Warm Leatherette (D. Miller)
Warm Leatherette,
See the breaking glass,
Beneath the underpass.
Warm Leatherette,
Feel the crushing steel,
Feel the steering wheel.
Warm Leatherette melts,
On your burning flesh,
You can see your reflection,
On the luminescent dash.
Warm Leatherette,
A tear of petrol,
Is in your eye,
The hand brake,
Penetrates your thigh.
A tear of petrol,
Is in your eye,
Quick let's make love,
Before we die.
On Warm Leatherette,
Join the carcrash set.
Private Life (C. Hynde)
J'ai les glands with your theatrics,
Your acting's a drag,
It's ok on TV, but you can turn it off,
Your marriage is a tragedy,
But it's not my concern,
I'm very superficial I hate everything official,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2)
Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death,
You've made a deaperate appeal, now save your breath,
Attachment to obligation, through guilt and regret, shit thats so wet
And your sex life complications are not my facinations,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Oh!
You asked my advice I say use the door,
But your still clinging to somebody you deplore,
And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail,
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Oh!
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x8)
A Rolling Stone (D. Williams / G. Jones / F. Baskett)
I've been (?) my life just a rolling stone,
When I needed your love, baby, your'e always gone.
In my life I know that something is missing,
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving.
I need more loving baby, I need more (?kissing?),
Now I want (?) that you got.
They say a rolling stone never gathers no moss,
One day we will slow down and find that love is lost.
In my life I know that something is missing,
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving.
I need more loving baby, I need more (?kissing?),
Now I want (?) that you got,
Now I want (?) that you got.
(?).
Now I want (?) that you got.
In my life I know that something is missing,
Baby, grains of sand is really all you've been giving.
I need more loving baby, I need more (?kissing?),
Now I want (?) that you got,
Now I want (?) that you got.
Love Is The Drug (A. MacKay / B.Ferry)
T´ain´t no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
T´ain´t no big thing,
The toll of the bell,

Aggravated - spare for days,
Stroll downtown the red light place,
Jump up bubble up - what´s in store,
Love is the drug and I need to score,
Showing out, showing out, hit and run,
Boy meets girl and the beat goes on,
Stitched up tight, can´t shake free,
Love is the drug, got a hook on me,
Oh oh catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that I´m thinking of,
Yeah, can´t you see?
Love is the drug for me,
T´ain´t no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
T´ain´t no big thing,
The toll of the bell,
Late that night I park my car,
Stake my place in the singles bar,
Face to face, toe to toe,
Heart to heart as we hit the floor,
Lumber up, limbo down,
The locked embrace, the stumble round,
I say go, he say yes,
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest,
Yeah, catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that I´m thinking of,
Yeah, can´t you see?
Love is the drug for me,
T´ain´t no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
Ain´t no big thing,
The toll of the bell,

Aggravated - spare for days,
Stroll downtown the red light place,
Jump up bubble up - what´s in store,
Love is the drug and I need to score,
Showing out, showing out, hit and run,
Boy meets girl and the beat goes on,
Stitched up tight, can´t shake free,
Love is the drug, got a hook on me,
Oh oh catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that I´m thinking of,
Oh oh, can´t you see?
Love is the drug for me,
Yeah, catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that I´m thinking of,
Oh oh, can´t you see?
Love is the drug for me,
Oh oh catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that I´m thinking of,
Yeah, can´t you see?
Love is the drug for me, Oh,
T´ain´t no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
T´ain´t no big thing,
The toll of the bell,
Yeah, catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that I´m thinking of,
Oh yeah, can´t you see?
Love is the drug for me,
Gota get that buzz/drug,
Give it to me, baby, (?)
Got to have it.
The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game (W. Robinson)
Every day brings change,
And the world puts on a new face,
Certain things rearange,
And the world seems like a new place.
Secretly I've been trailing you,
Like a Fox that preys on a Rabbit,
I had to get you, and so I knew,
I had to learn all your ways and all your habbits.
You're the catch that I was after,
I looked up and I was in yout arms,
And I know I was captured.
What's this whole world coming to,
Things just ain't the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.
I had laid such a tender trap,
Hoping you might fall into it,
But love hit me with a sudden slap,
Just one of your kisses and baby I knew it.
My plan did'nt work out like I thought,
I had laid my trap for you,
But it seems, baby, I got caught.
What's this whole world coming to,
Things just ain't the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.
You're the catch that I was after,
I looked up and I was in yout arms,
And I know I was captured.
What's this whole world coming to,
Things just ain't the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.

You're the catch that I was after,

And I know I was captured.

Things just ain't the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.
Bullshit (B. Reynolds)
And if I wonder down the wrong road,
It's alright baby, just let me go,
If I get tired of all those assholes,
It's alright cause' I want them to know.
I'm sick tired of all this bullshit,
Same shit, (?)
And Jesus come on down and save us, save us, (?).
(?)
And feeling sorry, makes me fell mad,
Someday, baby I couldn't (?).
I'm sick tired of all this bullshit,
Same shit, (?)
And Jesus come on down and save us, save us, (?).
I'm sick tired of all this bullshit,
Same shit, (?)
And Jesus come on down and save us, save us, (?).
And if I wonder down the wrong road,
It's alright baby, just let me go,
If I get tired of all those assholes,
It's alright cause' I want them to know.
I'm sick tired of all this bullshit,
Same shit, (?)
And Jesus come on down and save us, save us, (?).
Breakdown (T. Petty)
It's all right if you love me,
It's all right if you don't,
I'm not afraid of you running away honey,
I get the feeling you won't.
There's no sense in pretending,
(?)
Something inside you, is feeling like I do,
We've said all there is the say.
Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me,
Breakdown, honey take me tonight,
Breakdown, I'm standin' hear can't you see,
Breakdown, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
It's all right if you love me,
It's all right if you don't,
I'm not afraid of you running away honey,
I get the feeling you won't,
It's OK if you must go,
I'll understand if you don't,
You say goodbye right now,
I'll still survive somehow,
Why should we let this drag on?
Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me,
Breakdown, honey take me tonight,
Breakdown, I'm standin' hear can't you see,
Breakdown, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, baby.
Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me,
Breakdown, honey take me tonight,
Breakdown, I'm standin' hear can't you see,
Breakdown, it's all right, it's all right,
Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me,
Breakdown, honey take me to the night,
Breakdown, I'm standin' hear can't you see,
Breakdown, it's all right, it's all right,
Breakdown. (To End)
Pars (J. Higelin)
Alors pars, et surtout ne te retourne pas!
Pars, mais qu'est-ce que tu as? Tire-toi!
Quoi qu'il arrive, je serai toujours avec toi,
Alors pars, et surtout ne te retourne pas!
Et l'enfant, il est avec moi,
Il est la, il est drole comme tes yeux,
Il est comme toi, impatient,
Il n'a de peur, Il aime la vie,
Et la mort ne lui fais pas peur, o pars!
Tais-toi! Mais qu'est-ce que tu as? Pars!
Je t'aime, toujours, il faut toujours,
Alors pars, tire-toi!
Ca va pars, qu'est-ce que tu dois faire? Alors pars,
Ca va bien, pas de probleme, pars,
Mais, reviens a moi, alors pars.
Pars [English Translation] (J. Higelin)
Leave, and above all don't come back,
Leave. What will you do without me?
Whatever happens, I will always be with you,
So leave, and above all don't come back.
Leave, and above all don't come back,
Leave. What will you do without me?
Whatever happens, I will always be with you,
So leave, and above all don't come back.
Leave (pars)
So leave, and above all don't come back,
Leave, but what do you have? Push off!
Whatever happens, I will always be with you, So leave, and above all don't come back.
Leave (pars)
And the child? He is with me,
He is there, he is amusing, like your eyes,
He is like you, impatient!
He has nothing to fear, he loves life and death does not scare him, oh leave!
Shut up! What do you have? Leave!
I love you, forever, it's necessary forever, so leave. Push off!
It's fine, leave? What will you do without me? So leave,
Fine. No problem, leave. But come back to me. So leave. I love you.
