Thales Group is a French company that designs and builds electronic systems and provides services for the aerospace, defence, transportation and security markets. The headquarters are in Neuilly-sur-Seine (in the suburbs of Paris), and its stock is listed on the Euronext Paris.
The company changed its name to Thales from Thomson-CSF in December 2000 shortly after the £1,300 million acquisition of Racal Electronics plc, a UK defence electronics group. It is now partially state-owned by the French State, and has operations in more than 50 countries. It has 68,000 employees and generated €13.03 billion in revenues in 2011. The Group is ranked as the 475th largest company by Fortune 500 Global, is the 11th largest defence contractor in the world and 60% of its total sales are military sales.
Significant changes have occurred since the largest private shareholder, Alcatel, sold its stake in Thales to Dassault. The CEO for many years, Denis Ranque, was replaced by Luc Vigneron (formerly of the much smaller state-controlled armoured vehicle manufacturer Nexter) who has initiated an extensive re-organisation.

I am the toiler the old ship-slave
I stoke the fire that keep you brave
And this I gave for all mankind
to sail away on an ocean wave..
I am the voyager of the ocean grey
I wayfarer see fairway
And this I gave for all mankind
to sail away on an ocean wave..
I am the sailor - the ocean slave
Fill your sail with the breath I gave
And this I gave for all mankind
to sail away on an ocean wave..
I am the captain of the love brigade
With every breath I am your slave
And this I gave for all mankind
to sail away on an ocean wave..
..sail away on an ocean wave
..sail away on the airwaves
Everyday there's always...
Much to pay, the law says...
I owe you - you owe me
I know you can stand on your
Own two feet
On this street for knowledge
You must eat your porridge
I'll feed you - you'll feed me
I'll see you stand on your
Own two feet
On the farm
Linking your arm in arm
There's no harm in
Greasing your neighbour's palm
Wild eyes realise this eager dream to prophesise
Everybody?s got a dream show them what you mean
Dramatise underline the route to perfect paradise
And with a missionary zeal you will make it real
The time has come to kneel
Dramatise underline the route to perfect paradise
And with a missionary zeal you will make it real
The time has come to kneel
Take me, take me, take me by the hand I cannot see
Shake me, shake me, shake me wake me up and set me free
Tired eyes don?t despise I give you all I idolise
I?ll show you everything you've seen
Can?t promise happiness you see
To me it?s all a dream
Over - the storm is over,
Over - it's all blown over
The rain has fallen,
the wind is talkin,
the road is callin'
and we're on our way
Over - the party's over
Over - it's stone cold sober
The spell is broken,
The wind has spoken,
The road is open
And we're on our way
On and on and, on and on and
On and on and, on and on and
On - and - on
Over the storm is over
We're all blown over
The leaves have fallen
The winter's dawning
The path is callin'
And we're on our way
On and on and, on and on and [8x]
I was lookin' thru my window
I was lookin' thru my eyes
And there's a big black car coming
Get off the street outside - come in
Go into a pipedream no-one listens anyway
When I say I'm so sad about, Not so glad about,
I'm so mad - I can't sleep tonight
I was going thru a nightmare
I was layin' on the line
And there's a big black train coming
D'you think it would be a shame running
Go into a bathroom
No-one looking anyway
When I say I'm so sad about, Not so glad about,
I'm so mad - I can't sleep tonight
I was lookin' thru my window
I was lookin' thru my eyes
And there's a big black cloud coming
Get off the street outside - come in
Go into a pipedream no-one listens anyway
When I say I'm so sad about, Not so glad about,
I'm so mad - I can't sleep tonight
Woke up with a feelin',
I found me lying on the floor
look up at the ceiling,
I must be dreaming
I get that feelin',
Oh my lord I can't take no more
You can't stop that feeling
It just goes on for evermore
What we believe in
Is just a feeling
So thank God for that feeling
Oh my lord I can't take no more
I get the feeling
That I am responding to a call
I am receiving and
I get that meaning
So hats off to that feeling
I could not ask for anymore
Oh no! Don't go down to Doledrum
Oh no! Don't go down to Doledrum
If you know what's good for you
Then you know what you can do
Just get up a fuss and shout
Get a on the bus get out of..
Doledrum!
All my life goes by in Doledrum
I'll see ninety-five in Doledrum
I can't see much down for me
I think I'll run away to see
I'll just get on my coat and shout
Get a on the bus get out of..
Doledrum!
Give me one last kiss
Before I walk out of this
Give me some money
Cos I'm right in a hurry
To get a way out of this
But I'm tellin' you this
That I don't aim to miss
To get away out of this...
Give it all you got now
Give it all you got now - Yeah, give a little
Give it all you got now
Give it all you got now - Yeeeaaah.. give a little..
Let me tell you this
Before I walk out of this
Some say it's sunny
but I don't think that's funny
And I'm telling you this
'Cos I don't aim to miss
To get away out of this...
Give it all you got now
Give it all you got now - Yeah give a little
Give it all you got now
Give it all you got now - Yeeeaaah.. give a little..
Bid me one last wish
Before I walk out of this
Give me the hammer to shatter the dream
To get away out of this
The melody always finds me
Whenever the thought reminds me
Breaking a chain inside my head
The melody chord unwinds me
The rhythm of life unties me
Brushing the hands of time away
If you look in your mind
Do you know what you will find
Open your mind...
Even the words they fail me
Oh look what it's doing to me
I never say what I want to say
It's only a word believe me
If only the world could see me
I promise I'd send the word away
If you look with your eyes
Do you know what you will find
Open your mind
There she goes
There she goes again
Racin' thru' my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsing thru' my vein
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes, there she goes again
She calls my name, pulls my train
No-one else can heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she goes
There she goes
There she goes
Wa-ant..
I'll sell you a life story..
About a man who's at loggerheads with his past all the time
He's alive and living in purgatory
All he's doing is rooming up in hotels
And scooping up lots of wine
There was once a boy of life..
Who lived upon a knife
He took his share of everywhere
But he never took a wife...
He was born to live like a mercenary
Well personally I think that's fine
If you're in the right mind
He was burned by the twentieth century
Now he's doing time
In the back of his mind
He can hear them outside
Better run, Rabbit run
Run into the sun
Kick your heels in the killing fields
Run rabbit run
You're a son of a gun
Oh tell me where I'm goin'
Tell me why I'm bound
To tear the pages open
Turn the world around..
Open up the broken door
for all lost will be found
Walk into the empty room
but never make a sound
Oh tell me where I'm goin'
Tell me why I'm bound
To tear the pages open
Turn the world around..
I've seen everybody
Everybody's seen me
In the lookin' glass
I'm in everybody
Everybody's in me
In the stone is cast -
The glass is smashed
The past -
it never says
it never makes a sound
Whispered ways were chosen
Echoes will be found
Mirrors that were broken
Lay there on the ground
Though the way lies open
Will the way be found
Oh tell me where I'm goin'
Tell me why I'm bound
To tear the pages open
Turn the world around..
So the story goes it
Everybody knows it
Look into the past
We can't live without it
We can't live within it
Everything must pass
The change is cast...
I've seen everybody
Everybody's seen me
In the lookin' glass
I'm in everybody
Everybody's in me
In the stone is cast -
The glass is smashed
