Des mots qui sonnent/Words that sound

Come'on baby, write me a song

At least answer the telephone

I know well your occupation

Favorite, , , it's to have fun

But me I need my song

All my telephone lines are ringing

I'm booked for the television

In all promotion shows

What will I do

If I haven't my song

What will I look like?

Hello! I promise them a number one

I'm in studio tomorrow morning

Write me words that sound

Words that resound

Write me words that give

A meaning to my music

Write me words that sound

Words that reason

Write me words that hit

On the tonic accent

Write me words

Write me words that sound

I can go hold your hand

Making you a double expresso- oh!

You must finish it before tomorrow

If not, my planning falls in the water

Give me at least the idea of the refrain

I must make a video - oh!

You can talk about anything and nothing

As long as I have my scenario

Give me just one hour

Of your inspiration

Think about your royalties

Oh! oh! I must climb at least to the Top Ten

You must think AM-FM

Write me words that sound

Words that resound

Write me words that give

A meaning to my music

Write me words that sound

Words that reason

Write me words right on

With the rhythmics

Write me words

Write me words that sound

Write me lines

That swing like Sting's

That sound Like Jackson's

Words that rhyme

Words that think

And balance

Words that say

What you would, you

If you had my voice

Write me words that dance

Write me words that sound

Words that resound

Write me words that give

A meaning to my music

Write me words that sound

Words that reason

Write me words that hit

On the tonic accent

Write me words that sound

Write me words that sound right on

It must be a number one

It must be fun

Write me words

Write me words that sound

Le monde est stone/The world is stone

My head is exploding

I would only want to sleep

Lay on the asphalt

And let myself die

Stone

The world is stone

I'm looking for the sun

In the middle of the night

I don't know if it's the Earth

That turn the wrong way

Or if it's myself

Who's making cinema

Stone

The world is stone

I don't wanna fight anymore

I don't wanna run anymore

Like all these robots

Who build empires

That wind can destroy

Like a house of cards

Stone

The world is stone

I'm looking for the sun

In the middle of the night, , ,

Let me struggle

Don't come assist me

Come to kill me instead

To prevent me from suffering

My head is exploding

I would only want to sleep

Lay on the asphalt

And let myself die

J'ai besoin d'un chum/I need a boyfriend

Chorus: I need a man

I need a boyfriend

I need a man

I don't need my dad nor my mom

I need a boyfriend

I don't need a husband nor a brother

I need a boyfriend

I need a man

I need a boyfriend

I don't need a devil nor a God

I need a boyfriend

Like I need water, air and fire

I need a boyfriend

I thought I could live without men

But when I'm crazy about one

It's always all new, all beautiful

I don't need my dad nor my mom

I need a boyfriend

As I need the sun and the sea

I need a boyfriend

I need a man

I need a boyfriend

I don't need champaign and chocolate

I need a boyfriend

As I need rock'n roll and salsa

I need a boyfriend

For me all road lead to men

I always fall in the same trap

But each time I'm thrown back higher

I don't need my dad nor my mom

I need a boyfriend

Spring, summer, fall and winter

I need a boyfriend

I need a man

I need a boyfriend

I need I need I need

A boyfriend

Le Fils de Superman/Superman's son

Just like his father

The little Jean-Pierre

Was a fan

A Superman fan

He collected

All the cartoons

Where he could see his hero

Fly like a bird

Jean-Pierre should have had eight years yeasterday

And his parent were very proud of him

That they decided to do

For his birthday

A short trip to New York

Superman's town

In their hotel room

On Waldorf's fiftieth floor

The view was so beautiful

That their first evening

They spent it looking

At Manhattan's lights

The day after

They have walked on Broadway

Hand in hand

Like in a fairytale

And in a store

Where we sell everything and nothing Jean-Pierre had his father buy him

A Superman costume

On this same night

He wanted to wear it

As pajamas

To be able to dream better

But when his parents

Were asleep

All beside him in the large bed

He stood up without a noise

He opened the window

And when he saw Manhattan's lights

He wanted to fly out

In the starry night

Like a bird soaring

It's exactly yesterday

That we buried Jean-Pierre

Superman's son

Je danse dans ma tête/I dance in my head

The future is planetary

There are six billion humans on Earth

But everyone lives his live alone

Everyone has his habits

Everyone has his certitudes

And love is the worst of solitudes

When I'm indefferent about the Universe

When I don't feel like doing anything

When life puts me to sleep like a soporific

I invented the formula

That beats out all the pills

Even if it makes me look like a sumnambulist

I d-d-d-dance in my head

Even if I'm standing in the subway

Even if I'm sitting at my desk

Every day the same words

The same robot moves

There's something to become insane

What do you think about that?

There's really something to become insane

But I don't care

I d-d-d-dance in my head

What ever we do or what ever we say

From everywhere they stallite us

They watch us, they compute us

By seeing it so much

I begin to wonder

If my head won't swallow me

Outside neon tubes turn on

All right!

I prefer to watch the moon

All night

Laid naked on my bed

In the night's heat

Police sirens

Howl like wolves

I would like as Alice

To fall in a big hole

I d-d-d-dance in my head

Le Blues du Businesman/Businessman's blues

I'm doing well in my business

I'm doing well in my love affairs

I change secretaries often

I have my office on top of a tower

From where I see the town upside down

From where I control my universe

I spend half my life in the air

Between New York and Singapore

I always travel in first class

I have my second home

In all the Hilton's on Earth

I can't accept misery

I'm not happy, but I look like I am

I lost humour sense

Since I got the business sense

I succeeded and I'm proud of it

In fact I have only one regret

It's not what I wanted to do

I wanted to be an artist

To be able to do my show

When the airplane touches the ground

In Rotterdam or Rio I wanted to be a singer

To be able to shout who I am

I wanted to be an author

To be able to create my life

I wanted to be an actor

So every day I would change my skin

And to find myself beautiful

On a big color screen

I wanted to be an artist

To be able to be an anarchist

And live like a millionaire

I wanted to be an artist

To have the world to do again

To be able to tell why I exist

Piaf chanterait du rock/Piaf would be signing rock

She was born in the street

We believed in her story

She exposed her soul

Like today's rock stars

He carreer was her life

And even if you're shocked

If Piaf was living today

He "Vie en rose" would be rock

And even her "Hymne à l'amour"

Would sound to today's taste

Piaf would sing rock

She would live today

With her era Piaf would sing rock

She would be too

Under the impact

Of the rock music

She would live at maximum

Her passions as well as her songs

And when she was in love with a man

The whole universe knew his name

You who are chasing her shout

Put your watches back on time

If Piaf would live today

Her "Cri du coeur" would be rocker

She would howl at full sound

Her "Homme à la moto"

Piaf would sing rock

She would live today

With her era Piaf would sing rock

She would be too

Under the impact

Of the rock music

Un garçon pas comme les autres, (Ziggy)/Ziggy (A boy like no others)

Ziggy, his name is Ziggy

I'm crazy about him

He's a boy like no others

But I love him, it's not my fault

Even if I know

That he will never love me

Ziggy, his name is Ziggy

I'm crazy about him

The first time I saw him

I jumped on him on the street

I simply told him

That I wanted him

It was four o'clock in the morning

I was alone and I needed

To talk to someone

He told me: come take a coffee

And we told each other lives

We laughed, and we cried

Ziggy, his name is Ziggy

He's my only friend

In his head there's only music

He sells discs in a boutique

We could say he's living in another galaxy

Every night, he take me dancing

In very very cheerful places

Where he has lots of friends

Yes, I know, he likes boys

I should reason myself

Trying to forget him, , , but

Ziggy, his name is Ziggy

I'm crazy about him

He's a boy like no others

But I love him, it's not my fault

Even if I know

That he will never love me

Quelqu'un que j'aime, quelqu'un qui m'aime/Someone I love, Someone who loves me

What's the use

Of having

The universe at my feet

If alone

Tonight

In my room in L.A.

I would like to have

Someone I love

Someone to give to

Someone who loves me

With whom all share

Someone I love

Someone to talk to

Someone who loves me

To whom I could at least give a call

All these thousands

Of arms

Stretched towards me

To share

The love

They give me every night

I would like to have

Someone I love

Someone to give to

Someone who loves me

With whom all share

Someone I love

Someone to talk to

Someone who loves me

To whom I could at least give a call

Alone facing my mirror

Not easy

To face

The truth

Deep in my eyes

I'm not

The little girl I was

When closes again every night

The book of my fairytale

I would like to have

Someone I love

Someone to give to

Someone who loves me

With whom all share

Someone I love

Someone to talk to

Someone who loves me

To whom I could at least give a call

Les uns contre les autres/Ones against the others

We sleep ones against the others

We live ones against the others

We caress each other, we cajole each other

We understand each other, we comfort each other

But at the end of it

We realize

We're always alone in the world

We dance ones against the others

We run ones against the others

We hate each other, we tear each other apart

We destroy each other, we want each other

But at the end of it

We realize

We're always alone in the world

We sleep ones against the others

We live ones against the others

We caress each other, we cajole each other

We understand each other, we comfort each other

But at the end of it

We realize

We're always alone in the world

But at the end of it

We realize

We're always alone in the world

Oxygène/Oxygen

As every morning

The sun rises up

Between the buildings

Around seven and a half o'clock

I open my window

Always the same man jogging!

I dress

I make up

I swallow a large black coffee

My glasses

My briefcase

Compulsory accessories

The mirrors

Of the corridor

Reproduce my silhouette

The elevator

Frightens me

At every floor, my heart stops , , ,

Give me

Give me some oxygen

In a schoolyard

A kid playing

With a green ball

Suddenly put

His hand at his neck

While falling on the ground, smothered by the air

At noon

And a half

Another large black coffee

I only eat

An orange

To be able to hold on till the evening

I lay down

A moment

Legs up in the air

I inhale

And exhale

In a mechanical way, , ,

Give me

Give me some oxygen

Give me some oxygen, , ,

In an ambulance

Crossing the city

At two hundreds per hour

We bring to the emergency

A motionless man

With a battery instead of a heart

All the week I struggle

From nine o'clock till five o'clock

The traffic

Panics me

When I drive at night

The parking

Of the building

Always has the same smell

Entering

In the apartment I turn on my air conditioner

Give me

Give me some oxygen

L'amour existe encore/Love still exists

When I fall asleep against your body

Then I don't have any doubt Love still exists

All my years of confusion

All, I would give them all

To anchor myself to your port

The solitude I fear

Which is watching me at the end of my route

I will kick it out

To love you once for all

To love you at any price

Despite that sickness that runs

And kills the love

When I fall asleep against your body

Then I don't have any doubt

Love still exists

We were not on the same side

But after all we don't care

If we're right or wrong

The world is leaded by insanes

My love it depends only on us

To love ourselves harder

Beyond violence

Beyond madness

Despite the bombs falling

Everywhere around the world

When I fall asleep against your body

Then I don't have any doubt

Love still exists

To love you once for all

To love you at any price

Despite that sickness that runs

And kills the love

When I fall asleep against your body

Then I don't have any doubt

Love still exists
