about

The tragic life and death of the famous outlaw Billy Bonnie Kid.

lyrics

What’s the use of looking
On the gloomy side of everything?
The laugh’s on me this time.
Billy Bonnie kid, are you still alive?

Orphan at 15, arrested at 16
I fled New Mexico to Arizona
I was a gambler and a thief
Sentenced to be hanged
Escaped from jail, I killed 2 men,
Singing…

What’s the use of looking
On the gloomy side of everything?
The laugh’s on me this time.
Billy Bonnie kid, are you still alive?

On the run I lost my horse
I walked the desert, starved to death
Whistling a tune of joy,
“You’re gonna hang till you’re dead, dead, dead.
Said the sheriff when i got caught
I answered “Go to hell, hell, hell!”
Singing…

What’s the use of looking
On the gloomy side of everything?
The laugh’s on me this time.
Billy Bonnie kid, are you still alive?

I shot the sheriff, a bullet in his head.
They hunted me and shot me
A bullet in my young heart
Billy, I’m a kid, shot at 21,
And now I’m riding free…
Singing…

What’s the use of lookingOn the gloomy side of everything?
The laugh’s on me this time.
Billy Bonnie kid, are you still alive?
Billy Bonnie kid, my rage is still alive!

The music of Alain Servant is a synthesis of his years of artistic vagrancy. His practice is based in narrative: his craft is the construction of worlds where everything is distorted yet illuminated. Listening his albums is like rolling through the shifting narrative structure of a dream revealing a unique wisdom that weaves piss and vinegar parables, speaking reassurances in hoarse tones. ... more
