Chinatown

One winter evening, in the Chinatown
We strolled before the shop windows
We found a store that smelled of the Far East
 
We walked the whole evening
Your boots were hurting your feet
The old Chinese were looking at us
While we smiled back
 
First snowfall on the Chinatown
Streets are slippery, there’s been an accident
Corner of St-Hubert and Jean-Talon
 
On the stairway to your apartment
You looked for your key with trembling hands
Next door, people were shouting
We went in right away
 
In your bedroom, we left the lights off
Through the window, we saw the snow falling
You asked how long winter was going to last
 
First snowfall on the Chinatown
Corner of the Boulevard and the 22nd
An abandoned car was found
 
One winter evening in the Chinatown
We strolled before the shop windows
The next day, the snow had disappeared, the next day, the snow
The next day, the snow had disappeared, the next day, the snow
the next day, the snow, the next day, the snow...
 

Every time

Every time she comes to visit
Every time she comes to hang around
You become down in the mouth, you stare at the bottom of your glass
We talk to you but you ain't listenin' to us no more
You look at her go from one table to the next
 
Every time she comes and she comes often
You grow ten years older lookin' at her
She makes eyes all 'round the room to find herself someone for tonight
Like she found you a year ago
And kept you around for two months or three
 
You had never lost face in your life before
But you've finally found someone to mess with you
But you've finally found someone tougher than you
Someone to drop you
 
She arrived not twenty minutes ago
And you're already askin' for the time, and you say it's late
You say you're workin' tomorrow, that you wake up at sunrise
And you talk 'bout how lame this place became
There ain't much that excites you anyway
 
You get out in the street, it's a quarter to eleven
You dunno where to go anymore, what to do with yourself
You know you're workin' tomorrow, that you wake up at sunrise
But you need 'til 3AM to fall asleep
To convince yourself everythin's better this way
 
You had never lost face in your life before
But you've finally found someone to mess with you
But you've finally found someone tougher than you
Someone to drop you
 
You had never lost face in your life before
But you've finally found someone to mess with you
But you've finally found someone tougher than you
But maybe she went too far
But maybe she went too far
 

Don't bring your friends

Don't bring your friends if you've come to see me
Leave 'em outside for once, for an evening
I don't wanna stay up late on the porch
With twelve of your friends
I want to be caressed
Come in the bedroom with me
 
I'm tired of hearing 'em speak 'bout sports, speak 'bout cars
Leave 'em outside for once, for an evening
My mom goes to sleep early
And she's tough to wake up
Don't tell me you're scared
Come in the bedroom with me
 
We're past the age where we hold hands all evening
Sometimes I wonder if you're scared of staying alone with me
Answer me
 
I'm tired of being kissed in the dark
When your buds wait for you on the sidewalk
I'm tired of trying to convince myself
That it'll be different tomorrow evening
Time for you to make a choice
You coming in the bedroom with me?

That it'll be different tomorrow evening
Time for you to make a choice

Don't bring your friends if you've come to see me
Don't bring your friends if you've come to see me
Don't bring your friends if you've come to see...
 

Simply jealous

I'm jealous of these flowery fabrics that deviously brush against her
When I'm not there
I'm jealous of lace, of flannel
Of all these sweet nothings she slides on her silky skin
I'm jealous of the perfume she wears
Of the odours that escort her everywhere she goes
But above all
 
Simply jealous...
 
I'm jealous of the sidewalks that carry her
Towards the naughty doors she crosses without me
I'm jealous of the looks that touch her
Of all these hands that squint while following her with their fingers
I'm jealous of the words that nudge her
Of the not so funny stories that she laughs at sometimes
But above all
 
Simply jealous...
 
I'm not abnormal
Not creepy
I wouldn't hurt a fly
Except if it touches her
 
I'm jealous of the songs she hums
Of the chills these sounds that aren't mine give her
I'm jealous of the tango she dances
Of this touch of carelessness that outpaces her bit by bit
I'm jealous of the colours she lights up
In the foggy mornings of the countries she visits
But above all
 
Simply jealous...
 
I'm not abnormal
Not creepy
I wouldn't hurt a fly
Except if it touches her
 
But above all
Simply jealous...
