Kindness In Me
04:35
|
|||
One more ride for me in my Mustang
Driving downtown like a mind-losing man
I used to be the king of an antique Lala band
Brunette memories dragging me down
In the heart of darkness, I can hear you
but you’re fading away night after night
And everything I see, anywhere I go, I feel you by my side
Girl, I do believe in love
Can’t you see the kindness in me?
There’s nothing I can say, nothing I can do to change the past
Can’t you see the kindness in me?
Your heart belongs to rock’n’roll
And you easily fell in a junkie romance
Too much booze, too many drugs, a suicide fairy tale
I don’t care about the style or color of your hair
And we don’t have to look like Nancy and Sid
But you and I can change the rules with a second chance
Girl, i do believe in love
Can’t you see the kindness in me, anymore?
There’s nothing I can say, nothing I can do to change the past we shared
Can’t you see the kindness in me?
Girl, I do believe in love
Can’t you see the kindness in me, anymore?
There’s nothing I can say, nothing I can do to change the past we shared
Can’t you see the kindness in me?
Can’t you see the kindness in me?

The Door Is Always Open
03:35
|
|||
Saw your picture in the paper
And i see you’ve married good
And i know that he can give you
All the things I never could
But I know that he can’t give you
What you need most of all
So the door is always open
And the light’s on in the hall
Yes, the door is always open
And the light’s on in the hall
And you know that i’ll be waiting
If you ever come to call
When night falls on that mansion
And you’re lying in his bed
When he begs you for attention
Will you think of me instead ?
When he reaches out to touch you
Is your face turned to the wall
Well, the door is always open
And the light’s on in the hall
Yes, the door is always open
And the light’s on in the hall
And you know that i’ll be waiting
If you ever come to call
Yes, the door is always open
And the light’s on in the hall
And you know that i’ll be waiting
If you ever come to call

Precious Love
03:35
|
|||
Falling in love was never the plan
Sadness and tears, waiting in vain
I couldn’t face myself anymore
I used to live as a rambling man
No one to care, guitar in my hand
For your precious love, i made up mind
I will quit the road, leave it all behind
For your precious love, i made up mind
Down on my knees, you found me on my knees.
Begging for a sign from goddess Erzulie
An angel’s voice from above
Unveiling your face and your precious love
For your precious love, i made up mind
I will quit the road, leave it all behind
For your precious love, i made up mind
For your precious love, i made up mind
I will quit the road, leave it all behind
For your precious love, i made up mind
Your precious love
I’m ready for your love
I’m ready for your love
I’m ready for your love
Your precious love
I’m ready for your love
I’m ready for your love
Your precious love
I’m ready for your love
I’m ready for your love
I’m ready for your love
Your precious love
I’m ready for your love
I’m ready for your love
Your precious love

Paper Doll
02:52
|
|||
Bunny, Bunny Lee
You’re getting high, high and low
All down the line on fiction row
Bunny, Bunny Lee
Stuck inside a world of fantasy
You’re losing touch with reality, (Oh Bunny)
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Mary, Mary Lou
Walking down the streets of desire,
You come and fuel my hidden fire
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
You are my little paper doll
You are my little paper doll
You are my little paper doll
You are my little paper doll
Open your heart!
Tell me your life
Open your heart!
Tell me your life
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll
Open your heart!
Be my next paper doll

Stay Behind Me
04:15
|
|||
More
I need more
More to be alive
More to save my life
Down
Falling down
Down into my soul,
Down without control
Don’t you believe me when i say
I crossed the line between Jeckyll and Hyde?
It’s time to keep you safe
As i begin to chafe
You better disappear
My shadow you should fear
Stay behind me
Don’t get closer
You could infect yourself
Stay behind me
Don’t get closer
You could infect yourself
‘cause i’m a real wild one
Sometimes i’m up in the air, i feel like God
I’m on tour everyday... just like Mike Watt
If you give me the key,
I’ll drive you crazy
Get out of the van,
Get out while you can
Stay behind me
Don’t get closer
You could infect yourself
Stay behind me
Don’t get closer
You could infect yourself
‘cause i’m a real wild one

Loving You By Mistake
03:12
|

Loving you by mistake
Sorry for your loss
Never felt an earthquake
‘til you came across, you came across, you came across
Loving you by mistake
I apologize
One day in Silverlake
I can’t forget your eyes, can’t forget your eyes, can’t forget your eyes
I may be wrong
but I gotta try
No remorse, no regrets
On the day I die
Loving you by mistake
How can i survive?
Without your body shake
On Mullholland Drive
Loving you my mistake
Found the missing part
Couldn’t see the rattlesnake
Hidden in your heart, inside your heart, inside your heart
I was wrong
but I had to try
No remorse, No regrets
on the day I die

The C.C. Motel Heights
03:12
|
|||
I’m driving my car
to the C.C. Motel Heights
My baby is waiting there for me
I’m driving my car
through the flashing neon lights
Sunset is still like “Model Shop”
Nineteen sixty five
The building year of my Chevelle
Coming from South-Ontario
Nineteen sixty five
I’ve found a new place to dwell
Searching for the roots of my own
C.C. C.C. C.C. oh! C.
C.C. C.C. C.C. oh! C.
Tennesse Whiskey
Old-Time friend for the ride
The bottle never let me down
Tennesse Whiskey
George Dickel by my side
Bringing me back to your arms
Too late to avoid a boar
The red Chevy bangs the beast
and rolls on down the ocean cliff
Too late to avoid a boar
Ain’t got time to call the priest
Jonah is back inside the whale
C.C. C.C. C.C. oh! C.
C.C. C.C. C.C. you’ll never see me

So long babe
I’ll be back soon
Take this knife
Go find a place to hide
a place to hide
Get to the shore
Forget the hill
A sandstorm
is on the edge of town
The edge of town
I’m gonna find him
Your only child
And bring him back
Put your trust in me
Trust in me
So many stories,
So many lies
Spreading coast to coast
The Devil’s wrath
Too many stories?
Too many lies?
Somebody tell me
if it’s wrong or right
Ochre sky
A burning Smell
Nothing moves
except a ripping flag
a ripping flag
Ain’t got no choice
I gotta run
before the doom
I need to find the way
a way out
Never again
To look in your eyes
My time has come
The Devil always wins
He always wins
So many stories,
So many lies
Spreading coast to coast
The Devil’s wrath
Too many stories?
Too many lies?
Somebody tell me
if it’s wrong or right
The Devil, the Devil, the Devil’s wrath
The Devil, the Devil, the Devil’s wrath
The Devil, the Devil, the Devil’s wrath
The Devil, the Devil, the Devil’s wrath

Holy Grail (A Prayer)
04:05
|
|||
You are the Holy Grail, my Lord
Glory be to the sinner and his sins
Forever and ever, I pray to you
An everlasting love, always true
You are the Holy Grail, my Lord
Part of the mystery up above
In the jigsaw puzzle of my memories
One piece is missing, I’m not complete
You are the Holy Grail, my love
Quicksand of my happiness down low
Sometimes I feel, so confused
by the ghost beside me in leather shoes
Have you ever been real?
Were you ever real?
You are the Holy Grail, my love
Queen of the kingdom of my thoughts
I fear the day, we meet again
The war is over, what about the pain?
Have you ever been real?
Have you ever?

Don't Wanna Seek You
02:35
|
|||
Every time I tell you
I care about you
You don’t believe me
Won’t even touch me
Don’t wanna seek you
Don’t wanna seek you anymore
Don’t wanna seek you
Don’t wanna seek you anymore
The game is over
Guess who’s the loser
I better let you go
I’m too old to follow
Don’t wanna seek you
Don’t wanna seek you anymore
Don’t wanna seek you
Don’t wanna seek you anymore
You’ll never be free
You can’t see beauty
You’ll never be free
You can’t see beauty

James Eleganz Dinard, France
What’s left of the Berlin of David Bowie and Iggy Pop?
