lyrics
I wanted you to stay,
on that sun drenched holiday,
two visions on the fly,
only you and I.
Those replicas remind,
hollowed out in daydream time,
on that shadowless drive
beneath the empty sky.
Those were happy times.
Forget the few,
those quiet fires
had nothing on you,
and we almost lost our minds,
In the bottle's shine.
Those were happy times.
Like, love, lust
sometimes you have to kill
the one you trust.
But we could only try...
Oh, those those were happy times,
Oh so happy,
Those were happy times,
Oh so happy.
Somewhere out there,
someone's breaking down
the barricade,
and beneath a halo of flame,
someone else becomes the slave.

This "Live at Montreux" is an incredible rendition of the beauty of her music. "Ugly and Vengeful" will make you cry with this fantastic version, sublimating the studio version. Jérémy Payan
