A LITTLE TALK WITH THEE
words & music by Matthieu Boré © 2003

Lord I'm a sinner, I can pray
Sure I can do it night and day
A little talk with thee
Jesus, grant it to me

I love to shout, I love to sing
I love to praise my precious king
A little talk with thee
Jesus, grant it to me

Up in Glory Land, we'll live eternally
The Saints on ev'ry hand are shouting victory

Thou did tell me once before
To go in peace and sin no more
A little talk with thee
Jesus, grant it to me

BY MY SIDE
words & music by Matthieu Boré © 1996

I wanna sing for you my love
It feels like you are by my side
I call your name out to the never land
Can you hear my cry?

Kept company by my loneliness
I really need you by my side
My voice will go through all the barricades
Please hear my cry

You're a long way from me
Will my song surmount the seas?
When I see you in my dreams
There you are next to me

I promise you happiness
Always by my side
There won't be no more lonely nights
For you and I

DOWN IN OLD SHANGHAI
words by Suzie Blackstone & Matthieu Boré - music by Matthieu Boré © 1995

I met that girl on a saturday night at the Monkey Bar, down in Old Shangaï
I was on leave for a couple of days
Lonesome stranger in town, I got into the first bar that I found

She seemed like an angel lost in this joint
She had no wings but a chinese dress on with a terrifying dragon sewn on the back
When I looked into his eyes, he moved and started breathin' fire

There was smoke everywhere
Was I in Heaven or Hell?
The all scene was fading away

The clock is strikin' quarter to ten, I'm waking up in an opium den
I stand up and stagger out, still stoned
All of a sudden my heart skips a beat, my angel's walking down the street

I can't believe my eyes
I'm reaching paradise
I simply got hypnotized

I met that girl on a saturday night at the Monkey Bar, down in Old Shangaï
I was on leave for a couple of days
Lonesome stranger in town, I got into the first bar that I found

I DON'T DENY IT
words & music by Matthieu Boré © 2003

It's true that sometimes
I stay on my own
I don't deny it
But I look for some peace and quiet

It's true that sometimes
I turn in on myself
I don't deny it
But I need to find who I am

Time passes by and I realize
That things are not what they seem to be

It's true that sometimes
I give no reply
I don't deny it
But I have to think twice before

MY LITTLE CHILD
words & music by Matthieu Boré © 2007

Many years I said no
I was wrong, didn't know

Nights can be hell, you little demon
But when you wake up in the mornin'
You give me a lovely smile
My baby, my little child

Oh, I could find a resting place
But I prefer your sweet little face
Hold that cuddle for a while
My baby, my little child

You're mum is a queen
She has borne me a dear son, a king

Just as you came into the world
My life has changed, cute little bluebird
You're the apple of my eye
My baby, my little child

Don't mind the tigers, don't mind the lions
I am your dad, I'll kill the dragons
I will soothe you when you cry
My baby, my little child

SATISFY MY SOUL
words & music by Matthieu Boré © 1995

I walk along the highway
I feel such sorrow today
The tears run clear down to my chin
The four winds blow hard on my skin

Your eyes are empty and your promises too
Why don't you care how I feel about you
Just look at me once, you will satisfy my soul

You don't see me at all when I crave a smile
I have a fear deep inside, you could never be mine

I howl at the moon, my affection is strong
I will sing everyday that same old song
Just look at me once, you will satisfy my soul

SHE
words & music by Matthieu Boré © 1996

I was hunting in the clouds like I used to everyday
When she ran into me

I was happy with my catch, what a capture by the way
I had a smile on my face

She is now out of sight, gee but I don't know what to do
She has taken to her heels, slipped through the net

Very often I recall the day she ran into me
She had a smile on her face

My love had gone, my life was a mess
It did hurt me more than I could guess
I was burnin' inside when dying of cold
What happened to me, I've never been told

I've found a friend, a true warm embrace
A woman of heart, a smile on her face
Now I can count on her to lend me her hears
Each time I break down and fall into tears

I just wanna thank you girl for all the time you offer me
Hope your love will set me free

I was missing the past, things I had lost
I wanted them back whatever it cost
But I feel, when you talk, I gotta let go
And should better think about tomorrow

I just wanna thank you girl for all the time you offer me
Hope your love will set me free

Billy boy cries for the moon
Then he rides on a flying spoon
Swept along by a gentle breeze
Yes he is like the birds and the bees

He sleeps under the stars
All he needs fits in a jar
He really knows the songs of the trees
And the games of the birds and the bees

He is a dear, a sweet honey
He wouldn't dare hurt a baby fly
He is a dreamer, a daydreamer
He'd love to be bird or butterfly

Billy boy ain't got much to say
He just feels like runnin' away
Take a trip and travel the seas
Yes he is like the birds and the bees

Artificial lights, smoky atmosphere
I look around and find a bottle of beer
People are dancin' to the radio
I run into a funny guy named Moe, he says

No I don't care about tomorrow
Light as a bird, without any sorrow
No I don't care about tomorrow
Time passes by like the rivers flow, he says

May I intoduce you Miss Pearly White
She's a swinger, a real dynamite!
She has a quick dance on the floor
This is the kind of party I adore

No I don't care about tomorrow
Light as a bird, without any sorrow
No I don't care about tomorrow
Time passes by like the rivers flow
