Biography

French electronic pop band from Versailles (Yvelines, West suburb of Paris) formed in 1997. Thomas Croquet (aka [a=Thomas Mars], vocals), Frederic Moulin (aka [a=Deck D'Arcy], bass), and Christian Mazzalai (guitars) were the original trio who would become known as Phoenix. Mazzalai's older brother Laurent Mazzalai (aka [a550175] aka Branco) joined the trio when his band broke up in 1995 (see [a=Darlin']), and two years later they called themselves Phoenix. At this point they were still making rock music without the synth-rock sounds, and released a single on their own label [l=Ghettoblaster]. Shortly there-after, they were signed to the Paris-based [l=Source]. While there, they got aquainted with label-mates [a=AIR], and were the backing band for a number of TV appearances. From this connection, Phoenix created their first French house track in 1999, "Heatwave." This was the precursor to their debut album, "United". From this, they appeared on a number of compilations, but went on a creative hiatus until 2004.

LYRICS

Could you, could you come tonight?
Instead of going under
Could you, could you come tonight?
Would you think it'd be her last December?
Could it be the way she combs her hair?
It must have been the day you lost to care
What if I was the answer to your prayer?
Yeah, you need a little candor, need a little candor

What if we last till it's dawn like you promised me?
Who let the boys spill their entree?
Dinner is served, can't you see we're not opposites?
Are you still up thinking of me?

I take all the blame
Is it hard to understand?
When it's all the same
I've played all the games
And lost almost everything
Now I talk to myself and it's quite surprising

Roll with me
Let's roll

Could you, could you come tonight?
I'm counting from the thunder
Could you, could you come tonight?
I got a feeling that you know the number

Could I be the best to jump ahead?
Your feet are hurting less with moccasins
I never heard another comment since
You need a little splendor, need a little splendor

What if we last till it's dawn like you promised me?
Who let the boys spill their entree?
Dinner is served, can't you see we're not opposites?
Are you still up thinking of me?

I take all the blame
Is it hard to understand?
When it's all the same
I've played all the games
And lost almost everything
Now I talk to myself and it's quite surprising

Roll with me
Let's roll with me

I talk to myself and it's quite surprising
In the middle of the night
Roll
Now I talk to myself and it's quite surprising
In the middle of a fight
Roll

Can't you see the sign up on the wall?
In the middle of the night
Roll
Can't you see the sign up on the wall?
In the middle of a fight
I talk to myself and it's quite surprising

Roll with me
Let's roll with me

I wish I could be someone like you
Wish I could be someone else, someone like you
Wish I could be someone else, someone like you
Be someone else, someone else, someone like you
Wish I could be someone else, someone like you
Be someone else, someone else, someone like you
