Un de mes groupes préférés des années 80, le chanteur a une voix formidable qui me donne des frissons. J’ai longtemps cru que Cock Robin était un chanteur solo, mais c’est un groupe, dont le nom signifie(rait) Rouge Gorge ! Et dont les chanteurs sont Peter Kingsberry et sa partenaire féminine Anna LaCazio. Leurs tubes inoubliables sont de mes préférés de cette époque chérie.
When your heart is weak (1985)
LyricsWhat’s the matter with the way we look?
Surely it’s not the end
I only meant to make my motions clear
You worry too much if it’s understood
Should we be seen as friends?
Seems like a real good beginning right here
’cause when your heart is weak
I’m gonna pick the lock on it
My fingertips won’t fail me
No matter what you do
The love you cannot see yet
Is about to witness a dawning
And you can twist and turn
But you won’t get loose
Better forget getting rid of me
I don’t see how you can
You put me off and i will hunt you
Down… again
I’m mighty patient when i have to be
You have given me that
Still i look forward to the day you let me in
’cause when your heart is weak
I’m gonna pick the lock on it
My fingertips won’t fail me
No matter what you do
The love you cannot see yet
Is about to witness a dawning
And you can twist and turn
But you won’t get loose
I’m gonna prove myself worthy
No more just hanging on
Without a prayer of a chance
I’m gonna come without warning
When your defenses are down and you’re in
A desperate need
Oh, i bet you you then, you’ll welcome me…
Your ol’ companion
Your ol’ companion
Remember baby,
’cause when your heart is weak
I’m gonna pick the the lock on it
And you can twist and turn
But you won’t get, you won’t get
No you won’t get loose
Oh no[Masquer]
Just around the corner (1987)
LyricsThings aren’t quite as they seem
Inside my domain
You can’t know about everythings
Only pleasure and pain
You wonder why i come here
With head to my hands
Where else can i be cured
And the king of your mansion
A thorn in your side
A child to protect
That calims he’s free
Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven
Atrong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
Darling come quickly
Come ease for my worried mind
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
I’ve already made my bed
Like it or not
As long as there’s no regrest
I’ll be these corsses to bear
Whit wich we live
Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
Baby i can’t drog you into this mess
I’m the thorn in your side
Amd the child to protect
Justo around the corner
Half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
Darling come quickly
Come ease for my worried mind
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time.[Masquer]
The promise you made (live TV 1986)
LyricsIf I laid down my love to come to your defense
Would you worry for me with a pain in your chest?
Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To pick me back up and to push me along?
Tell me:
You’ll be there in my hour of need
You won’t turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made:
If I gave you my soul for a piece of your mind
Would you carry me with you to the far edge of time?
Could you understand if you found me untrue
Would we become one, or divided in two
Please tell me:
You’ll be there in my hour of need
You won’t turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made
Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To pick me back up and to push me along
Please tell me
You’ll be there in my hour of need
You won’t turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made (…)[Masquer]
The biggest fool of all (1987)
LyricsMy excuse is only human
Like any animal that breathes
Just to find a scent that’s soothing
I give you power over meI’m more weak than strong
And not a stranger to a fall
But I won’t leave you
Till I turn to find you gone
I’m the biggest fool of allThere’s no path of least resistance
It’s a fable that you’ve heard
Any love that lacks conviction
Is gonna grovel in the dirt
God this road is long
And surrounded by a wall
But I won’t leave you
‘Til I turn to find you gone
I’m the biggest fool of allFoolish as the prisoner
That listens for the jangling keys
And smart enough to know
That it’s crazy I should run
When you’ve got no claim on meSo before your panic taunts you
To make relations disappear
You could help to ease my conscience
If just for once by standing here
I’m more weak than strong
And surrounded by a wall
But I won’t leave you
‘Til I turn to find you gone
I’m the biggest fool of all[Masquer]
Thought you were on my side (1986)
LyricsNot without reason have i been wrong
Just a few tough demands
On a personal friend i could lean on
Desperate and selfish, i know that i was
We drank all our fill
But i’d swear there was poison in my cup
Of your good intentions what has become
I thought you were on my side
Must you add the weight
You said it would be even
When splitting up the stakes
I thought you were on my side
Were we not the rage
Down the center line
What’s yours is yours and mine
Just like always
Hurting for freedom, hell-bent for lust
It’s an unlikely thing that i’d be bumping in
To someone i could trust
I’m far from resigning
Though i’m faint from exhaust
Just because i’m on edge
Do i have to let somebody come push me off
Is it the belonging, or something you’ve lost
I thought you were on my side
Must you add the weight
You said it would be even
When splitting up the stakes
I thought you were on my side
Were we not the rage
Down the center line
What’s yours is yours and mine
Just like always[Masquer]
Worlds appart (live french TV 1989)
LyricsNo such thing, I’m sure you’ve mistaken me
If I’m your man, then give a last embrace
Wish me well or help me solve this mystery
I’ve taken my fill and packed it all into one suitcase
Any other life
Any other way
Don’t you worry about me
Or try to change how things are
You’ve got to believe
That we’re just worlds apart
Can’t talk now, and silence is too much to bear
No great loss, but everything to gain
Here’s your home, I can lay down anywhere
As time goes on, it seems like a fair exchange
Any other life
Any other way
Don’t you worry about me
Or try to change how things are
You’ve got to believe
That we’re just worlds apart
Don’t you worry about me
It’s all gone much too far
You’ve got to believe
That we’re just worlds apart.[Masquer]
Only the very best (1998 – adaptation par Peter Kingsberry de la chanson « SOS d’un terrien en détresse » de Michel Berger et Luc Plamondon et interprétée par Daniel Balavoine pour Starmania)
LyricsNo one can have more than their due
I wanted life, I wanted you
Only the very best
A reasonable requestThis is too high a price to pay
Now they’ve taken you away
Might as well take meDown, down to hell for I don’t care
They can put me anywhere
Throw away the keyI always walked a definite line
Cutting a dash, cutting it fine
And once, only once did I lose control
I gave her my soul
And I gave, and I gave, and I gave her my soulI was immortal till today
Now I feel a cold decay
Crawling over me, over meNo one can have more than their due
I wanted life, I wanted you
Only the very best
No other interestThis is the way you should remain
Never feeling any pain
Never growing oldSleep little one, your night is here
Mine is growing very near
Oh, it’s getting cold[Masquer]
