Oh the time will come up When the winds will stop And the breeze will cease to be breathin'. Like the stillness in the wind 'Fore the hurricane begins, The hour when the ship comes in. Oh the seas will split And the ship will hit And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking. Then the tide will sound And the wind will pound And the morning will be breaking. Oh the fishes will laugh As they swim out of the path And the seagulls they'll be smiling. And the rocks on the sands Will proudly stand, The hour that the ship comes in. And the words that are used For to get the ship confused Will not be understood as they're spoken. For the chains of the sea Will have busted in the night And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean. A song will lift As the mainsail shifts And the boat drifts on to the shoreline. And the sun will respect Every face on the deck, The hour that the ship comes in. Then the sands will roll Out a carpet of gold For your weary toes to be a-touchin' And the ship's wise men Will remind you once again That the whole wide world is watchin'. Oh the foes will rise With the sleep still in their eyes And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'. But they'll pinch themselves and squeal And know that it's for real, The hour when the ship comes in. Then they'll raise their hands, Sayin' we'll meet all your demands, But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered. And like Pharaoh's tribe, They'll be drownded in the tide, And like Goliath, they'll be conquered.

Best Morning 03:22
Best Morning (Paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine) Meet me in the morning Before the summer dies Meet me before you go do your things That keep you so alive I hate small talk but I'll do my best To make it interesting And when I'm done I'll give my smile to you And you can go on do your things I know it will be The best morning I had in weeks I'm not gonna bring you diamonds I'm not gonna bring you gold I'm not gonna bring you anything That can compromise your soul I'm gonna wait by the river banks Like that one time in spring If you can't remember It's down by the river Where you can hear me sing Just show up and make The best morning I had in weeks Meet me at the stations Meet me at the school Meet me anywhere you want I promise I'll be cool I won't mention the envy And the worst-case scenario I'll bring some wine And something to eat And Rick Davies on stereo Then I know it will be The best morning I had in weeks Août 2012

Minimize My Love (Paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine) A Asus4 C F I've been countin' the days C Since you left F But now I think G C I'll start to count for real C F C I feel empty all the time G/B Am Can't you see? F The love you found G A Is still a part of me C#m I did understand F#m Everything you said Bm Well not clearly everything A But some of it I guess C#m But the fact is F#m That I didn't had those feelings Bm For a girl since at least D G A Five long years F So don't you G C G/B Am Minimize my love, baby please F G C C7 Don't you remember how it was? F G Don't you realize C G/B Am That it was such a tease? F G A To show me how it can really feel I've been wishin' for the rain Every step To make it Ok to be inside The sun in the sky is too often There I think It's not fair For those of us who are sick One month of your lovin' And then it's finally gone What made you Strangely change your mind? 'Cause now I pay the price For 40 days of love With a life-sentence Of scars and blue sorrow So don't you Minimize my love, baby please Don't you remember how it was? Don't you realize That it was such a tease? To show me how it can really feel Am The minutes passes E7 The more you flee Am E7 The more you're far from me Am The painter cries Dm The muse is free G A She'll inspire him eternally 'Cause now it's been Six months already And now this Kinda feel silly I'm still writing all those songs For this girl Who made it clear That she didn't loved me But I can't deny Those feelings that I had And that I still have They're really there to stay The only thing I can think of To make it more okay Is to write those songs It is the only way So don't you Minimize my love, baby please Don't you remember how it was? Don't you realize That it was such a tease? To show me how it can really feel F G Am Why are you afraid to feel? Septembre 2012

L'ambiance était pas mal intense Moi pis l'pied tendre enfermés dans la banque Un vol pas full ben planifié C'est l'fils du maire qui nous avait stoolés C'était supposé prendre juste 3 minutes Ça va finir pendu par la nuque Quand les hommes du shérif se sont pointés Mon partenaire n’a pas apprécié Ou bien vous sortez gentiment Ou bien vous sortez les pieds devant Tout avait ben commencé Sauf le pied tendre qui était ben trop stressé Le gérant de banque se tenait tranquille Pendant qu'on comptait les ''dollar bills'' Quand les fédéraux se sont pointés Mon acolyte a complètement disjoncté Ça surpris drette comme un orage En un éclair c'était devenu une prise d'otage Ou bien vous sortez gentiment Ou bien vous sortez les pieds devant Le curé a fait son apparition Pour nous faire retrouver la raison On l'a laissé venir nous parler Question de voir si on pouvait négocier Autour d'une bouteille de vin de messe C'tait de même que ça se réglait au Far West Au bout de deux heures et quart Pied tendre a envoyer le curé chez l'croque-mort Ou bien vous sortez gentiment Ou bien vous sortez les pieds devant Là moi j'étais en beau tabarnac Le pied tendre j'en avais vraiment ma claque Après 10 ans de collaboration J'en ai convenu qui était un peu moron Y'avait souvent l'habitude de se mettre 3-4 pépites d'or entre les deux fesses Faque finalement je l'ai tiré En prison le shérif m'a félicité Moi j'suis sorti gentiment Pied tendre est sorti les pieds devant Août 2013

Le goudron et les plumes Quel élégant costume L'horizon du désert À travers La caravane du shérif Me drop du précipice La prison est moins chiante Que la souffrance Pour le crime que j'ai commis Je dois en payer le prix Mais dois-je aussi subir la honte? Le temps arrange les chose Le spleen noircit ma prose Le destin règle enfin ses comptes J'ai subi un procès Sans même pouvoir me défendre Les gens du village me prennent Pour un cancre Le sable colle à ma peau C'est comme un coup de couteau dans l'dos Les coyotes rient de mon sort J'attends la mort L'avenir semble se répéter Je reçois ce qui pendait sous l'nez L'insouciance est restée trop longtemps Je marche droit devant mon vécu Couvert d'la tête jusqu'au cul Obsédé par tous vos jugements Le goudron et les plumes Il faudra bien que j'assume Je marche vers le soleil couchant Reluisant JUILLET 2013

Song for Willy (paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine) Once upon a time In Trenton, NJ Lived a country boy Who longed for a journey Almost every day He was talking about it But in the end he stayed And he did not do shit CHORUS: Here's a song for you Willy Only you can make it work Take this song with you Willy And give it birth When he woke in the morning His stuck in the ground By the late evenin' He was ready for showdown Travelling the globe And sleep in big hotels But he's turning 24 And his life's a living hell CHORUS C'mon Willy boy Your time is in a swirl Cultivate this soil And you will see the world C'mon dear Willy Your time is almost up Your dream's in a hurry Now you must never stop The callings of the gods Are meant to be answered The pounding of the drums Is part of your culture Take this song of mine And give it a new life Forget about those ruins They cut you like a knife CHORUS X2 FÉVRIER 2013

2 Way Street 03:41
2-Way Street (paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine) Dark clouds hung above me Thinkin' 'bout being denied Is this what happened when you die? Wandering through the city Couldn't even read the sign Can you tell I'm out of my mind? Carry me on through the lecture Needless to say I did not lie Shrouded by your scenery I walk the floor since you left me Tell me why? Blinded by the ecstasy I grew tired of misery Tell me why? Been around twice as many Happiness is never fine Is this a pattern of your time? I bet you all my gold teeth I won't have peace of mind Until I'm cured from being blind The Stage Coach driver was arrested He thought his winged-horses could fly We would have made the perfect team Guided by each others dream And get by The two of us in harmony Providing a sweet melody And get by Watching you drooling on me I wish this movie never ends It's a bad movie in french All I got's the memory but they're starting to fade away And now I'll always despise May Barman could you pour me a tall one? I'm not yet, ready to cry 'Cause my woman just left me I need some sort of remedy I could die The Albatros are oversea But the Sparrow here is still lonely I could die Now there's only one more options You go your way and I'll go mine But you can come back anytime 'Cause if someday you're running empty All you need to do is look behind The 2-way street isn't hard to find JANVIER 2013

Dreamin' Man 04:41
I'm a dreamin' man, yes, that's my problem I can't tell when I'm not being real. In the meadow dusk I park my Aerostar With a loaded gun and sweet dreams of you. I'll always be a dreamin' man I don't have to understand I know it's alright. I see your curves and I feel your vibrations You dressed in black and white, you lost in the mall I watch you disappear past Club Med Vacations Another sleepless night, a sun that won't fall. I'll always be a dreamin' man I don't have to understand I know it's alright. Now the night is gone, a new day is dawning And our homeless dreams go back to the street Another time or place, another civilization Would really make this life feel so complete. I'll always be a dreamin' man I don't have to understand I know it's alright. Dreamin' man He's got a problem Dreamin' man Dreamin' man He's got a problem Dreamin' man.

T'es belle, mais blasée Avec tes yeux en trou de cul de poule Comme une reine adulée Par une immense foule Étendue là comme une fleur séchée Tu t'fais aller l'égo Même si t'as l'air de t'emmerder Tu me laisses t'prendre en photo Ça sent pas juste la tendresse dans pièce Ça sent aussi le mépris On s'aime de même pis on se fout du reste Pis ensemble on s'ennuie Chu stoned, t'es en jogging Dehors y pleut des chats Y fait frette pis on écoute du Sting Pis le disque saute même pas Bon ben ça y est je t'ai démasqué Dans le fond t'es une star T'es dans mon appart évachée Tu viens de gagner un oscar Tu me dis que mes sujets t'intéressent Quand j'te parle de d'autres chose On s'aime de même pis on se fout du reste Pis ensemble on s'impose Dans un tourbillon d'émotion On s'est séparé À chaque extrémité du salon On continue de s'aimer Tu rayonnes, mais t'es chiante Chu après succomber À ta parlure de matante Pis tes airs distingués On s'obstine sur toute sorte d'affaires Comme mon obsession pour Neil Young Tu me dis qu'y chante comme ta grand-mère Pis moi j'te traite de conne On sent tout à coup un frette Pis tu me bas à Mario Bros. On s'aime de même pis on se fout du reste Pis ensemble on est poche NOVEMBRE 2013

Nobody feels any pain Tonight as I stand inside the rain Ev’rybody knows That Baby’s got new clothes But lately I see her ribbons and her bows Have fallen from her curls She takes just like a woman, yes, she does She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does And she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl Queen Mary, she’s my friend Yes, I believe I’ll go see her again Nobody has to guess That Baby can’t be blessed Till she sees finally that she’s like all the rest With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls She takes just like a woman, yes, she does She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does And she aches just like a woman But she breaks just like a little girl It was raining from the first And I was dying there of thirst So I came in here And your long-time curse hurts But what’s worse Is this pain in here I can’t stay in here Ain’t it clear that— I just can’t fit Yes, I believe it’s time for us to quit When we meet again Introduced as friends Please don’t let on that you knew me when I was hungry and it was your world Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do You make love just like a woman, yes, you do Then you ache just like a woman But you break just like a little girl Copyright © 1966 by Dwarf Music; renewed 1994 by Dwarf Music
