Paroles

Our father who art in heaven
Stay there
And we will stay here on earth
Which is sometimes so pretty
- Pater Noster

An orange on the table
Your robe on the carpet
And you in my bed
Sweet present of the present
Coolness of the night
Warmth of my life.
- Alicante

It's terrible
the faint sound of a hard boiled egg firmly cracked on a tin counter
it's terrible this faint sound
when it stirs the memory of a starving man
- La Grasse Matinée - Sleeping In

I am what I am
I was made this way
When I want to laugh
Yes I shriek with laughter
I love those who love me
It's my fault
If they're not the same
That I love everytime
I am what I am
I was made this way
What more do you want
What do you want from me
- Je Suis Comme Je Suis - I Am What I Am
