Crush! 03:25
CRUSH! (lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger) D’you remember what I said? 
Is it still ringing in your head? Just tell me when it stops 
When you feel the pressure drop But don’t think I’m waiting Cos I’m onto something better! (Oh girl!) I take all the blame (C’mon girl) I’d do it again D’you remember what I said? 
As you lie awake in bed 
You run around the block 
With all the tricks you had in stock I hear my phone is buzzin’ And I know it’s you calling 
(C’mon girl) I can’t bury the hatchet Oh I know you’re not supposed to feel ok But you’re not helping me in any way
 Oh I know this has to be an all time low But guess what it’s your own scenario I was a fool to let it go 
I should have said no a long time ago I remember what you said
 It’s still ringing in my head 
I thought it’d never stop 
I’d be forever the bad cop,
 So please don’t keep it coming I just wanna get going (C’mon girl) I can’t bury the hatchet Oh I know you’re not supposed to feel ok But you’re not helping me in any way 
Oh I know this has to be an all time low But guess what it’s your own scenario I was a fool to let it go 
I should have said no a long time ago I was a fool to let it go 
I should have said no a long time ago It’s been a long time since you crushed my soul And I’ve been working my way out of that hole It’s been a long time since you crushed my soul And I’ve been working my way out of that hole Oh I know you’re not supposed to feel ok But you’re not helping yourself in any way Oh I know this has to be an all time low But guess what it’s your own scenario I was a fool to let it go
 I should have said no a long time ago I was a fool to let it go 
I should have said no a long time ago

LOVE BY NUMBERS (Lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger) Number 3, she was just like me, 
But I’ll never know why she left so suddenly Number 4 was a total bore 
She spent so many nights knocking at my door If it’s love by numbers 
I really feel less than zero 
It’s a one plus one kind of rumba It always ends below zero I’m way too old to give it a go I remember number 9 
I think she was dating a good friend of mine Number 7 was a match made in heaven 
She wanted too much and I couldn’t get even If it’s love by numbers 
I really feel less than zero 
It’s a one plus one kind of rumba It always ends below zero It’s way too cold for me to go 
I’m way too old to give it a go 
It’s far too late for me I know oh oh If it’s love by numbers 
I really feel less than zero 
It’s way too cold for me to go I’m way too old to give it a go From day one oh I always knew
 You’d be on top of my list oh my number 2 Where are you?

COLDEST SUMMER (lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger) Take a look at my life
 There’s so much that I wanted to live I may be twisting the knife 
But I feel something’s gotta give It must have been the coldest summer 
It looked to me like the loneliest winter 
But I don’t care cos now I’ve found you 
I will be there as long as you will want me to (As long as you will want me to) I’m like a broken cast 
I can’t think of something else to do
 I wanna get it fast 
I’m gonna start something new with you It must have been the coldest summer 
It looked to me like the loneliest winter
 But I don’t care cos now I’ve found you 
I will be there as long as you will want me to (As long as you will want me to) It must have been the coldest summer
 It looked to me like the loneliest winter 
But I don’t care cos now I’ve found you
 I will be there as long as you will want me to (As long as you will want me to)

T.D.K 03:03
T.D.K (lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger) I became good at lying
 (You did your best to believe in me) Or maybe when I was trying
 (You kept acting like you didn’t see) I’d love to break down and cry 
But I’ve never really learnt how to And I managed to take you on a ride And now we’re through I became good at lying 
(You did your best to believe in me) Or maybe when I was trying 
(You kept acting like you didn’t see) I became good at lying (You were pretty good) 
Or maybe when I was trying (Did you try hard enough?) Now I’ve done it so many times It’s not like something new 
Oh I wish I kept the truth inside It’s a pain to get used to Let me take you down 
To the memory hole 
It’s the start, the middle and the end It’s everything I own 
Use your imagination I became good at lying 
(You did your best to believe in me) Or maybe when I was trying 
(You kept acting like you didn’t see) I became good at lying (You were pretty good) 
Or maybe when I was trying (Did you try hard enough?)

THE GOD OF THE HORIZON (lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger) I am here
 And I feel no fear 
I’m like the god of the horizon You are the queen of the corazon I need a view 
I want a place for two Why does it take that long To become so headstrong You took all my trouble
 And you made it a double
 We’re going straight into the wall But I don’t seem to mind at all You’ll soon be there It’s gonna clear the air It only took one song Resonating like a gong Just take all my trouble 
And make it a double
 We’re going straight into the wall But I don’t seem to mind at all Why don’t you take all my trouble And make it a double 
We might be going into the wall But I don’t seem to mind at all I’m like the god of the horizon You are the queen of the corazon

Missing 03:37
MISSING (lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger) 
 Coming out of a radio you hear my voice It’s loud and clear 
And you feel it’s gonna ease your fear It’s playing on the stereo you’ve got no choice Coming out of a radio you hear the voice You say you’ve got time to spare But no, you’ve got none to share It’s like a rodeo in a Rolls Royce It’s big and strong 
And you feel it will never go wrong You say you’ve got time to spare But no, you’ve got none to share I’ve been looking for the perfect chord Ever since I was five year old 
Some say I’m not here at all I’ve been searching for a heart of gold Ever since I was ten years old
 Some say I’m not here at all 
I’m not here at all Coming out on video people rejoice It’s loud and clear 
And you feel it’s gonna ease your fear In mono or stereo you get the choice Coming out of a radio you hear the voice You say you’ve got time to spare But no, you’ve got none to share I’ve been looking for the perfect chord Ever since I was five year old
 Some say I’m not here at all I’ve been searching for a heart of gold Ever since I was ten years old 
Some say I’m not here at all
I’m not here at all I’ve been searching for a heart of gold Ever since I was ten years old
 Some say I’m not here at all

Back 4 More 03:13
BACK 4 MORE (lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger) You’re coming back for more They won’t open the door You think you’re gonna make it (x3) You think you’re gonna make this time You dream of wilder shores (You just want a taste of it) About the girl next door (You can’t get enough of it) You think you’re gonna make it (x3) You think you’re gonna make this time You’ll never find a cure There’s so much to explore You think you’re gonna make it (x3) You think you’re gonna make it this time What you are and what you wanna be Doesn’t really matter at all You think you’re gonna make it (x3)
 You think you’re gonna make it this time

Roberr 03:41
ROBERR (lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger) Hitting Rock Bottom I don’t wanna make it OK I just wanna hit the big TIME I’m gonna be a star in no time I know what it takes It’s gonna be fine Just watch me go far, It’s alright I know what it takes It’s gonna be mine

Seven Seas 03:04
SEVEN SEAS 3:04 (lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger) I took the road to my earliest memory As I stood a chance to have you come with me We’re clouds on a windy platform We fly over seven seas A little piece of land may appear out of the blue A castle on the sand might steer into view A little piece of land It’s our chance to start anew I’ll cross the coral strand Settle down forever with you (forever with you) Halfway through our journey You said you had different names You’re hard to follow but I’m gonna try again On the wings of our good vibrations We fly over seven seas A little piece of land may appear out of the blue A castle on the sand might steer into view A little piece of land It’s our chance to start anew I’ll cross the coral strand Settle down forever with you (forever with you) It’s all clear in my head A room with a view It’s all clear in my head Forever with you A little piece of land may appear out of the blue A castle on the sand might steer into view A little piece of land It’s our chance to start anew I’ll cross the coral strand Settle down forever with you (forever with you)

Solid Gold 06:09
SOLID GOLD lyrics by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende music by Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand, Pedro Resende, Raphaël Léger Now that she has put your life on hold You can’t hardly wait to see the stars You know that you’ve found your solid gold But she’s left you with a few more scars And when, when things go bad It’s like free falling into this hole Inside your mind And you hold on to what you had... You go out of sight, out of reach, Wrong or right, out of speech... You were not obsessed with getting old You were waiting for a new set of cards The queen of hearts is back into the fold The song has found its missing bar And when, when things go bad It’s like free falling into this hole Inside your mind And you hold on to what you had... You go out of sight, out of reach, Wrong or right, out of speech
