The Actor & The Thief 03:40
lyrics
Have you ever seen, The actor & the thief? One at your side, The other at your knees Searching your clothes While words feed your ears I didn’t have enough cash But our love was real No one ever took care Of me like they did One has a golden voice The second is a sigh They can drive you home, Be Saints indeed Or they can boil your blood, And push you down at their feet. So I have been a good girl I’ve never been a preacher I never told them that they’d feel So bad… One became my lover The other went in through the window With his certainties in a bag… Have you ever seen The twins of St-Anne street? One dressed in black The other dressed in pink They would sell you apples As blessed fruits Their anger looked like mine And my awe was real. No one had ever entertained me Like they did One with a smile The other with stories As crazy as a lie, Which we always dreamed to hear I didn’t have enough cash But our love was real No one has caught me so well No one has forced me so much No one has told them that they’d feel So bad... So I took them there I took them higher Took their loneliness in a bag.

Try This 03:05
lyrics
They don’t know my name They don’t know my name But they know what I am made of And it makes me real And it makes me real I’m tired of hanging around I must concede A secret pleasure: I need more love, I need too much love Try to be a bit understanding. Yes, I’m complaining It’s almost obscene I’d have been a great singer, yeah… I have saved myself with candles on fire I’ve considered the most foolish offers I need no one, I need no one, To force me to do what I am Doing right now, Doing right now Do not call the ambulance… Just try this... I have nothing I have nothing But I invent everything My head is whirling My head is whirling I take another deep breath It’s like an old maxim Stuffed with adrenalin One century before You’d have seen my soul Rolling down to your plump feet and... One after, I’d have been a snuff Movie star baby

Mine 02:07
lyrics
Now you’re mine, everything is alright We share all these things, a dream realized Now that he’s gone, with my tears and youth The cage and the limits “Goodbye Everyone”! Now you’re mine, but my future is like An awestruck beast A horse on fire And I’m not sure of nothing at all The cops, the lunatics “Hello everyone” ! …La… Now I’m fine, you’re on my side An impossible tree The roots in the ground But what have we done? There’s no magic book Just the snake and the apple And “Goodbye everyone” ! We will lead an army of skint people And in a wink We will be like him Consumed with doubt We’ll lose our soul, Without honor, ethics “Goodbye everyone”! …La…

Excess 04:30
lyrics
We will not change What’s wrong now We’re just protecting What we’re afraid to lose We’ll set a glassy plate and Put them on We’ll shake our souls And deliver the juice Our naked bodies have A perfect look Devoid of risk and misunderstanding So we will share the forbidden fruit And when we’ll cum It will stick in my throat And it turns me on It turns you on We’re flying high Disappear in the smoke Of our own clouds, Our mechanisms. We reveal the angel or The prostitute Hidden inside, Released from childhood The fire’s rising Threatening to consume A part of our heart And our fingers too We’re betting more than we can Really do We are testing, We simply carry out Now, inhale Don’t be ingenuous We’ll be together now Don’t be shy, We’ll travel long enough To redefine… …the world As it should be Its blood, its sap and its seeds.

Alchemists 04:42
lyrics
These colours will shine on me In corners of this box As empty as it can be These colours will release me…They say. It’s a conversation which has never been, I know All kinds of things which have Already been wounded here It’s the blossom of a great idea But I make no illusion about it I’m not surprised as I used to be To see them collect all the honors. Each confrontation will make me sick It’s a broken alchemy This behaviour, they said to me, It’s pretty worrying, Now I’ve lost My faith and reason to be here I make no illusion at all… It’s a correlation of strange machines, it’s like A curve, a prediction, a slow fall, It’s my contribution to this trickery With which they favour us. I’m not surprised as I used to be To see them collect all the honors. Each confrontation will make me sick It’s a broken alchemy

The Perfect Stranger 04:25
lyrics
Did you ever think I would turn it on, I’d turn on the gas? Did you ever think I would smash it all, In a mess like that? No one could predict That it turned sour, Now I want to feel free And if I could, I’d try not to touch you I’d try to leave slowly, Like sand in your hands. And if I knew, if I’d found the formula Which gods keep for themselves, What would we become? Did you ever think that the one who knows Is the one who owes? Did you ever think that I could scream so loud in a case like that? Than even worms would know your name And start to appreciate it. And if I could, I’d try not to touch you I’d try to leave slowly, crying all I could. If I’d knew That it’d never be the cure To the shooting pain, like a snake On the ground… And as soon as I have finished with your heart and mind I’d try to live, as a cloud rocked by the wind I left my body A few years ago Carefully modelled by you, I became a perfect stranger Now I’m gonna leave you and get out of here.

The Ferryman 03:08
lyrics
Hey, are you looking for that kind of paper ? If you can pay the price I’ll give you the best one To an other land, which looks like heaven If you’re ready now, I'm gonna check your luggages Oh lady, be sure not to take too much Cause all that they have is all you'll lose You think you're sad, I think there’re worse So... if you're ready now... This ship goes to the west, and never turns back Now take my offer, or stop hanging around Cause they come by hundreds, several thousands of minds And your so delicate legs, won't save your life So come on lady, it is your chance to fly To eat some meat, and drink some wine To serve a hot plate to your sweetie child To have your rest, and build your house So come on honey, I always need cash And I'm sure your legs could save your life Far from that cold eastern town It makes no doubt This ship goes to the west, and never turns back Now take my offer, or stop hanging around Cause they come by hundreds, several thousands of minds And your so delicate legs, won't save your life.

The Same Air 04:36
lyrics
Can you look around, And tell me now How does it feel To breathe the air we breathe? You don’t make a sound, As a frightened animal, Eyes blinded by gusts of wind Now I am strangled by fear I am scared to see you Looking for your identity I heard a call, it roars so loud, I can’t escape it I wish I could dive And shut it up, in a bright blue sea And finally feel free Can you look around, And tell me now How does it feel To breathe the air I breathe? Every evil part, Every silent crime Will be dug into the heart of this cemetery. Now I am strangled by fear I am scared to see you Looking for your identity I heard a call, it roars so loud, I can’t escape it I wish I could dive And shut it up, in a bright blue sea And finally feel free.

The Bomb 05:17
lyrics
You won’t have any trouble with me, We’ll walk out of the marked road Safe and sound You won’t have to beg to live We look at the reigning stars On this world, we’ll settle on We’ll get lost in the heat of The iron become sand We will taste the fruit of freedom and peace Before rebirth We’re as the Phoenix And if there are dark surprises Before the end of the trip Try not to worry I’m as Pandora I’ll wake them up from their sleep Or burn them up like atom I can be chaos As good as a bomb We’ll get lost in the heat of The iron become sand We will taste the fruit of freedom and peace Before rebirth, We’re as the Phoenix.
