Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

For your own good
Call me tonight
Don't you think you should
Call me tonight ?
Life isn't easy
So why don't you stay
With the lover you need
And not the devil you pay?
For your own good
Call me tonight

For your own good
Call me tonight
Don't you think I could
Make a difference tonight?
When you need a lover
And it's so cold outside
I could help you recover
From pain that you hide
Life isn't easy
So why don't you stay
With the lover you need
And not the devil you pay?
For your own good
Call me tonight

Come on, call me

Call me tonight
I'll make you feel good
Come on, call me
Come on, call me
Call me tonight
I'll make you feel good
Want your body
Want your body

Come on, call me
Come on, call me

For your own good
Call me tonight

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me hope
Give me all your love
Tell me now
You're coming home tonight
Have some faith
In the love we share
Is it fate ?
Does darkness end in light ?

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Where'd you go ?
Did you lose your way ?
Tell me now
You're coming back to stay
In my hopes
Paradise is real
Horoscopes
Can't forecast how we'll feel

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me hope (x 2)

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me hope (x 2)

Did you get what you want?
Do you know what it is? Do you care?
Is he better than me?
Was it your place or his? Who was there?
Did you think it was wrong?
Do you find that it's worse than it was?
Has it gone on too long?
Do you mind that it hurts me? Because
You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more (x 2)
You're breaking my heart

Was it cracking the code
Or just filling in time? Was that all?
So then why'd you go back
To the scene of the crime? Did he call?
Shall I take further blame
Or another assault on how it was
Then we'll get to the fact
That it's always my fault just because
You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more (x 2)
You're breaking my heart
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more (x 2)
You're breaking my heart

Don't know what you wa (x 2)

It is not easy
It is not easy

Looking from a window
At the back of a house
At the edge of a town
It's grey
Like the day
When I lost it
Clouds overhead
I talked to a flower
That was almost dead
My body a prison
Why did I do it?
Someone told me not to
But I still went through it

It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

Needed somewhere to clear my head
Find some strength
A warmer bed
Maximum love in a minimal world
I'd never achieved it
But then I believed it
So when I lost it - how?
I'm not sure now -
It was a strange feeling
Like a law repealing itself

It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

I can wake up in the morning
And not believe what I see
Look in the mirror
And think if that's really me
I don't think I suit my face
It's not a catastrophe
It's more a philosophy
Like the Russians wondering why
We're born under a blue sky
But die in a dark forest

Is is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

This is neither old nor new
It's always, forever
Somewhere between sense and ambition
Pleasure and decision
We have to make a choice
What do we want?
Everyone singing 'War, what is it good for?'
While planning the next one?
I don't need to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option

It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

It is not easy
The war within us
But it gets easier
The more we learn
I don't need to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option

It not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
I don't have to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option

What a performance tonight
Should I react or turn off the light?
Looks like you're picking a fight
In a blurring of wrong and right
But how your mood changes
You're a devil, now an angel
Suddenly subtle and solemn and silent as a monk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

It's better than nothing, I suppose
Some doors have opened, others closed
But I couldn't see you exposed
To the horrors behind some of those
Somebody said: listen
Don't you know what you're missing?
You should be kissing him
Instead of dissing him like a punk
But you only tell me you love me when you're drunk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

All of my friends keep asking me
Why, oh, why
Do you not say goodbye?
If you don't even try
You'll be sunk
'Cause you only tell me you love me when you're drunk

What's the meaning
When you speak with so much feeling?
Is it over when you're sober?
Am I junk?
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk (x 2)

Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Say what you like
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too

Sun in the kitchen
Boy, you're still sleeping
When you get hungry
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too

Night in the city
New Orleans pretty
Do what you want
And then can I do it to you?
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too

It's a reflex
Just a reflex
Like fear or sex

Brother it don't matter
Sister don't worry
Say what you like
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too

Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry

In the air (x 2)

The night was long
Now the crowd has gone
There's sunlight on my bed
Feels like a radiophonic workshop's
Beaming straight into my head
It could make you weep
I can't get to sleep
There's ringing in my ears
Like a radiophonic workshop
Orchestrating all my stupid fears

Radiophonic
I think I'm in love
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love

My skin is itching
I'm totally twitching
With the pounding in my head
Like a dud sub-sonic beat-box
Booming bass under the bed
My hands are shaking
My mind is aching
With a feeling deep inside
That you've been staring
Sending signals
Every time our paths collide

Radiophonic
I think I'm in love
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love

Think I'm in love

Radiophonic
I think I'm in love
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love

In the air (x 2)

The only one

I think of you
And wonder who
You are and what's your line
I wonder if
There's someone else
Or if it's true that I'm
The only one
In your life
I only worry
For your sake
I don't know much about
The deals you make
There's so much that
You hide from me
The mystery:
Am I the only one?
The only one?

(The only one (x 3))

I don't know you
You don't know me
I wonder what we share
It's just that now
And then you smile
And suddenly I know you care
And I'm the only one
For a while
Though you've many reasons
To tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be
For you and you for me
The only one

(The only one
Only one)

As enigmatic
As you can be
I'm not suspicious
Naturally
There's so much that
You hide from me
The mystery:
Am I the only one
In your life?

Though you've many reasons
To tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be
For you and you for me
The only one

See Boy Strange on the horizon of love
He's calling to you
What do you say?

See Boy Strange as an example of youth
So close to the truth
But still far away

And he's such a strange boy
Will he make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind?

When you realise that this boy is strange
It's too late to change
Your point of view

He's often there when the sun meets the sky
With a perfect alibity
Unlike you

And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind?

To talk of common sense is a complete waste of time
His looks are a crime
Bound to commit

In the eyes of the world he's a borderline fool
Both naive and cruel
Why would you inflict
Him on you ?

In denial, no
My life's a trial
I'm not denying
That every little bit hurts
It's a problem
That I'm not solving
Don't mind admitting
I feel like quitting this job
For a while, getting away
Before it gets any worse today

You're in denial
And that is final
You're not admitting
You should be quitting all these
Queens and fairies
And muscle Marys
The rough trade boyfriend
Who in his pathetic own way
Denies he's gay
Why can't you see?
This is a fantasy world

Think I'm going mad
How d'you know if you're going mad?

Look at me I'm lonely

Look at me I'm sad

I'm not denying
I could be trying
A little harder
To deal with some of this stuff

Know what I'm thinking?
Less drugs and drinking
No cigarettes and you'd feel
A little less rough

Is that enough?
My life is absurd, I'm living it upside down
Like a vampire, working at night, sleeping all day
A dad with a girl who knows he's gay

Can you love me anyway?

When you're a boy
Some days are tough
Lying on your bed
Playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a boot camp
You gotta escape
Wanna go and wander
In the ticker-tape
You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

The street is amazing
The hoochies unreal
Check out all the hardware
At the latest deal
Hear a song
That's the bomb!
If you don't get that mix
It's gone eighty-six
You feel the deal is real
You're in New York City

New York City Boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
New York City boy
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

Then when the evening falls
You can return its calls

You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

Whenever trouble comes around
Or lonely nights lead underground
And far in the dark
Abandoned cars suddenly start up
An anxious sound
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
That's all I need

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

When loneliness induces fear
Like waves against a ramshackle pier
When thunder and rain
Scar the windowpane once again
I want you near
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
That's all I need

I'm longing to see you
I want you, I need you

Like a child who feels afraid
Of the dark at night
Hoping to hear a gentle touch
Turning on a welcome light
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
That's all I need
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
That's all I need

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
