Not too sad 03:13
I'm not as bad as I seem to be And I'm not quite as good as I've been said to be I'm not too sad, not too lonely Or am I? I really don't know, maybe. There's but one thing that's true Baby I miss you, I do. I'm not as strong as I seem to be And I'm not quite as crazy as I think I ought to be. I'm not too sad, not too lonely Or am I? I really don't know, maybe. There's but one thing that's true Baby I miss you, I do. I'm not as strong as I seem to be And I'm not quite as crazy as I think i ought to be by now. I'm not too sad, not too lonely Or am I? I really don't know, maybe. There's but one thing that's true Baby I miss you, I do.

Nyctalope 04:25
Je pense à mon amour Je pense à toi, salope J'y pensais tout le jour Mon esprit nyctalope Te voit comme en plein jour. Dans ma tête hop et hop Les images tour à tour Se chevauchent et galopent Mais elles reviennent toujours Et c'est triste salope Vers tes vieux mots d'amour. Mon esprit nyctalope Te voit comme en plein jour C'est comme un télescope Pointé aux alentours De ce monde salope Où vivait notre amour Le robinet fait blop blop blop... Et moi je tourne autour C'est bien triste salope De tes vieux mots d'amour De tes vieux mots d'amour De tes vieux mots d'amour.

Hey, barman, another double rum and soda Lean over a little closer Listen here Did I ever tell you about my mother A woman like not other A real force of nature In her younger days When she grew old she was a long time sufferer Of senile dementia Oh it drove my father wild! Before she died, she said she wanted us to bury her with her brother At the house on the French Riviera But she was an only child. On reflexion Even though the truth is clearly elsewhere She was nearly there. My impression Is that she wasn't so delusional It was volitional. You wanna know why I leave my bed unmade? There's a question, the answer I don't know. On days like these I feel as if I'm sweeping leaves Oh sweeping leaves On a windy day. A crack in the ice, and then it's all over Yeah nice to know ya Don't pass go. We work, oh we work, to establish order But ropes tangle in knots And get complicated over time. Got a system Not Dewey Decimal System But it's a system Not Dewey Decimal System But it's a system. You wanna know why i leave my face unshaved There's a question, the answer I don't know. Go man, go man, go man, go man, go! Mango don't fall too far from the tree. I'm defined by entropy. Mango don't fall too far from the tree. So much for teleology.

Imagine Tout un haras qui rit Cent canassons qui hennissent T'en as les oreilles qui frémissent Ca fout la trouille, hein? Oh je rêve... Oh j'me fait peur... Imagine Qu'avec moi-même j'en finisse Sur le nombril, l'acier qui glisse J'me fait hara-kiri Ca fout la trouille, hein? Oh je rêve... Oh j'me fait peur... J'ai l'vague à l'âme, madame, J'ai le doigt sur l'interrupteur, Je suis dans l'vague, madame, Et j'me fait peur J'ai l'vague à lame, madame, J'ai le vague à lame de cutter. Je dis vague Je divague Sur la vague De mon âme Tourmentée Je monte et Je descends Je monte et Je tombe... Oh je rêve... Oh j'me fait peur... J'ai l'vague à l'âme Oh je suis dans l'vague...

What are you trying to do? Who do you think you is? Don't expect nobody to help you Cause we asked for those But you gave us these. What time do you think it'll be When you drop on your knees and die? There'll be no begging for mercy Cause I do believe we own the sky. How long do you think we'll be waiting Silently playing dead You will remember everything When you loose your head. Because I do believe we own the sky Yes I do believe we own the sky (X 2) We own the sky we own the sky Your pretty queen just broke a nail. Where has the magic gone?

It's been years, it seems Since I last talked to you on the phone. It's been years it seems Since I left you all alone. Though I know It's been only two days. Yes I know I've seen you last sunday. Oh-oh-oh... But I've seen you in a thousand dreams Every night, every day, every night, every day. Yes I've seen you in a thousand dreams Every night, every day, every night, every day. And I'm so scared I might not see your face again. Yes I'm so scared I might feel empty and dead again. Though I know It's been only two days. Yes I know I've seen you last sunday. Oh-oh-oh...

Ô ma Koumba (X 8) Ô ma déesse Ô ma négresse (X 4) Ô ma déesse Ô ma négresse Plus rien ne presse Rien ne me blesse

A couple of bird watchers Took the coastal path And came upon A brocko house With a faded sign on the front that said Make your words Soft and sweet Never know When you'll eat Your words, your words, your words. Hm, strange bird. And they paused for a second And then shrugged and moved on.
