The day 04:28
THE DAY For everyone there is the day The day of the meeting The hoped but unexpected encounter The day you meet the one When all the chances gather To re-unite two souls And bring them together The day How could I be so rude when I met You on this boat? I just laughed at you and said “Oh no! Another French Boy on this boat!” I was more the kind for Love at second sight I was young and blind That day Now I would give everything that I have To live that day again I would look deep into your eyes and say “That’s just a start my friend!” I would jump on you To clearly let you know This the day weirdo The day!

THE WORDS I SING I go where The golden glints gather I follow Their lights and I whisper The words I sing Carry hope like spring I’m fed up with the gloomy, the dark and the grim The words I sing Carry hope like spring I wanna have the sun everyday on my skin They’ll take me To the borders of the world Where the seas Fall in the Milky Way The words I sing Carry hope like spring I’m fed up with the gloomy, the dark and the grim The words I sing Carry hope like spring I wanna have the sun everyday on my skin I will kiss The sea drops in the air Should I jump? Please just remember that … The words I sing Carry hope like spring I’m fed up with the gloomy, the dark and the grim The words I sing Carry hope like spring I wanna have the sun everyday on my skin Auteur: Guillaume Cousin

MY SUPERIOR WORLD The clouds are bright Shadows are weak Hurdles disappear Smooth are my hands My lifelines change They seem to expand What is this scene? Where my voice screams “This is happiness” Hills are glowing Is this still real life? Sheltered in our love Like sparrows in their grove You will always be My only family My superior world Your thousand laughs Echoe and spread Music in my head Within our hearts Words are flying Strangely different How come our fears Their raging noise Are now fading out? We are one blood We are just one soul Sheltered in our love Like sparrows in their grove You will always be My only family My superior world Auteur: Guillaume Cousin

OUR GROOVY UNTUNED LOVE It’s not those mics called the “overheads” And it’s not those crystals that fit into the palm of my hands No they won’t crack the safe where I piled hundreds of words just for you Will you try to keep me even if I never break the silence ? You’re my “doudou” boy, you’re my hut, you are my intimate shed I like our groovy love even if we are obviously untuned We’ll have to gamble Conceal our secrets We’ll have to set aside Our rusty strings Lead and metals pointed upon us Our dislocated concerto Shine and shine with our groovy frequencies Shall we try to keep on even if we’re never in tune ? You’re my “doudou” boy, you’re my hut, you are my intimate shed I like our groovy love even if we are obviously untuned And if it was a perfect love, it wouldn’t be the same tune Wouldn’t you miss those dirty sounds… untuned ? Untuned… Auteur: Guillaume Cousin

JUGGLING WITH 3 HEARTS I’m juggling with 3 hearts in my hands 2 will fall and I guess 1 will stand No one knows how long I can pretend No one knows if this game ever ends My heart bounces again Damages in sight Will I ever bend? I wonder if I might I’ll have to set my 3 hearts on fire This is a dizzy trick in a weird fair And around me curious people gather They drool when hearts do burn in the air My heart dances again Damages in sight Will I ever bend? I wonder if I might Auteur: Guillaume Cousin

I’LL TAKE YOU UNDERGROUND One day if you don’t mind I’ll take you underground Where the freaks dance around Under the vaults of a forgotten cave There’ll be crazy bands Acting extremely strangely There might be monster gangs Who knows what arises when you’re open to change? And we’ll be sliding in the dark With magnifying glasses It all seems to be so stark But we love seedy places And this black will be as bright As the rays of the sunlight And the colours of their smiles Will paint our lips in mauve And I’ll stop holding back Those words “I love you” A flood of words will gush up We’ll speak and speak endlessly We’ll fill our eyes with passion Under the vaults of the forgotten cave Lifted up by the moment Overwhelmed with emotions Our hearts will skip a few beats Who knows what arises when you’re open to change? I know your heart is different You don’t resemble what you are So one day if you don’t mind I’d like to take you underground Where the black will be as bright As the rays of the sunlight And the colours of the smiles Will paint our lips in mauve And I’ll stop holding Those words “I love you” Auteur: Guillaume Cousin

My remedy 03:14
MY REMEDY Good bye Farewell Today I leave I can take a plane to anywhere I wonder where you are and if you care I think I’ll go to Salta A city located in Argentina I was told there is a Moon Valley You might be sleeping there wearily I’d wake you up with a kiss you’d be my magical dream Life is quite curious Love is fairly vicious I’m kind of hilarious All the time That’s my remedy To this huge comedy I laugh and I pee On the time And I walk on space To ward off my silly fate If you’re not in Salta I’ll move up to South Bolivia To Uyuni You might be waiting on l’Isla Del Sol Sitting on a giant cactus tree And if I don’t find you there I will take a chance on the Easter Island It all comes down to magic over there It’s full of stones and undiscovered caves There’ll be a gentle spirit to interfere Life is quite curious Love is fairly vicious I’m kind of hilarious All the time That’s my remedy To this huge comedy I laugh and I pee On the time And I walk on space To ward off my silly fate Auteur: Guillaume Cousin

A PRECIOUS MOMENT You wake up Wrapped in your dreams You start to stretch like a cat The sun shines It’s Sunday morning And I feel free as a bird And I love you The grain of your skin Spreads sparkles in me We’re lazy We share a few kisses Embrace tenderly We’ll leave the world behind and keep lying in the sun Is time really passing by or are we kind of eternal? In the air Flavours of fresh bread And delicious coffee The bell rung Eleven times It could have been billions more (and) Outside Children are playing We hear them laughing I know You enjoy it Though you’ve never really loved me Whatever we are and whatever we feel There are precious moments we should never throw away In the beauty of this morning, we’ll just pretend to be one We’ll try to find a name for the kids we’ll never have Whatever we are and whatever we feel There are precious moments we should never throw away Auteur: Guillaume Cousin

CAN WE CHANGE ? There ain’t nobody that I know Can claim he always acts freely Under pressure we surrender Can’t we speak out against it ? We’re like stuck in a winter Where the cold pinches our skin The wind does squeeze in everywhere Freezing our faces with fear Can we stop ? Can we change ? Can we try to do something useful in the end? I‘ll bring the sun and warm you up I’ll say “Don’t give in, keep it up”, Have some food and have a rest And let your soul just do the rest” I know your hearts are different Please stop smothering their beats! I know your inner nature man I know you could be innocent! Can we stop ? Can we change ? Can we try to do something useful in the end? In all my dreams you stand up free And proudly give that look at me I would see how life is strong Flowing from your gigantic eyes I’d say “Happy, I’m so happy! I’m gonna paint myself in green I’m gonna jump like a hopper Above the seas above the skies” Can we stop ? Can we change ? Can we try to do something useful in the end? Auteur: Guillaume Cousin

LET US BE FRIENDS Hey baby, I don’t think that you understand You’re turning, you’re turning, You are turning around me but I’ve got a man Well do you need a written notice as a fact? Are you rea, are you rea, Are you really stupid or do you just pretend? I’m already taken and I say Let us be friends, let us be friends again Don’t you see that you ain’t deceiving nobody Your uncea, your uncea Your unceasing sempering ways get on my nerves Don’t put on such airs showing so much soppiness Please relax, have a rest, And then come back to me when you get over it You’re nice and cute oh little boy Let us be friends, let us be friends again Let us be friends, don’t try to charm me Let us be friends, don’t put the blame on me Let us be friends, please keep it cool baby Let us be friends, just find another lover!
