The streets of Paris
They say that some are paved in gold
I’ve walked along these streets in the sun and rain and snow
I’m not sure about the riches or the glamour that I’m told
As I’m getting older
The streets of Paris
They say the Seine has untold souls
They’ve wandered through these streets
Meeting no one who made them whole
I’m not sure about these riches or the glamour that unfolds
As I’m getting older
You’re never too old to have some fun
Never too old to jump or run
Just take off those shoes and feel the tingle in your toes
Never too old to rock and roll, rock and roll
Do you rock and roll?
The streets of Pariså
Oh they say you can be king
You can love ‘til you can no more and laugh
‘til your heart begins to sing
I’m not sure about these riches and the glamour that I’m told
As I am getting older
You’re never too old to have some fun
Never too old to jump or run
Just take off those shoes and feel the tingle in your toes
Never too old to rock and roll, rock and roll
Do you rock and roll?

Tu es libre
03:21
|

Pour moi la vie n’est pas la vie en rose
Pour toi, tu peux faire beaucoup de choses
Tu pars comme tu veux comme l’oiseau qui se vole
Librement – oui, tu es libre, libre
Moi, je reste sur cette terre. J’ai envie de faire
Beaucoup de choses qui sont dans ma tête…oooh ma tête
Des images de liberté, de liberté
BRIDGE
On vient de la même racine
Les hommes et les femmes notre origine
C’est la terre …c’est cette terre
Notre planète entre la lune et le ciel
Protegez-nous, protegez-nous
Prenez-moi dans votre abri l’abri de securité
Pas dans une tente sous la pluie et la gravité
La vie pourrie
Faites-moi des calins
Donnez-moi une solution
Calmez-moi, calmez-moi
Embrassez cette tête, cette tête qui souffre des incertitutdes
Incertitudes
BRIDGE
On vient de la même racine
Les hommes et les femmes notre origine
C’est la terre …c’est cette terre
Notre planète entre la lune et le ciel
Protegez-nous, protegez-nous
Pour moi la vie n’est pas comme la vie en rose
Pour toi, tu peux faire beaucoup de choses
Tu es libre, oui libre – tu es libre

Hear me now
04:37
|

Hear me now
Can’t you see my life is broken
Hear me now
Can’t you see I’ve not yet spoken
See me now
I have crossed the stormy ocean
See me now
I’ve escaped the devastation
Through the wind and rain and the sleepless night
I was only trying to survive, trying to survive – survive
BRIDGE:
Hope is all we’ve got as we listen to the silence of the sea
I see, sea land beyond the darkness as I shiver
Head between my knees – in the darkness
With the faces still me, with me
Listen now
Can you hear the children crying
Listen now
Can you see the mothers trying?
Help us now
Can you show the road to freedom
Help us now, please protect us from the demons
Through the wind and rain and the sleepless nights
We were only trying to survive, trying to survive – survive
BRIDGE:
Hope is all we’ve got as we listen to the silence of the sea
I see, sea land beyond the darkness as I shiver
Head between my knees – in the darkness
With the faces still me, with me
Hear me now
Can’t you see my life is broken?

C'est l'amour
02:55
|
|||
Voilà le chemin qui nous amène vers la fin
Prends ma main, ne t’inquiète pas
Prends ma main, ne t’inquiète pas – je suis là
Nous sommes unique
Numéro un numéro un
Pour lutter contre la haine, oui contre la haine
Nous sommes l’amour
Regarde ce monde – comment est-il
Si sauvage même avec tout ce qu’on a
Même avec tout ce qu’on a
Des milliers de belles choses
Et des richesses – il ne nous reste qu’une chose
Qui dure dans ce monde – c’est l’amour
Oui c’est l’amour.

Luck in love
04:18

She walks up those wooden stairs
They tell a story of how many times she tried her luck in love
She fumbles with her keys, slowly opens the door – no one’s at home
Too many times her heart’s been broken
She wants so much to be loved tenderly
Send her someone who’s kind and loving
Someone strong – a sense of honesty
A sense of honesty
Oh, what am I doing always on the wrong side of love?
What is it I’m searching for?
Do I try again to look for love or do I learn to love me more?
But I want to share these emotions with someone who takes me for who I am
Laughs at my stupid jokes and my awkward ways
Knows how to handle me when I get too emotional
I get too emotional
BRIDGE
21st century girl – with an old-fashioned heart
21st century girl – doesn’t know where to start when it comes to love
When it comes to love
She takes her coffee to her desk and stares at the busy screen
Then she begins to dream
Dreams of the person who’ll take her away to far off lands and sunny places
Maybe I’m just asking too much
Maybe I have these high expectations
For someone sincere to love, someone to carry the load sometimes
To carry the load sometimes
BRIDGE
21st century girl, with an old-fashioned heart
21st century girl, doesn’t know where to start when it comes to love,
When it comes to love
She walks up those wooden stairs
They tell a story of how she found her luck in love.

I'll be back around
02:57

Asking me to change into someone you love
What you wanted of me being who I am was not enough. Wasnt' what you expected to see.
Keep going round in circles, keep going round in circles.
Give me time to work things out for myself Expectations of me are too heavy
Let me take the road I’ve chosen
I can’t stop these wheels in motion
And whatever you hear about me
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
I’ll be back around, I’ll be back around, I’ll be back around
It may seem I’m ungrateful but it’s far from the truth Believe me I’m so thankful, I just want to say “I love you” Wasn’t what you expected to hear
We keep going round in circles, keep going round in circles
Give me time to work things out for myself Expectations of me are too heavy hmmm Let me take the road I’ve chosen
I can’t stop these wheels in motion
And whatever you hear about me
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
I’ll be back around, I’ll be back around, I’ll be back around
Oh I’ll be back around
Oh I’ll be back around
Keep going round in circles We keep going round in circles Keep going round in circles
Oh I’ll be back around

My town
04:00
|
|||
Remember the bar where we had our first date,
Its been closed down and left to decay
Peer through the glass, a stool on its side
abandoned and left there to die
If eyes are the windows into your soul
What then are windows- what the hell do they show?
Boarded up shopfronts, lights have gone out
Piles of flyers, there’s no-one around
I know you
Never known anyone better
I know you
Any you know me
There’s the old dance hall, they’re tearing it down
There’s nothing left in this terminal town
Still, every morning, the people go by
Where do they go, what keeps them alive?
If eyes are the windows into your soul
What then are windows- what the hell do they show?
Boarded up shopfronts, lights have gone out
Remember the bar where we had our first date,
Its been closed down and left to decay
Peer through the glass, a stool on its side
abandoned and left there to die

Milo's song

Go to sleep my little one
Mama’s going to hold you til the morning comes
May you live a long long life
With no worries no more strife
May the sun always keep you warm
And the air to make you strong
Sleep little one sleep
Sleep in my arms where you belong
Go to sleep my little one
Papa’s going to hold you til the evening comes
May the road ahead be clear
Without sorrow no more tears
May the sun always shine on you
May your courage see you through
Sleep little one sleep
Here in my arms close to my heart where you belong
Go to sleep my little one
Sister’s going to hold you til the day is done
We can play outside today
Without fear of hiding away
We can see the stars tonight
And wish for things to be alright
Sleep little one sleep
Here is my arms close to my heart where you belong.

Believe in love
03:03
|

He loves you madly you know
Why are you letting him go?
Each time love knocks on your door
You turn it away, you just turn it away
This world is full of love songs and
it’s drowning in too many wrongs
But you’ve got to believe in love, believe in love
I know how many times you’ve been uncertain – oh my friend
You give so much and ask so little, you keep giving, giving and giving
But this man he understands you
He’s the one you always call on
He believes in you, don’t push him away,
Believes in you, Believe in love
The child in me is still crying out
Let me be until I make sense of it
Give me peace and comfort
Give me peace and your love, your love
He loves you crazy
Why are you standing alone?
Each time love comes your way,
Just say hello and let her in, please let her
This world is full of love songs and
it’s drowning in too many wrongs
But you’ve got to believe in love, believe in love

Remember you

Woman – break off those chains on you
Liberation is a silent name in your land.
Woman – pull away the reins from you
Emancipation is just a foreign word, just a foreign word.
If I could change your fate
What a miracle it would be
It’s written now forever – your story
Through the flames and the ashes
Through the flames
We will remember you
Remember you.
Woman – run wild with the wind behind you
Your spirit’s free now, oh yes - no more pain
Woman – rest gently on the grass and the earth
You’re innocent, we know the truth, innocent we know the truth
If I could change your fate
What a miracle it would be
It’s written now forever – your story
Through the flames and the ashes
Through the flames
We will remember you
Remember you.
Woman – a beacon in these darkened days
Gracious angel in this mad, mad world
Woman – your time cut short by vicious fools
You reached that shining star but fell, reached the shining star
If I could change your fate
What a miracle it would be
It’s written forever now – your story
Through the flames and the ashes
Through the flames and the ashes
We will remember you, remember you
Save my soul now people
Save my soul…
My body’s on fire
Help me now, save me now, save me please 3X
Woman pull off those chains that bind you
Liberation is coming to your land….

The streets of Paris
They say that some are paved in gold
I’ve walked along these streets in the sun and rain and snow
I’m not sure about the riches or the glamour that I’m told
As I’m getting older
The streets of Paris
They say the Seine has untold souls
They’ve wandered through these streets
Meeting no one who made them whole
I’m not sure about these riches or the glamour that unfolds
As I’m getting older
You’re never too old to have some fun
Never too old to jump or run
Just take off those shoes and feel the tingle in your toes
Never too old to rock and roll, rock and roll
Do you rock and roll?
The streets of Pariså
Oh they say you can be king
You can love ‘til you can no more and laugh
‘til your heart begins to sing
I’m not sure about these riches and the glamour that I’m told
As I am getting older
You’re never too old to have some fun
Never too old to jump or run
Just take off those shoes and feel the tingle in your toes
Never too old to rock and roll, rock and roll
Do you rock and roll?
