PAST AND FUTURE


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...


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!


EMPTY HOUSE

Lost in the misty suburbs of some northern city
Sea-bide twist in style
A weathercup in the roof
Ivory creeping on the wall
Heavily closed doors and shutters
reveal that no-one leaves there

And the rain falls
On the crumbling roof
And the wind blows
And if you look carefully,
In the mirror you will see
Dressed like in the past
The lady with the mask

I remembered the old man
And the story he told me
About the tragic ending of a young lady
During the fancy dressball
Everyone had a mask
A spirit according to this
Was still haunting the house

And the dust falls
In the silent rooms
And the wind blows
On the empty house
The empty house
On the empty house
The empty house
The empty house

And if you look carefully,
In the mirror you will see
Dressed like in the past
The lady with the mask

The empty house (x3)
In the empty house


OLD AGE


One more candle today
It makes eigthy now
They came for your birthday
In the little grey town, in the narrow street
Where your house stands

There you live alone
Since he has gone
You ask your children
To come more often
"Why not on Sunday?"
"Maybe" they say

Memories seem to be dreams
When you're in the old age

The cat sleeps on the pillow
At least, he won't leave you
The clock strikes
As to remind you
That someday you will go
And meet again your aunt fellows

Memories seem to be dreams
When you're in the old age

You remember the holidays
You used to spend by the sea
And teh salty wind
On your face
Which was young and pretty

Memories seem to be dreams
When you're in the old age

Now, all you've got left
Are photographs and your eyes to cry
Your eyes to cry
Your eyes to cry


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 !



SECONDS


There is a clock up there
Making the countdown
Seconds fall like drops
Over the ground.
There is a clock somewhere
For each one of us
Measuring time that passes
Leaving dust.

How many seconds up the twenty-first century?
How many seconds up the twenty-first century?

We are grains of sand
In a sandglass,
Waiting fo our turn to fall
Into the other part.
Every second that goes
May be the last one,
So the only thing to do
Is run.

How many seconds up the twenty-first century?
How many seconds up the twenty-first century?
How many seconds?
How many seconds up the twenty-first century?

There is a clock up there
Making the countdown
Seconds fall like drops
Over the ground.
There is a clock somewhere
For each one of us
Measuring time that passes
Leaving dust.

How many seconds up the twenty-first century?
How many seconds up the twenty-first century?


ALAN IS WAITING

Sleepless night
For the one who ever waits
He listens to the wind outside
As the red moon slowly sets
He lies awake
Staring at the flush
The reason of his wait
remains unexplained.

Alan is waiting
With a strange feeling
Alan is waiting
Nothing is happening

From his cage
Alan calls for help
Please let me out of here
If ever you can hear
I feel so cold
Like a body in his grave
But I wouldn't say that
If I was really dead.

Sleepless night
For the one who ever waits
He listens to the wind outside
As the red moon slowly sets
He lies awake
Staring at the flush
The reason of his wait
remains unexplained.

Alan is waiting
With a strange feeling
Alan is waiting
Nothing is happening

Midland calling
Central meterium
I heard a voice in the semetery
An I have awake him

Send an ambuance with first-aid equipment
According to the voice, it's an emergency.


COUNTER-CLOCK WORLD


Counter-clock world
Counter-clock world
Counter-clock world

Watch the lights
that lead to this world
Where the cries of the ex-dead
He just hated these desperate calls
He heard them so many times
Inverse change
The course of time has reversed
The clocks now going backwards.
Most recent deads come back to life first
And the others will follow.

Counter-clock world

Like many others
Alan's woken up
For a new life in an insane world.
For the moment,
He's still a no-man
But he'll soon become grown-up.
Alan will wait for his parents' awakening
Cos he soon feels a giant ? coming.
He returns to his mother's womb
To find again original emptiness.

Counter-clock world
Counter-clock world
he's living in a counter-clock world
Counter-clock world
he's living in a counter-clock world


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

Future is now
The future is now
It's so easy to see
Life as a fiction
Future is now
The future is now

Future is now
so easy to see
Life as a fiction
Future is now

 

PRIVATE LIFE


BLUE YEARS


The colour of sorrow is blue
When there comes another season
Some feelings grown inside you
Suddenly end with no reason
You always think it was better before
How can you guess all the things to come?

In the Blue Years...
It was so different, in the Blue Years
The seem so far away, the Blue Years

The taste in your mouth is not sour
As a shadow comes from another life
You stay there watching the hours
Looking for some lost pictures of your life
How can you say it was better before
Without knowing what you are waiting for?

In the Blue Years...
It was so different, in the Blue Years
The seem so far away, the Blue Years


A HANDFUL OF SAND


Pay, take your change
And please don't cry
If you find it small,
Then, do not buy.

Between my fingers so fast
Like a handful of sand
As I can take it at last,
It slips away from my hands.

Things, books, and shoes
Look after what you spend.
Pay you rent
Before it's too late.
Keep something left,
In case of a weary day.
I can say
Times are uncertain...

Between my fingers so fast
Like a handful of sand
As I can take it at last,
It slips away from my hands.

Cheap or expensive
Everything has a price
It's so nice
When you can spend it.
But wash your hands
After touching it,
'Cos as you see
It is just like shit.

Between my fingers so fast
Like a handful of sand
As I can take it at last,
It slips away from my hands.


MY ETERNAL FRIEND


Tonight, we will go with our children dreams,
After having fought against so much injustice
In your native land, my eternal friend,
My children memories...

Every second, i think about those lost years
When we were together,
Only exchanging a painful silence on our lives
When we were together...

And he goes away on this coldest day
This is his way, not mine, mine.
And he goes away on this coldest day
This is his way for a long time...

Maybe a treacherous pride made me so blind,
Erasing slightly more everyday
The saddened face of brotherhood of my hazy mind,
Slightly more everyday

And he goes away on this coldest day
This is his way, not mine, mine.
And he goes away on this coldest day
This is his way for a long time...
For a long time, my eternal friend,
You have to know I'm thinking of you.
Everyday, everyday for a long time
And whatever happens, I will be by your side
I will be by your side.

And he goes away on this coldest day
This is his way, not mine, mine.
And he goes away on this coldest day
This is his way for a long time...
And he goes away on this coldest day
This is his way, not mine, mine.
And he goes away on this coldest day
This is his way for a long time...

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


In a large dark room
I see nowhere girls
Roaming under red ligths
Like every nigth.
In a large dark room
I'm sitting alone
Waiting for the death to come
In the strange darkness
There is a temptress
Dancing through the moonlight
Like every night
In the large dark room
I'm sitting alone
Waiting for the death to come

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...

In a large dark room
I see nowhere girls
Roaming under red ligths
Like every nigth.
In a large dark room
I'm sitting alone
Waiting for the death to come.
And the wild dance shadows
Fallen on the windows
Drawing lovely figures
Looking like far lovers
In the large dark room
I'm sitting alone
Waiting for the death to come.


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...
SOUNDS IN THE ATTIC

NEW FLOOD


Screen religion shows love and action
For gods of violence, you watch 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 feelings, 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..."


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!

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


FICKLENESS

Better days are the property of past
Simple words and things, they become treasures so fast
I'm like the boy looking at his broken toy
Swearing on and on, he will never play again

Maybe one of these days, an angel in the sky
Will tell me why...
Why every ideal thing is here to die


Better days are the property of past
Simple words and things, they become treasures so fast
Just like a ghost, I will vanish in your mind
Am I with you now only for this favourite time?

Maybe one of these days, an angel in the sky
Will tell me why...
Why every person I love is looking for
New and higher days,
A new game to play
One more, without me.


FEAR IN COLOUR


The fair wheel is on the start
Inside your heart
Make sure your eyes are open wide
It's such a ride
Welcome to this side of the gate
Where chains are broken
Expect to meet your animal friends
May doors burst open !

Painted faces betraying strong emotions
Distorted time echoing slow actions
Fear in colour
It goes on spinning round
My heart beats faster
This world is melting down

The turquoise sky is filled with lights
and shinny flies
The rubber houses move in time
Along wavy lines
A crowd of shimmering ladybirds
Crawl in the sand
From far away a voice is heard
Take my hand


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 (et Bonus Tracks)


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


YOU AGAIN

Between love and hate
As a pendulum, my feelings for you,
Again, gently swing
No weapons but lies
Wounding me, you hurt me
Then I feel that I am still alive

i will be with you again
Give me please new reasons to exist
You again
Another war 'till another peace
Away from here



CADAVRES EXQUIS (HOWARD SONG)

Howard Carter s'endort
Les yeux dans l'azur
En rêve, il fouille encore
le sol sépulture

His eyes to the sky, Howard in a dream
His eyes to the sky, Howard in a dream

Put a turquoise beatle
Where once the heart was
It hides away the sins
they could stain your life

Petit trône d'enfant
Lapi-lazuli
Howard glace le sang
Du garde ébloui

Child's throne and turquoise stones
are cluttering the way
Dusty alabasters
were layed there to stay

Put a turquoise beatle
Where once the heart was
It hides away the sins
They could stain your life

His eyes to the sky, Howard in a dream


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?

NICE DRIFT


DANCING ALL THE DAYS

 

THE WORLD IS FLAT


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

AU MILIEU DU CIEL

J'entends la vie s'étendre à minuit
J'attends l'envie de mes sens interdits
Coule lumière sans lui sans elle
A voir la terre me poussent des ailes
Tu ris tout le temps et tu fais semblant
De supporter les étoiles dans le vent
Si seulement se quittaient enfin
La solitude et les lendemains

A minuit ou sous le soleil
C'est pareil au milieu du ciel
A midi aux lunes de miel
C'est pareil au milieu du ciel
C'est pareil au milieu du ciel

Tout simplement défile l'azur
Un crucifix est planté au mur
Vierge est l'ennui dans mon miroir
Une vieille escorte un vieux trottoir

A minuit ou sous le soleil
C'est pareil au milieu du ciel
A midi aux lunes de miel
C'est pareil au milieu du ciel
C'est pareil au milieu du ciel
A minuit ou sous le soleil
C'est pareil au milieu du ciel
Au milieu du ciel


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

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

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

JOURNEY TO IXTLAN

THOUGHTS AND WORDS (Chris Hillman)

One day you came into my mind
And everything looked as though it was all mine
Loveliness to gaze upon
To feel your magic pulling me away

I thought I was on top of it all
Everyone else was so small
Then I knew what you wanted to do
I knew what you wanted to do

Often think of times when all your thoughts and words
Come close to making me lose my mind
Moment now recalling all the time involving minutes
That we spent alone

I thought I was on top of it all
Everyone else was so small
Then I knew what you wanted to do
I knew what you wanted to do

One day you came into my mind
And everything looked as though it was all mine
Loveliness to gaze upon
To feel your magic pulling me away
I thought I was on top of it all
Everyone else was so small
Then I knew what you wanted to do
I knew what you wanted to do
