Come On, Stranger

Hitting the streets, shouting at the night
Spitting fury homeless
A constant veering wind
I know you desire
I know you aspire to midnight lullabies
Come on, stranger. A song for you to learn and sing.
Come on, stranger. A song for you to learn and sing.
Shut up, turn down the volume of despair
forever annoyed, so much distress in an armchair
laughing out loud, you can't even be bothered
an affliction of these times
Come on, stranger. A song for you to learn and sing.
Come on, stranger. A song for you to learn and sing.
You don't have to hit rock bottom (x4)
Come on, stranger. A song for you to learn and sing.
Come on, stranger. A song for you to learn and sing…

Stained Heart

Woke up smelling of déjà vu
I stare at traffic from the avenue
Pastel buildings, the soft smell accompanying you
My eyes open wide for the gallery
A pulse on fraught figurines
Going cheap tonight
Before they all leave a stain on my heart,
Before they all leave.
Monday morning, why's all the playing stopped?
Freaking out, little bastards with the collars popped
I linger in style, accumulate black bile.
Once again, I wanted to change the story
Stuck in the men's room
Time to escape
Before they all leave a stain on my heart,
Before they all leave.
Your racing heart wants to have a ball, my gypsy moves, the blood approves.

She hates the diplomacy,
hardly copes with the philosophy
A recluse hero, the recluse zero
Stay away if you no longer care,
there is no coming back for this bitter boy.
She won't fall in love me again (X4)
Obsessed with the lipstick
High heels for tango
As she walks away from the towers,
she'll cry for innocence.
Make a scene in the past tense, make a scene
Pale green eyes and hysteria, pale green eyes.
She won't fall in love me again (X8)
It's decided then
We're unlearning the game, this tragic game
She wants me naked & wild, naked & wild.
Mid-afternoon,
In the palm of my hand,
I'll ejaculate: an unrestrained ahhh..., an unrestrained ahhh..., an unrestrained ahhh...

Nova Police
The frequency of junk
Nova Police
Marbles streets and copper domes
Nova Police
Ghost riots along the canal
Nova Police
Hanging vine and deflated skin
Recording jack-off
Vaudeville voices
The mirrors of time, God, the mirrors of time
The self-made coffins
The mirrors of time, God, the mirrors of time
Nova Police
Sleep 5 nights in the tardis
Nova Police
Solitude through the cables
Nova Police
Modern man has lost the options
Nova Police
How we love the tired gimmicks
Recording jack-off
Vaudeville voices
The mirrors of time, God, the mirrors of time
The self-made coffins
The mirrors of time, God, the mirrors of time

He settled for fake commodity
Yes, the charming little fucker resigned
Still moved by nostalgia, fragments and mix tapes
Rosy-painted times of hope
Ema's waiting home for me (x6)
The dreamer with dirty cheeks reflects on silent goodbyes on grey streets
Shy thoughts in daylight, the pale gates of sunrise
Brooding day upon the sea
Ema's waiting home for me (x6)
6 years of immaturity, how many ways a man can crack?
6 years of insecurity, how many ways a man can crack?
6 years of insanity, how many ways a man can crack?
6 years of stupidity, how many ways a man can crack?

Printemps sur Paris comme une goutte d'eau sur une fleur
Elle choisit ses cobayes sans la moindre malice
Lui prendra la fuite irrévocablement, trainant son arsenal de blessures fanées
Bye-bye sanglots et attendrissements de jadis
Une nouvelle rencontre carrefour désolation
Dora se précipite sur le dancefloor
Avec cet air rageur et ravi
Je ne serai jamais à toi mais je peux me rendre disponible
Le galot soudain des étoiles
Deux vies barrées par les nuits, deux vies barrées par l'envie
Au pays bleu, son âme en vain se réfugie
Elle n'a jamais pu perdre la nostalgie
Tournoie, tournoie, le front nimbé de feu
Hâtons-nous de jouir, point de port, point de rive.
Dora se précipite sur le dancefloor
Avec cet air rageur et ravi
Je ne serai jamais à toi mais je peux me rendre disponible
On est des monstres de mélancolie, sous l'ivresse, le spleen.

My Uncanny Love

This is me, saying goodbye cruel world, living, loving, captivated by you.
Don't ever change, you lovely narcissist you, bear with me, I'll bear with you, bear with me...
My uncanny love, tiptoes and flutters through.
Dubious meditations are totally relevant at the bar.
It just amazes me how much we could talk.
Half way through the chase, nothing's changed: just drinks & dreams, yes drinks & dreams.
My uncanny love, tiptoes and flutters through.
Tenderness is messing me up.
Is it the tinned food or the break-up?
I just could never afford the swinging, the playboy lifestyle, I think I'll just pretend.
My uncanny love, tiptoes and flutters through.

I guess you could say
I'm a delicate man
I gave my heart to fried calamari & crap TV
It's not the apathy in me
It's not the clumsiness in me
My rusty self unavailable, irreclaimable on this Spanish beach
Eloquence & style won't save me in this town
Sea, sun for free
Sex? Well, the tanned brunettes won't lay an eye on me
It's not the apathy in me
It's not the clumsiness in me
My rusty self unavailable, irreclaimable on this Spanish beach.

Blossoming Apathy

So you regain consciousness near the fireplace,
obtain your truth from gin & lies
you're far too old to start to dream
when mediocrity is your mother-tongue, honestly...
This blossoming apathy wraps you up from head to toe,
Dressed up as the sad clown commencing the show
A life of sloppy couches, basically you ain't got a clue.
Kratom, salvia, magic mushroom, European youth comes alive.
You met a Brazilian girl, you started to live
Refuge in false kisses, you're unable to give
Anchored in misery, it's all over the floor.
This blossoming apathy wraps you up from head to toe,
Dressed up as the sad clown commencing the show
A life of sloppy couches, basically you ain't got a clue.
Kratom, salvia, magic mushroom, European youth comes alive.

The Man That Exploded

I wouldn't know where to begin
Forgotten tears during the commercial break
The past seemed so alive
A troubled mind at a troubled time
One night, an endless night
Dressed for excess, I was, dressed for excess
Visions blurred on purpose? Well, I suppose sir...
Or was I exploring unmapped portions of my brain
Your guess is as good as mine
A respectful nod to all you lugubrious souls
We want to smoke, we want to drift
Just looking back, just looking back
We want to smoke, we want to drift
Just looking back, just looking back
Our pale adolescent love, our pale adolescent life.
This utter amateurism and a reckless night.
So you wanna get dirty, lick the shit from the streets and stay in it.
Sway to this drink that just might wipe me away
Outside my window, the world might revolve but when the heart has sunk...
My angel ways turn into wicked ways.
I had to let go, I had to explode.
We want to smoke, we want to drift
Just looking back, just looking back
We want to sleep, we want to sneak out
Just looking back, just looking back
Our pale adolescent love, our pale adolescent life.
Je n'ai fait que fuir ou bien...
Je me maintiens dans ma douce dérive.
Loin de mes frères et soeurs, plombés,
dans leurs carcans, plombés,
des oripeaux de bêtise, plombés,
cramés dans leurs boîtes, plombés.
Ils s'engouffrent dans l'évidence, plombés.
Servir ou se faire servir.
Et l'autre qui veut te taire, toujours.
Pauvres carcasses, élèver pour becqueter.
L'horreur ! mon poussin, l'horreur !
Je me casse.
J'veux de cette vie, qui est partout, qui est nulle part.
La vie. Le garçon rêvé et ses chansons pour hommes médiocres. La vie.
Je finis au Zorba et j'attends sagement Anna, Julien et Nathan.
