Les textes de l’album « Surf »

 

A1 . Falling in love
Reprise de Dennis Wilson, batteur des Beach Boys
(Dennis Wilson) – Brother Publishing Compagnie

 

Flowers come up in the spring
All the love I can bring, bring it for my lady
All I can do
You know, you know it’s for my lady

I love her so, I love to grow
With my lady, lady

Falling in love
Summer winds again together with my lady
Love the life I live
Live the life that I love, live it with my lady

I love her so, I let her know
She’s a lady, yes my lady

Yes, I’m in love
Love, in love, in love, in love with my lady
She knows I’m in love
Love, in love, in love, in love with my lady (Humming)

Flowers come up in the spring

A2 . A little bit of rain
Reprise de Fred Neil et Karen Dalton
(Fred Neil) – Third Story Music

 

If I should leave you
Please try to remember all the good times
Warm days filled with sunshine
And just a little bit of rain, just a little bit of rain
And just a little bit of rain

If you should look back
Try to forget all the bad times
Lonely blue and sad times
And just a little bit of rain, humm, just a little bit of rain
And just a little bit of rain

If I should leave you
Try to remember all the good times
Long days filled with sunshine
And just a little bit of rain, just a little bit of rain
And just a little bit of rain, and just a little bit of rain
Humm, and just a little bit of rain

A3 . The way you look tonight
Reprise de Air
(Jean-Benoit Dunckel – Nicolas Godin) – Revolvair

 

I like the way you look tonight
No blood in your vein, what does it mean?
Trashy art everywhere, on the screen
Slow motion aftertaste, I’ve had foresight

That’s the way you look tonight
I like the way you look tonight

Free union rider in the sun
Here comes the lord of audio beauty
Do you really have a digital body?
People like you grim, lust for fun

That’s the way you look tonight
The way you look tonight
I like the way you look tonight
The way you look tonight

A4 . My girl has gone
(Warren Moore – William ‘Smokey’ Robinson
Marvin Tarplin – Ronnie White / Marvin Tarplin) – Jobete Music

 

When you were mine, I loved you so much
I got a thrill from your every touch
You went away with somebody else
Now all I can say to comfort myself

Is that my girl has gone and said goodbye
Don’t you cry, hold your head up high
Don’t give up, give love one more try
There’s a right girl for every guy

Although your love wasn’t right for me
Good for another it will, maybe
Some girls were just made for some guys
Now I’ve got to make myself realize

That my girl has gone and said goodbye
But don’t you cry, hold your head up high
Don’t give up, give love one more try
There’s a right girl for every guy

Now all I can say to comfort myself
Is that my girl has gone and said goodbye
Don’t you cry, hold your head up high
Don’t give up, give love one more try
There’s a right girl for every guy

A5 . Moon river
Reprise de la Chanson du film « Breakfast At Tiffany’s » chantée par Audrey Hepburn.
(Johnny Mercer – Henri Mancini) – Sony Atv Harmony

 

Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after the same rainbow’s end, waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

B1 . Cirrus minor
Reprise de la chanson de Pink Floyd, BO du film « More » réalisé par Barbet Shroeder
(Roger Waters) – Lupus Music Co Ltd

 

In a churchyard by a river, lazing in the haze of midday
Laughing in the grasses and the graze

Yellow bird, you are not lone in, singing and in flying on
In laughing and in leaving

Willow weeping in the water, waving to the river daughters
Swaying in the ripples and the reeds

On a trip to Cirrus Minor, saw a crater in the sun
A thousand miles of moonlight later

On a trip to Cirrus Minor, saw a crater in the sun
A thousand miles of moonlight later

B2 . Honeymoon
Reprise de Phoenix
(Phoenix) – Ghetthoblaster

 

Every Sunday
I go to Hollywood
I buy my ticket
To see the midnight show

And every Sunday
I live my honeymoon
You rule my body
I just feel how it’s good

My mind aches
You bust my real thoughts
When you’re with me
‘Til the night’s away

I am sittin’
I watch the fireworks
It’s no matter of time
I feel the midnight crush

Feelin’ without knowing the other
Tonight, let me handle this affair
Let me handle this affair

Every Sunday
I go to Hollywood
It’s worth waitin’
To see the midnight show

And every Sunday
I live my honeymoon
You rule my body
I just feel how it’s good

There’s no ending
Light fades in my eyes
I don’t want nobody
To burn my Hollywood

Feelin’ without knowing the other
Tonight, let me handle this affair
Let me handle this affair

B3 . I can’t escape from you
Reprise de Hank Williams
(Hank Williams Sr) – Acuff – Rose Music

 

I’ve tried and tried to run and hide
To find a life that’s new
But where I’d go, I always know
I can’t escape from you

A jug of wine to numb my mind
But what good does it do?
The jug runs dry and still I cry
I can’t escape from you

These wasted tears are souvenirs
Of a love I thought was true
Your memory is chained to me
I can’t escape from you

instru

There is no end, I can’t pretend
That dreams will soon come true
A slave too long to a heart of stone
I can’t escape from you
I can’t escape from you
I can’t escape from you

B4 . You choose
Reprise des Pet Shop Boys
(Chris Lowe – Neil Tennant) – Cage Music ltd.

 

He’s gone
You’ve lost
Stay behind
And count the cost
You try
You lose
You don’t fall in love by chance
You choose

It’s a decision
Made over time
Should you take a risk
And start to climb
The steepest hill
Only to find
Halfway there
You’ve been left behind?
Choosing to love
Is risking a lot
And trying to change
And to give all you’ve got
But don’t pretend
It comes out of the blue

You take a chance
And see it through
And if it’s refused
What can you do?
Continue hopefully?
Start anew?

Lick your wounds
Buy your booze
You won’t get drunk by accident
You’ll choose
Don’t blame him
For refusing your bid
He didn’t decide to love
You did

Learn the lesson
Take the blows
You didn’t fall in love by chance
You chose
Play the sad songs
Sing the blues
You don’t fall in love by chance
You choose
You choose
You choose

B5 . Glad to be unhappy
Reprise du classique de la comédie musicale « On your toes »
(Lorenz Hart / Richard Rodgers) – Chapell Co Inc.

 

Look at yourself, if you had a sense of humor
You would laugh to beat the band
Look at yourself, do you still believe the rumor
That romance is simply grand?

Since you took it right on the chin
You have lost that bright toothpaste grin
My mental state is all a jumble
I sit around and sadly mumble

Fools rush in, so here I am
Very glad to be unhappy
I can’t win, but here I am
More than glad to be unhappy

Unrequited love’s a bore
And I’ve got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore
It’s a pleasure to be sad

Like a straying baby lamb
With no mammy and no pappy
I’m so unhappy
But oh, so glad!

Unrequited love’s a bore
And I’ve got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore
It’s a pleasure to be sad

Like a straying baby lamb
With no mammy and no pappy
I’m so unhappy
But oh, so glad!

C1 . Son silence en dit long
(Étienne Daho / Étienne Daho – Xavier Géronimi) – Satori Song.

 

Son silence ne me dit rien de bon
Ne me dit rien qui vaille
Sans aucune explication
Je tourne en rond
Intuitivement je devine
Que tous ses non-dits disent non
Que dans ses non-dits tout est dit
Que son long silence en dit long

Son silence ne me dit rien de bon
Et ouvre grand l’entaille
Qui devient pure obsession d’abandon
Intuitivement je pressens
Que tous ses dénis disent non
Que dans ses non-dits tout est dit
Que son long silence en dit long

Ce mur que tu dresses entre nous
C’est tordu, dégueulasse, ça me déçoit
Et pour moi c’est tout vu, l’admiration n’est plus
C’est officiellement vraiment, mais vraiment foutu

Son silence ne me dit rien de bon
Je déguste ma peine jusqu’à l’intoxication
J’touche le fond
Je ressasse jusqu’à la nuit
Que tous ses dénis disent non
Que dans ses non-dits tout est dit
Que son long silence en dit long

Son silence ne me dit rien de bon
Ne me dit rien qui vaille
Sans aucune explication
Je tourne en rond
Intuitivement je devine
Que tous ses non-dits disent non
Que dans ses non-dits tout est dit
Que son long silence en dit long

C2 . This too shall pass away
Reprise du groupe The Honeycombs
(Alan Blaykley – Kenneth Howard) – Third Story Music

 

When your way is darkest night
And you can’t tell wrong from right
Remember nothing ever lasts forever
And this too shall pass away
This too shall pass away

Though you’re left alone to cry
And dark storm clouds hide the sky
There’s no sadness that can’t change to gladness
For all things shall pass away
All things shall pass away

When you’re feeling like a king
And you’re lord of everything
Yourself you may deceive but it’s just make believe
And this too shall pass away
This too shall pass away
This too shall pass away
This too shall pass away

C3 . Blue moon of Kentucky
Reprise de Bill Monroe, popularisée par Elvis Presley
(William Bill Monroe) – Peer Music UK

 

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that’s gone and proved untrue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue

It was on a moonlight night
The stars were shining bright
And they whispered from on high
Your love has said good-bye

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that’s gone and proved untrue
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue

It is on a moonlight night
The stars shining bright
They whispered from high
Your love has said good-bye

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that’s gone and left me blue

C4 . I’m so lonesome I could cry
Reprise de Hank Williams
(Hank Williams) – Sony ATV Acuff

 

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds to blue to fly
That midnight train is whining low
I’m so lonesome I could cry

I’ve never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
I’m so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I’m so lonesome I could cry
I’m so lonesome I could cry

C5 . Heathen
Reprise de David Bowie
(David Bowie) – Nipple Music

 

Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass

Waiting for something
Looking for someone
Is there no reason?
Have I stared too long?

You say you’ll leave me

And when the sun is low
And the rays high
I can see it now
I can feel it die

Steel on the skyline
Sky made of glass
Made for a real world
All things must pass

Waiting for something
Looking for someone
Is there no reason?
Have I stared too long?

You say you’ll leave me

And when the sun is low
And the rays high
I can see it now
I can feel it die

Steel on the skyline

D1 . We have all the time in the world
Reprise de la chanson du film de James Bond « Au service secret de sa majesté »
(Hal David / John Barry) – United Artists

 

We have all the time in the world
Time enough for life to unfold
All the precious things love has in store
We have all the love in the world
If that’s all we have
You will find we need nothing more

Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love nothing more nothing less only love

Every step of the way will find us
With the cares of the world far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love nothing more nothing less only love

Only love

D2 . Take a look
Reprise de Irma Thomas
(Naomi Neville) – Unart Music Corp.

 

Take a look at this heart
It’s the one I’m gonna use to love you
Take a look at these arms.
This the arms am gonna use to hug you
Look at these eyes this are the eyes that will haunt you
Take a look at this guy, she is the guy that wants you
Take a look at my feet they gonna walk up to your door
Take a look at this hand take a look at this fist
Its gonna knock like never before
Look at this lips they’re gonna kiss u and I know they’ll haunt you
Take a look at this guy I’m the guy that wants you
Take a look at that ring that u see lying there in the window
Take a look at that poor little empty spot on my third finger
If you wanna see someone who’s gonna be happy as can be
Take a look at me
Take a look at me
Take a look at me
Take a look at this heart
It’s the one i’m gonna use to love you
Take a look at this arms; take a look at this arms
They’re the arms I’m gonna use to hug you
Take a look at this lips they gonna kiss you and I know they’ll haunt you
Take a look at this guy I am the guy that wants you
Come on take a look at this guy am the guy that wants u
Take a look at this guy am the guy that wants u
Take a look at this guy am the guy that wants you

D3 . Someday
Reprise de Ricky Nelson
(James Hodges) – Universal Music Duchess / Universal MCA Music Ltd.

 

I know that someday you’ll want me to want you
When I’m in love with somebody new
You expect me to be true and keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue, you think I can’t forget you

Until someday, you’ll want me to want you
When I’m in love with somebody new
Although you don’t want me now
I’ll get along somehow and then I won’t want you

I know that someday you’ll want me to want you
When I’m in love with somebody new
Although you don’t want me now
Oh, I’ll get along somehow and then I won’t want you

D4 . You think I still care (She thinks I still care)
Reprise de George Jones
(Steve Duffy – Royden Lipscomb) – Glad Music CY / Glad Music Ltd. / Jack Music Inc.

 

Just because I ask a friend about you
Just because I spoke your name somewhere
Just because I rang your number by mistake today
You think I still care

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem’ry of your lingers ev’rywhere
Just because I’m not the happy man I used to be
You think I still care

And if you’re happy thinkin’ I still need your
And then let that silly notion bring your cheer
But how could you ever be so foolish
Oh where would you get such an idea

Just because I ask a friend about your
And just because I spoke your name somewhere
Just because I saw you then went all to pieces
You think guy still care
You think guy still care
You think guy still care

D5 . He was a friend of mine
Reprise du traditionnel de Smith Casey, popularisé par Bob Dylan et Dave Van Ronk
(Traditionnel) – D.R.

 

He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him
I just can’t keep from cryin’
He was a friend of mine

He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
He was just a poor boy
A long way from home
He was a friend of mine

He died on the road
He died on the road
Never had no money
And never satisfied
He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine
Every time I think about him
I just can’t keep from cryin’
‘Cause he was a friend of mine.

Bonus Track cd et mp3 : Come to me slowly
Reprise de Margo Guryan
(Margo Guryan) – Dartmoor Music

 

Come to me slowly
So I can see your eyes
Come to me slowly
So I can see your smile
Watch it undo me
Now, come a little bit closer to me
And say you love me today

Come to me slowly
And tell me, tell me what I wanna hear
Come to me slowly
Till I can feel your lips talkin’ on my lips
Be everything
Your eyes have silently promised to be
Come to me slowly and make love to you

Come to me slowly
So I can see your eyes
Come to me slowly
So I can see your smile
Watch it undo me
Be everything
Your eyes have silently promised to be
Come to me slowly and make love to you

Come to me slowly
So I can see your eyes
Come to me slowly

Bonus Track cd : I can’t escape from you (Live TV en duo avec Alain Bashung)
Reprise de Hank Williams
(Hank Williams Sr) – Acuff – Rose Music

 

I’ve tried and tried to run and hide
To find a life that’s new
But wherever I go I always know
I can’t escape from you

A jug of wine to numb my mind
But what good does it do?
The jug runs dry and still I cry
I can’t escape from you

These wasted years are souvenirs of love
I thought was true
Your memory is chained to me
I can’t escape from you

There is no end, I can’t pretend
That dreams will soon come true
A slave too long to a heart of stone
I can’t escape from you
I can’t escape from you
I can’t escape from you
