Nouvelle Vague - Fade to Grey

One man on a lonely platform

One case sitting by his side

Two eyes staring cold and silent

Show fear as he turns to hide

Ah, we fade to grey
Ah, we fade to grey

Feel the rain like an English summer
(Un homme dans une gare isolée)
Hear the notes from a distant song
(Une valise a ses cotés)
Stepping out from a back shop poster
(Des yeux fixes et froids)
Wishing life wouldn't be so long
(Montre de la peur lorsqu'il)
(Se tourne pour se cacher)

Ah, we fade to grey
(Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais)
(Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine)
Ah, we fade to grey
(Sortant de derriere d'un poster)
(Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue)

Nouvelle Vague - Waves

Waves, and then goodbye

I live in a wafer thin dream

I, I can't cry

You know the time

Time's not kind

But I remember the way we were
The slow, slow sad love
I wonder do you miss my love
I know you can't
It's just a wave passing over me

What are these waves
They're coming over me
It must be my destiny

Waves
They're coming by
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye 2x

Nouvelle Vague - The Killing Moon

Under blue moon I saw you

So soon you’ll take me

Up in your arms

Too late to beg you or cancel it

Though I know it must be the killing time

Unwillingly mine

(Chorus)
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

(Chorus) 2x

Nouvelle Vague - Ça plane pour moi

Wam Bam

Mon chat, Splash

Gît sur mon lit

A bouffé sa langue

En buvant trop mon whisky

Quant à moi

Peu dormi, vidé, brimé

J'ai dû dormir dans la gouttière

Où j'ai eu un flash

Hou Hou Hou Hou
En quatre couleurs

Allez hop!
Un matin
Une louloute est venue chez-moi
Poupée de Cellophane
Cheveux chinois
Un sparadrap
Une gueule de bois
A bu ma bière
Dans un grand verre
En caoutchouc

Hou Hou Hou Hou
Comme un indien dans son igloo

Ça plane pour moi, moi
Ça plane pour moi, moi
Ça, ça plane pour moi, moi
Ça plane pour moi, moi
Ça, ça plane pour moi, moi

Allez hop! La nana
Quel panard!
Quelle vibration!
De s'envoyer sur le paillasson
Limée, ruinée, vidée, comblée
"You are the King of the divan"
Qu'elle me dit en passant

Hou Hou Hou Hou
I am the King of the divan

Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
Ça plane pour moi, moi
Hou Hou Hou Hou
Ça plane pour moi

Allez hop
T'occupe
T'inquiète
Touche pas ma planète
It's not today
Que le ciel me tombera sur la tête
Et que l'alcool me manquera
Hou Hou Hou Hou
Ça plane pour moi

Allez hop ! ma nana
S'est tirée
S'est barrée
Enfin c'est marre, a tout cassé
L'évier, le bar me laissant seul
Comme un grand connard

Hou Hou Hou Hou
Le pied dans le plat
Ça plane pour moi 4x

Nouvelle Vague - Road To Nowhere

(Part 1)

There's a city in my mind

Come along and take that ride

And it's all right

And it's very far away

But it's growing day by day

And it's all right

(Part 2)
Oh we're on a road to nowhere
Oh come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
Oh we'll take that ride

(Part 3)
I'm feeling okay this morning
And you know
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

(Part 2)
We're on a road to nowhere
Oh come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
Oh we'll take that ride

(Part 4)
Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Oh here is where time is on our side
Take you there, take you there

(Part 5)
There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And it's all right
And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's all right

(Part 6)
Would you like to come along
You can help me sing that song
And it's all right
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, it's all right

(Part 5)

Nouvelle Vague - Master and Servant

There's a new game

We like to play you see

A game with added reality

You treat me like a dog

Get me down on my knees

We call it master and servant

We call it master and servant

It's a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant

(Chorus)
It's a lot like life (it's a lot like life)
And that's what's appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling (it's a lot like life)
From disposable fun
This is the one

Domination's the name of the game
In bed or in life
They're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled
At the end of the day
Let's play master and servant
Come on, let's play master and servant

(Chorus)

Let's play master and servant 4x

Come on
Come on master and servant
Come on Master and servant
Come on

Nouvelle Vague - Blister In The Sun

When I'm out walking

I strut my stuff yeah

I'm so strung out

I'm high as a kite

I just might stop to check you out

(Chorus)
Let me go on
Like I blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands I know you're the one

Body and beats
I stain my sheets
I don't even know why
My girlfriend she's at the end
she is starting to cry

(Chorus)

Body and beats
I stain my sheets
I don't even know why
My girlfriend she's at the end
she is starting to cry

(Chorus)

Nouvelle Vague - In A Manner Of Speaking

In a Manner of speaking

I just want to say

That I could never forget the way

You told me everything

By saying nothing

In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words

(Chorus)
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed

So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing

(Chorus) 2x

da da da da da da da

Nouvelle Vague - Don't Go

Came in from the city

Walked into the door

I turned around when I heard the sound

Of footsteps on the floor

Love just like addiction
Now I'm hooked on you
I need some time to get it right
Your love gonna see me through

(Chorus)
Can't stop now don't you know
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go, don't go, don't go

Baby make your mind up
Give me what you got
Fix me with your lovin'
Shut the door and turn the lock

Hey go get the doctor
Doctor came to late
Another night I feel alright
My love for you can't wait

(Chorus) 2x
Came in from the city
Walked into the door
I turned around when I heard the sound
Of footsteps on the floor

Said he was a killer
Now I know it's true
I'm dead when you walk out the door
Hey babe I'm hooked on you, oh yeah

(Chorus)

Nouvelle Vague - Dance With Me

Let's dance little stranger

Show me secret sins

Love can be like bondage

Seduce me once again

Burning like an angel
Who has heaven in reprieve
Burning like the voodoo man
With devils on his sleeve

(Chorus)
Won't you dance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility

Like an apparition
You don't seem real at all
Like a premonition
Of curses on my soul

The way I want to love you
Well it could be against the law
I've seen you in a thousand minds
You've made the angels fall

(Chorus)

Come on little stranger
There's only one last dance
Soon the music's over
Let's give it one more chance

(Chorus)

Take a chance with me
In my world of fantasy
Won't you dance with me
Ritual fertility
