lyrics

Wysiwig
(Edouard Poujaud, Patrice Steinberger - Elephant and Castle)

Look
You see this house
You see this woman
Look at her legs
When what you believe is in doubt
Wysiwyg !
When all your life looks like a rout
Wysiwyg !

Look
You see this garden
You see those children
Forget your lawn
When you are sinking in the grass
Wysiwyg !
When all your being is a gas
Wysiwyg !

I'd like to teach you
To be yourself
It will make you lighter
I'll initiate you
You need a church
I can make you, make you

Look
You see this town
You see those towers
Open your arms
Cause it's your world don't you forget ?
Wysiwyg !
And What You See Is What You Get
Wysiwyg !

I'd like to touch you
Just with my fingers
And then give, give you the power
I would elate you
You need a drug
It will send you, fling you

Higher
You'll be over it
You'll have a better view
When you look at your life from a height
Account for each thing
Things you've got, things you've lost

You lost love
Have you lost all love ?
Have you lost all your love ?
If you got love
If you got a few loves
You've got to love again
So it's your life, don't you forget ?
Wysiwyg !
And What You See Is What You've got
Wysiwyg !

I'd like to touch you
Just with my fingers
And then give, give you the power
I would elate you
You need a drug
It will send you, fling you

Higher
You'll be over it
You'll have a better view
When you look at your life from a height
Account for each thing
Things you've got, things you've lost

You lost love
Have you lost all love ?
Have you lost all your love ?
If you got love
If you got a few love
You've got to love again

So it's your life, don't you forget wysiwyg !
And What You See Is What You've got
Wysiwyg !

I'd like to show your
Material world
I can make you richer. I'd like to show your,
Material world,
It can make you richer
Let love be your church
Sex be your drug
It will make you lighter

Just be wysiwyg
So What You See Is What You Get
We're riding horses to heaven

about

Elephant and Castle image

Elephant and Castle Paris, France

Born in London at the end of the 80s, the french band E&C had turned the established order of prog rock upside down. They invented an elaborate music, inflated with the energies of Led Zep, Queen or Alice Cooper. The band was compared to such icons as IQ, Rush and Saga. One album (The Green One 1991), one tour, and then it’s over? No way. Two albums (one studio, one live), are released in 2021 ... more
