She knits a brand new scarf for Leo
Saying: Protect yourself from the cold
Take care, son ! It's our promise
'Cause wherever you go, I'll never know
Don't take me for a fool
You always seems to be so calm and self-absorbed
A bird inside a whiskey bar, is that what you are ?
Are you having fun ?
Those who tried to change your heart, they never return
She knits a brand new scarf for Leo,
Crying because of her new Romeo
He's getting old, absurd !
Look at those minds on the run
We would follow if we could
They crash inside a tuna box,
It's such a waste
Forget about those psychopaths
Remember the taste of this blue sugar
If you can read between the lines,
You'll see who you are

I hope one day you'll feel
Just like I felt
When you threw this full glass of milk
At my face
You were not sober
This night of October
Silly motherfucker
You were not sober
Adventure seeker on an empty street
You were talking in quotes,
But this one's easy
Dressed like Freddie while ordering whiskey
You were not sober
This night of October
Silly motherfucker
You were not sober

Part-Time Idiot
02:46
|

First, take a look at his mouth
And what's inside
The smoke of his cigarette mixed with all the wine
And if he seems familiar, can't you see
How accurate his words can be ?
You will never fall in love
You will always fall
I know that it's hard to believe
Call it a lie
A prediction given to Earth
Behind a smile
And if he seems familiar, can't you see
How accurate his words can be ?
You will never fall in love
You will always fall
May his thoughts be incorrect
Not a single tear to shed
The knife remains in you hand
Will you give it to a part-time idiot ?

J'ai décidé de ne plus jamais t'aimer
Sans aucun remords, sans tort
Laisser ce certain dégoût survenir en nous
Voir les souvenirs pourrir, le pire me fait frémir
Je suis venue te dire que je t'oublierai
Regarde à la surface, rien n'est remonté
Conjuguer ton nom, ton visage au passé
Parfois j'hésite à te nuire, à néant te réduire
Te fuir, à néant te réduire
À défaut d'être libre, je suis libéré.e
De ta présence crasse, ton air emprunté
J'ai beau réfléchir, il n'y a plus rien à faire
Je t'aime mais tu m'indiffères, sans peur et sans colère
Je t'aime mais tu m'indiffères
Il en est ainsi.

Quoi
02:45
|
|||
|
N'aie pas peur
Les couleurs
Ne vont s'effacer
Dans la nuit
Sur ta chair
Teintée de bleu
Danse une ombre
Pas un bruit
S'élance immense
Ce je-ne-sais-quoi
C'est l'insolence
Qui guide mes pas

Rumour
02:58
|

Gazing at the Galaxy
An old-fashioned melody
This brand new you
The same old me
Of another century
We're musing aloud
But honestly
You can run away from me
The past's locked out of my front door
And truth's my only neighbor
We're grazing in this eyesore
I danced you to the corridor
A rumour, saying: Lovers we were
You can run away from me
Will you find your way home ?
You'll find your way home

Marathon
03:16

I head home after one more night at Judy's
The flowers that you gave me, they do smell like pee
At a restaurant on repeat: Crime of the Century
I get bored listening to those silly melodies
How could I know, where I should go ?
As above, so below
You think you really need me
But darling, can't you see ?
Your heart, it is a venue with no capacity
Last night you were a whale,
I lived inside your belly
Was it because of the drugs I took at Judy's ?
How could I know, where I should go ?
As above, so below
Everywhere in my memories
Your face and body
I do not even regret, this last cigarette
How could I know, where I should go ?
As above, so below
Maybe I should just run

Palmistry
02:46
|
|||
|
Although, you did all you can to explain
That nights aren't always the same
I stood still but now I'm sure,
That you're emotionally immature
— Is it because of the clothes you wear ?
I'd say no
— Is it the way you cut your hair ?
Just let go
— Is it those electric boots ?
I don't know
— Or because of this mohair suit ?
If you say so
Come here, let me see your dirty hands
Palmistry – you don't understand
But there is this photo of you
Sometimes I can see through
That something's about to bloom,
It's true
In confidence with countless distinct characters,
Created by Fear itself
— Mother of all Evil,
Calm down, Joe
— I wonder how they evolve
I don't know
— Can they turn my sins into Gold ?
I guess not
— I lied about that centerfold
Shut the fuck up !
Although, you did all you can to explain
That night's aren't always the same
But there is this photo of you
Sometimes I can see through
That something's about to bloom,
It's true

Berries
03:09
|

Tumbling down the coastal path,
We were picking berries on our way
Is it were it all stared to slowly, quietly unravel ?
We could have been trapped in my little collection of whys
But it became hard to go any further,
With the certainty that it could only harm you
All those berries spread on the road
Watch out, babe! This feeling gets cold
As time goes by love always crumbles
Hey! Will you echo my sentiment ?
There's still a few berries on the ground
I see them falling without a sound
From your hand drips a bleak molasses
With a heavy scent
Which can be smelled from miles

Wrong/Gone

Heart-shaped leaves and basil
Are growing in the yard
I fake to be mesmerized
But no-one is fooled
There is a...
Something—a...
Wrong
Surrounded by those whinings,
Enough is too much
Why can't we live together ?
This problem I can't solve
There is a...
Something—a...
Wrong
I'm sorry you waited in vain,
For magic to happen
Autumn came so early this year,
All things pass, fade and wither
There is a...
Something—a...
Wrong
Could we shed a light
On this very first night,
When you placed your head on my shoulder ?
It's funny how far
And distant we're now
From this feeling called desire
There is a...
Something—a...
Wrong

Little Thumb

You've been saying:
I ain't coming back here but don't complain
You'll find your way home
Don't ask don't tell,
Remain silent with your eyes open
I won't leave you alone
Downtown is this place we know
I'll see you there sometimes
Little Thumb doesn't know where to go
A plane crash in the mind
The other kids,
They seem so stupid and when I say your name
They look up to the sun
And I fear the day when you'll become a stranger
Anyway, I'll remember your voice
