A L'OMBRE DE NOUS (IN OUR SHADOW) (F. Lai / P. Barouh)

A l'ombre de nous

Restera toujours

Au noms de l'amour

Un gout d'eternite

Au nom de notre amour

Une ombre va rester

Cette ombre de nous

Combien de soleils

Brulant netre ciel

Ont du se concerter

Qu'au nom de ces soleils

Une ombre va rester

Ces soleils...

Ils sont si chauds

Ils sont si forts

Qu'ils nous brulent

Et qu'ils nous devorent

Encore, encore, encore...

Ils ont des noms de pacotille

L'amour, le respect, la folie

C'est la confiance et le courage

C'est le bleu des livres d'images

C'est tout ce que tu attends de moi

C'est tout ce que j'attends do toi

A l'ombre de nous

Ne pourra fleurir

Aux jours a venir

Pien d'autre que beaute

Meme en pensant au pire

Une ombre va rester

Cette ombre de nous

Les mille soleils

D'un amour pareil

N'y pourrant rien changer

Car des premiers soleils

Une ombre va rester

Ces soleils...

Ils sont si chauds

Ils sont si forts

Qu'ils nous brulent

Et qu'ils nous devorent

Encore, encore, encore...

Ils ont des noms qui font sourire

C'est la passion, c'est le delire

C'est la pananche et la tendresse

C'est le bleu de notre jeunesse

C'est tout ce qui, a jamais, vivra...

A l'ombre de nous

 

ATMOSPHERE (Joy Division)

Walk in silence

Don't walk away - in silence

See the danger - always danger

Endless talking - life rebuilding

Don't walk away

Walk in silence

Don't turn away - in silence

Your confusion - my illusion

Worn like a mask of self-hate

Confronts and then dies

Don't walk away

People like you, find it easy

Naked to see - walking on air

Hunting by the rivers, through the streets, every corner

Abandoned too soon

Set down with due care

Don't walk away - in silence

Don't walk away

 

BARELY REAL

Don't you have to speak now?

Not just look and half smile

All I want's to feel

That I'm barely real

I feel like string

I feel like nothing

Who's the silence for now?

Can your heart still hold

Everything...

Untold?

I feel like string

I feel like nothing

 

BROKEN-HEARTED WINE

In spring time

When you haven't got a dime

Yeah, in spring time

And life seems a crime

Come on over

Cry on my shoulder, and drink

Broken-hearted wine

Tastes fine

In the spring time

Broken-hearted wine

Tastes fine

So you finally see her face at last, and the pain will never pass

You thought she was the only girl in the whole wide world for you

You can come on over

Cry on my shoulder, and drink

Broken-hearted wine

Tastes fine

In the spring time

Broken-hearted wine

Tastes fine

So you don't know what to do

There's just one cure for you

In spring time

When there isn't any reason

Or rhyme

To thinkin'

That you'll be mine

So come on over

Cry on my shoulder, and drink

Broken-hearted wine

Tastes fine

In the spring time

Broken-hearted wine

Tastes fine

In the spring time

 

CASTLE

There's a castle in her heart

The walls go up for miles

There's a tower

You can see everything

But she shows you nothing

You can see everything

See up to heaven

And there's a couch

But the TV's somehow wrong

Nothing seems to fit 

Everything that's good is hid

She's the king in Wittgenstein's world

She's the king in Wittgenstein's world

There's a castle

In her heart

Where she keeps everything...

Apart

The walls go up for miles

The walls go up for miles

 

CAVE-IN

Last night I dreamt your face

The skin was falling off

The flesh was turning grey

This is a cave-in

I said I'd stay

Cave-in

Said I'd stay

Last night I had a dream

Your eyes were lit by fire

The way you tried to smile

The way you couldn't smile

This is a cave-in

I said I'd stay

Cave-in

Said I'd stay

These things take so long

So let me help it some

These things take so long

So let me help it some

 

CIGARETTE MACHINE

Dry heave doubt

From a little old dragon's mouth

Split lip and split tongue

Finally, cross-eyed

She stands next to the cigarette machine

This device has got it made, she thinks

It has a cast-iron stomach, but a candle for a heart

Odd the way the very stuff falls out

Hard the way it makes you doubt

This thing leaps up, complains, full of bile

Not even star-crossed, just unlucky

Odd how the very stuff falls out

Hard the way it makes you smile

This things leaps up, complains

Not even star-crossed, just unlucky

 

CRACKED IN TWO [demo]

So, go your own way

Don't forget

That you're only

Cracked in two

What can you do?

Cracked in two

What can you do?

(?) just the only way to see

Things end the hard way

What can you do?

What can you do?

What can you do?

Cracked in two

So, go your own way

But don't forget

That you're only

Cracked in two

What can you do?

Cracked in two

What can you do?

 

D

D for effort

D for intent

D because you pay the rent

D for love

D for insight

D because you're heaven set

I want you to need me - not to feed me

I want you to need me - not to feed me

D for dishes

F for floors

Can't make the grade anymore

D for love

D for intent

D because you pay the rent

You kick my head

Lying on your ten - your ten foot bed

You say you're all alone, that's just 'cause, you don't want anybody home

See a smile, make it sad

Take it all so bad.

 

GRAVEL BED

John thinks I've been sad enough

But I just can't agree

It's not so sad for me

Things I thought might come true

They never do

They never do

Once stood on a shore so grand

Slept in a gravely bed

In a kingdom so pure

In a kingdom so pure

 

HARD TO FIND

A good friend is hard to find

But you'll have one if you open your eyes

A good friend is hard to find

I found you

Will you be mine?

And time will show

Time will show

A good friend is hard to find

But you'll have one if you open your eyes

A good friend is hard to find

I found you

Will you be mine?

And time will show

Time will show

And time will show

Time will SHOW

But not me

 

 

IDES

Silver clouds

Fill my mind

Can't watch the trees

Can't go outside

Don't go outside

Something's got in

Into my eye

A warning sign

I don't want

To know why

A warning sign

 

JR

Threw my bike off the road

And lie in the grass

The hot winds blow

Promises I'll never know

Dumb at twelve

With a delinquent mind

The sky turned yellow-blue

Like a week-old bruise

These days things loom above me

My head is empty

My tongue and lips

Are swollen

 

KITCHEN LIGHT / RUMBLEFISH

First a kiss, then a fall

Some pale shade takes it all

Tangled up in a knot

One foot free, one foot caught

Light the stove with a match

I just wait, I just think

I'm so sad, I can't stand

I can't stand, I can't stand

 

LOSS LEADER

Loss leader, losing sight of the shore

Can't take this loss loop anymore, anymore

Water - running down

Water - running down

Now things taste kind of bitter

Two muddy shoes, far from home, far from home

Water - running down

Water - running down - running down

And as I walk back

I feel the moon against my neck

 

 

MEDIAN

Thinking 'bout the New Year

All the dirt it'll attract

Kicked apart the last one

Glad to see it done

I want days so perfect

Perfect in ways I've never seen

Wearing leaden frames

Grim and pure, like me

Counting up your blessings

Think of all the things you lack

Counting down to zero, zero

And you'll never get it back

A lot of heads need breaking

But I know that thought is wrong

Things might turn against me

Then again, I'd do the same

One foot on the platform

One foot on the train

 

NEW YEAR'S (Lexi Mitchell/Sooyoung Park)

Bad to feel the way I am

Today is another day, you do what you can

I feel so sad, so bad today

That all our friends have gone away

Here in my castle, lines crease me face

Take them away, take them far away

I feel so sad, so bad today

That all our friends have gone away

 

OLD THINGS

Walk, just walk away

And throw old things away

Things don't last too long

But when they do

They last too long

Walk, just walk away

And throw old things away

I, I thought I tried

But what, what does that mean?

Walk, just walk away

And throw old things away

Nothing sticks to you

Not even what you want to

 

PEA

When I see the sun

I hope it shines on me

And gives me everything...well, almost

Some people seem

To be just small hard peas

Sometimes I think it's me

I try so hard for bruises on your back - just to get you back

I try so hard for bruises on your back, tiny and mean

Just to get you back

Just to get you back

Just to get you back

Just to get you back

When I see the sun

I hope it shines on me

And gives me everything

To be one mile high

Then I would kill you all

What I gave to you, just meant nothing

When I see the sun

I hope it shines on me

And gives me everything

When I see the sun

I hope it shines on me

And gives me everything...well, almost

 

PICKUP SONG

Don't remember your kiss

Can't remember what I miss

Thought you were blind, I held your hand

Guess I still don't understand

Wish I'd never seen your face

 

PROMISE OF LOVE (MX-80 Sound)

Let me be the angel

Let me be the prettiest girl

I'll stand between you

And the rest of the world

Let me be your sun

Let me be your star

You could never disappoint me, because

Your who you are

If I could be the angel

If I could be the prettiest girl

Every tear you've ever cried

Would all be turned to pearls

I I could be your sun

If I could be your star

You'd be safe and free from harm

No matter where you are

You only make me proud

As if you were my son

And the bells

They ring for you

 

REALIZE

On a quiet afternoon

Staring out of your room

Feeling blue

What am I gonna do?

Look at me, just with your eyes

Try to realize

Look at me, just with your eyes

Try to realize

Coffee's there

On the floor

From the night before

Shades are drawn

Against the sun

Where is everyone?

Look at me, just with your eyes

Try to realize

Look at me, just with your eyes

Try to realize

 

SEA

A white ship sails on a black sea

Takes my love from me

And it takes so long

But then I understand

I understand

Put your hand in my good hand

Promise not to leave this dry and barren land

And it takes so long

But then I understand

I understand

 

SECOND CHANCE

I miss your smile - it's been a while

It's been a while

First chance is rare - seconds don't ever dare

Seconds don't ever dare

I miss your smile - it's been a while

It's been a while

 

SMOKING ROOM

Spent afternoons

In the smoking room

The things that I said then

Still make me burn with shame

The world is frozen now

It glitters, sparkles, and shines

 

SOMETHING NEW

Something new

Can't complain what you do

Leaves fall like trees

Told you - it wasn't me

Tell it to your friends

Say, "This is the end."

I see your friends

They know it's the end

Don't take long

For bright things to go wrong

But just when

All depends

Tell it to your friends

Say, "This is the end."

I see your friends

Guess this is the end

 

SURE LOOKS THAT WAY (Gerry Hannah)

"This is a cover of a song by Gerry Hannah, previously of the Vancouver, B.C. band the Subhumans. "Sure Looks That Way" is from a cassette of his called 'Songs from the Underground', recorded while he was in prison, I think around 1985."

 

3 ANGELS

Three angels - holes in their socks

Three angels - holes in their socks

I'll take the one on the right

You take the one on the left

One in the middle

One to forget

Take a walk - 'round the block

Take a walk - 'round the block

Three angels - holes in their socks

Two to play

One to sing

They know everything

Take a walk - 'round the block

Take a walk - 'round the block

 

TOM

My words have broken throats

Too ashamed to speak

Afflicted by disease

They are so weak

I'll throw sand in your eye

You need a reason to cry

I'll throw sand in your eye

I need a reason to smile

I went to school to learn

But it didn't work

How do you learn to try

Why can't I?

I'll throw sand in your eye

You need a reason to cry

I'll throw sand in your eye

I need a reason to smile

 

VACANCY

Dream in black and white

Model cities, shooting up, in the sky

Did they go to sleep, just to die, just to drown, in the air?

Look under the bed

There's no ghosts, that I can see

Tires burning

Can't go back there

Can't go forward

What does the word vacany mean, when you don't expect anything?

Don't even try to justify, there's no way to justify

 

WASHED UP

Slowly build

A pile a bones

Once sucked down

Now come ashore

Things

keep washing up

Keep washing

Keep washing up

In the sky

Spotlights search

The ghosts of birds

The ghosts of things gone by

How can we live?

Forget but not forgive?

 

WIRD

The way is dark

And I am tired and small

Under my skin

Sing lonely wires

Who built

Who built this machine?

This mechanism

This misery

I wanna walk

But I have to crawl

It's colder now

And I have lost my way
