WAKE UP I’m running in the cold night I can see the streetlight The blue screens in the houses The kids and the spouses They think they’re cool With their piece of grass and pool This will drive me to distraction Now’s the time to ask the big question Wake up Wake up Wake up We know what’s coming up Time to act before We drink the cup Wake up Wake up Wake up We know what’s coming up Before we drink the cup I’m running in the cold night Away from the safelight The very sight of this neighborhood Brings me back to my childhood Money makes them feel they’re safe It’s the only thing they can face Hostages from the green bill They’d be ready to kill Wake up Wake up Wake up We know what’s coming up Time to act before We drink the cup Wake up Wake up Wake up We know what’s coming up Before we drink the cup I’m running in the cold night Not a soul in sight Big wheels shiny black cars Sheltered from the crowbars The gates are made of steel They know the danger is real Things can go wrong The temptation is too strong Wake up Wake up Wake up We know what’s coming up Time to act before We drink the cup Wake up Wake up Wake up We know what’s coming up Before we drink the cup Wake up Wake up We know what’s coming up Before we drink the cup We know what’s coming up Before we drink the cup

Misunderstanding So many traps we fell into We lost the count of two and two So many hopes are gone in vain After all we had the same aim So many times the same mistakes But I guess that’s what it takes So many nights not a word to say I’ve got a black hole in my heart today It’s a big big misunderstanding We don’t mean all the things that we say I’m on the verge of going insane But I love you just the same I’ve seen them all and got their words Why do I feel I’ve never been heard? The time has come for you to see I’m just a woman and you know me You should look for another target Cos’ somehow I’ll never forget The distance you left me so cold Now I need to come home It’s a big big misunderstanding We don’t mean all the things that we say I’m on the verge of going insane But I love you just the same

Family Tree Lost in my memories Too many stories Told me I was blind I don’t know what I’ll find But the never ending rage Blocked away In a cage We should learn from mistakes That’s what it takes There’s so much at stake We’ve got to break free Shake the family tree It’s hard to turn the page We’ve got to break free Shake the family tree For the new generations Don’t take it for granted Open up the doors I won’t hide anymore Anymore The future could be bright (But) You gotta keep it right Like a chain reaction We’ve got to break free Shake the family tree It’s hard to turn the page We’ve got to break free Shake the family tree It’s hard to turn the page We’ve got to break free Shake the family tree For the new generations

Walk Out Walk out that door Don’t say no more Leave me alone Don’t stay so close I’m askin’ you I know so many fears But I’ve reached a point Where you fade away How many chances I’ve got to take Will I survive Tomorrow’s fate No tears no cry Give me more time How can I believe in love, in life when I’m so scared So what became of me I need your help Is anybody there ? Anybody who can stop it before I die How many chances I’ve got to take Will I survive Tomorrow’s fate

Trouble Trouble ... Oh trouble set me free I have seen your face and it's too much for me Trouble ... Oh trouble can't you see You're eating my heart away and there's nothing much left of me I've drunk your wine You have made your world mine So won't you be fair ... So won't you be fair I don't want no more of you So won't you be kind to me Just let me go where ... I'll have to go there Trouble ... Oh trouble move away I have seen your face and it's too much for me today Trouble ... Oh trouble can't you see You have made me a wreck Now won't you leave me in my misery I've seen your eyes And I can see death's disguise Hangin' on me ... Hangin' on me I'm beat, I'm torn Shattered and tossed and worn Too shocking to see ... Too shocking to see Trouble ... Oh trouble move from me I have paid my debt Now won't you leave me in my misery I've drunk your wine You have made your world mine So won't you be fair ... So won't you be fair I don't want no more of you So won't you be kind to me Just let me go where ... I'll have to go there Trouble ... Oh trouble please be kind I don't want no fight And I haven't got a lot of time

about

DRESS Lausanne, Switzerland

It was after an unlikely encounter that Dress was born in 2006. That of Brigitte Buhlmann Poget, a fan of soul, funk and R'n'B, and Laurent Poget, raised in the rock culture of the 70ties.
In 2007, Dress delivers a remarked debut album, "Misunderstanding".
"Transparency" is their new eclectic album where the voice is the common thread that takes you to the very personal sound of DRESS.
