Tomato field

By Charlotte Lemieux
That night I couldn’t count the clouds
Too many stars were glowing before my eyes
I couldn’t hear the hurrying cars
Men shouting loudly choked by their long golden ties
Rolling on fiery roads of slippery leather
I couldn’t hear them ‘cause in my ears
Were melting words of a memorable tale
There was a man who owned a tomato field
He had found under the mud
The way to a paradise bud
But he promised his lips would be forever sealed
As I was counting the floating leaves of late October
Suddenly shone the sun through the sleeping trees
With flaming red petals to the pulp of my fingers
All around I was painting roses and bees
And I couldn’t feel the early winter spread its cold frost
‘Cause in my ears were gently sung
The joyful words of a children’s tale
There was a man who owned a tomato field
He had found under the mud
The way to a paradise bud
But he promised his lips would be forever sealed
Although I sometimes can clearly see
The bleeding sands and the crying skies
I will keep on dancing to the rhythm of a heartbeat
With a mustard stained dress as a graceful gown
I will keep on dancing to the rhythm of a heartbeat
Keep on dancing to the rhythm of a heartbeat
I will keep on dancing to the rhythm of a heartbeat
With a mustard stained dress as a graceful gown
Jumping from rainbow to rainbow to colour my toes
To forget for a minute or two
Yeh we might be wasting precious ones

Lazy girl

By Caroline Allatt and Nicole Lefebvre
Sittin’ on a bench
Below that moody moon
You want me to kiss you
Well, babe that’s a bad move
You’re wearing that face again
I told you before can't stand the pain
But I can’t help but break your heart
If you insist not to hear
What I thought I made clear
Won’t you understand
My heart cannot beat for you
‘Cause I’m a lazy girl
Yes I’m a lazy girl
I’m a lazy girl
Yes I’m a lazy girl
I’m telling you babe
Your smell will remain forever under my skin
But you insist
I make it clear now
My heart cannot live up to you
‘Cause I’m a lazy girl
Yes I’m a lazy girl
I’m a lazy girl
Yes I’m a lazy girl oh yeh
solo
‘Cause I’m a lazy girl
Yes I’m a lazy girl
I’m a lazy girl
Yes I’m a lazy girl yeh

Big lie

By Caroline Allatt
Lady speed stick
You perfume my armpit
Later if I smell
I will throw you in hell
That’s what some say
But I prefer my own smell
What are you hiding
And for whom anyway
Everybody’s hiding oh yeh somehow
`Such a big lie
Writing shits to sing hits
Sayin’ hello and goodbye
To buddies with their dreams
That is such a big lie
Come to my door
I won’t fight anymore
What are you hiding
And for whom anyway
Everybody’s hiding oh yeh somehow
`Such a big lie
Solo
Neighboors downstairs
Come and sing with us
But if my music vous goss
V’nez cogner dans ma porte
Pas dans mon plancher
Parce m’a continuer d’tapper du pied
What are you hiding
And for whom anyway
Everybody’s hiding oh yeh somehow
`Such a big lie
`Such a big lie

By Caroline Allatt
I don’t like it when your clothes are on my face
Do I look like the girl who’s sayin’
''Oh I need your body on me''?
Ya I really do need your body on me
You kissed me again this morning
‘Felt like my days life will taste that
We did it both hearts fit
You see
Money goes out for you this month
But don’t let go the fact my babe
That four weeks ago you left me alone
With the proprio
Through the smoke and old bottles left near the couch
Dear I can feel it’s gonna be like this
On and on
Ya it’s gonna be like this on and on
Solo
Help me to hate you yeh
I don’t like it when I’m lost within you
I love you, but I don’t
You see?
Money goes out for you this month
But don’t let go the fact my babe
That four weeks ago you left me alone
With the proprio
Too many days now nothing change at all
I have no choice babe now and for later days
I’m leaving you alone
With the proprio
Da daa da da daa...
It was a good one!

Caroline Allatt Vancouver, British Columbia
Summery of 1960-70, the singer who scat on folk and jigs on blues. An honest and powerful voice that lifts our spirits.
Comedic or tragic lyrics or a combination of both, indicate the sensitivity of an old soul in a young body and a crazy mind!
