Ici et maintenant, c’est tout ce qui compte,Cueillir la saveur de l’instant
Ici et maintenant, à chaque seconde
Je me nourris du présent…

Dans les vagues de Biarritz disparaît le fracas du monde
Pas un jour pas un solstice sans l’écume qui vagabonde
Au fond des âmes brûle un sésame
C’est le présent qui s’enflamme

Dans les mots que tu me glisses
: des secondes suspendues
Faudrait il que j’abolisse le temps qui passe et les vertus
Je laisse fuir les âmes d’artistes, les sentiments hédonistes…

Dans les rides de tes yeux, les minutes ralentissent
Dans tes gestes voluptueux se dessinent les délices

Ici et maintenant, Dans la douceur
Que donne le souffle du temps
Ici et maintenant, c’est tout ce qui compte,
Cueillir la saveur de l’instant
Ici et maintenant, à chaque seconde
Je me nourris du présent…

English translation :

HERE AND NOW

Here and now, that's all that matters
Pick the flavor of the moment
Here and now, every second
I feed on the present ...

In the waves of Biarritz,
disappears the
turmoil
of the world
Not a day,
not a solstice without the foam that roams
Deep in the
soul burns a
sesame
It's the present that ignites
it.

In the words you
whispered: suspended seconds
Should I abolish the passage of time and the virtues
I let the souls of artists flee, the hedonistic feelings ...

In the wrinkles of your eyes, the minutes slow down
In your voluptuous gestures
we see
the delight
Here and now, In the sweetness

Which time
breathes
Here and now, that's all that matters
Pick the flavor of the moment
Here and now, every second
I feed on the present ...

Gotta keep on movingGotta find a way to get close to youHelp me keep on moving, gottastay on my feet if I wanna get close to youI’m not bad at moving, when I gotta,And I just don’t know what else to do
Gotta keep my head up, everyNow and then look up to the skyBeen so low I don’t recall what the
Leaves on the trees look likeI’m doing my best,But won’t you help me with the rest
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stayYou gotta ask
If only I could love youI would spend all night getting close to youIf only I could love you I would
Be the one you could call yoursOh it sounds so pretty,
But if I don’t show you know I’m so unsure
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stay
You gotta ask
I won’t say it won’t work if youSay you’ll do the same
Hold myself still,StopAnd get myself to stayBut every time I tryYou just slip off to the sideAnd I keep moving
Oh while I’m still breathing
I’m moving fastIf you want me to stayYou gotta ask x2

I left home when I was 17Just to see if the grass was really green4 years deep of things left behindbut you know I’ve got it all still on my mind
Bet you’ve already heard a song like thisOne that ends in that perfect farewell kissBut I won’t play that same old gameNot that flawless role we all seem to wanna play
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
I love you now that you want me toAnd that’s not something I usually doDigging up the roots of this old oak treeIs just a little harder than I thought it’d be
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame
I gave you the key to let yourself inTo that secret place nobody’s ever beenYou peaked your head inside and looked aroundI can only hope you won’t let me down
I don’t know if you seeJust how much you mean to meSo let me know what you findIn this sheltered heart of mine
In your hands my heavy heartNowhere to put all the shameGive me back my fragileness
And please take some of the blame

I’ve been down and under
don’t know what’s going onI’ve been down and under

Heard from my baby yesterdayhe said that he’s doing fineheard from my baby yesterdayhe said he’s doing fineso damn hard to hear him smile I nearly lost my mind‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
Been looking for good companyto help me clear my headI’ve been looking for good company
to help me clear my headOne more night by my own side won’t get me out of bed‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
They told me just to wait it outthese blues will come and gotold me just to wait it outthese blues will come and gobut days keep getting colder and the sun don’t seem to show‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
I’ve been down and under
don’t know what’s going onI’ve been down and under
don’t know what I’m doing wrongAin’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

Looking out canʼt you see

Itʼs only us

We donʼt need the things that others said were true

Take your time

Donʼt need to rush

Love of mine put your trust in me weʼll fade out to the blue

Follow me in to all

We could be

Letʼs just fall in to a place where we donʼt know

It could be everything

Weʼd ever need

Sink or swim weʼll never have to love alone

Looking out canʼt you see

Itʼs enough

We didnʼt need the things that others said were true

I donʼt really know what it is Iʼm supposed to do

My friends they go quiet when conversation turns to you

They said I should go out and just find somebody new

Thatʼs just their point of view
But

Iʼd rather just wait on you




We go up and we go down like lovers often do

Sometimes itʼs bliss

Sometimes itʼs blue

People like to comment but they just donʼt have a clue

Thatʼs just their point of view

But Iʼd rather just wait on you

Maybe later in the night time

When the town has gone to sleep

You could call me on the coastline

We could speak

You could ask me where Iʼve been

I can ask you where you are

We could dance around the reason

Weʼre so far



Ooo thereʼs nothing we can do

But hold on

A little bit longe
Weʼll be with each other soon




Then I woke up in the morning

Had at a dream that you were here

I could feel myself falling

And it became clear




Ooo thereʼs nothing we can do

But hold on

A little bit longer

A little bit longer

Weʼll be with each other

Weʼll be with each other soon

Come on over in the morning

As the night starts to slide

We can watch the shadows falling In to light

Throwing stones at my window

Quiet steps down the stars

Thereʼs a place only we know

We share

Wide open

Wide open love

Wide open

Wide open love

And the streets seem so empty

Only us in the road

Youʼre the only one that makes me

Less alone

Wide open

Wide open love

Wide open Wide open love

Wide open

Wide open love

Wide open

Wide open love

Wide open

Wide open love

Wide open

Wide open love

Wide open

Wide open love

Wide open

Wide open love

You know just what to do with your heart

I know hiding itʼs your favourite part

You know just how much to reveal

I know, Iʼm caught up, head over heels

Mmmm

How could I miss what I never had?

Mmmm

If this ainʼt love why does it hurt so bad?

You call just when I think that youʼre gone

I fall back to where I was before

We spin round and around in a wheel

Never saying just how we feel

Mmmm

How could I miss what I never had?

Mmmm

If this ainʼt love why does it hurt so bad?

Mmmm

How could I miss what I never had?

Mmmm

If this ainʼt love why does it hurt so bad?

We spin around round round round

We spin around round round

We spin around round round round

We spin around round round

We spin around round round round

(How could I miss what I never had?)

We spin around round round
We spin around round round round

(If this ainʼt love why does it hurt so bad?)

We spin around round round

Somewhere where the streets are blue

Somewhere where the crowds are few

Somewhere where no one knows our name

Somewhere I can be with you

Together where the air is new

Baby we could feel good again

Wind the windows down

Put on your favourite song

Weʼll escape this town

Find a place where we belong

Somewhere on the avenue

We can rent a room for two

Just to lie and listen to the rain

Wind the windows down

Put on your favourite song

Weʼll escape this town

Find a place where we belong

Wind the windows down

Put on your favourite song

Weʼll escape this town

Find a place where we belong

If you want this side of me
If you hope there’s more to see
You can’t wait, this time tomorrow
You’ll be still holding on, I guarantee.

Come taste the water, taste the day
I’m an ocean, you’re the bay.
It’s been said that I’m an outlaw
With too much time to steal away.

You know, you know that I could never change
They say, you say, there’s need to disarrange.
And all I hear are lies that re-appear
And despite all this you still want this side of me.

God give me peace,
God give me rest
I need time to re-assess.
You see I’m tired, but that’s life though
I still hold my convictions to the test.

You know…
