The song "Boy with a Problem" was written about former Traffic bandmate Chris Wood, whose self-destructive tendencies (particularly his drug addiction) were a cause of increasing concern for Capaldi. - Wikipedia


He tries so hard to get himself together.
But he's so weak he couldn't lift a feather.
And it looks as though it's gonna be bad weather,
When he comes down from the clouds.

His mother says, I wish he'd should stop his drinking.
He's like a ship that's on the verge of sinking.
But she don't see his pupils as they're shrinking,
When he's away in the clouds.


He's just a boy with a problem he caun't conceal.
He thinks he's controlling his habit,
But soon from this earth
He will leave


He used to be a very happy fellow,
And everything he did was very mellow.
But now his skin is slowly turning yellow,
Looking just like a bad dream.

He used to play a melody so pretty.
On a silver stick a long way from the city.
But now my heart is so filled up with pity.
What can we do with him now.


He's just a boy with a problem he caun't conceal.
He thinks he's controlling his habit.
But soon from this earth
He will leave


I'm gonna write a song and send it to him.
And maybe he will see just what I'm feelin'.
I've still got love and hope and my affection,
To keep him from fading away.

The earth is pure, its veins are rivers of water.
And man should be as a father to a daughter.
But he does what he likes, because he thinks he's bought her.
Laughing while he injects her with his filth.


He's just a boy with a problem, lost out in space
We're turning him into a junkie, look at his face,
What a disgrace!



Jim Capaldi (on Drums & Lead vocal with Traffic)
2 August 1944 - 28 January 2005 (aged 60)

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Terry: Are you optimistic 'bout the way that things are going?
Pete: No, I never ever think of it at all.
Terry: Don't you ever worry when you see what's going down?
Pete: Well, I try to mind my business, that is, no business at all.


Terry: When it's time to function as a feeling human being, will your Bachelor
of Arts help you get by?
Pete: I hope to study further, a few more years or so.
I also hope to keep a steady high.

Terry: Will you try to change things, use the power that you have,
The power of a million new ideas?
Pete: What is this power you speak of and the need for things to change?
I always thought that ev'rything was fine, ev'rything is fine.

Terry: Don't you feel repression just closing in around?
Pete: No, the campus here is very very free.
Terry: Don't it make you angry the way war is dragging on?
Pete: Well I hope the President knows what he's into, I don't know.
Oooh I just don't know.

Terry: Don't you see starvation in the city where you live,
all the needless hunger, all the needless pain?
Pete: I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine,
but my neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause they haven't got the time,
Haven't got the time.

Terry: Thank you for the talk, you know you really eased my mind,
I was troubled by the shapes of things to come.
Pete: Well, if you had my outlook, your feelings would be numb,
You'd always think that ev'rything was fine.
Ev'ry thing is fine.

We can make it better (x3) Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
We can change the world now (x3)

We can save the children (x3)
We can make it happen (x3)

I heard church bells ring
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
on her finger he placed a ring

Oooh oh

I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise
Til death do us part
Each word
Was a pain
In my heart

All i could do was cry
All i could do was cry
I was losing the man that i love
and all i could do was cry

And now the wedding is over
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
but mine is ending

Ooh

All i could do was cry
All i could do was cry
I was losing the man that i love
and all i could do was cry

Tant de belles choses

2004,Virgin



Même s'il me faut lâcher ta main
Sans pouvoir te dire "à demain"
Rien ne défera jamais nos liens
Même s'il me faut aller plus loin
Couper les ponts, changer de train
L'amour est plus fort que le chagrin
L'amour qui fait battre nos coeurs
Va sublimer cette douleur
Transformer le plomb en or
Tu as tant de belles choses à vivre encore
Tu verras au bout du tunnel
Se dessiner un arc-en-ciel
Et refleurir les lilas
Tu as tant de belles choses devant toi
Même si je veille d'une autre rive
Quoi que tu fasses, quoiqu'il t'arrive
Je serai avec toi comme autrefois
Même si tu pars à la dérive
L'état de grâce, les forces vives
Reviendront plus vite que tu ne crois
Dans l'espace qui lie le ciel et la terre
Se cache le plus grand des mystères
Comme la brume voilant l'aurore
Il y a tant de belles choses que tu ignores
La foi qui abat les montagnes
La source blanche dans ton âme
Penses-y quand tu t'endors
L'amour est plus fort que la mort
Dans le temps qui lie ciel et terre
Se cache le plus beau des mystères
Penses-y quand tu t'endors
L'amour est plus fort que la mort

How can I run away from darkness at the close of day
When all I think about is you?
Not knowing where I'm going, what am I to do
When all I think about is you?

I'll stand an hour knocking
Knowing that my heart is mockin' me
She doesn't live here anymore

I don't know why I bother, what else can I do
When all I think about is you?
Dream maker, heart breaker, how can dreams come true
When all I dream about is you?

I'll stand an hour knocking
Knowing that my heart is mockin' me
She doesn't live here anymore, oh

How can I run away from darkness at the close of day
When all I think about is you?
Not knowing where I'm going, what am I to do
When all I think about is you?

I don't know why I bother, what else can I do
When all I think about is you?

Go jump in the lake, go ride up the hill
Get out of this house
It's a house of your making, it's a house of ill will
Get out of this house


Go listen to Buddha, go listen to Joe
Get out of this house
If anyone asks, you tell them you don't know
Get out of this house


I spent eleven long years in a hot house zone
I spent twentynine more trying to get home
Well I never got home, but I did what I did
And I got myself this house and you can't come in


I'm the queen of my castle, I'm the king of my room
Get out of this house
I got more than I need, more than I ever could use
Get out of this house


I spent seventeen years trying to save my soul
I spent twentythree more down in the hole
Now my soul is alright but I might get found out
I got myself this house now and I can't get out


If I see you again it will be in my head at the end of a cloud
If you see me again it will be in your head telling you to get out


You act like a baby, you talk like a fool
Get out of this house
Go back to your mama, go back to high school
Get out of this house


Go jump in the lake, go jump out the door
Get out of this house
I've had all I can stand and I can't stand no more
Get out of this house
Get out of this house

Perhaps I'll be a bird one day
if I am good enough
and I'll spread out and fly way
and give up all this stuff

I am from a country land
where beauty only grows
and though I'd love to leave some day
I'd dare not ever go

And should you see my sister
she is small and gold
They will not hear a word you say
they don't believe in souls

When the world was a little younger
Fairytales were always true
Every face was filled with laughter
Every day brought something new

Summertime seemed to last forever
Friends would come and friends would go
But their warmth would always linger
In the days when time ran slow

Make the world was a little younger
Let the laughter in
Yesterday was filled with magic
Bring it back again

Make the world a little younger
Wear a happy face
When the world's a little younger
Life's a brighter place

When the world was a little younger
Love was just a smile away
There was time for going fishing
And the games we used to play

Make the world was a little younger
Let the laughter in
Yesterday was filled with magic
Bring it back again
