Sing Your Song

I believe in the church of your heart.

There's no escape for the brokenhearted. There's no return once you lost your way.

I can't go back and I can't move on.
I'm lost in a world where you belong.
And I'm crying now, and I'm reaching out.
I want to hold you, make everything right.

(x2)
Susan, where have you gone? I don't know what went wrong
But I want you to know
That you're still in my head after all that's been said.
I want you, come home!

Ooh! There's so much to say to you.
I'm still waiting here for you, for you.

Susan, where have you gone? I don't know what went wrong
But I want you to know (Susan)
That you're still in my head (oh, you're still in my head)
After all that's been said.
I want you, come home! (Come home)
Susan, where have you gone? (Susan, where have you gone)
I don't know what went wrong
But I want you to know (to know)
That you're still in my head (oh, you're still in my head)
After all that's been said.
I want you (ooh) come home! (Come home)

Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

[Part 1]
[Masterpiece intro]

What a wonderful day, everything is OK.
Not a problem in mind, leave your worries behind
Except for that little doubt you have, concerning your dress tonight.
So you take a bottle of French wine and then you say you don't live twice.
You cast the dice.

Masterpiece, you should have seen it
That rainbow in the moonglow.
Masterpiece, you got to live it
That new dawn tomorrow.

(Driving down through Beverly Hills)
[Keyboard solo]

[Part 2]
[Happy Children keyboard and guitar solos]

Always the war in 1983, this is the world of today (oh).
In our minds, there is only the money and there is nothing for you.
Then hours work, no flowers in the mind, the life runs without happiness (oh).
Every day dreams to go to better life, but they remain only dreams.

You are the children, your life will be very hard.
You are the children, you're singing every day.

[Guitar solo]

[Part 3]
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh. (x4)

Jungle life, I'm far away from nowhere
On my own like Tarzan Boy.
Hide and seek, I play along while rushing cross the forest
Monkey business on a sunny afternoon.
Jungle life, I'm living in the open
Native beat that carries on.
Burning bright, a fire that blows the signal to the sky
I sit and wonder, does the message get to you?

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh. (x4)

Night to night, gimme the other, gimme the other chance tonight.
Night to night, gimme the other, gimme the other world.

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh. (x4)

[Part 4]
[I Like Chopin intro]

Remember that piano, so delightful, unusual.
That classic sensation, sentimental confusion.
Used to say I like Chopin, love me now and again, oh!

(x2)
Rainy days never say goodbye to desire when we are together.
Rainy days growing in your eyes, tell me where's my way!

[Keyboard and guitar solos]

(Aaaah)

(x2)
Rainy days never say goodbye to desire when we are together.
Rainy days growing in your eyes, tell me where's my way!

[Keyboard outro]

I have failed so many times
Entering your mind
Entering your mind

[Spoken intro]
Somewhere in Europe
A meditating girl keeps waiting
For her guide at a restaurant terrace.
And far from the girl's sight
Her guide is taking pictures of the place
Making him unrecognizable
From the tourists on it.
She has to wave him, but she's very shy.
Her tears are about to flow on her face
Despite her glowing smile.

So that I see and know I gave reason
The time to believe, it's all in my head.
The sun that I see is just an illusion
And I... Live close to the edge.


This time taking time, this sun, sun is high
Sang a tune, sang a tune, sang a tune.

Everybody talks to you, everybody talks to you
Turning like it ought to, turning like a wise will
Saying like it hasn't.

Soul see, soul set, soul see, soul set.



Calling her name, called in nirvana
Time and again alone that I work.
Take this and more and time in together
And why are... You close to the edge?


They say, just to add, the wilder world is a trap.
I see just to add you to that
For he was the sun, the comet rushing along
And she, new to that, turned her back.

Does everybody talk to you? Everybody talks to you
Turning like it ought to, taking it away.

Soul see, soul set, soul see, soul set.
Soul see, soul set, soul see, soul set.

I drove all night, walk you from your sleep to make love to you!

Ah ah ah, ah ah...
Ah ah ah, ah ah! Tralala.

Ah ah ah, ah ah...
Ah ah ah, ah ah!
Tu es là ? Tu écoutes ? Où es-tu ?
Tu es là ? Tu écoutes ? Où es-tu ?
Please, please, let me know
If it's possible to love you so! Tralala.

Ah ah ah, ah ah...
Ah ah ah, ah ah!
Tu sais que je suis folle de toi et tu es fou de moi.
Amour, tu es ma lune et je suis ta petite étoile.
Tu sais que je suis folle de toi et tu es fou de moi.
Si je suis Mona Lisa, tu es mon petit Léo.
Tu es là ? Tu écoutes ? Où es-tu ?
Tu es là ? Tu écoutes ? Où es-tu ?

Tralala.
Je voudrais savoir
S'il n'est pas possible de faire comme ça.
You used to call me every day and every single night.
The moon and stars were shining, filling up and brought a light.
You used to call me every day and every single night.
I wish you could be mine again and I'll be your delight.

Ah ah ah, ah ah...
Ah ah ah, ah ah!
Ah ah ah, ah ah...
Ah ah ah (ah ah ah)

Tu es là ? Tu écoutes ? Où es-tu ?
Tu es là ? Tu écoutes ? Où es-tu ?

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark

Thrills don't come for free
The price you pay for dreams

Never too late.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai envie de vivre autrement
De continuer à aimer autant
Malgré les coups et les jalousies.
Et mon esprit continue ainsi
Même si la vie est un pari.

It's never too late, we've still got time.
It's never too late, you can still be mine.
It's never too late to change your mind.

L'humanité pourrait enfin essayer
De transformer les mentalités
Vers plus d'amour et de tolérance.
Et mon esprit continue ainsi
Même si la vie est un pari.

It's never too late, we've still got time.
It's never too late, you can still be mine.
It's never too late to change your mind.
It's never too late, too late, too late.
Never too late, too late, too late.
It's never too late to change your mind.

Vivre à deux
Pour toujours repousser la vanité.
Tu devrais ouvrir les yeux
Sur ce paradis qu'on t'a donné ! Hou!

(Keyboard solo)

Il n'est jamais trop tard pour ouvrir les bras.
Et mon esprit continue ainsi
Même si la vie est un pari.

It's never too late, we've still got time.
It's never too late, you can still be mine.
It's never too late to change your mind.
It's never too late, too late, too late.
Never too late, too late, too late.
Never too late to change your mind.

Never too late to change your mind.

Never too late to change your mind, yeah.

Entre une carcasse de tôle et un cerisier en fleurs
Se balance, au gré du vent, une fille bronzée qui pleure.
Elle espère le retour de celui qu'elle aime dans son cœur
Son amour de voyou qu'est derrière les verrous.

Son amour de voyou qu'est derrière les verrous. (x3)

Les bidons, les tas d'ferraille, cour dépotoir, jardin décharge
Nichée au fond d'un hamac, le tempo au bout des doigts
Sur un air nonchalant de reggae, elle laisse filer ses pensées
Son amour de voyou qu'est derrière les verrous.

Son amour de voyou qu'est derrière les verrous. (x3)

(Violin solo)

Et le temps qui passe loin de lui, sans chaleur
Par la faute du vilain joujou d'un bricoleur amateur.
Et quand il sortira, elle saura le tenir dans ses bras
Son amour de voyou qu'est derrière les verrous.

Son amour de voyou qu'est derrière les verrous. (x3)
Ah !
Son amour de voyou qu'est derrière les verrous. (x3)

I was looking for peace, then you came to call me down.
I was looking for sounds, then your voice turned me around.
I was looking for kindness, then you smiled at me only.
I was aching for true feelings, that my sorrow went away.

(x2)
More than I wished for.
You're so much more than I wished for.

(Guitar solo)

There's no need to crave.
There's no need to pray.

I was lucky for peace.
Lucky for peace. (x4)

I was looking for light, then you led me to the sun
Was afraid to walk, now you're here and I am right.
I was stuck in foregrounds, then you took me to the sea.
I was wishing for dreams, maybe... Now you're all mine, can't you see?

(Guitar solo)

(x2)
More than I wished for.
You're so much more than I wished for.

There's no need to pray, I got you.
There's no need to crave, I got you.
There's no need to pray, I got you.
There's no need to crave, I got you.
There's no need to pray, I got you.
There's no need to crave, I got you.
There's no need to pray, I got you.
What more could I want when i got you?
There's no need to pray.
There's no need to crave.
There's no need to pray, those feelings.
There's no need to crave.

It was a night to remember
All these feelings I can't erase from my heart

* offtopic :
Before the song : I wear a large black hat, but no sunglasses for this song, my back to the audience. Mitch puts the rhythm section on programming and Max rolls a Holborn from his pack, not for now. I said I would not sing this song beforehand, since others did cover it but tonight, I'm breaking the codes. Intro starts, then I turn my back as the main riffs appears, and I remove my black hat before singing. I have set the key to the How Will I Know song.

See the stone set in your eye, see the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Slight of hand and twist of fate, on a bed of nails, he makes me wait.
I wait without you.
With or without you. (x2)

Through the storm we reach the shore, you give it all but I want more.
I wait without you.
You don't need to be so sure, speaking of pleasure, heart is pure.
I wait for you.
With or without you.
|Upper register] With or without you, ah, I can't live with or without you.

[Guitar riff]

And you give yourself away (x2)
And you give (x2)
And you give yourself away.
[Whitney's part]
There's a boy I know, he's the one I'm dreaming of.
Ain't no doubt, uh-uh, take me to the clouds above.
[End of Whitney's part]

My hands are tight, my body bruised.
He's got me with nothing to win and nothing left to lose.

And you give yourself away (x2)
And you give (x2)
And you give yourself away.

With or without you (x2)
Ah!
I can't live with or without you.(x2)
With or without you (x2)
Ah!

[Drums explosion]

Ohhhhhh! (x3)

[More guitar riffs before the last chorus]

With or without you (x2)
Ah!
I can't live with or without you.
With or without you.

[Intro guitar riff]

Aaaaaaaahhhhh. (x2)

Got the Somewhere/Sometime diptych? Sure, here it is, in a short form.

[Piano]

It's always like this : people I know
Read many books and save every dream
And somewhere, a man cries for his love
A love that is lost and withered too soon.
Always like this : people I know
Read many books and save every dream
And somewhere, a man cries for his love
A love that is lost and withered too soon.

This, this, this : people I know
Read many books and save every dream
And somewhere, a man cries for his love
A love that is lost and withered too soon.
Always like this.
People I, people I, people I, people I
People I, people I, people I know
With all of his hope buried sometime... Somewhere!

[Piano, then jammed-mechanism piano]

So all you can say is we need more time
To get through the things that need to be said.
Even if it takes a lifetime of trust
To build something strong, what happens to us?
All you can say is we need more time
To get through the things that need to be said.
Even if it takes a lifetime of trust

This, this, this : people I know

A love that is lost and withered too soon.
Always like this.
People I, people I, people I, people I
People I, people I, people I know
With all of his hope buried sometime... Somewhere!
GO!

So here is the fast digital dream...
[Part 1]
Walking on a dream, how can I explain?
Talking to myself, will I see again?
We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it
Always pushing up that hill, searching for the thrill of it.
On and on and on, we are calling out and out again.
Never looking down, I'm just in awe of what's in front of me.

(x2)
Is it real now when two people become one?
I can feel now when two people become one.

Catch me, I'm falling down. (x2)

[Part 2]
Last night I had a dream about you.
In this dream, I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
The kind of feeling I've waited so long.
Don't stop, come a little closer.
As we jam, the rhythm gets stronger.
There's nothing wrong with just a little, little fun.
We were dancing all night long.
The time is right to put my arms around you.
You're feeling right, you wrap your arms around too
But suddenly, I feel the shining sun.
Before I knew it, this dream was all gone.

(x2)
Oh, I don't know what to do
About this dream and you, we'll make this dream come true.

[Guitar solo]
(Possibility to include the keyboard solo afterwards)

[Part 3]
You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere.
Maybe we make a deal, maybe together we can get somewhere.
Any place is better, starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Maybe we'll make something, me, myself, I got nothing to prove.
You got a fast car, I got a plan to get us out of here.
I've been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money.
Won't have to drive too far, just across the border, into the city.
You and I can both get jobs, finally see what it means to be living.
You got a fast car, fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision, leave tonight or live and die this way.

[Keyboard solo]

So remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk.
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
I, I had a feeling that I belonged.
I, I had a feeling that I...
Could be someone
Had a feeling that I...
Could
Be someone. (x2)

[Outro]
[Rhythm slowing down]

You got a fast car, fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision, leave tonight or live and die this way.

Everybody, hmmm.

Everything takes a little time to just work it out.
You can always change your mind if you heard it out.

If you're moving your soul everywhere you go
Out on your own, you feel it and you know.

Everybody!
Give a little love, all around.

Satisfy the need in me... Only you can see.
Baby, even when the light's fading out, don't forget what it's all about
'Cause you're bringing me down, just give myself anew.
All through the night, you know just what to do.

My friend Jack eats sugarlumps (x2)
Oh, what beautiful things he sees. (x2)

He's on a voyage across an ocean
Waves off his mind, sense and motion
Lost in a wonderland of colour and of sound.

My friend Jack eats sugarlumps (x2)
Oh, what beautiful things he sees. (x2)

He's seeing things you can't imagine
Landscapes and sounds revealing to him
More than a million shapes the eye could never see.

Can't you see how happy he is? Nothing seems to put him down.
People think that he's just crazy, he's the weirdest cap in town.

[Percussion solo]

My friend Jack. (x4)

My friend Jack eats sugarlumps (x2)
Sugarman hasn't got a care, he's been travelling everywhere.

He's seen the people in the city
And the bright lights, they're awful pretty
He's followed dusty tracks into eternity.

Eating sugar cane in Cuba, tried to grow it in Japan
On the West Coast, he's real famous, kids all call him Sugarman.

[Percussion solo]
[Guitar solo]

Been on a voyage across an ocean
Heard the sweet sounds of wheels in motion
He's seen the hawk fly high to hail the setting sun.
