Partir et ne jamais revenir

Plonger dans l'avenir et vivre

Que reste-t-il de cet amour ?

Arrière goût de velour pour un jour

Espoir et désillusion

Plus grand chose d'autre à dire : passions

Partir avant de revenir

Oublier sans avoir appris et mourrir

Revanche du temps qui s'en ballance

Le vent nous berce et nous fait croire qu'on avance

Partir et toujours revenir

Emerger des souvenirs, revivre

Partir ...



English version, march 2009

LEAVING

To leave and never come back.To dive into the future, and live

What remains of love ?

The aftertaste of softeness, for a day

The hope and disillusion

Nothing much else to say, but passion

To leave before coming back

To forget without having learned and to die

The revenge of time that doesn't care

The wind sweeps us to believe that we are moving forward

Leaving and always coming back

To bring out the memories and overcome

To leave



English version, march 2009

I saw her there fade from afar Her hair grey charcoal
Takes a drag from her tar
I kissed her a smile But her blood red shot eyes
Said the son never shines on closed doors

It's been eight long years since I saw The woman who's labored
Since the day I was born
These wrinkles now face To that cold dark damp place
Where the son never shines on closed doors

She said the son never shines on closed doors
I open to find only hurricanes blow
Take me away back to the green fields of May
Because the son never shines on closed doors

Death comes like a thief in the night To steal while you sleep
The soul's flickering light
Well maybe it's then She said, I'll see you again
Because the son never shines on closed doors

She said the son never shines on closed doors
I open to find only hurricanes blow
Take me away back to the green fields of May
Because the son never shines on closed doors

And we all go the same way home
Yeah we all go the same way home

I have a thousand acres
I have a million dollars
I have a hundred reasons not to give them up

If you were in my shoes
Tell me, what would you do?
That's right, you'd do the very thing you hate in me

I'm just a tumbleweed
I have no soul, I have no feet
You take a picture as I pass
You think I'm in control?
I just revealed I have no soul
Looks like you have a lot to learn

The thing that sparks your rage
I'd call a fair exchange
Everyone knows can't have your cake and eat it too

Skim through my life page by page
Cross out a line or change a date
I control everything, don't make me scratch you out

I'm just a tumbleweed
I have no soul, I have no feet
You take a picture as I pass
You think I'm in control?
I just revealed I have no soul
Looks like you have a lot to learn

I'm just a tumbleweed
I have no soul, I have no feet
You take a picture as I pass
You think I'm in control?
I just revealed I have no soul
Looks like you have a lot to learn

And I Pay Her

Verse 1:
I give her child support and alimony
Since we got our divorce, I owe her money
And I pay her.

Verse 2:
They gave her everything, they didn’t spare me
She got the house and car and boat and Harley
And I pay her.

Chorus 1:
The judge said ‘Johnny – you are a louse’
‘Give all your money to your ex-spouse’.

Verse 3:
I lost my girlfriend too, couldn’t afford her
My ex has made me poor with that court order
And I pay her.

Chorus 2:
She’s doin’ fine spending my bucks
I’m livin’ in my pickup truck.

Verse 4:
My stash is gettin’ low, she takes my wages
She even claims the dough I win in Vegas
And I pay her.

“THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST” Words and music by Willie Chains (2008)


THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST
THEY’RE COMING IN FAST
I CAN’T SEEM TO CATCH MY BREATH

I LIE AWAKE DREAMING
CAN’T STOP BELIEVING
I’M COLD AND I’M SCARED TO DEATH

FRIEGHTENED BY STRANGERS
I LIVE AMONG DANGERS
THE FEAR, UNIMAGINABLY VAST

I’M PUT TO THE TEST
I CAN’T SEEM TO REST
ACCUSED BY THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST




ADRIFT ALL ALONE
CHILLED TO THE BONE
THE MEMORIES CONFIRM THE UNREAL

IN MY MIND I CAN FIND
CIRCUMSTANCES UNKIND
SITUATIONS REVEAL WHAT I FEEL

THERE’S NOBODY HOME
A DRONE ON THE PHONE
A VISION OF THE SHADOW I CAST

AT NIGHT I LIE SHAKEN
FOREBODING, FORESAKEN
ASLEEP WITH THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST




ATTACKED BY THE HISTORY
SHROWDED IN MYSTERY
IT SEEMS SO FAR, YET SO NEAR

AS TIME PASSES BY
TO LOOK THROUGH THE EYE
A FUTURE WHICH SEEMS SO UNCLEAR

A LABARYNTH OF CHANGES
LIFE REARRANGES
ESCAPED FROM THE DEMONS AT LAST

DESTROYING THE DREAD
THE HATRED IS SHED
ERASING THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST

ERASED ARE THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST

Well i've been told there's a pot of gold waiting for me at the end of the line...
By a mean old man looking me in the eye saying son you gotta get it while ya can...
he said this ain't no joke you gotta be prepared to step on a toe or two....
Cus where I stand now ,is a place called hell and there's a place reserved for you..

You see i'm mad, sad bad to the bone....
never given a damn always sat on my throne...
never cared a day about any one...
Put the key in bike ...rev and i'm gone.


You Know I burn the candle from both ends, always been a loner never followed trends...
stepped on everyone I ever knew I've been beaten black But i've never felt blue..
an old guitar black jeans leather vest thats what I will be buried in....
Ive lived my life on a metal wife and were out to live in sin..


You see i'm mad, sad bad to the bone....
never given a damn always sat on my throne...
never cared a day about any one...
Put the key in bike ...rev and i'm gone.

Now I find myself
In a place called hell
and tho i've never been
they seem to know me well

and That mean old man
Gives me a shout..

There is one road in
But no road out



You see i'm mad, sad bad to the bone....
never given a damn always sat on my throne...
never cared a day about any one...
Put the key in bike ...rev and i'm gone.

Rev and I.m gone----add lib

HELP!
HELP! I NEED SOMEBODY,
HELP! NOT JUST ANYBODY,
HELP! YOU KNOW I NEED SOMEONE, HELP.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, SO MUCH YOUNGER THAN TODAY,
I NEVER NEEDED ANYBODY'S HELP IN ANY WAY.
BUT NOW THESE DAYS ARE GONE, I'M NOT SO SELF ASSURED,
NOW I FIND I'VE CHANGED MY MIND I'VE OPENED UP THE DOORS.

HELP ME IF YOU CAN, I'M FEELING DOWN
AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING AROUND.
HELP ME GET MY FEET BACK ON THE GROUND,
WON'T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME.

AND NOW MY LIFE HAS CHANGED IN OH SO MANY WAYS,
MY INDEPENDENCE SEEMS TO VANISH IN THE HAZE.
BUT EV'RY NOW AND THEN I FEEL SO INSECURE,
I KNOW THAT I JUST NEED YOU LIKE I'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE.

HELP ME IF YOU CAN, I'M FEELING DOWN
AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING AROUND.
HELP ME GET MY FEET BACK ON THE GROUND,
WON'T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME.

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, SO MUCH YOUNGER THAN TODAY,

HELP ME IF YOU CAN, I'M FEELING DOWN

I don't want you to be high
I don't want you to be down
Don't want to tell you no lie
Just want you to be around
Please come right up to my ears
You will be able to hear what I say

Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

Please don't be part of my life
Please keep yourself to yourself
Please don't you bother my wife
That way you won't get no help
Don't try to ride on my horse
You're rather common and coarse anyway

Don't want you out in my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

Please don't you call me at home
Please don't come knocking at night
Please never ring on the phone
Your manners are never quite right
Please take the favors I grant
Curtsy and look nonchalant, just for me

Don't want you part of my world
Just you be my backstreet girl

"THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD" - Words and music written by Willie Chains (2009)


EVERY ROAD I WALK ALONG
MAKES ME WANT TO SING MY SONG
IN MY HEAD, A HAPPY MELODY
WITH ALL THE JOYS OF LIFE, AS YOU CAN SEE

MY LIFE WON’T BRING ME DOWN
I RACE FROM TOWN TO TOWN
RUNNING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD

ALL THE CHILDREN LOOK AT ME
WITH EYES OF CURIOSITY
DIFFERENT, BUT INSIDE WE’RE ALL THE SAME
LISTEN NOW, AS I CALL OUT YOUR NAME

THE LIGHT THAT GLOWS WITHIN
IS BURNING UNDERNEATH MY SKIN
RISING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD

OH, A DISTANT CALLING
OH, AND I AM FALLING
BACK INTO YOUR ARMS ONCE AGAIN
A FAR OFF MEMORY, A LONG LOST FRIEND

I SEE YOU THROUGH THE DOORWAY
IT ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY
AT TIMES YOU KNOW, I’M NEVER SAD AND BLUE
EVERY TIME YOU SEE ME SHINNING THROUGH

WHEN LIFE PICKS ME UP
I’M DRINKING FROM IT’S CUP
DANCING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD


OH, I HEAR YOU CALLING
OH, I SEE YOU FALLING
RIGHT BACK IN MY ARMS ONCE AGAIN
TOGETHER HAPPILY ‘TIL THE END


BRINGING HOME MY LITTLE BOY
A PRECIOUS GIFT, MY PRIDE AND JOY
LOOK INTO MY EYES, YOU’LL KNOW THE SCORE
ILLUMINATES MY HEART FOR EVERMORE

THE LOVE I FEEL INSIDE
FILLS ME EVERYTIME
COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD
