Monday Land

I once tried to stand up against your man
I told him some things he would understand
You felt like a prawn when he asked for your hand
Don't send me your greetings from Monday Land
Oh, dear ! What's this feeling ?
This state that you've been in ?
At night, dreams are filled with fearful misgivings
No more calls to get you in the mood
Your silence is whispering: I'm bedazzled
How can you run away from tomorrow ?
I once tried to stand up against your sorrow.

Did you see me roaming behind your park,
Like an ice cube under a jealous sun ?
You call it fun, OK
As a young boy I stood away from doubt
But then I met you, you turned my lungs inside out
A warning sign
But I'm grown up, you can see me around
Just tell me where's the boy with the golden smile
The first time you dived your sex into mine
I told you where it hurts and there you punched
So hard
I'm looking for my man, I try to understand
How things went down

Inner Place

I'm gonna find a place where you'll never be
Friends to drink in bars that you'll never see
I'm gonna draw each and every line
Of this strange city
Erase it from all the maps
This place you'll never be

Masculine

Julian shaved his eyebrows
They were useless, he laughed
Unclothed in the bathroom, doors open
Waiting for the silence to break
He's a followed intuition
Or just an icon on the sidewalk
Answer the question :
Is the truth in everyone ?
You'll dive in a flood of anger
Were his father's last words
Thinking about it in April, he said :
He was thoughtless after all
He's a sudden illusion
Your eyes will blink but they still trust
Mother Nature's abortion
Is the truth in everyone ?
Everyone waits for the others to fall
'Cause difference is the thing we're afraid of

A glass of sparkling water
You got out of the shower
We sat down on the balcony
Have you read this novel where Billy Joel says :
Nevermind the honesty
Oh, he might be wrong
But if not
It could be a ideal for living
To shut our fingers in every door
Or just monday evening
On a different floor
An education made of red wine
Forbids the hipocrisy
Where 2 were not enough to ensure
The perfect ecstasy
Oh, we might be wrong
But if not

I've got my chemicals running
Through my mind
I've got this über-cool feeling
That I could die
No, 'cause you know that it's true
When I fade into you
As you open your mouth
You're now underground
What will you say
To those who stay ?
I've got my chemicals crawling
Through my mind
I've got this über-cool feeling
That I could die
Oh no, 'cause you know that it's true
When I fade into you
As you open your mouth,
You're now underground
What will you say
To those who stay ?

Vincent

Vincent, I've been waiting for you so long
To know that your arms are a place I could call home
I tried not to let your place remain vacant
No one around to grant me a single dance
In my younger days, Sir, where were you ?
Vincent, it was just a little early
You tried a bit but you were just not ready
In my younger days I may have been alone
Searching for your hand waving : Hello, son.

Woe Betide You
02:48
|
|||
|
A mountain in your mind
Which no one wants to climb
The silence coming near
Is that your primal fear ?
It ain't no hassle
Don't want any trouble
But woe betide you and your sons
If you betray what you've begun
A storm beneath your skull
You remain pitiful
And stoned above the stones
You'll fill 'em with your bones
It ain't no hassle
Don't want any trouble
But woe betide you, rest assured
The wind's gonna blow you away
If you betray what you've begun

My Gardener
02:27

|
You've been caught masturbating
On another Alec Baldwin
You'd better flush this insane fever
No talk no vain conversation
Why are you always pissing me off ?
See my youth, just dead flowers
It's only your fault
Handsome sin in a convent
Begging for a last blowjob
A favor that none could afford
Oh, my Adonis ! said the parrot

Ur Boat
03:20
|

|
If being out of purpose
Is the meaning of life
I'll drag out all my wishes
That I kept out of sight
And I'll let my self float
I'll sail to your boat
Among the shores I saw your mouth
As a promised land
And while I dive I feel your voice
All around my hands
And I'll let my self float
I'll sail to your boat
If your mouth is an island
Then I'll plan my escape

And then the bartender
Told me to go home
That's what I did,
That's what I did
I asked for another glass of Gin
For the loneliness to run away
From me
You were the kind of man
I could easily deal without
I was so proud of myself
Beyond anyone around
How could I've spent those years
So happy and so blind
My joy was my ignorance
Now, will you still be kind to me ?
I wish you could talk
I wish you could talk to me
Will you walk me home ?
You know you can keep the key
And then the bartender
Told me to go home
That's what I did,
That's what I did...

Nowhere Slow

Switch the words, there's a brand new meaning
The first one was pretty boring, for real
I can hardly face my sorrow, as you can hardly admit
That you need some help
Sometimes I wished you were not here
Sometimes I wished that you were dead
How can you let things rot as if you have lost your nose ?
Not half-bad !
Joe, wake up we're going nowhere slow
Just go home, I'm off the row
It's only my opinion but I think we did it all wrong
I'm off the row
There' s another lie to swallow
A whole garden where the children play
Boy, you were too fast to follow
A young raven on a sunny day
Sometimes I wished you were not here
Sometimes I wished that you were dead
How can you let things rot as if you have lost your nose ?
Not half-bad !
Joe, wake up we're going nowhere slow
Just go home, I'm off the row
It's only my opinion but I think we did it all wrong
I'm off the row
