Moi je t’offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu’après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D’or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l’amour sera roi
Où l’amour sera loi
Où tu seras reine
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Do not go away
We must just forget
Yes, we can forget
All that’s flown beyond
Let’s forget the time
The misunderstands
And the wasted time
To find out how
To forget these hours
Which sometimes kill
At blows of why,
A heart full of joy.
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away
I will offer you
Pearls of rain
Coming from the lands
Where it never rains
I will cross the world
Till after my death
To cover your bosom
With gold and light
I will make a kingdom
where love will be king
Where love will be the law
Where you will be queen
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away,
I will invent for you
Some giberish words
That you’ll understand
And I will tell you
Of these lovers who
Who seen twice
Their hearts in blaze
I will tell you in detail
The story of this king
Dead, from having not
Encountered you.
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away
One often recalls
Flames light anew
From an old volcano
Thought to be too old.
It appears that
It scorched fields
Can give more corn
Than the best of springs.
And when evening comes
In this blazing sky
The red and the night
Marry nevermore.
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away
I will cry no more
I will talk no more
I will hide somehow
Just to look at you
Dance and smile
And to hear you
Sing and then laugh
Let me be
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
But, do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away
Do not go away

Lyrics:
Fish that don’t drown,
Life in a bubble jungle,
I wouldn’t frown,
Not short another chuckle,
Snake in the ground,
But I was in there for you,
Now leaving town,
Life in a bubble jungle.
Seeing you believing
Us adhering
We’re the power struck.
Believing, then kneeling,
Appeasing,
The power struggle.
We’re left with no arms,
Right in the power struggle,
We’re left with no arms,
Right in the power struggle.
Wearing a crown,
Life in a bubble jungle,
Chasing a clown,
Not short another chuckle,
Snake in the ground,
But I was waiting for you,
Now we have found,
Life in a bubble jungle.
Seeing you believing
Us adhering
We’re the power struck.
Believing, then keeling,
Appeasing,
The power struggle.
We’re left with no arms,
Right in the power struggle,
We’re left with no arms,
Right in the power struggle.
Left with no arms,
In the power struggle,
Left with no arms,
In the power struggle.
May I remind you,
May I remind you,
May I remind you.
May I remind you,
May I remind you,
May I remind you.
May I remind you,
May I remind you,
May I remind you,
May I remind you,
May I remind you,
May I remind you,
Your life is in a bubble jungle.
Seeing you believing
Us adhering
We’re the power struck.
Believing, then keeling,
Appeasing,
The power struggle.
We’re left with no arms,
Right in the power struggle,
We’re left with no arms,
Right in the power struggle.
Left with no arms,
In the power struggle,
Left with no arms,
Right here in the power struggle.

Lyrics:
I guess ive got a heart meant
For fooling around with chicks
Because in that love department
I know all the ladies tricks
Now i ran across a girl one day
She was as sharp as a girl could be
And i wasnt suprised to hear her say
That she really went for me
She said i was The Best Man
Whoever knocked on her door
She said i was the best man
The fella she’d waited for
She said i was the best man
At dancing and nobody can deny
That when it came to romancing
I was the a+ number 1 guy
But then she met i best friend
And knocked him right off his pins
But still i wasnt worried
Cos the best man always wins
The way it all turned out
There was no doubt
That i was best man in the end
Yes
I was the best man
When she married my best friend
Lyrics:
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.
And still I dream he’ll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather…
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
