The ballad of Luchos de Las Planas

(Vidéo #1 // Vidéo #2)

I had a call from a man
He told me not to take the road today
He said « Jil, I have the greenest weed to share
And that’s why you’ll be there »

I couldn’t fall asleep in the folly night
I couldn’t fall a beast with folly eyes

I met him in my brother’s flat
He said « Man it’s been a while,
take a seat, have a drink and take off your hat
And take a look at my LA gangsta style »
Like Snoop Doggy Dog he took his time
to perfect the spliff and smash my mind

Then he said « Jil are you ok ? are you ready to pay ? You look under the weather
and your skin is off color »
I said « do you know who you are talking to ? »
I say « I can beat you all night through and all the day time too »
Like kids in a ?? we all lie
Down on the ground I (hate ?) this guy

Untitled french song

(Vidéo)

Ce soir comme quand j’étais jeune, j’suis allé à la plage
M’allonger un peu, m’étendre sous les nuages
Hurler comme un sourd, ne plus avoir mon âge
A la tombée du jour, je sautais les grillages
Oooooh

Une branche de roseau s’approcha à peine avais-je fermé les yeux
Me chuchotais « Petit, tu as l’air si nerveux »
« Que sais-tu de moi » lui répondis-je
A la tombée du jour, je tremble comme toi
Oooooh

I turned my back for one more cigarette
And step down to the past made of darkness and regrets

Jamais j’aurais cru qu’un soir j’srais foncedé comme ça
Jamais cru te revoir, si je suis seul à cette heure là
Je faisais demi-tour, fumer une cigarette
Et au lever du jour, tout me passait au-dessus de la tête
De la tête
De la tête
Oooooh

Crazy

A venir

My friends are nice

Le passage en italique n’existait qu’en version acoustique jusqu’en octobre 2010 où il fût introduit dans la version groupe.

My friends are nice, they say I am funny
But I am cold as ice, I’m not lucky anymore
And no one could understand how sad I am
Or maybe my band
When I’m singing, singing, when I’m singing since she left me

I am older, I’m not laughing for nothing my heart is colder
And I’m trembling when I think about the future, yeah

And my family is here
They said « Leave that girl and forget »
That’s exactly what I don’t wanna hear

I still have pictures of my dear in my jacket pocket
So I can touch her skin
Well I’m all alone
But then I think about it
I know wrong is done
I’m only crying, crying in front of my silent phone
Since she left me
I’m a stranger
Whatever I do is I’m thinking about her
Day after day it’s getting harder and harder

When everything’s black and an old Soundtrack
Is stuck in my head , I’m stuck in my bed

My friends call me and say
« Jil, don’t you wanna wake up now ? Get out of your bed, drink a coffee instead »
Yeah I’d really like to wake up now

I swear it’s hard
I swear it’s hard

My friends are nice , they said I am funny

Songs we loved

Here we are
Back on the road
So far, so fast, so far from home
My brother sings a song
That we loved
« Get me away from here I’m dying »
It’s a song we loved
When we were young

We’re not scared about it ……
…….

Carry my mysery without, without it
Let’s talk about the guitar we like
And the girls we loved
And the stupid things we’ve done
When we were young

Here we are
Back on the road
So far, so fast, so far from home
My brother sing songs
That we loved
« Get me away from here I’m dying »
It’s a song we loved
When we were young

Uptight

How many times did I say it depends on the weather
How many girls did I loose, how many others
To show myself in a new light in front of you
Coz’ I’m a kind a guy singing words in blue

Days after night, after words lies, tears in eyes
Truth after lie, days after nights
I’m still here but a little bit
Uptight
Uptight

To show myself a new light in front of you
I’m still singing my songs and I steel feel blue

You want to test (taste ?) me now here I come here I come
You want to test (taste ?) me now here I come here I come

How many times did I say it depends on the weather
How many years did I lost, how many others
To show myself in a new light in front of you
Coz .. and a little bit
Uptight
Uptight

A flight with you

Now that we’re not flying above the big town
I’m not scared anymore of the break down
I wish there was a crash or splash down
To say « Hello » to the fishes and push myself into the ground

And no, I’m not suicidal
But I’m so afraid of highs that I prefer to fall
Now I asked you not to laugh ‘cause for me it’s serious
I’m able to ask Jesus to pray for us

But you, you take my hand
And tell my body not to shake ‘cause in the end
Even if we die, we’ll meet each other again

And the captain is speaking on his bloody microphone
Explain to us how to keep cool
Although it’s a cyclone
And I say, « I have to talk to him right now »
But you asked me not to move
As you heard something like « Bam ! »

But you, you take my hand
And tell my body not to shake ‘cause in the end
Even if we die, we’ll love each other again

God bless you

History of the new old world
Began with the mother nation
Based across the ocean
Where goes the sleeping sun

During the war in the middle of …. (?)
Someone was about to help us
And take away our fears
With bombs and soldiers

And a flag red white and blue
God bless you America
The world is begging you

To give us money dreams and increase
The world of staysour saints (?)
Was is a chance or a mistake
A drug or a disease

It doesn’t matter just who you are
Just protect us from the U.S.S.R
We are less (?) than we can be
We are reality

And a flag red white and blue
God bless you America
The world is begging you

Your world … (?)
To set the nation free but the world is going lazy and your head is going crazy Now every eye is turned to you
Like « Hey what did you do »
This time you’ve gone too far
And God hates the fifty stars

And your flag red white and blue
God bless you America
The world is begging you

Out of the blue

My mind needs to take holidays
To forget the hour the day
The cold has took you (?) my father away
My mind needs to take holidays

Not to think about things that you,
Couldn’t do with me
You’re gone in such a hurry

Now my mind is a grave in the graveyard
Sleeping like a child, I’m the child that you left
This morning with the pretty young mother who had back on her own,
One child and two animals

Now they’re written words that they
Couldn’t say
To you
‘cause it cames out of the blue

When the old tree goes down
Up comes the other
When the sun goes down
The moon shines brighter
When you’ve gone I’ve been looking for something to do
Then the singer came out of the blue

And I’ve dreamed of / I do (?) crazy stars, and broken guitars
To say
My mind needs to take holiday

My mind needs to take holiday
To forget the harder today
The cold and took you, my father away
My mind needs to take holidays

Birds, trees and melodies

I’ll be the best
Not to failed the driving test
And I really try
If it’s to take you for a ride

And if it’s cold outside the window
Cold as the snow
I’ll be ready to go
If it’s to take you for a show

The birds, the trees, the sweet melodies
To make you think about me

You’re a gate for another place
You don’t look like what’s around
You take me out of here
Out of time and out of town

And the two strings guitar
That I left on the corner of my flat and that I have to repair
But I’m ready to pay
If it’s to show you how to play
The birds, the trees, the sweet melodies
To make you think about me
The birds, the trees, the sweet melodies
To make you think about me

Someday soon

The rays of sun, they are
Getting me cold and I,
I try
Not to fall, too far
Not to let my mind, go high

‘Cause I’m trembling
I’m not waiting
For her anymore
I lock my door

So I’m walking along a boarder side
Of a slippery ground I want to slide
Tonight

‘Cause I’m trembling
I’m not waiting
For her anymore
I lock my door

Someday soon
I may return
And my deflated balloons
Will fly like birds
Someday soon I’ll be back in your heart
Like a shooting star

Ukulele in empty bars

I was wasting time
And the passers by would stop and stare but I was crying ? trying ? so I didn’t care
I felt so down
So I broke my guitar
Now I play ukulele in empty bars

There is nothing that could be compared
To the moments we spent
And all the good times that we used to share
And now you left our home

I felt angry and upset
When I knew what you did and that you don’t even regret
And I’ve tried to forget and to start another life
In another place with another wife

There is nothing that could be compared
To the moments we spend
And all the good times that we used to share
And now you’re on the phone

What would be the worst
I wanna know
Do you think you’re cursed (?)
