A UNE PASSANTE (texte Charles Baudelaire) La rue assourdissante autour de moi hurlait, Longue, mince, en grand deuil et douleur majestueuse. Un femme passat, d'une main fastueuse Soulevant, balançant le feston et l'ourlet; Agile et noble, avec sa jambe de statue Moi, je buvais, crispé comme un extravagant, Dans son oeil, ciel livide où germe l'ouragan La douceur qui fascine et le plaisir qui tue. Un éclair... puis la nuit! Fugitive beauté Dont le regard m'a fait soudainement renaïtre, Ne te verrais-je plus que dans l'éternité? Ailleurs, bien loin d'ici, trop tard, jamais peut-être? Car j'ignore où tu fuis, tu ne sais où je vais Ô toi que j'eusse aimée, ô toi qui le savais! |

LA BALLADE DES PENDUS (Francois Villon) Frères humains, qui après nous vivez, N'ayez les coeurs contre nous endurcis, Car, si pitié de nous pauvres avez, Dieu en aura plus tôt de vous mercis. Vous nous voyez ci attachés, cinq, six : Quant à la chair, que trop avons nourrie, Elle est piéça dévorée et pourrie, Et nous, les os, devenons cendre et poudre. De notre mal personne ne s'en rie ; Mais priez Dieu que tous nous veuille absoudre ! Se frères vous clamons, pas n'en devez Avoir dédain, quoique fûmes occis Par justice. Toutefois, vous savez Que tous hommes n'ont pas bon sens rassis. Excusez-nous, puisque sommes transis, Envers le fils de la Vierge Marie, Que sa grâce ne soit pour nous tarie, Nous préservant de l'infernale foudre. Nous sommes morts, âme ne nous harie, Mais priez Dieu que tous nous veuille absoudre ! La pluie nous a débués et lavés, Et le soleil desséchés et noircis. Pies, corbeaux nous ont les yeux cavés, Et arraché la barbe et les sourcils. Jamais nul temps nous ne sommes assis Puis çà, puis là, comme le vent varie, A son plaisir sans cesser nous charrie, Plus becquetés d'oiseaux que dés à coudre. Ne soyez donc de notre confrérie ; Mais priez Dieu que tous nous veuille absoudre ! Prince Jésus, qui sur tous a maistrie, Garde qu'Enfer n'ait de nous seigneurie : A lui n'ayons que faire ne que soudre. Hommes, ici n'a point de moquerie ; Mais priez Dieu que tous nous veuille absoudre ! |
There is a clock up there |

BE SEEING YOU Hello, dear Alan How do you feel? You've been sleeping for a long time And you had sweet dreams. You've returned from the dead From a counter-clock life But soon a sinful rain wants To refresh your eyes. You're Number 27 Says he's not of the Village You think you're very strong But we can break you if we want You can stay and live here As long as you like My only question will be Why did you resign? You could have a walk around And appreciate the landscape You could meet your lovely neighbours And you can play the games of chess You can run down to the beach You can even rent a car You can just win a fit But you can never get out You can never get out No, you can never get out You can never get out You say you're not a number You say you are a free man Don't try to abuse me I've heard this before You think you can escape from Preparing the plan That makes me laugh Be seeing you Be seeing you |
Future is now

Tonight, we will go with our children dreams |
A DAY OUT OF TIME The sun shines for nothing On the almost desert city Everyone is swimming In one's own dreadful sea Pretending not to know It will soon be time to go Back to the common life Back to the common worries It's a day out of time With no hour, no date A day out of time No aim no regrets A day out of time Wandering and playing A day out of time As if there was no end In this day out of time... Take em again to the street fair We'll loose our troubles in the air Listen to the children laugthers Throwing stones in the water We'll make a deal with time And chase him in an endless run In a soap bubble, we will fly Untill it blows out in the sun It's a day out of time With no hour, no date A day out of time No aim no regrets A day out of time Wandering and playing A day out of time As if there was no end In this day out of time... A day out of time Wandering and playing As if there was no end In this day out of time... |
PRECIOUS DAYS
|
|
|
And the wind of the night Is blowing on my face And I wake up today Reassured by your pretty face. And the wind of the night Is blowing on my face And I hope this bad dream Can never be my life again Take care of these precious days Remember, my soul, how sad you were in the past Before these precious days How beautiful are these precious days with you My only way to go away far from these fairy tales Illusions... Take care of these precious days Remember, my soul, how sad you were in the past Before these precious days How beautiful are these precious days with you My only way to go away far from these fairy tales Illusions... |
NEW FLOOD Screen religion shows love and action For gods of violence, you match in silence You all have dreams, the problem it seems, Like everyone dreams the same one Forget the time when you were told It could get better later A New Flood's breaking in your soul I feel it's getting stronger You all have dreams, the problem it seerns, Like everyone dreams the same one Kill the monster and give the power Back to the feefings, the words the meanings |
HILLSIDE MANOR The place is welcoming It may not looklike Seen by a stormy night It's always like this With such ancient houses It's as old as the hill Such a charming place to stay in Two way mirrors, Hillside manor You're waken at night by Sounds in the attic Outside you've seen a light But now daylight is back Have no more fear When everything is clear |
MARINE Silencieuse et divine comme une étrange nuit Alors que le soleil innonde ses rivages, Immobile, la mer étale jusqu'à l'infini, Dans cette valse triste, de multiples visages. Un oiseau semble au loin flotter sous les nuages Dans le sillage blanc des filets d'un vaisseau Le cortège argenté d' un vain pélerinage Croyant trouver refuge au plus profond des flots. Dans le port, un couple s'amuse des embruns Que l'océan, séduit, projette en une vague Faisant ainsi surgir des souvenirs anciens Dans le cerveau confus d' un marin qui divague. |
SANDCASTLE Walking alone by the pale moon I hear the sound from inside What we hope for never comes so soon Wish Time is on our side Turn your face to the spindrift See the waves rolling over the rocks Build your sandcastle in the rain It will stand with a great touch of faith On the way out of the gloom Searching for some clear skies What we hope for never comes so soon Somewhere the view is wide |
JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN Johnny's alone in his mind As spring's colours let him cold, Remembers the day When Mary came to him and said : "It's for ever..." Now Johnny can't understand Why Mary will never touch his hand ... Why?Why? Johnny's alone in his mind Feels autumn's here cos of signs Thinking of the train He took one morning in the rain Why this train? Johnny's alone in his mind Knows that winter isn't far Waiting in silence To make himself heard by the nurse "I want to die..." |

THE JOKER So fortune teller, you shady bard You read my future in your evil cards My dreams are disturbed by Kings and Queens Armies of figures follow it seems Staring at me when I sleep at night The frightening face of the Joker He is the one you are laughing at He who laughs last laughs longer The Jack of Clubs and the Ace of Hearts Having a srnoke and playing with darts Their minds are drifting so they get lost In a Labyrinth of Spades and Diamonds |

TALES OF THE WIND Open your ears to Nature The words are said to have a sense The river's song from the water A spirit's lament telling the Misfortune of the lonely Wanderer who drowned there Far in the moor lives a friar As wizard as he's christian He lights a flame with his finger Reads in the planet and knows that Tales of the Wind can be Heard in the lost lands Inside the woods lives a creature A charming mermaid by the fountain Her eyes are blue like the waters Her look is fatal for the mortal Who comes to pass by the Pool where she's swimming Tales of the Wind, they will never be blown away. |
TURQUOISE FIELDS Ficke pendulum Teardrops in tea Piggies bang the big drum Swimming in the green sea We don't wear no weapons or shields Wandering lost in the turquoise fields Little baby cries For poisonhoney Time to give a sligth smile And then fade away |
L'HEURE D'HIVER Un vieux soleil pâle Derrière un voile De brumes et de fils Qu'un courant traverse Qu'un vent disperse Par dessus les villes L'aurore s'égare Un peu plus tard Le jour se terre C'est l'heure d'hiver Bientôt il atteint Le méridien Sa faible chaleur Distille à travers le givre et le verre Des couleurs |
Between love and hate
|
Howard Carter s'endort |
RUNNING TO THE SUN Leaving the rush of crowded streets To feel a virgin earth beneath your feet The shaft of sunligth that shines on you It makes you look like something new You came across the lands and sees You think you know what "open space" means Now you're under that southern lattitude It seems like you vision shall be reviewed Playing with fire, you know your wings will burn Ignoring the danger, you're still running to the sun A careless journey to the point of no return Head over heels, you're running to the sun |
GOD OF INDIFFERENCE Can you see this woman on the ground Sharing a lovely smile with a bottle of wine Living such a mess, such a life of distress That you feel you can't do anything for her soul God of indifference Can you hear the screaming trees we cut the crying beasts we kill for the pleasure of a shot And the call of a boy before teh jnot is tied I will never really understand, understand God of indifference Can you feel the growing emptiness In teh heart of this loveless girl, Knowing now she's close to death Only for a single night, a few moments of good times Do we ever have to swim between suffering and spleen God of indifference |
ELECTRIC JIVE "Wasted youth" as they say It's too late to reprehend I don't want to follow that way These years are here to be spent This narrow education Didn't succeed anyway An inculcated vocation Never incites to obey I could wear a suit and tie Maybe live a sheltered life But instead I waste my time In the electric jive Playing bright and noisy A distorted pantomine When the days get cold and rainy Haven't got a spare dime Though you can't stand to see me Sleeping all day like a log It sounds really better to me Than working like a dog I could wear a suit and tie Maybe live a sheltered life But l'd rather spend my time in the electric jive |
THE GARDEN WALL Spring's prefume in the air A little time to spare First days of heat On this desert street No more showers feed The leaves that softly shakes Dandelion seeds You blow away like snowflakes The sunshine in my eyes An image in the sky I walk down to the garden wall In dream from time to time Holding on tight so I don't fall As I climb to see behind Under heavy weather Bodies enlaced in sweat Rising temperature Outside the day is set To get dressed in colour Will I ever tell How this magic flavour Once had me under its spell |
OVERPROSE L'overprose s'épanche Les mots ont du mal à passer (Ces) sons qui me dérangent Phonèmes à placer L'aphone aimerait tant parler (Her)métique malade Quand vers mes tics de pensée Je ne vois dans l'aubade Que spectre écervelés Autres "singer" français et... Chanteurs de charme aux vulgaires états d'âme Fidèles pantins de l'industrie des larmes Je n'entends rien qui m'inspire en ces temps Que chansons d'amour pour l'amour de l'argent L'overprose (s') fait la Manche "Today", la pierre d'angle aux saxons Des filles qui se déhanchent Peu de compréhension Dans cette stupide floraison (On) jette la pierre aux anges Vieux françois qui de malfaçons En rimes faciles et blanches Vous berçaient d'illusions Love égale amour, dans le fond J'aurais aimé t'écrire quelques ballades A l'heure où Jeanne s'éteint dans les flammes Je ne vois rien qui me sauve à présent De l'overprose, j'en crève mais cependant... |
LOVE IS A LIE I don't need your emotions i just want to kill the time Solar days are gone with my passions And I come back to the dark Love is for liars, love is for liars, love is for liars Love is a lie Do you remember, oh pretty girl How sentimental your smile was Now this time has gone And my spleen is like an ocean Where tears are heavy and falling Now I love death and I hate you In a misterious dream Where my soul in despair Is laughing all the time |
CITY LIGHTS I won't stand this place any longer Poisoned air and soiled water Falling down from teh sky Which is nothing but a cover of lead Too many people rushing in subways Too many lost ones sleeping in corridors Ths speaker's voice gives its orders I don't wanna take that train Give me some air, I just wanna breathe I need to go where the rain is clean Away from the city ligths Busy workers in their shinny cars New building grow higher and higher Kids are bored unless smiley faces Nothing to do but dance on the trash of the dying city |
BERLIN (Stéphane MARCHI) Le soir tombe sur la ville Taffetas confus d'odeurs sonores Artères, enluminures et ors Moribondes bacchanales Berlin, weiss du was ich weiss Berlin, von der Mauerstrasse Ville jumelle aux lèvres chair Embrassées sur des miroirs sans tain Elle est de ses deux mères Blafarde et sombre, l'exhumée catin Charismatique soumise Piédestale fou de la décadence Laissez-moi rêver sous sa bruine revivre à Prenzlauer Bergen Strasse |
THE FALL (Olivier LEYMARIE) I was only twenty years old Answering to an uncertain call I left my home again One ticket, a brand new train It was the price I had to pay For feeling another pain Washed by the rain Nothing to say An empty room, an idle boy Who used to stand against the wall Until the morning comes Why is this place so cold? I met the others among the crowd Sharing more than a taste of sound Don't let it be washed by the rain Washed by the rain Is it always the same? I was only twenty years old Answering to an uncertain call Will I stop to fall? |

RAILWAYS AND ROADS Parallels run to your horizon Something depends on these two lines of iron Something breaks as you sit behind the window Will it make you reach a new low Often come to dream about railways and roads Hope it will soon bring you back to me Back to me How I sometimes hate all these railways and roads If it could just bring you back to me Back to me A new dawn takes me to the station In the crowd of perpetual motion Time to move to the city by the sea Western winds are calling for me Often come to dream about railways and roads Hope it will soon bring you back to me Back to me How I sometimes hate all these railways and roads Hope it will soon bring you back to me Back to me How I sometimes hate all these railways and roads If it could just bring you back to me Back to me Back to me Back to me |

RUBBER HEARTS Fluorescent message Painted on the bedroom wall Words left on a front page Should they just erase it all? What they need's a rubber To clean away what's on their minds Knows he's not a stranger Must be something they can find It makes no sound but i can hear it Takes such a while but i can wait There is no light but i can see it Tired of being absent They've been taking different ways Their forgotten presents Left along the shiny days Time has done a good job For the lovers in disguise No more reason to sob Life waits with a new surprise It makes no sound butI can hear it Takes such a while but I can wait There is no light but i can see you little sister Little sister We have rubber hearts Rubber hearts Fluorescet message Painted on the bedroom wall Words left on a front page Should they just erase it all? What they need's a rubber To clean away what's on their minds Knows he's not a stranger Must be something they can find It makes no sound but I can hear it Takes such a while but I can wait There is no light but I can see you little sister Little sister We have rubber hearts Rubber hearts |
IN THE HEAT |
RUMOURS The phone lies on the floor I've just hung up and the story's over As I lie down I wonder If things will ever be the same A faint light shines through the shutters And dust glitters in the haze I close my eyes and I remember How lonely you seemed to be in those days Can you trust anyone When suspicion is all around your mind Spreading inside I can feel it in your mind Thoughts can be worse than words When they're ruled by doubts Can you trust anyone When suspicion is all around your mind Some day you may understand There's nothing worse than treacheries Commited by the ones you like Fueled by gossips and believed lies Rumours are the disease of credulous minds |
PRAY FOR THE GREAT DAY All my love Awaiting the nice and great day When like yellow birds we will fly Peace in the gloves Reflexion replaces reflex no frighten faces anvway I will see you Falling down when you're left on the storm All your love Believe in the words I could say We will shine as stars in the sky Oh my lord I want to scream it's ok We will find the key one day There is a taste for life On your smile There is a taste for life I can see the way I can see the way There is a taste for life On your mind There is a taste for life I can see the way we will find a new way of life All my love Try to see the landscape around One day as flowers we will smile Peace and love No more kings and queens on earth No more this kind of song I listen to the hate in your heart That says in this way you can't start All your love Understand why, often babies Have tears in their eyes why they cry Oh my lord I want to scream it's ok We will find the key one day There is a taste for life On your smile There is a taste for life I can see the way I can see the way There is a taste for life On your mind There is a taste for life I can see the way We will find a new way of life Pray for the great day Pray for the great day Pray for the great day There is a taste for life There is a taste for life There is a taste for life There is a taste for life There is a taste for life There is a taste for life |
HEARTS BURN Right under my eyes Yours lead to paradise As they're close to the tears From inside a flame appears Caught in your fire dance That leads you to a trance Listen drums are beating Thanks to the demon who pulls your strings Closer to heaven One step from six to seven I bend down on my knee Receive the refugee Hand to hand fight Like the devil in harry white The priest is losing faith Can't be indifferent to such a wraith Now together know that soon We'll have to be ripped apart Of course we know about long distance Joined together then ripped apart That's what it's all about Again you return Still hearts burn Nights under white skies You keep me paralized In the wind your hair flies Sometimes caught in the ice Burn up the romance You won't be given a second chance Your toys are burning Now it's the puppet who pulls the strings Joined together then ripped apart That's what it's all about Again you return Still hearts burn Closer to heaven One step from six to seven I bend down on my knee Receive the refugee Hand to hand fight Like the devil in harry white The priest is losing faith Can't be indifferent to such a wraith Now together know that soon We'll have to be ripped apart Of course we know about long distance Joined together then ripped apart That's what it's all about Again you return Still hearts burn |
