Runaway Dog 02:16
I’ve got a car that just won’t start I’ve got a girl that breaks my heart I’ve got a job that just won’t pay And now my dog has run away He’s a runaway dog (He says he loves me) He’s a runaway dog (But he’s got to be free) He’s a runaway dog (What else can he be?) He’s my run,run,run,run,runaway dog I chase that dog all over town But he’s a dog that won’t be found But he’s not gonna get me down Cos one day I’m gonna catch that hound He goes left and he goes right He’s a dog who’s outta sight He always barks in the middle of the night Cos barking is a real dog’s right But every night he always comes home Cos he doesn’t like to sleep alone But in the morning there’s something wrong Cos I’m alone and my dog has gone

J’m’éveille ce matin, il y a un chien dans mon lit (2X) J’lui ais dit « Salut, comment vas-tu? » et il m’a répondu : Refrain 1: « Mais que fous-tu là, vautré sur mon matelas ? (2X) J’y étais l’premier, veux-tu bien t’casser, fous l’camp de mon sommier ! » J’m’éveille ce matin, il y a un chat dans mon lit (2X) J’lui ais dit « Salut, comment vas-tu? » et il m’a répondu : J’m’éveille ce matin, il y a une femme dans mon lit (2X) J’lui ais dit « Salut, comment vas-tu? » et elle m’a répondu : « Où vas-tu bon sang, on dirait qu’tu fous l’camp ? (2X) C’était merveilleux, en route pour l’act’ deux» J’ai r'plongé dans son lit. « Où vas-tu bon sang, on dirait qu’tu fous l’camp ? (2X) T’as fait d’moi ta femme, tu n’peux plus t’en aller Reviens donc dans not’ lit » (2X)

Sunny Girl 05:01
I once met a girl; she looked so good to me Bright and beautiful she had a very big smile She had a great secret and she showed it to me A thing she was keeping just for her man to see This girl has a big tattoo all around her A tattoo of the sun and when she showed it to me The sun was shining all around She was so nice, She was so bright, Now I’m so sad, She was My sunny girl (3X) I loved to let my hands running through her hairs She told me a lot of words speaking about love The sun has stopped to shine that awful day she left But since I looked the sun a black light burns my eyes This girl has a big tattoo all around her A tattoo of the sun and when she showed it to me The sun was shining all around She was so nice, She was so bright, Now I’m so sad, She was My sunny girl (3X)

Not Me 02:39
Remember the first time that you saw me Time stopped a ticking for you and me We fell in love at the very first sight Dreaming that our life will be so bright Get married on a September morning Hopping life will be full of nice evenings We started our life without a fear Love was so reassuring when it appear Now there’s so many years That I love you my dear Life have been given us What she received from us Three children and a home Would you like to be alone? Not me! For good times and bad times You've stayed just right by my side Be sure I'll do just the same for you Darling can't you see how I love you! Of course, we’ve made a lot of mistakes Some fights had candled our birthday cakes But finally each one disappears Our love is the best to extinguish fires

I hate to see you lying there As I sit in the safety of my armchair Gonna put my arm around your shoulder Cos I know you won’t get much older Gonna drink a beer, pretend you're still here Then fill the empty glass with my tears But all I want you to know is You were my friend until the end In our little rock and roll band We were Stray Rats until the end Although nothing seems to make sense Guitars will fall silent to the ground When the Duke is no longer in town The beat will go quickly out of time As you finally close your eyes Gonna take my bass, play my favourite note Perhaps you would hear, I can always hope So I want you to know You were my friend until the end In our little rock and roll band We were Stray Rats until the end Although nothing seems to make sense And don't be disappointed when you leave Cos your songs will always be

Wonder Why 02:39
I wonder why I had to say goodbye I wonder why I had to make you cry I didn't want to leave, I tried hard to believe But now I'm just left wondering why I wonder why I didn't get to choose I wonder why all of us will lose Perhaps I'm needed, somewhere else Nothing left to do but sing the blues I wonder if I’ll see you again I wonder if it will be the same Don’t be too sad, it was so good what we had Remember I’ll always be with you This life is not what I had planned I thought we would always go hand in hand But when the evening shadows start to fall across my face Just one last embrace as I leave this old place I wonder when I'll play my last note I wonder when I'll hang up my coat Nothing else to do, we'll be one instead of two But don't worry I'll never give up hope (Whispering on the last chord: I love you) Je me demande pourquoi je dois te dire au revoir ? Je me demande pourquoi je dois te faire pleurer ? Je ne voudrais pas partir, j’ai essayé d’y croire Mais maintenant, je m’en vais en me demandant pourquoi Je me demande pourquoi on ne me laisse pas choisir ? Je me demande pourquoi nous devons tous perdre ? Peut-être suis-je attendu ailleurs Où il n’y a rien d’autre à faire que chanter du blues Je me demande si je te reverrai ? Je me demande si ça sera comme avant ? Ne sois pas trop triste, ce que nous avons vécu était si bon Rappelle-toi que je resterai toujours près de toi Cette vie n’est pas celle que j’avais rêvée Je croyais que nous marcherions toujours main dans la main Mais quand les ombres du soir commenceront à cacher mon visage Rien qu'un dernier baiser et je quitterai cette vieille terre Je me demande quand je jouerai ma dernière note Je me demande quand je mettrai ma veste au clou Rien d’autre à faire, nous serons un au lieu de deux Mais ne te tracasse pas, je ne perdrai jamais espoir …Je t’aime…
