1. LES NUITS

Les nuits
Sont noires
L'envie
L'espoir

Le nom
De Dieu
Il pleut
Toujours

A time to weep
A time to laugh
A time to speak
A time to keep silence

Les jours
Sont blancs
L'oiseau
L'enfant

Les nuits
Sont noires
L'envie
L'espoir

Et moi
Je suis
Colère
L'envie

A time to born
A time to die
A time for war
A time for peace

Les nuits
Sont noires
L'envie
L'espoir

Et toi
Tu es
Le jour
La nuit


2. THE RISING SUN

Black
When the night is falling down on me
Grey
I see the outline of the tree

Mylove and I were walking
Through a waving wood
The sky was blue
My love and I were walking
On a frozen lake
The setting sun

Blue
Every morning is a mystery
White
In the outline of my door

My love and I, we fall asleep
In white rooms
Of our memory
My love and I, we disagree
On temperance
And destiny

How can we change?
What can we do?
Our hands are black
Our soul are blue

The long long years
What have we done?
We turn our heads
The rising sun


3. THE EIFFEL TOWER

Here I am with my child on the Eiffel tower
Looking down
When the light disappears
Paris is a frozen town

Now she turns her face to the camera
A photograph
And the river is a diamond snake
Around her head

I can't see it anymore
Nobody's knocking on my door

And e dream that we fall with a parachute
Like angles do
We look at the world through the eyes of birds
Feather words

I can't feel it anymore
Nobody's knocking on my door

We land in a street where poets live
Where painters died
The smell in a shop
Vinagar and artichoke

I can't taste it anymore
Somebody's knocking on my door

We sleep in a night on the stones of Père
Père Lachaise
We look at the names of Jim Morrison
And Chopin

5. THE LONG SONG

Each day I start
Thinking about it
We know by now
There's no love without it

Why is it taking so long
Till late in the evening?
Did I just wake up again
Or was I not sleeping?

And hold me hold me hold me
Till the time has come
Hold me hold me and hold me
Till it's done

So hold me hold me hold me
Till the time as come
And hold me hold me hold me
When it's done


6. THE LAUNDERETTE

Saw the angel
Falling down
Near the laundrette
On the sidewalk
Falling down
Saw the angel
Falling down
Near the laundrette
On the ground

Oh verything's frozen
In my soul
I am sleeping
Oh everything's frozen
In my soul
I am sleeping
Sleeping
Mmmmmm

It falls like the rain in my eye
The icicle from the sky
I am frozen
I see the light in the sky
And the clouds
The icicle falling down
Through my heart
I am frozen

It falls like the rain in my eye
The icicle from the sky
I am frozen
I see the light in the sky
And the clouds
The icicle falling down
Through my heart
Frozen

The sound of a train
On the railway arch
Through my head
I'm sleeping

Frozen angel


7. THE PIZZERIA

I had a terrible dream
The hour was early
I walk in my neighbourhood
I turn a corner

I see a river blood
With angels drowing
Devils with black parachutes
Fall down with bare feet
On the street
With sound of a thunder
Incredibly loud
My hands are on my ears

I had a beautiful dream
The hour was late
I felt incredibly light
A hundred keys in thousand pieces
Were flying like dragonflies
Over my head into the street
It was a beautiful sight
Like icicles in light

I had a terrible dream
The ovens in the pizzeria
Were burning like hell
The dryers in the laundrette
Werre turning red
It was a terrible sight
I heard the barcodes beep


8. THE KEY SHOP (WAR & PEACE)

The streets are red with raindrops
Falling from the crying sky
It's in my ear
It's in my eye

A man outside the laundrette
Is falling on the rainy street
It's in my ear
It's in my eye

War and peace
Live together like siamese twins
One stops
The other begins
War and peace
War and peace

I am a believer
In the things I can see with my eyes
No burning hell
No paradise

A man outside the key shop
He stops and waves goodbye
It's in my ear
It's in my eye

War and peace
Live together like siamese twins
One stops
The other begins
War and peace
War and peace

Dead man on the sidewalk
Raindrops from the crying sky
It's in my ear
It's in my eye

War and peace
Live together like siamese twins
One stops
The other begins
War and peace
War and peace


9. THE WIND-UP BIRD

Somebody said that it's red
But she knows it's blue
There are so many things in her life
That she wants to do

Sometimes she cries
Waving her sad goodbyes
She says "Life is a mystery
It a tree with a wind-up bird"
With a wind-up bird

Sometimes she smiles
She's Charlie C. for a while
She says "Life is a mystery
It a tree with a wind-up bird"

The change in the weather
Is changing her mood today
With a wind-up bird
There are so many things in her life
That she has to say
With a wind-up bird

Sometimes she hurts
Sometimes she can be a dying tree
Using bitter words
She says "Life is a dying tree
Look at me
I'm a wind-up bird"

I'm a wind-up bird

Her head is an attic
Packed with broken things
She cannot remeber them
Only when sh sings

Somtimes it rains
Somtimes it raining diamonds
Diamonds in her brain
She says "Life is a mystery
It a tree with a wind-up bird"

Wind-up bird
With a wind-up bird
Wind-up bird
With a wind-up bird
Wind-up bird
Ahhhh


10. THE HOLE

Into a town
Into a street
Into a house
There's a hole

Into a room
In a wall
There's a hole

The cloud on a lake
The comma of the World
There's a hole
There's a hole
In my heart

She looks at me
As if I were a mirror
There's a hole
There's a hole
In my heart

I saw the sky and the stars
I saw the trees and the leaves
There's a hole
There's a hole
In my heart

Lokk at this town
Lokk at this street
Look at this house
Look at this wall
There's a hole
There's a hole
In my heart

I see the wall
I see the room
I see the house
I see the street
I see the town
There's a hole

Black crows in a yellow field
A window with a thousand keys
There's a hole
There's a hole
In my heart

I saw the child on a beach
I saw the rain on the leaves
There's a hole
There's a hole
In my heart

And it falls like the rain in a forest
It falls like rain in our hearts


11. THE MILKMAN

Oli told me
When we walked down
He was the milkman
In his hometown

I wish that life was always simple
I wish that it would never rain

Every morning
Or should I say night
He delivered the bottles
Before the first light

He was the milkman
And she was the cook
It sounds like a story
From some old-fashioned book

I wish that life was always like that
Never a cloud above our head

They fell in love
As simple as that
He brought the milk
And she baked the bread
