Sick Bay
Raining cats and dogs
On my shipwrecked life
Hoping that the tide’s
Gunna pull me under
Sailing through the fog
On a capsized heart
Sailing like a pimp
On its favorite whore
Almost believed I could float
Almost thought she wouldn’t stop
Was chucked like old junk overboard
Almost believed I would drown
But hey!
They just free me from sickbay
Yeah today
I’m out of sickbay
So move away mate…
Move away!
Pouring cats and dogs
On my melting shore
Please can somebody
Hang the weatherman
Was seeking true ladies
On that tiny boat
Was getting well hungry
A loner in pea coat
Almost believed I could float
Almost thought she wouldn't stop
She chucked me like an old junk overboard
Almost believed I would drown
But hey!
They just free me from sickbay
Yeah today
I’m out of sickbay
So move away mate…
Yeah move away!

Bounce With Daisy
Daisy’s back in town
Just saw her hanging out
By the flower store
I saw her standing there
In front of that French door
It gave me chills and all
Singing…
I ain’t got time to waste
And I ain’t got no more thoughts
But to bounce with her
Since Daisy's back in town
Working that corner
She’s always on my mind
I can’t get rid of her
For I never forgot the
Beauty school dropout
Singing…
I ain’t got no more thoughts
And no more time to waste
Just wanna bounce with her
Everything’s on hold
And I’ll keep an eye on
Who says she’s a whore
Cuz Daisy’s the only
The only thing in town
That worth that I fall for

Waiting For My Soul
I am waiting for my soul
To rise up
I am waiting for new bones
To be my shelter
I want to feel the wind again
Upon my soft and fresh skin
I want to touch the grass again
With those fragile little hands of mine
I want to smile and cry again
Taste my own salted tears
I've been waiting for too long
Turn to dust under the ground
I am only a thought a whisper
No longer known in any lands
But I still remain somewhere
And far into the ground, I'm listening
(Sebastien Chevillard)

Scary Love Story
Here's the story of
Two tiny little ghosts
Living in a little, little
Yeah little haunted house
They were very, very
Oh they were so very much friends
Always dancing round and
Making gloomy sounds
Scary, scary, scary
Oh such a scary story
Don't you dare listen to
That music that we do
Nobody knew the place
Better than themselves
For they had always lived there
And never some place else
Haunting, haunting y'all
Yeah from dusk to dawn
Haunting all aroun’
And playing rock'n roll
Scary, scary, scary
Oh scary little story
Don't you dare listen to
The music that we do
Yet one very deep
Such a deep dark night
One just like tonight
An awful, creepy night
They’ve made such a gig
Music was so loud
Scared y’all up with a bit of love
Yeah scared y’all up with a little love
(Kosta/Smith)

Cherry Plum Angers, France
Cherry Plum's world is one of warm, richly coloured folk music with a hint of blues, which brings to mind stripped-bare
movie landscapes.
A world of two flavours, bittersweet, where beating hearts collide plaintively, sensually, lusciously. The dream of 2 men exploring the depths of their inner selves.
