    The album is a collection of ten songs, written and recorded at various stages in time and in different locations, like a musical travel diary or sound-postcards.

    'Always This Same Old Song' is the oldest track on the album. It reflects on the emotional healing power of certain songs in our lives - their capacity to make us forget the present and transport us to another dimension

    'Sushi Wang' can be defined as Gangsta Rock. It's an insult song written in Cambridge, 2013. The resentment is gone but the song remains.

    'Ma Chevre' is a metaphor for unconventional love - a cry from the heart sent out to all anti-conformists, who reject the lives prescribed for them by others, in order to embrace alternative tastes and lifestyles.

    'Pas de Probleme' was written in 2020 during the first lockdown. It's a conversation between a human and a police-robot. A man, on a stroll through the streets of Paris, is stopped and questioned by the police-robot who is incapable of comprehending the notion that a human might feel the need to move from one place to another, without good reason.

    'Foot' dates from 2018. It depicts the atmosphere of violence, diffused daily by the media, where only the sports pages seem to offer a glimmer of hope, with a clear preference for football.

    'I Do We Do' recounts the metamorphosis of a man who is feeling listless and despondent and dreams of a different world. He encounters a fairy and realises that he has to change his paradigm, to be able to bounce back.

    'Oh Man' tells of a man's race against time, in his desire to understand everything and miss out on nothing. He spends his time chasing the clock, as if everything is passing him by - like someone who watches each grain of sand trickle through the hourglass, rather than roam the desert.

    'Ginger Brown' is a high goddess, who can only be seen and celebrated by broken brains. She takes on different shapes to charm the devil and the good to participate in her dance. Some say she has 3 hearts, 2 faces, a soulless expression. For others she never lies, because she is mute and without flesh. Her existence knows no limits or bounds.

    'Y Generation' discusses Generation Y's continual questioning of everything and its refusal of dogmas. It's a trip to Wonderland - a realisation that the world is in flux and that today's certainties will, perhaps, be tomorrow's black holes

    'The Low Land' is a telepathic dialogue between two physically separated friends, who find themselves in an imaginary world that they wish never to leave.

    There is no common thread between these tracks. They were made with different people and different instruments, in different times and places.

    The last takes were done at Studio CBE Paris.

    The « Better Lucky Than Beautiful » cover was painted by the Maastricht artist, Karel Dicker.

The Low Land 03:26
I see mountains at the top I see fountains in the rock And a slow train On a slow plane There’s a cool band playing rock There’s a river down the slope Can you hear it? Can you feel it? I don’t wanna leave The Low Land I don’t wanna leave The Low Land Here the harvest has been done In the air some tiny flies Bump on my skin. Do you feel them ? I know that you are still in town I hear your voice sending postcards I wish you were here. I wish you could see what I see I don’t wanna leave The Low Land I don’t wanna leave The Low Land

Ma Chèvre 03:52
Ma chèvre, je t’aime comme un fou J’aime les chèvres, je l’avoue Ma chèvre, je t’aime plus que tout Jolie chèvre, c’était vous Toujours près de moi, je l’aime cette chèvre Elle me regarde tout le temps avec ses grands yeux en amandes Cette chèvre, c’est la plus douce de toutes les chèvres Oh toi ma chèvre je t’aime beaucoup Jolie chèvre, je t’aime plus que tout Tu me rends chèvre, je te couvre de bisous Jolie chèvre, je t’aime plus que tout Lis sur mes lèvres je te couvre de bisous Je la vois tous les jours, on se promène dans la montagne Ma chèvre, elle est plus forte que toutes les chèvres Elle est plus belle que toutes les chèvres que j’ai pu croiser sur la route Oh ma chèvre, oui je t’aime, plus de doute Ma chèvre, je t’aime comme un fou Tu me rends chèvre, je te couvre de bisous Ma chèvre, je t’aime plus que tout Jolie chèvre, c’était vous

Always singing this same old song When everything goes wrong, she plays Always this same old song, all along It comes to your mind So heady and kind It comes to your brain and gets rid of your pain Just singing, always this same old song, all day long Always, singing the same old song Whether you’re old or young Just play always this same old song, all day long It stays with you all the time Just play this song to feel fine It stays with you in your mind And life comes sweet and kind

I Do We Do 04:13
I do I do - I do complain about the rules I do we do - we do remain among the fools I do I do - Follow the trains I do not choose I do we do - We play a game with different clues Your time has come now Think you should go now It seems insane to be cheerful And so easy to feel insane Stand up people and break the rules There's no trouble I wouldn't blame It is crazy to be sinful Life is a bully we fear in vain Wake up people get up and pull New illusions to fix your brains

Sushi Wang 03:10
Fake Fake Guru Sushi Wang I don’t Love you Sushi Wang I don’t trust you Sushi Wang Fake Fake gurus all around No good in you Sushi Wang One, two, fuck you Sushi Clown I don’t blame you Sushi Clown Fake fake gurus all around

Y Generation 03:30
You see the sun I see the stars Mind on the run. I’m going far away from home. On a plane, Here I land Wonderland: Here I am Y generation Y generation Y generation And I wander far away to see the end Wonder why And I wonder everyday then start again Wonder why Y generation Y generation Y generation

Ginger Brown 03:31
We can’t escape from Ginger Brown She rules and shapes our simple minds Anger scrapes lower kinky brains Mules, fools, and rules again It keeps me going, it keeps me doing just fine It keeps me running outta space in real time It keeps me going, it keeps me doing just fine It keeps me running hundreds miles away When you struggle - I’m in your blood I’m the joy and I’m the troubled world The curse and the spell - I embody the couple I’m the good and the bad - I’m bicephalous I send epiphanies and create hustles X different greys into the sky Another maze after the past It keeps me going, it keeps me doing just fine It keeps me runnin hundreds miles away
8.
Oh Man 03:23
Oh man you want to know the start and the end before the blame You run inside a clock you feel short on time Oh man you want to hold and to let go all at once You run - You run You crave for limits in your own mind, you dream of a spell - In your own in your own mind Oh man you want to know where you come from and how can ashes become flowers Oh man you want to know how much time you have to find out To find out

Pas De Pbm 02:54
Mais tu sais je ne me rappelle plus pourquoi J’ai fait un détour en rentrant chez moi En effet je crois qu’ça c’est fait comme ça Oui c’est vrai pourquoi vous ne me croyez pas Surtout je ne veux pas de problème Juste retrouver la vie que j’aime Oui je sais je n’me rappelle plus parfois Oui j’essaie mais là ça n’me revient pas Je ne voudrais pas te faire de peine Mais serais content que tu comprennes Surtout je ne veux pas de problèmes Juste retrouver la vie que j’aime Toutes mes journées sont les mêmes Je voudrais me sauver du système. Aller voyager vers Carthagène Si par les égouts j’irai quand même. Surtout je ne veux pas de problèmes Juste retrouver la vie que j’aime J’vais voir la Seine j’vais voir la Seine ça va Je reste zen, je reste zen pour toi Je twiste je twiste c’est triste c’est triste pour moi T’assignes, t’assignes Je signe d’un signe de croix Non moi je ne veux pas de problèmes Juste retrouver la vie que j’aime
