Harvesters 03:03
There’s a scar on the back of my neck I try not to show it Just a thing from the past that I keep Locked in my head You're the nicest dream I've ever had Got a picture of you where your hair Gleans the sky and the meadow Got a child that I carry around In the tray my barrow « This was the nicest day we’ve ever shared » And you’re the richest soil I’ll ever sow Now I can see wrinkles in the corners of your eyes They mean we've been together for a long time There’s a wound on the bark of your soul You don’t talk about it There’s an oak that has grown wild and tall Out of concrete Still you're the nicest dream I've ever had Got a picture of you where your hair Gleans the sky and the meadow There’s a child that I carry around In the tray my barrow « This was the nicest day we’ll ever share  » And you’re the home I had been dreaming of Now I can see weariness in the corner of your smile It means we’ve been together for a long time

A Nouveau 04:43
Je peux sentir la peine à nouveau Je peux sentir la joie et la peine à nouveau Mais le ciel ne m’entend toujours pas Le ciel ne m’entend toujours pas Je peux sentir la haine à nouveau Je peux sentir l’amour et la haine à nouveau Les étoiles ne brillent pas que pour nous Les étoiles ne brillent pas que pour nous Où que j’aille, là où j’irai tu iras Où que je sois, là où je serai tu seras Parmi moi Je peux sentir la tristesse à nouveau Je peux sentir l’allégresse, la tristesse à nouveau Mais les vagues peuvent plaire à tout le monde Les vagues peuvent plaire à tout le monde. Où que j’aille, là où j’irai tu iras Où que je sois, là où je serai tu seras Parmi moi Je peux sentir la peine à nouveau Je peux sentir la joie et la peine à nouveau Mais le ciel ne m’entend toujours pas Le ciel ne m’entend toujours pas

Enemies 04:24
I need my tens and my phone But I don’t work for the man This rented car is a home This can of beer is a friend The job counselor is my real enemy I’ve been walking the streets Where the town has no end Where you knock on the wrong door If what you need is at hand And the cold wind was my real enemy You can change your bed sheets but you cannot conquer your dreams I praised the lord of my master I begged the gods of my slave But I wedded disaster And I was born on a grave The newscaster is my real enemy Now my heart is made out of stone My flesh is made out of bones I’ve never felt so alone I’ll never pay off the loans And the realtor is my real enemy You can ask for mercy but you cannot white out your past I hear my savior calling my name I swear I’ll never doubt him again I need my tens and my phone But I don’t work for the man This rented car is a home This can of beer is a friend The job counselor is my real enemy

Parrot 03:39
Your frustration has a face But the guard said « no picture ! » You’re studying the past And you mastermind the future We all dreamt of a rise But we kept waiting for permission You have a head full of the fight And you won’t win the election So listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat Listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat So many babblers in the night Selling out the same pollution : « Have a last thought for the light Before darkness wins the auction » We were poets in exile We were crappy little smokers It was written in a file By someone in the ghetto So listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat Listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat Is this a terminal world Or just crippling entertainment ? It was cries that I heard And It was coming from the basement Listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat Listen to the words that the parrot says and try to repeat

J’ai le démon du jeu, tu sais Je parie toujours sur un cheval mort Et c’est lourd, c’est lourd, c’est lourd Pendant que tu montes les marches Je prends l’escalator Et c’est lourd, c’est lourd, lourd D’être ici sans toi Et je traîne dans ce bar Où je chante pour personne Je veux que tu me donnes Une seconde chance pour la deuxième fois Pour la deuxième fois Perdu dans la nuit orange Où la banlieue nous poursuit Je laisse passer l’orage, limite la casse ; j’aime la vie Toujours à l’heure aux funérailles J’ai cessé de penser A la fille du lycée Hey toi, le plus bandant danseur du dancing Tu mets l’amour au planning Mais peux-tu me censurer, peux-tu me censurer le coeur Sortez la guillotine du musée On va faire un truc, s’amuser Même si c’est lourd, c’est lourd, c’est lourd D’être ici. Et je traîne sur le port Où je jure sur personne Je veux que tu me donnes Une seconde chance pour la deuxième fois Pour la deuxième fois Une seconde chance pour la deuxième fois Pour la dernière fois

Factory Town 03:58
We were born in a factory town Your daddy had the job as mine The same job, the same house, the same life as mine Born and bred in a factory town Your daddy hit the same bars as mine The same bars, the same bottle, the same wife as mine Got punched in and punched out in the same streets as mine No girl had more beautiful eyes than you had No one gives me the same kind treat that you do But honey if you wanna come You gotta come alone We were born in a factory town Your daddy dug the same hole as mine The same hole for the same coal in the same coal mine as mine Born and bred in a factory town Your daddy smoked the same air as mine Black blood that he coughed up from the same lungs as mine He wiped grit and wiped dust from the same eyes as mine No girl had had a more beautiful smile than you had No one sells better stuff than you do But honey if you wanna come You gotta come alone Now you and me keep hanging around But no more factory in the factory town It’s dead hope, It’s bad dope and a tightening rope And you are the same kind of wrecked, soft-headed fucker as me The same kind of post working-class, wrecked, shit-headed fucker as me No girl had more beautiful eyes than you had No one gives me the same kind of treat that you do But honey if you wanna come You gotta come alone

Cancer 03:39
J’ai peur du cancer depuis que t’as chopé le tien J’ai peur du cancer depuis que t’as chopé le tien J’ai peur du cancer même quand ça ne sert à rien Une tumeur aggressive, plus agressive que ça tu meurs Une tumeur agressive, plus aggressive que ça tu meurs Tu bosses, tu fais tes heures, prends une pause d’un quart d’heure et tu meurs J’ai dit « hey docteur, parait que tu peux plus soigner ça » J’ai dit « hey docteur, à quoi tu sers si tu soignes pas ça » Tu sais c’est pas bien de dire qu’on sait quand on sait pas François pleure aujourd’hui parce qu’il sait qu’il doit partir Si François pleure aujourd’hui c’est parce qu’il sait qu’il va partir On ne sait dire quand il tousse ou quand il respire J’ai peur du cancer depuis que t’as chopé le tien J’ai peur du cancer depuis que t’as chopé le tien J’ai peur du cancer même quand ça ne sert à rien

Dans la nuit noire j’attends l’aube pâle Et me prends à rêver d’une cité idéale Celle où je suis ne me dit rien qui vaille Dans la nuit noire j’attends nos retrouvailles Deux âmes en crue, deux amants en cavale Qui pour un peu partageraient un cheval Deux diamants purs sous un chapeau de paille Dans la nuit noire j’attends nos retrouvailles Vois là-bas les vieilles montagnes Tâche de regarder au-travers : Des vallées rien que pour nous Qui se cachaient à l’arrière Dans la ville sainte l’épouse ôte le voile L’aveugle et le fou forment une chorale Le prêtre sur ses doigts comptent ses ouailles Dans la nuit noire j’attends nos retrouvailles Deux âmes en crue, deux amants en cavale Qui pour un peu partageraient un cheval Et toi que vois-tu de l’autre côté des murailles ? Dans la nuit noire j’attends nos retrouvailles Vois là-bas les vieilles montagnes Tâche de regarder au-travers : Des vallées rien que pour nous Qui se cachaient à l’arrière

Every Word 02:42
Every word has a meaning Every dream is true And you say that the whole world lies within a grain of rice The Fall of man is in the color of your eyes Can you see the wind Can you hear the sea Screaming out that I love you Crying out that I do Every road has a turning Every life has an end But now you’re taking a deep breath on the breast of a misty morning And tears of joy fall on the moorland of your skin Do you read the sky Can you hear the reeds Singing out that I love you Crying out that I do
