RAINY DAY

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

Rainy day
Feeling blue
Skies are grey
Where are you?
I know I
Shouldn’t feel this way
But I do

Don’t know where
Don’t know when
But I swear
We’ll meet again
And we’ll laugh away
That rainy day
From way back then
Rainy day

WONDERFUL NIGHT

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

The snow is falling, it’s a beautiful sight
New York shimmers in the winter light
Everything seems just right
This is such a wonderful night

Lovers on the ice
Hold each other tight
Under the moon shining bright
You may call it nice
I call it magic
Here in New York
It’s a wonderful night

Can’t you see
It’s not reality
It’s a dream that someone else is dreaming
A perfect fantasy, that was never to be
Clearly heaven sent but not meant for me

My glass is half empty tonight
Promise please to make it right

The snow is falling, it’s a beautiful sight
New York shimmers in the winter light
Everything is still alright

I can touch it, I can feel it, I can reach it

This is such a wonderful night

Snow falls...
what a wonderful night!
New york dazzles it shi-nes
with a billion lights
Streets are white
Eyes are bright
It is such a wonderful night!

Sil-houettes skate on the rink,
While chil-dren are making snow men,
and lovers hold each other tight
Some-thing in the air,
a kind of magic,
enfolds New York,
What a won-der-ful night !

From my win-dow
it seems like a snow globe
all this little world glows
but I'm no part of it
i'll spend the night all a-lone
dream that my prince final-ly comes
that we kiss, and dance, and fly
to the moon

I'm cold and so lonely to-night
but at least I can try to en-joy the sight
Wonderful night,
New York shines bright
with a billion lights
it is such a wonderful night

Hop hop va le monde
Hop hop hop notre monde
Dans un champ des fruits murs
Sur une plage deux beaux seins
Et sur l’eau un mat’lot
Hop hop va le monde
Hop hop hop notre monde

Dans ma rue des bobos
Refont l’monde, dans l’ métro
Des clodos de not’ monde
Hop hop va le monde
Hop hop hop notre monde
Sous les ors du palais
Il fait bon, il fait frais,

On sourit à not’ monde
Une loi, bonne loi
Est votée donnant l’droit
D’interdire notre monde
Hop hop va le monde
Hop hop hop notre monde
C’est la joie et tant pisSi le monde s’rétrécit
Aux heureux de ce monde

Hop hop va le monde
Hop hop hop notre monde
Au dehors sur la mer,
Dans l’désert on est pris
On périt entre soi
Comme des chiens
Hop hop va le monde
Hop hop hop notre monde

In a field of ripe fruitsOn a beach two beautiful breasts
And on the water a sailor

Hop hop goes the world
Hop hop hop our world


In my street the young bourgeois
Are changing the world
In the metro the trumps of our world

Hop hop goes the world
Hop hop hop our world


In the splendour of the palace
It feels fine, it’s cool
We can smile at our world
A law a good law
Is voted giving us the right
To prohibit our world
What joy! and too badIf the world is getting narrower
For these lucky people

Hop hop goes the world
Hop hop hop our world

They are far away, they are nothing
Their black hands scratches the sky

Scratches the sand and are silent

Like dogs

Je me souviens
De cette chambre en ce matin
Du lit défait
Et du silence assourdissant
Votre présence
Comme une absence, les yeux fuyants
Où étiez-vous ?
Où étiez-vous ?


Vous aviez
Un air perdu et si lointain
Vos yeux bleus
A peine voilés qui souriaient
Votre visage
Fermé au monde, en ce matin
Où étiez-vous ?
Où étiez-vous ?


Votre départ
Inéluctable et sans retour
Me déchirait
J’étais perdu, inconsolable
Me questionnait
Qu’avais-je fait de votre amour
Où étiez-vous ?
Où étiez-vous ?Where were you

I remember
That bedroom one morning
The bed unmaid
And the deafening silence
Your presence
Like an absence, furtive eyes
Where were you

You had
A look so lost so distant
Your blue eyesAs if veiled but smiling
Your face closed to the world
This morning

Where were you

Your leaving
Ineluctable, no return
Tore me apart
I was lost unconsolable
Left me with the question
What had I done with our love
Where were you
Where were you

THE LYRICIST’S LAMENT

Music by Sebastijan Duh
Lyrics by John Greaves

I was asked to write a song
I said “Easy,” it’s “easy peasy”
Just find a word at the end of the line
Then you gotta make it rhyme
With love and stars above
It won’t take you very long

But I found out that I was wrong
Wasn’t thinking, had I been drinking?
Words don’t fall like rain from the sky
But a lot of little jewels
Like tiny molecules
Could grow up to be a song

Try to sing it using verbal dexterity
You can wing it schmoozing perfect sincerity
You could be climbing a stairway to heaven
Once you’re up it you’ll be stuck like a puppet on a string

So we’re coming to the end the conclusion
No illusion,
This little story’s hit the end of the road
And it’s just a bunch of sounds
To please the ear
So nice to hear
And you got another job
Done and dusted

You never look up to the sky above It’s surely here oh only your fault Said...That time goes by nowYou always like to say that is all grey Complaining never helped anyway Makin’...
Mmmh Big changes...
‘Cause if you lift your head a bit more
You will see how beautiful this world can be whenever you get sad and lonely Just open your eyes...Walking down the street!Walking down the street, by walking
Don’t loose time on things that would hurt you Looking forward’s better for you
Never...
Let that time go nowIt’s up to you to chase all the blues Nobody’s gonna do it for you
Let it..
Shine through

La tour Eiffel
Est partie ce matinEn traversant la seineEt le trocadero
Comme une sauterelleElle a en un éclairSauté sur la MadeleineFoncé vers Turbigo
Mais voilà c’est seulement un rêveJe me réveille et j’me dis : « non ! »Qu’est-ce qu’on deviendrait sans ta silhouette à l’horizon ?Paris sans toi ce s’rait con !
Ne t’en vas pasJolie tour Eiffel
Continue à gratter le cielDe ta silhouette en dentelles
Jamais sans toiMadam’ tour Eiffel
Tes lumières tes ascenseursEt ton air vainqueur
Drôle de géanteSur ses pointes de ferLa voilà à DenfertA Meudon à Chatou
Et dans une penteVoici qu’elle accélèreRenverse des caténairesEn hurlant « cassez vous »
Ohlà je m’étais rendormiC’est quoi ce cauchemar c’est pas vraiSans la tour Eiffel on s’demande bien où ils iraient
Les ricains les japonais

Ne t’en vas pasJolie tour Eiffel
Continue à gratter le cielDe ta silhouette en dentelles
Jamais sans toiMadam’ tour Eiffel
Tes lumières tes ascenseursEt ton air vainqueur
La voilà qui danseAvec des airs canaillesDans un bruit de ferrailleElle dit « j’pars à Moscou ! »
Dans toute la FranceÇà tourne à la pagailleY’a des trains qui déraillentL’président devient fou
Dans mon rêve elle finit en ChineS’installe tranquillement à PékinMais c’est impossible il faut garder ce grand machinQuand bien même il ne sert à rien

FARMER GIRL

Music by Julien Vega
Lyrics by John Greaves & Julien Vega

HERE ALL ALONE IN THE CORNFIELD AT NIGHT
THE SKY’S FULL OF STARS
AND THE MOON’S SHINING BRIGHT
IF ONLY I COULD FLY OFF LIKE A BIRD,
FLY AWAY, FLY AWAY, LIKE A BLUE BIRD.

Chorus

I’LL BE DANCER TWIRLING AROUND
AN ACTRESS, A SINGER, A BEAUTY QUEEN CROWNED
MY FACE WILL BE SEEN IN EVERY MAGAZINE
FROM PARIS TO L. A.
FROM NEW YORK TO BOMBAY
FARMER GIRL, FARMER GIRL, FLY AWAY ! (DREAM AWAY)

MY MA AND PA BOTH WORK HARD ON THE LAND,
I DO MY DAMNEDEST TO LEND THEM A HAND,
I COULD NOT STAND ALL THE STRUGGLE AND STRIFE
FARMER GIRL, FARMER’S WIFE…NOT ON YOUR LIFE.

Chorus

I JUST CAN’T LIVE LIKE A BIRD IN A CAGE
EACH DAY THAT GOES BY SEEMS MORE LIKE AN AGE
INTO THE NIGHT SKY AWAY I WILL FLY
FLY AWAY FLY AWAY LIKE A BLUEBIRD

I’LL BE DANCER TWIRLING AROUND
AN ACTRESS, A SINGER, A BEAUTY QUEEN CROWNED
MY FACE WILL BE SEEN IN EVERY MAGAZINE
FROM PARIS TO L. A.
FROM NEW YORK TO BOMBAY
ALL THIS I’LL ACHIEVE
CALL ME NAÏVE
BUT I BELIEVE
DREAMS CAN COME TRUE
