    As the pleasure is goldmine, the picture that adorns the cover of the brand new EP could have been taken in Morocco in 1967. But it didn't happen that way. The legendary French photographer Renaud Monfourny snapped it on one glorious spring day of the roaring 2020s, in the midday sun, somewhere in the heart of Paris (Saint Paul!). Then Pascal Blua (the renowned graphic designer who's been working with Rocabois for 4 years now) imagined this James Bond-like cover art. Three new songs, one shaman-like chant, a brilliant recreation by Le SuperHomard AND the printed lyrics: so many good reasons to surrender to The Pleasure Is Goldmine EP on CD!

lyrics

Though we've been trying
A zillion times
I've been losing sleep
I can't concentrate
When I'm on my own
You destroyed my self-esteem
In the blink of an eye

I would have loved to love you
But it was not to be
Babies making babies
They happen not to love
Sometimes
Forever is composed of nows
Complete strangers
We never got along fine
As far as I can remember
The longest dream I've had

I would have loved to love you
I really would
My nervous system is falling to pieces
One too many arguments
I'm living for a better life
I'm leaving for a second time
