Mardi, 11 heure du soir
C’est lorsque je t’ai quitté méchante - que notre séparation est cruelle pour moi - Mon Dieu! ourquoi t’ai-je laissé partir précipitamment, partir sans adieu – Oh! j’ai bien des remords - et bien des chagrins à l’heure qu’il est - et je voudrais me repentir à tes genoux - Je suis bien méchante - bien injuste n’est-ce pas? Mais je t’aime - Oh! oui, c’est bien vrai - je t’aime - Je ne crois qu’en toi - je ne vis qu’en toi - et pour toi - Veux-tu savoir ce qui me rend folle, injuste et méchante? C’est la crainte de n’avoir pas la première place dans ton cœur -
Je souffre de te savoir près de gens qui ont autant que moi - et plus encore le droit de t’aimer - Enfin, j’envie jusqu’à l’air que tu respires - Je crains que l’air soit plus doux - le soleil plus beau - à la campagne qu’à Paris - où l’air est si lourd - Le soleil est si triste depuis quelques jours -
Si tu savais comme je t’aime - mon Victor, tu aurais de l’indulgence - tu m’aimerais davantage - pour toutes ces tracasseries que te suscite mon amour - Je t’aime plus que je ne puis dire - Je t’aime avec frénésie - Enfin je t’aime - mais mon cœur va bien au-delà de ce mot, je t’aime - J’y mets toute ma vie - toute mon âme - Pourvu que mon injustice ne te refroidisse pas - pourvu que tu reviennes au plus tard demain - pourvu que tu m’aimes encore autant - Tout est encore réparable - Je t’aimerai jusqu’à l’expiation complète de tous mes torts - Je t’aimerai après - toute ma vie - et au-delà si nous avons une autre vie -
Bonsoir ange - Bonsoir, mille baisers, mille caresses, en pensées, en désirs. Je t’aime mon Victor.
Pensez à moi - aussi - Vous ne m’écrivez jamais vous

Hey Barbara how've you been?
Five winters gone you still look the same
Like Catherine Keener, Mother Teresa
How the hell have you been?
Hey Barbara won't you pour me a drink?
Don't worry I ain't driving tonight
I hear you're sober now, man that's great
I'll still have another drink
Hey Barbara how's your girl?
Did she make it pass the state championships?
Is she chasing her dreams like you raised her to?
Hey Barbara how's your girl?

Just Kids

Darling wait for me
Down by the cathedral steps
I'll be just a bit
Throw in a couple of bucks for not giving a fuck
I'll take your savior with a glass of wine
Down the stairs we go
See that carousel over there?
I found it fond as a kid
I start to laugh and think, "Jesus I'm still a kid."
Who am I kidding? We're all just kids
Running around figuring what to do
With our lives when we grow up
The truth of it is none of it matters at all
It's just now that happens
There's just now that happens
Before we all die alone
Dearest love abroad
I write you in tender thoughts
They've got me on the move
Station to station I'm growing impatient
But I'll hold out just enough to see you before I sail
Through the tides that tell me time
Is just something we made up
To bring some sense out of all this mess
That we put ourselves in
Just like we always do
Time and time again

To Live

Hey old friend
Tell me how life has been
Are you still writing songs?
That's so nice to hear
Days gone by
Did you learn to let it be?
I hope you learned to talk it out
And trust in your voice
Don't look back
There is nothing you can change
Don't get stuck
On the beauty and the pain
That we must endure
To live
Dear HM
Have you been to Sweden yet?
Did you catch up with James?
I hope he is well
Dust on the shelf
Do you speak your brother's tongue?
I know you always wanted to
Have you seen it through?
Don't look back
There is nothing you can change
Don't get stuck
On the beauty and the pain
That we must endure
To live
Motion to keep me awake
Is it still the same for you?
Nothing can ever remain as it is
That's just how it is
To live

L'Éternité
02:39

Elle est retrouvée.
Quoi? - L'Éternité.
C'est la mer allée
Avec le soleil
Âme sentinelle,
Murmurons l'aveu
De la nuit si nulle
Et du jour en feu.
Des humains suffrages,
Des communs élans
Là tu te dégages
Et voles selon.
Puisque de vous seules,
Braises de satin,
Le Devoir s'exhale
Sans qu'on dise : enfin.
Là pas d'espérance,
Nul orietur.
Science avec patience,
Le supplice est sûr.
Elle est retrouvée.
Quoi? - L'Éternité.
C'est la mer allée
Avec le soleil.

There I was at the grocery
Looking for canola oil
My eyes came fixed upon
An angel in the seventh aisle
Suddenly I hear a song
Something from so long ago
Makes me think of you and then I kick the bottle over
I slip and fall and break my skull
And then I see an angel
Standing alone at the seventh hour
Waiting for me
When I finally come around
I feel the pounding in my chest
Guess what's lost can be found
Perhaps this is just all a test
Finding something meaningful
Distractions from absurdity
Makes the pain go numb but then it always just starts over
Take the fall, so say we all
And then I see an angel
Standing alone at the seventh hour
Waiting for me

Hand In Hand
02:42
|

Isn't it funny where the time does go?
Felt like just yesterday when I first laid eyes on you
And everything changed
Three strikes you're out, I swung and I swung
I hit the home run and we kept on running
Why don't we take it home
I could spend all my life with you
And that's why we're standing here today
Hand in hand
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
But I could go for something just a little bit stronger
Why don't we see what can be?
I could spend all my life with you
That's why we're standing here today
Hand in hand

Without You
02:51
|

Words escape me I feel afraid
Some kind of nothing I stay in place
The more I try the deeper I sink
Until I can't feel a thing
I wanna crawl inside a hole
Way down there ain't a single soul
No kind of pain or sentiment, but what's the point in that?
It's no life at all
Without you
Without you
Without you
I swear I'm trying everyday
Can I change am I stuck this way?
There is no right I understand
But I can't stand myself
I'd love you better could I only see
What you saw when you look at me
My self-worth is such a drag, it blinds me from the truth
That life would be much worse
Without you
Without you
Without you

Le Cancre

Il dit non avec la tête
mais il dit oui avec le cœur
il dit oui à ce qu'il aime
il dit non au professeur
il est debout
on le questionne
et tous les problèmes sont posés
soudain le fou rire le prend
et il efface tout
les chiffres et les mots
les dates et les noms
les phrases et les pièges
et malgré les menaces du maître
sous les huées des enfants prodiges
avec des craies de toutes les couleurs
sur le tableau noir du malheur
il dessine le visage du bonheur
Il dit non avec la tête
mais il dit oui avec le cœur
