DEBOUT AU BOUT DU BOUT-DU-BANC
(Félix Stüssi)
Debout au bout du Bout-du-Banc
Toute seule, en proie aux éléments
Les peurs et le temps sont suspendus
Dehors, dedans, c’est l’océan
Mon sang est bercé par le vent
Toute nue dans les vagues,
Vaguement soutenue
Ni bien, ni mal, ni noir ni blanc
La mort, la vie, les sacrements
Les doutes douloureux ont disparu
La mer qui touche le firmament
Avale tout en procréant
Seule au Bout-du-Banc
Je fais face au vent
Défiant le temps
Au Bout-du-Banc
J’suis plus zen qu’avant

WALKED THE SAME SANDS
(Sonia Johnson)
Walked the same sands
Faith in our hands
Shared the same dream
In our blood stream
Identical
Our differences
A pentacle
But no chances
We were walking the same sands
Under the same commandments
We were sharing the same dream
A way to get out of here
We were fighting the same fears
We were crying the same tears
Praying under the same sun
Oh! Tell me what have we done?
Darkness to light
Without a fight
Under a gun
End of a song

I CAN SEE YOUR RAINBOW
(Sonia Johnson)
Take my hand
Come to the other side
Where we can hide
You are born
Gift of music inside
It should arise
Feel the strength
Of this power divine
Just let it shine
Cause the roots
Of your power meet mine
So we can smile
At the bar, a café
He’s a strange, étranger
A man with a beautiful soul
Told me to sing my song
Whatever comes along
So I sang
With him being my guide
So full of pride
Now our friend
Is enlightening the sky
From the other end

SOLAIRE
(Sonia Johnson)
Insouciante et mystérieuse
Je danse au creux des étoiles
Dans la nébuleuse
J’ouvre grandes mes voiles
Sous le souffle
Du vent solaire
Intersidérale
Soudain, je me libère
En aurore boréale
Le ciel embrasé
Laisse présager le déluge
Nos coeurs allumés
Useront de subterfuges
Ce moment sacré
Comme le plus doux des refuges
Caresse de la voûte céleste

IDÉE FIX*
(Sonia Johnson)
Il parcourt les recoins de la planète
Tout en poursuivant, son idée Fix
Même si le monde va toujours à l’envers
Il n’y a vraiment rien à faire
C’est un solidaire
Rien ne pourra jamais le détourner
De ses intentions d’idéaliste
Un peu têtu comme l’hiver,
Les deux pieds ancrés sur la Terre
Il poursuit son chemin de ville en ville
Tout en pourchassant, son idée Fix
Même si les gens voient toujours de travers
Il n’y a vraiment rien à faire.
C’est un vieux corsaire
Rien ne pourra jamais le détourner
De ses intentions d’idéaliste
Un peu têtu comme l’hiver
Les deux pieds ancrés sur la Terre
Valeureux et sans-frontières, toujours joyeux
*Fix = surnom amical de Félix en Suisse.

MONKEY TALK
(Jackie Raven)
Chatter, chatter, monkey talk
Jumpin’ monkeys never walk
I can’t stop the thoughts running ‘round my head
Things I’ve heard, things I’ve read
Tree to tree, the monkey flies
Chasin’ phantoms, telling lies
A mind this busy just isn’t good
It never leaves it’s neighborhood
Chattering, jumpin’ like monkeys do
My mind is stuck in the “what?” and “who?”
Too busy swingin’ to even try
To make a leap to the “how?” or “why?”
Look at these monkeys: they got the nerve
They never sit still, don’t observe
That a mind this busy just isn’t good
It never leaves it’s neighborhood
Can’t stop these monkeys, they’re out of control
They don’t even listen when I scold
They’re jumpin’, they’re swingin’, they’re always fl yin’
The worst part is: I know they’re lyin’
Can’t see the forest, for the trees
I can’t get beyond the canopy
A mind this busy just isn’t good
I stay stuck with “should”, “would” and “could”

DON’T YOU EVER GIVE UP PLAYING BE-BOP!
(Félix Stüssi)
Hit’em with the rhythm and keep it up!
Show the world what you got!
Swingin’ for a livin’ can bring you fear
But don’t you ever give up
Playing Be-Bop!
Hit’em with the rhythm and turn them on!
Let them hear your own song!
Swingin’ for a livin’ is sometimes hard
But don’t you ever give up!
Play Be-Bop!
Bird and Bud were cooking with Charles Mingus
Having a ball together
Miles and Dizz were diggin’ Thelonious
Stirrin’ it up, playin’ Be-Bop
Hit’em with the rhythm and keep it up!
Show the world what you got!
Swingin’ for a livin’ is sometimes hard
Don’t worry: Be-Bop puts you back up
