Back To One
03:07
|
|||
Are we back to the real thing?
Are we back to one?
Get estranged, then get back home
Try to leave and make a home out of the escape
Trains arrive and I will ride them
I’ll find the clues to a better life
A new lie, a new fragment
Seas are wide but I will trust them
I am broken but the sun is mine

Proof Of Desire
04:13
|

Is this the kind of love you’re joining in
but weighs on you?
Is this the kind of love you’re posing in
and then expires you?
Leaving a hole where a home should be
Leaving a wound where a dream should drip
I am a little scared to tell you the truth
Seems to me it’s always leading up
to a proof of desire
I’m heading to a storm with no plan out
I’m hanging from a rope
like a fruit that inspires

Last Thrill
03:48
|
|||
Ships are mounting
on the riverside, with you
Frozen morning
never felt this homesick or alive
Now what’s left of twinkling lights of hope?
Armoured love and reins to keep on
Now what’s left of me without you there?
Isn’t it a fall for both of us to scare?
Cause breaking free ain’t easy
Sunset’s crawling
Are you still in me my love?
It’s our last thrill
Will we ever be this close again?
Bridges, buildings
Hudson’s flowing over us
Saw us breaking by a lonely pier
way back when
Now you know
it shouldn’t hurt this much

The Light
04:46
|
|||
Given the time you had
it’s all gone well or terribly wrong
Taking the toll
is always as all that ends can ever bring
Wearing a stare
to stare at the wildest flame I’ve known
so I can breathe into this
or breathe out of us
Now you can’t see the light
Looks like you’ve waited enough
But who’s gonna creep in now
through the bedsheets?
In the cold, clean moon you held the fantasy
and I held the thought,
in my defence
But you’ll find no tears, love, no rain
to come undone the stain
And all life is cold and all is old
I’m never saying this is harmless again
Now you can’t see the light

Phoenicia
03:06
|
|||
If you can’t recall the weather that brought us together
when you said I am your love
say it again tomorrow when we are in sorrow
for the birds we kept encaged
Don’t believe what they say
well they never knew us
and they’ll never be a part of us
Don’t regret the evening we parted forever
I will carry us within
It’s only loneliness
that we can find without
until it’s past

Restless Man
03:30
|
|||
You are a restless man and you won’t sleep tonight
cause we sit around and talk about you and me
We’ll listen to the same record over and over again
and shots will find us dancing to a frenzy rhythm
I am a restless girl and you won’t sleep tonight
cause we will lie in bed and watch them stars fall
You’ll hold my hands and say “let’s dance the way we did as kids”
Then I will feel your lips and your breath under my neck
We are the restless ones
We are the tie-free style
We all the live-for-now style
We dance our own ways
We’ll spend the day together because there’s nothing else to do
We met and now we have to prove ourselves we won
We are the restless ones
We are the tie-free style
We are the fake-smile style
So we just dance again
You are a restless man
And I’m a restless girl
We dance the way we did as kids
Then we do the grown-up style
The restless style

What You've Become
02:43
|
|||
Counter-words in the morning light
Ventures and acts of crime
in a cold-blooded sun
Ever-flying just to dwell
on whatever will ring the bell
of what you’ve seen
Mountain rock and the rhythm gets stuck
once you set foot on the picture
All along it’s been great
but a ton of hide-aways
I should have gone
it would have been my star invention
but lazying is just too good
Do you hear voices?
And do they approve
of what you’ve become?

The Go Betweens
05:02
|
|||
All the treacherous ways you found
to show your love around
All the meaningless lies you spread
to make your heart look dead
Between the dreary hours
Between midnight and dawn
We built up a scenery
one hell of a scenery
All the laughters that you made me hear
to lead me to your sensation, to feed me your fear
All the minutes we stared at each other’s eyes
showed that words better not be used
Hush now
Between winter and spring
Between the cool and the wildest
I cannot recall
a better love to go to waste

Pour tous ceux qui ferment la porte car ils ont peur et ne peuvent pas dormir.
