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 SHANGAÏ
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

Sonny boy cries for the moon then he rides on a flying spoon
Carried away by a gentle breeze, yes he is like the birds and the bees
He was born under a lucky star, 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's a dear, a sweet honey
He wouldn't hurt a fly
Sonny boy cries for the moon then he rides on a flying spoon
Carried away by a gentle breeze, yes he is like the birds and the bees

He's a dear, a sweet honey
He wouldn't hurt a fly
He dreams of multicoloured butterflies
As he closes his big blue eyes

He was born under a lucky star, 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's a dear, a sweet honey
He wouldn't hurt a fly

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

I know you're mine, little girl
For we vowed eternal love
Ooh, should we start a home?
You will never be alone

To cherish you my little girl
Is my will for evermore
Ooh, should we start a home?
You will never be alone

I swear to be there, little girl
If your friends would let you down
Ooh, should we start a home?
You will never be alone
