled

Your Heart Will Be Mine
02:06
|
|||
|
Oh when I look into your eyes
I see that there are certain ties,
To be your lover would be hard,
But then I have a certain card,
And if I play that card just right,
Then maybe you will stop to fight,
And then your heart will be mine,
Your heart will be mine!
And I might ask you out to dine,
And maybe we could drink some wine,
And then the games begin to play,
And I might ask you to stay,
And once I have you in my bed,
Then I can get into your head,
And then your heart will be mine,
Your heart will be mine!
And as the time begins to pass,
We might begin to see the farce,
As you sweep round inside my walls,
I might begin to hear your calls,
and as the love begins to grow,
Then maybe I will start to know,
And then my heart will be yours,
My heart will be yours!

Don't Wanna Know
03:53

Don't wanna know why your leaving
Don't wanna know why your gone away
I just wanted you to know you took a little part of me
Now I'm left feeling alone.
Just thought you might have been a bit presumptious
Thinking that I would follow you
But now you've gone on home
I'm not gonna follow
Cause I'm used to being alone.
Fallen away our love is
Fallen away our love is
Fallen away our love is
Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen
Don't wanna know why your leaving
Don't wanna know why your gone away
I just wanted you to know you took a little part of me
Now I'm left feeling alone.

Love...
What does it mean to be in love?
Love...
What does it mean to be in love?
Love...
Does it come from above?
Is it brought by a dove?
Will I find it in my glove?
Love...
What does it mean to be in love?
Love...
What does it mean to be in love?
Tears...
I have cried them for years,
her voice still rings in my ears,
I drown my grief in my beers.
Why do I cry?
When her eyes are dry?
She has other fish to fry,
She spit in my eye...
Love...
What does it mean to be in love?
Love...
What does it mean to be in love?
Leave...
Why oh why did she leave?
All I can do is grieve,
I wipe my nose on my slieve,
I don't have a handkerchief...

Find The Key
02:05
|
|||
|
Thoughts of time distorted
Swirling through cloudy skies
Echoes resounding unheard
Sounds of truth and of lies
Fly through the ether
Through unremebered time
See yourself forever
Drink from the cup of wine
Find the key
Be with me
Time told through a pane of glass
The soft slow dripping of space
As everything went by
the clock struck
As it had time and time again
Find the key
Be with me

Love is Like an Angel
01:36
|

Love is like an angel,
and it comes from all around,
before you know what's happening
your feet have left the ground
Love is like a flower
that burst forth in the sun
it fills your heart will gladness
till it weighs more than a tonne.
The chance to hear the flapping wings of angels all about
The chance to know their flapping is the beating of your heart,
And now you know that you have found the one,
Your heart can sing out like the shining sun.
Love is like a mirror
that reflects into your soul
it brings to life a diamond
that was once made of coal
Love is like a blanket
that wraps you up at night
It keeps you warm and lets you know
It's all going to be alright
The chance to hear the flapping wings of angels all about
The chance to know their flapping is the beating of your heart,
And now you know that you have found the one,
Your heart can sing out like the shining sun

Don’t call me faint hearted
Don’t call me blue
Don’t call sugar
hey hey hey honey,
That’s not what I should mean to you
Face it already
You’re just a shmuck
Walk out that door
I won’t wish you luck
And I’m taking the pick up truck
Don’t call me faint hearted
Don’t call me blue
Don’t call sugar
hey hey hey honey,
That’s not what I should mean to you
You think that you love me
That’s just a lie
Walk out that door
I won’t even cry
I always liked your sister better anyway
I ain’t no second fiddle
I ain’t no second best
I’m packing up my bags
and I’m leaving the rest
I ain’t doin’ no hovering
I ain’t doin’ no dishes
I ain’t cleanin’ the toilet
You can find another misses
Oh, yeah
Face it already
You’re just a shmuck
Walk out that door
I won’t wish you luck
The phone bill's on the table
It hasn't been paid
Chorus
Don’t call me (accordion)
Don’t call me (accordion)
Don’t call me (accordion)
Just don’t call me (accordion)
You can't anyway, the phone's been cut off

I Will Hold Your Hand
02:40
|
|||
|
Release the tightening rope around your mind
Enter into a place of confused feeling
Be grey when you know there is light
I will still be there
I will try to hold your hand
Call on unknown angels
Fall on hardened ground
The mist of time envelops you
goes around
goes around
goes around
I will still be there
I will try to hold your hand
Take my soul as proof
Try if you can
To break the cycle
spinning you
spinning you
spinning you
I will still be there
I will hold your hand

Excuses
03:26

My watch doesn't work
and I didn’t know the time,
My mind is a mess
and I wasn’t where I should have been,
My brain went blank
and I don't know what I was thinking
Excuses,
these are my excuses.
Excuses,
these are my excuses.
My watch doesn't work
and I didn’t know the time,
My legs did try to get there
but my arms were holding onto something,
My thoughts were of you,
but they didn’t connect.
Excuses,
these are my excuses.
Excuses,
these are my excuses.
My watch doesn't work
and I didn’t know the time,
My mind is a mess
and I wasn’t where I should have been,
My brain went blank
and I don't know what I was thinking,
My legs did try to get there
but my arms were holding onto something,
My thoughts were of you,
but they didn’t connect.
Excuses,
these are my excuses.
Excuses,
These are my excuses.
