Noah's Ark lyrics - Cocorosie

Thank You God for this fine day
Bless all the children of the world
And thank You for the plants
And the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Thank You God for this fine day
Bless all the children of the world
And thank You for the plants
And the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Thank You God for this fine day
Bless all the children of the world
And thank You for the plants
And the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Thank You for the plants
And the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

And help me be good tomorrow
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Milk lyrics - Cocorosie

I want to give you my milk
I want to give you my milk
Yes I want to give you my milk

Armageddon lyrics - Cocorosie


And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

Let's all gather at Time Square
And lets all say a prayer
To Walter Disney and Mike Tyson
At Madison Square Garden

And the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

And Jesus said they're a girl's best friend
And hell they'll last forever
And Jesus said now take her hand
And raise this harlot's bastard sun

And the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

And afterwards we'll all go to hell
When the money's all spent
When the money's all gone
There'll be a place for us in Heaven's gate
Waiting for us on lay away

And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

And oh what a pity the world's not white
And oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be all white

And oh what a pity the world's not white
And oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be all white

Brazilian Sun lyrics - Cocorosie

Cuando el sol cambia color
Cuando el sol cambia su color

Bisounours lyrics - Cocorosie

(Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille...)

Il fut un temps où rien n'était éteint
Où seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j'étais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence
Dans ce décor je me sens perdu, rien n'a plus de sens.

Mais j'ai encore quelques rêves et si tant est que j'aie le temps
J'irai caresser leurs lèvres... j'ai encore quelques rêves
Et si tant est que j'aie le temps j'irai caresser leurs lèvres.

Il fut un temps où rien n'était éteint
Où seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j'étais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence
Dans ce décor je me sens perdu, car rien n'a plus de sens.

Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille
Je me sens de taille
Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille
Je me sens de taille
Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille

(Je suis un enfant
Je refuse le temps)

Je regarde le ciel et cet arc-en-ciel qui m'apaise
Je regarde la lumière et puis j'erre dans mes rêves

Oublier le temps
Rester un enfant.

Honey Or Tar lyrics - Cocorosie


I undressed you with my eyes I have
Maybe even raped you
In a dark and eerie corner of my mind
I tucked you there
And touched you in a dream last night
Pushed you aside when you entered
My thoughts at the wrong time

I have sat up upon your lap and
Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
I rode you on a chair and in the shower
And all the while I clung heavy to your back
My desire deeply harnessed in your spine

While I squeezed you like a tree trunk
You may have been one
Sexless and comfort in your mind
Even barer than a child's
I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid
Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal
Yearning that stirs
Deeply pulsing up toward the surface
Like sap rising or honey or tar

Terrible Angels lyrics - Cocorosie

If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
You say you'll provide the birdbath
If I provide the skin
And bathing in the moonlight
I'm to tremble like a kitten

If blue eyed babes raised as Hitler's little brides and sons
They got angelic tendencies
Like some boys tend to act like queens
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you watch her sleep?
Love to hear her sing and wear purple eyes like rings
And the flowers have no scent
And the child's been miscarried

If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
You say you'll provide the birdbath
If I provide the skin
And bathing in the moonlight
I'm to tremble like a kitten

Oh, every angel's terrible
Said Freud and Rilke all the same
Rimbaud never paid them no mind
But Jimmy Morrison had his elevators
His elevators, he had his elevator angels

If every angel's terrible
Why do you hide inside her?
Like a child in a skirt
The supermarket's loud and bright
Boy, don't she feel warm tonight
Boy, don't she feel warm tonight
Boy, don't she feel warm tonight

If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Why do you welcome them?
You say you'll provide the birdbath
If I provide the skin

She sounded like an angel when she cried

By Your Side lyrics - Cocorosie

I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out

I just wanted to be your housewife
All I wanted was to be your housewife

I'll iron your clothes
I'll shine your shoes
I'll make your bed
And cook your food

I'll never cheat
I'll be the best girl you'd ever meet
And for a diamond ring
I'll do these kinds of things

I'll scrub your floor
Never be a bore
I'll tuck you in
I do not snore

I'd wear your black eyes
Bake you apple pies
I don't ask whys
And I'd try not to cries

I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out

And it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to be a housewife
Is to be a housewife

'Cause it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to die a housewife
Is to die a housewife

And it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to be a housewife
Is to be a housewife

'Cause it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to die a housewife
Is to die a housewife

Jesus Loves Me lyrics - Cocorosie

Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that's for sure
'Cause the Bible tell me so

Read your Bible good and well
Don't forget about that apple spell
Don't fall in the wishing well
Wishing for heaven and gettin' hell
Wash behind your ears, don't smell
Cover them freckles
Don't ask, don't tell

Kiss your papa, but not too long
Hold his hand
Don't do no wrong

Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that's for sure
'Cause the Bible tells me so

Hush, don't cry, dry them tears
Time'll wash away all them years
Scar or a bruise, pick and choose
When you're all grown up
You'll have the blues
Life'll give you that wedding ring
Fancy cars and diamond things
You best believe in Jesus' way
And never fall asleep forgetting to pray

Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that's for sure
'Cause the Bible tells me so

Good Friday lyrics - Cocorosie

I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue

I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue

I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue

It was a good friday
The streets were open and empty
No more passion play
On St. Nicholas avenue
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus

I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas

I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas

I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas

I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue

I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue

I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue

It was a good friday
It was a good friday
The streets were
Open and empty
No more passion play
On St. Nicholas avenue
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus

Not For Sale lyrics - Cocorosie

Oh, you can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
You can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
Oh, you can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
You can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore

Tahiti Rain Song lyrics - Cocorosie

Oh sailor
Oh sail me
Silver mast do impale me
Oh windless
Oh windy
Remind me
Rewind me
Oh laughter
Oh laughless
Just sing this
Just mean this
Infinity whispered to me
A mumble so dreamy
A soft sound so creamy
So dreamy
Dreamy
Infinity whispered to me
A mumble so dreamy
A soft sound so creamy
So dreamy
So dreamy
So dreamy

Butterscotch lyrics - Cocorosie

Black widow and white wood
The darkness of a forest eerily returns
To stagger drunk like mud
Taking swings at your woman
Run!

Why does butterscotch taste so good?
And we can't have any
But we must, we should
Why does sugar cane taste so good?
Even though sugar can only do ya harm
You remind me of baseball
Tow trucks and the movies
Look sweet as to deliver me milk
Almost frozen on those wintry mornings
Don't slip, Mr. Mailman
Watch out for my dog!

Why does kissin' you feel so good?
Even though it ain't allowed
I know it sure damn should
Why does holdin' hands feel so right?
Got a bruise on my pinky ring from holdin' too tight
Black diamonds swoon the corner
Make it sparkle
It's all for sale
Pushin' snow on the summer kids
Lewd remarks lowering
Lick the lips, mischievous
Lick the lips, mischievous

Skittles are the rainbow
And every color's popular
Though red gets the most invitations
To the junior high celebrations
And I'll go alone, I don't care
'Cause rainbow's not my favorite color
I'll go alone, I don't care
It's not my favorite color

Why does butterscotch taste so good?
And we can't have any
But we must, we should
And why does sugar cane taste so good?
Even though sugar can only do ya harm
I'll go alone, I don't care
It's not my favorite color
Black widow and white wood

West Side lyrics - Cocorosie

I'll wait for you until the streets become sand
And all the ceilings in New York have come down
I'll wait for you until the stars dominate the skies again

I'll wait for you until the streets become sand
And all the ceilings in New York have come down
I'll wait for you until the stars dominate the skies again

Madonna lyrics - Cocorosie

Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Oh, Miss Madonna, won't you please give me a kiss?
Give me one of those soft sweet lagrimas
'Cause I felt your pain
When your - your baby was slain
I tossed some roses to perfume his grave
Oh, Miss Madonna, won't you let me underneath your halo?
'Cause it's raining hard
Raining hard in this abyss

Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas

Oh, Miss Madonna, where you goin' after church?
In that preacher's car
You know I won't tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
I won't tell nobody, tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars

Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas

Haitian Love Songs lyrics - Cocorosie

[Interpretation of early black and white Haitian love songs]

Oceans wept
Moutains slept
Sidewalks crumbled to ash
Your name remains
In children's lullabies
And your eyes forever in the sky

Pull me close
Dear I'm tremblin'
Hold me tight
I'm afraid ot the night
Blackness fills the room
Your love, it burns bright

Oh, summer winds
Remind me of your kiss
Soft and warm
I never want to leave this

I never wanted to say goodbye
I'd throw myself to the sea
If God promised you're inside
We'd float to island paradise
And I'd become your bride

The countryside looks bare
Without you lying in her grass
The stream is dry
And the crickets silent
There's no music in the night
I'd become smoke
And hide in your cigarette pack

To be a star
Tossing light
To sparkle in your eyes
I'd become an angel
And kiss this earth goodbye

Destiny
Used to be
Just a word to me
But heaven sure was right
When they said Jesus left somethin' behind

Every inch of this body
I'd plate in gold for you
Even though I ain't go no money
I'd do it just to keep you

Your eyes appear
In every one of my dreams
They glitter and they gleam
Like the first time we meet

The chickens, they crowed
And I knowed you're home
Oh, my spirit ran to greet you
Before my feet left the porch

[Interpretation of early black and white Haitian love songs]

Lyla lyrics - Cocorosie

You wanted to buy me for a hundred euro
You said you'd take me to your little car
Your friend lived near by, he had a house and all
Where was I from, you said
You guessed Yugoslavia
Well, it's not Yugoslavia
It's not Yugoslavia at all

It reminded me of a movie I just saw
About a little girl from Yugoslavia
She got sent away, they made her prostitute
She ate McDonald's all day
And never had a chance to play
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla

You wanted to buy me for a hundred euro
You said you'd take me to your little car
Your friend lived near by
He had a house and all
Where was I from, you said
You guessed Yugoslavia
But it's not Yugoslavia
It's hardly Yugoslavia at all
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla

We Are On Fire lyrics - Cocorosie

A marvel light, a daze of gold
Tears of a grass widow
When I was young, I thought I’d be
more than just a fantasy

I wanna be this, I wanna be that
A big black dog with the soul of a cat
The blue-eyed devil, inside on me
He won’t leave, he’s buried deep

I used to have eyes, the colour of sky
Now I can see, in the middle of the night
I used to have eyes, the colour of sky
Now I can see, in the middle of the night

If I told you, would you believe
My soul is wicked, I’m a thief
They'd all burned me, 1690
'twas a deadly night shade, which finished me

Now I’m haunting and I’m looming 'round
The old church yard and the damn dog pound
I'm giving some hell and I’m feeling free
Never was more than a fantasy
But I fly at night and by your candlelight
My shadow passed your window

I used to have eyes, the colour of sky
Now I can see, in the middle of the night
I used to have eyes, the colour of sky
Now I can see, in the middle of the night

I used to have eyes, the colour of sky
Now I can see, in the middle of the night
I used to have eyes, the colour of sky
Now I can see, in the middle of the night
