about

Mon fils Eloha a fait un collage de parties musicales tirées de deux de mes chansons: Le couplet de "Avec Les Années" et le pré-refrain de "L'Amour a Mal Aux Nerfs", auxquelles il a ajouté son propre refrain et des paroles entièrement nouvelles et originales. À noter aussi que le titre "Go Figure" se traduit par l'expression française "Va savoir", qui, parfait hasard, est aussi le titre d'une de mes chansons!

lyrics

A 100, 1000, 1000 000 women out there
All beautiful, compatible
But it’s the sight of you that weakens my resolve
Go figure, whatever

I don’t really know
How it happened
Somehow here we are
In the right place
Your heart beats in the right space

Odds are seven to one
Seven billion to one
That two perfect lovers are to meet
Be the first to say it
It’s okay to state the obvious
Against all odds

You are the life of my love
You are the life of my love
My love, my love

Your beautiful sister always sat between us
Edible, yeah desirable
But it’s the love you do that makes my heart dissolve
Go figure, forever

Across the sea of indifference
That separates us
We are H2O so lonely
Let's be lonely together

Odds are seven to one
Seven billion to one
That two perfect lovers are to meet
Be the first to say it
It’s okay to state the obvious
Against all odds

You are the life of my love
You are the life of my love
It's okay to state the obvious
You are the life of my love
My love, my love, go figure, forever

A 100, 1000, 1000 000 people out there
We're all wonderful, we're all compatible
Yeah it’s the sight of all of you
That makes me want to live
Forever, go figure

Premier prix d'auteur-compositeur 1965 pour "Passe Le Temps", suivi d'une série de 45 tours sur étiquettes Québécoises Tournesol et Cycle 2000. Il aboutit enfin sur Barclay en '73 avec un "live" qui fit sa marque. Il écrit toujours en 2012... ... more
