FEEL IT TOO
(music and lyrics by John M)
I wish I’d find a way to tell her how I feel
It never felt so strong it never felt so real
Alright I’m not a chef but I’ll cook her a meal
If I could tell her half of what is on my mind
If I could find a way to have those stars aligned
Alright I’m not a weatherman but I’ll make her shine
‘Cause when she smiles the world around me
Becomes so bright I feel like dancing in the street
I hope that I will find a way to
Ask her to dance with me so she can feel it too
I’ll do my best so she can feel it too
She’s so smart so smart so smart
When I’m with her my mind simply falls apart
I need to sharpen all my skills
Talk about painters or Brazil and I’ll be fine
She’s so fun so fun so fun
I feel so boring I’m just scared she’s gonna run
Yeah I should come up with something
Tell her I’m FBI or Sinatra’s secret son
‘Cause when she smiles the world around me
Becomes so bright I feel like dancing in the street
I hope that I will find a way to
Ask her to dance with me so she can feel it too
I’ll do my best so she can feel it too
...
Oh when she smiles the world around me
Becomes so bright I feel like dancing in the street
I hope that I will find a way to
Ask her to dance with me so she can feel it too
Oh when she smiles the world around me
Becomes so bright I feel like dancing in the street
I hope that I will find a way to
Ask her to dance with me so she can feel it too
I’ll do my best so she can feel it too

L’ENFANT STAR
(musique : John M / texte : Joseph Donato)
Quand elle est devant son miroir elle se regarde sans se voir
Ses yeux pétillent de mille feux son avenir sera radieux
Aussitôt le rideau se lève elle est prête à vivre son rêve
Plus rien ne compte elle se sent belle
ils sont tous là ils ne voient qu’elle
Papa maman sont toujours là ils pensent à tout gèrent ses galas
Ils ont rêvé d’une fille artiste adulée riche et jamais triste
Mais le rideau rouge va tomber plus vite qu’il ne s’était levé
Pour enterrer en écrasant de rouge sang
Les rêves de gloire
De l’enfant star
Elle fait la Une des journaux dont on s’arrache les numéros
Partout s’étale sa vie intime ne voyage plus qu’en limousine
De ville en ville elle se déplace sa vie est en état de grâce
Ses fans sont tous là à l’attendre et son cœur est toujours à prendre
Mais le rideau rouge va tomber plus vite qu’il ne s’était levé
Pour enterrer en écrasant de rouge sang
Les rêves de gloire
De l’enfant star
Elle est au sommet on ne voit qu’elle
Elle pense en secret être éternelle
Sur scène paillettes et projecteurs s’éteignent et peu à peu se meurt
L’étoile filante d’un seul moment comme se taisent les applaudissements
Et sur le vieux miroir piqué il n’y a que l’ombre du pâle reflet
Qui accompagne comme en suspens le rêve avorté d’une enfant
Mais le rideau rouge est tombé plus vite qu’il ne s’était levé
Pour enterrer en écrasant de rouge sang
Les rêves de gloire
De l’enfant star

FIND YOU
(music and lyrics by John M)
Time and again have I tried real hard to understand
Why can’t I let it go
I spend every day in a blur oh I can’t get over her
Tell me why is it so
I know that I’ll find you
I know that I’ll be with you
I know that I’ll find you I do oh
I know that I’ll find you
Everything I’m going through
Will only take me to you to you
We will never go back
We let our love slip through the cracks
And I’ll never forgive myself for that
I can’t give up on love
I’m on this mission from above
The kind of mission you can’t get rid of
I know that I’ll find you
I know that I’ll be with you
I know that I’ll find you I do oh
I know that I’ll find you
Everything I’m going through
Will only take me to you to you...

DANCING ON MY OWN
(music by Gérard Sorel / lyrics by John M)
I got my hair right, I think I’m finally ready to go
Oh baby tonight you know that I will put on a show
When the mood’s right there is nothing to stop me
In the moonlight I can feel it coming
There is no place on earth I’d rather be
There is no one else I’d rather see
I can tell you some things never change
I’ll be there for you, you’ll be there for me
Dancing on my own, I feel the world around me
The beauty of the storm, the wisdom of the tree
When the mood’s right there is nothing to stop me
In the moonlight I can feel it coming
There is no place on earth I’d rather be
There is no one else I’d rather see
I can tell you some things never change
I’ll be there for you, you’ll be there for me
There’s no place on earth I’d rather be
There is no one else I’d rather see
I can tell you some things never change
I’ll be there for you, you’ll be there for me
Dancing on my own, I feel the world around me
The beauty of the storm, the wisdom of the tree
There is no place on earth I’d rather be
There is no one else I’d rather see
I can tell you some things never change
I’ll be there for you, you’ll be there for me
There’s no place on earth I’d rather be
There is no one else I’d rather see
I can tell you some things never change
I’ll be there for you, you’ll be there for me
You’ll be there for me...

YOU ARE THE ONE
(music and lyrics by John M)
I've been waiting for a sign
I've been wasting so much time
Trying to figure out my path
Now I've come to understand
That's how things got out of hand
That I can't live in the past
This life this time is mine
You cannot hide don't let anyone decide
You are the one
We all have things to say we all have our parts to play
You are the one you are the one
Praise what brings us together
Tame what tears us apart,
We're only here for so long
Let's not stay in the dark
We can all change the way we feel
We're all connected love is real
You cannot hide don't let anyone decide
You are the one
We all have things to say we all have our parts to play
You are the one, you are the one
You gotta believe there's a way for us to change things
You gotta believe in me
You cannot hide don't let anyone decide
You are the one
We all have things to say we all have our parts to play
You are the one you are the one...

I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW
(music and lyrics by John M)
Alright, I admit it, I gotta a thing for you
Right now, I just hope that you can feel it too
‘Cause you're not like the others, there's something about your smile
I say let’s be lovers and see how that turns out
‘Cause girl I think you should know
with those big blue eyes no I can’t let you go
You're all that I want
Oh I can’t deny you got me real bad
So I'll put on a show
With the best I've got no I can’t let you go
I think you should know I'm burning inside
I know why bother for another man
But I hope you'll consider giving me a chance
‘Cause girl I think you should know
with those big blue eyes no I can’t let you go
You're all that I want
Oh I can’t deny you got me real bad
So I'll put on a show
With the best I've got no I can’t let you go
I think you should know I'm burning inside
Burning inside...

WAIT FOR THE SUN
(music and lyrics by John M)
We should wait for the sun, we should wait for the sun,
and I'm trying hard to keep track of the things I've done
We should wait for the sun, we should wait for the sun,
And I'm getting tired of living my life on the run
I guess I'm trying hard just to find my way to find my way
I'm trying hard tonight
I guess I'm trying hard just to find my way to find my way
I'm trying hard tonight
I did follow my dreams, did impress kings and queens
amazed by all the passion, all the work, a good distraction from their sad routines
And everything we do defines us forever
The path we choose as we’re getting older
It’s up to you, you know, it’s up to you
But I'm still trying hard just to find my way to find my way
I'm trying hard tonight
I guess I'm trying hard just to find my way to find my way
I'm trying hard tonight

NOTHING TO LOSE
(music and lyrics by John M)
It all starts at school with the cool kids
The ones you want to impress by all means
Then comes the special one you care about
You’re trying hard to step out of the crowd
Come on
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to lose
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to prove
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to lose
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to prove
You don’t care what they’re gonna say
If it’s you do it all the way
Don’t let fear change the way you think
You don’t need no doctors or no shrink
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to lose
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to prove
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to lose
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to prove
We all just want to be liked for what we are
The little kid the banker the movie star
But all we gotta do is just realize
That we have nothing to lose nothing to hide
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to lose
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to prove
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to lose
It’s ok It’s alright you got nothing to prove...

MAKE A CHANGE
(music and lyrics by John M)
You could try to hold on to the past
But you know it cannot last
She is gone you’re all right
I can promise you that
There is no time like the one you’re having now
You should try to make the best of what you’ve got
It is only up to you to make a change
With a love gun there is nothing out of range
You got fired this morning now you understand
You are bound to nothing all you need is friends
There is no time like the one you’re having now
You should try to make the best of what you’ve got
It is only up to you to make a change
With a love gun there is nothing out of range
Out of range
Peeking through the door
You got a glimpse of what’s to come
Wanna fight for more
you need to fight until you’re done
You’ve been trying hard
To change the world now look at you
Do you realize that it’s the world that’s changing you

TOMBÉ
Accoudé au comptoir et planqué dans le noir
Je l’ai vue par hasard qui passait sans me voir
Dans le fond du café la belle s’est posée
Et j’ai pu la shooter pour après l’encadrer
Dans une ultime étreinte que je n’ai jamais donnée
J’ai bu encore une pinte et elle s’est envolée
Emportant avec elle mon cœur et ses soupirs
Un adieu sans appel et je l’ai vue partir
J’ai le cœur chaviré
Tombé tombé tombé tombé
Dans ce coin du café où je l’ai rencontrée
Elle m’a laissé tomber
Tomber tomber tomber tomber
J’ai le cœur chaviré
Et depuis chaque soir je reviens au comptoir
Où je pourrais la voir peut-être par hasard
Noyé dans la fumée j’attends en vain la belle
Je veux la capturer mais aucune nouvelle
Et le temps a passé comme si c’était hier
Je ne peux l’oublier je ne sais plus que faire
Je rêve à cette étreinte que j’ n’ai jamais donnée
Je bois encore des pintes dans le même café
J’ai le cœur chaviré
Tombé tombé tombé tombé
Dans ce coin du café où je l’ai rencontrée
Elle m’a laissé tomber
Tomber tomber tomber tomber
J’ai le cœur chaviré
J’ suis comme un bateau ivre un héros dans un livre
Je n’ sais plus comment vivre et comment lui survivre
J’ai le cœur chaviré
Tombé tombé tombé tombé
Dans ce coin du café où je l’ai rencontrée
Elle m’a laissé tomber
Tomber tomber tomber tomber
J’ai le cœur chaviré...

COEUR D’ENFANT
(musique and texte par John M)
As-tu trouvé le temps pour lui tordre le cou
Et trouvé la fortune qu’enfin elle s’offre à nous
As-tu trouvé de quoi échapper à tes doutes
As-tu trouvé la voie as tu trouvé la route
As-tu trouvé le train pour t'échapper d‘ici
Echapper au destin précipiter l’oubli
As-tu su apaiser ta condition humaine
As-tu trouvé la foi as-tu brisé tes chaînes
Oh que sont devenus tous tes rêves d'antan
Dis-moi que tu as su garder ton coeur d’enfant
Oh que sont devenus tous tes rêves d'antan
Dis-moi que tu as su garder ton coeur d’enfant
Où as-tu mon ami trouvé tant de courage
Pour affronter l’ennui pour étouffer ta rage
Et comment as-tu fait pour croire en l'être humain
Et ne pas avoir peur pour l’enfant de demain
Quelle réflexion habile quelle prouesse géniale
Ont replacé ta vie sur ce beau piédestal
Et comment un sourire aussi gratuit soit-il
Transformerait la brute en animal docile
Oh que sont devenus tous tes rêves d'antan
Dis-moi que tu as su garder ton coeur d’enfant
Oh que sont devenus tous tes rêves d'antan
Dis-moi que tu as su garder ton coeur d’enfant
Te souviens-tu encore de nos premiers émois
Du prénom de ces filles qu’on criait sur les toits
Cette énergie brûlée aux amours impossibles
Et qui laisse dans nos coeurs cette beauté terrible
Ne crois-tu pas qu’un jour nos vieux corps fatigués
Dans un sursaut béni ne sauraient retrouver
Le courage disparu de notre adolescence
Et la valeur des choses qu’apporte l'insouciance
Oh que sont devenus tous tes rêves d'antan
Dis-moi que tu as su garder ton coeur d’enfant
Oh que sont devenus tous tes rêves d'antan
Dis-moi que tu as su garder ton coeur d’enfant...
