The Call of Rhythm
03:15

It's like the ground is rumbling
The whole stage is rolling
The bass runs through your legs
The song goes to your head
We’ve got that blues and rhythm
A hitting pace we give 'em
A passion we embrace
Through the music we share
...And now it’s time
[Chorus : ] To feel those tingles rise from inside
Sparkling eyes that no one wants to hide
It’s time to go wild
Feel those rhymes bouncing through your mind
Let’s leave negative thoughts behind
It's a collective euphoria
Brought straight from Lousiana
When guitars resound
Let your feet hit the ground
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Shine, floor is thine
Sparkling eyes must no longer hide
Now, let’s go wild
Shooting stars are passing through your heart
Ain't nothing left to keep us apart

Mom

I’ve to admit it took me so long
That I could have written about a thousand songs
Though I made myself on my own
I was this close to let you once again put me down
Now I put one foot in front of the other
I'm done replacing your mistakes with some bigger
Walking is not something you taught me
Now watch my back while I sing
[Chorus :] I did not suffer to grow up without a paternal figure around
Yes it's weighing on me but you got it wrong
I never needed your help to teach me how to be strong
I’ve got a father for this and I call her Mom
I never really understood
The fascination that people have for you
I ended getting sick of your excuses
Speak as much as you want I’m now too far to hear
Now I put one foot in front of the other
To keep my head up I learned it from my mother
She made me keep my feet on the ground
While helping me touch the clouds
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
I did not suffer to grow up and to shape my way alone
Now it’s time to accept that I’m doing well
I never needed your help I could count on my Mom

Six Years
04:56
|
|

People struggle to think their path is traced
And if mine just started the day we met
Only a hasty love is shaped for fools
When your heart fiercely roars you can't no more play by the rules
Six years I’ve got you on my mind
Six years I can’t help myself wanting you so bad
I like that you’re driving me so mad
[Chorus :] It’s like you’ve been my lifeline
Without you I can’t feel alive
I know there will be just you and I
It's a promise that I made to time
I knew right away you were the one
July spread the word to the world
A passion like ours doesn't need proof
But I have waited for you and now my dreams come true
Six years I’ve got you on my mind
Six years, I can't help myself but I feel so proud
That you keep driving me so mad
[Chorus]

Laisse-moi juste une dernière fois
Te dire à haute voix
Mes regrets, cet amour qui glisse entre mes doigts
Te raccrocher à nos souvenirs
N’est plus si facile
Me mettre à genoux pour que ton cœur vacille
Hello hello, I can’t just let go
Put the needle back into my vein
As I sing I can feel the madness taking over me
If I fall down will I touch the ground
I haven’t quite figured it out
Et si je tombe, la chute sera-t-elle longue
Quand le cœur gronde, la raison succombe
I know that I have gone too far
Hidden in my car in the middle of the night
I should really see a shrink ‘cause I’m acting crazy
Tu sais tu sais, je ne pourrais jamais
Réussir à te sortir de ma tête
Plus je pense et plus la démence grandit et me hante
If I fall down will I touch the ground
I haven’t quite figured it out
Et si on sombre, la route sera-t-elle longue
Pour reconstruire ces rêves qui m’incombent
Quand je te vois le sourire aux lèvres
Je me noie de pensées acerbes
Who’s gonna save the light
Who’s gonna save the light
If I fall down will I touch the ground
I haven’t quite figured it out
Et si je tombe, la chute sera-t-elle longue
Quand le cœur gronde, la raison succombe
Figure it out (x6)

I Forgot to Be Pretty
03:53
|
|

I can be sweet and be devoted but I won’t
I can be caring and inspiring but I won’t
I can be neat and tidy, loving but I won't
I can be glossy, maybe flossy but I don't
You expect me to be as patient as elegant
The relevance of my benevolence is evident
You think if you can keep it as eloquent
There’s a chance I’ll agree all this is my element
[Chorus : ] I can tell by the look in your eyes
You're lapping up every word I say, wait no no no
I can feel your attention arise
Actually my neighbour’s chest is a bit more, more, more
I could drown myself in celebrity
Or in a bottle of Chardonay
We could have seen me on TV
But I forgot to be pretty
I should have taken pictures of kittens and me
I should have posted photos of my meals at the beach on FB
If I knew that was the kind of talent we’re seeking today
I would have learned to point my ass before playing music
My words may not seem to be politically correct
Sorry but I feel like I am getting sick to death
[Chorus]
I don’t think that I’m born to be
A role model in society
I prefer to eat my fill,
Smile from ear to ear with something between my teeth
Please make no mistake about it
I understand but just disagree
You'll never see me on a magazine
At least I still know who I am when I go to sleep
[Chorus]
