Daddy, you can’t (S. Fabre)
Daddy 's tired. He works for the midnight shift
He climbs the stairs and gently closes the door.
Mummy said, "Hey have you seen my pills"
I Have a dream... Another night of heat
I can stand your mood, But what you want me to be, Daddy You can't
You talk so loud, you never pay attention
The words you said, the glasses that you drank
That's the way you teached me how to live
That's the reason I dry my sister tears
I can stand the pain, But what you want me to do, Daddy I can't
One of these day, at the end of day, I'll pack my bags so :
One of these day, at the end of times, You'll miss my face so :
Try to change try to understand
Life goes on, life runs like a wheel
I heard you knocking every night on my door
But how do you feel? …now I ran away
I can stand the pain, But what you want me to go, Daddy I can't
Oh, Daddy , I’m sleeping in the street now
You won’t see me no more
Cause I ain’t your good boy
I get a new job uptown (uptown)
I’m working for the right boss
The kind of job you don’t like
Cause I’m doing it dirty.
Yes, I’m doing it dirty.

Alligator Blood (S. Fabre)
I have two white dogs, I own a big black car and a crown
There is a smell of fire when I push the door of your room
You’d better…
Won’t you seem me smile, I have diamond teeth in my mouth
And, every times I talk, you can hear the sound of the truth
You’d better…
Shake…Shake
I’m like a spanish bull. I never turn my back on the fight
You ‘d better watch your steps, you’d better hear me now, (little girl)
Cause everybody knows I get alligator blood
I wear a golden ring and a silver blade, in my hand
Some people say in town, I’m the saddest clown in the land
You’d better…
Shake…Shake
I’m a vampire bat. I like to cross the fog in the night
You ‘d better watch your steps, you’d better hear me now, (little girl)
Cause everybody knows I get alligator blood

Love is a game (S. Fabre)
I drove all night from New York City
Back down south to Carolina
I left my car on the roadside
But I keep on walking through the sun
And I know, Yes I know… Love is a game that you win.
I settle down in Johnson City
In the green land of Tennessee
I knocked on doors to find a job
But I guess I missed some trains
And I know, Yes I know… Love is a game that you win
I finally found me a babe
Sometimes she's like a tornado
But she is my lovely satellite
til the stars fall from the sky

Plantation woman (S. Fabre)
Your shadow is floating on the ground
The sun is burning down your flesh
The master has become your man
It’s like a gloomy obsession
Oh, You’re so tired, You feel like a plantation woman
You can breathe, but are you still alive?
These hard day's work will never end
A sight of joy for some rich men
Look at your body, look at the signs
Your little world is going to ruins
Oh, You’re so tired, You feel like a plantation woman
You can breathe, but are you still alive?
Mother, you never warned me
Father, why did’nt you tell me the truth
Oh, You’re so tired, You feel like a plantation woman
You can breathe, but are you still alive?

Shiny Lisa (S. Fabre)
Shiny Lisa was a friend of mine
She was just a candle in the wind
if you think you know her
You’d better change your mind
Shiny Lisa was so smart and bright
More than all the men I ever met
if you think you know her
You’d better change your mind
Everyday I swear
Nobody deserves you
You lead your life on a shadow line
One day you’ll be mine
Shina Lisa did not talk so much
She didn’t like to look in the glass
Crazy, lazy babe, Come to me
I’m the one you wait to heal your wounds
