Les soleils couchants
Revetent les champs Les canaux, la ville entiere D'hyacinthe et d'or Le monde s'endort Dans une chaude lumiere La, tout n'est qu'ordre et beaute Luxe, calme et volupte Took a taxi with Jean last night It was late and it was raining We live far away from each other And there was no desire I think it was more the dark night Or some lonely feeling When we got home, we were alone We fell in love with that feeling When we got home, we were alone We fell in love with that feeling Rain since Tuesday Barely found my way to the shop For the milk in the morning And the news of the world had turned around Then I heard you calling Saw you turn the darkened corner Then you were gone When I've got home, I was alone I fell in love with that feeling When I've got home, I was alone And I counted stars on the ceiling When I've got home, I was alone And I fell in love with that feeling When I've got home, I was alone And I counted stars on the ceiling I fell in love with that feeling When I've got home, I was alone I counted stars on the ceiling I fell in love with that feeling I fell in love with that feeling The setting suns Adorn the fields The canals, the whole city With hyacinth and gold The world falls asleep In a warm glow of light There all is order and beauty Luxury, peace, and pleasure |

It's hard to remember days
Mornings lost in a chronic haze Breath is fast and the trains are slow, I barely feel it though All day long I fantasize In the dark behind of other people's eyes And then they disappear Words get lost in the atmosphere The truth, I'll tell, I'll tell the truth Sixteen on a summer roof You ask for the facts Well I'll need proof Outside on skin That crimson dress too thin All winter up her woods I touched it, it felt good All I want is my radio [2x] He speaks in a voice I know Sounds like sound when the tide is low We kiss to the voice each night Bathed in pale reactor light I cry when the morning comes Count my blessings and my thumbs Say: ""Thanks god for whatever comes"" That briefly cross my fingers All I want is a room somewhere Run away from the chemoware And when I go my radio Will make a melody that lingers All I want is my radio... Station ninety-nine point 'O' [99.0] Tell the DJ: ""DJ keep it slow"" Light to fade before you know It's hard to remember days Mornings lost in a chronic haze Breath is fast and the trains are slow I barely feel it though All day long I fantasize In the dark behind of other people's eyes And then they disappear Words get lost in the atmosphere The truth, I'll tell, I'll tell the truth Sixteen on a summer roof You ask for the facts Well I give you proof Here's the truth It's all I want, Is my radio All I want is my radio [...repeat innumerable times] ...tell the DJ: DJ keep it slow ...light to fade before you know |

Going, going, going, going....gone!
Still hooked on cellophane Still hanging 'round the mall and all Each penny numbs the pain Sends you gently for the fall I followed you last night I saw you turn your lights out I knew it wasn't right I watched in fear and doubt It gotten to be that way (going going gone) What did you do today (going going gone) Look good in that red dress I bet the boyfriend's happy Your face is scarred with age You're twenty three But how can that be You're still hooked on cellophane Killing time with gin and lime Each second numbs the pain Love's just another rhyme It's gotten to be that way (going going gone) I'm scared but I'm okay (going going gone) There's no where to move on There's no where to move on All I see again All I see All I see again All I see All I see again All I see All I see again Is me everywhere It's me... Dah da dah da do dut dah Dah da dah da do dut dah Dah da dah da do dut dah Dah da dah da do dut dah Dah da dah da do dut dah Dah da dah da do dut dah |

Punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet? When in this charming car This charming man Why pamper life's complexities When the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat? I would go out tonight But I haven't got a stitch to wear This man said, "It's gruesome That someone so handsome should care" A jumped-up pantry boy who never knew his place He said, "Return the ring" He knows so much about He knows so much about these things And I would go out tonight But I haven't got a stitch to wear Oh, yeah This man said, "It's gruesome That someone so handsome should care" |

the rain fell hard on the roofs that day
you telephone from far away I see the ocean from my room all I could say was "are you coming home soon?" the static whisper in my ear but in a moment your voice was clear "I need some time," you said to me that's when I knew you were gonna make me lonely you were gonna make me wish for the time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away you're gonna make me wish for the time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away I walk awhile before I sleep, count the secrets that I keep I hope for more, I know for sure I fall apart before I weep I disconnect the telephone 'cause I can choose to be alone I'll get more done, I'll have some fun, pretend you're not the only one and I'm never gonna wish for the time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away you're gonna make me wish for a time right before I was born when every living breath was another new dawn like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill and the wind almost took me away |

"The whole of England must be searching for me. Well, sooner or later, they're going to find me."
"Never. Because, you see...they're looking for you, alright. But nobody's looking for me." International rock star That would make the day go down easy Crucified in my sports car I've got high hopes that things end famously And then there's love To keep keeping you down You find release In the big time International rock star That would make the pain go away The last one standing at the bar Is the dream that'll have to do for today And then there's love To keep keeping you down You find some peace In the big time (It's funny...) Until then Until then Until then (This is getting easy...) I'll keep you Locked up tight In my collection "How long are you going to keep me here?" "I don't know. It depends." "On what? On my falling in love with you? If that's what you think, I'll be here 'til I die. Now go away. Go away! Take it over..." |

The bar closes early on the Sabbath day
So me and my kid we hit the park to play Then it'd start to rain so we'd walk home again He asked why he was born I don't know what to say I don't feel guilty and I don't feel sad This mother fucking life is the best he's had I said I've been there sonny and it ain't that bad I took my hits from the shits back when I was a lad So long ago and even though I tried I couldn't make him see the life he had cast in front of me And even though I cried I couldn't make him be the very thing I needed His mother'd make a scene when I come home late She look like she's dying but she's twenty eight I never loved that whore I never will no more Except for a month back in '84 The jam was playing and my heart stood still gazing at a shadow on the window sill So long ago and even though I tried I couldn't make her see I wasn't quite the man she thought I'd be And even though I cried I couldn't make her be the very thing I needed And even though I tried I couldn't make her see I wasn't quite the man she thought I'd be And even though I cried I couldn't make her be the very thing I needed Could she be the very thing I needed? Could she be the very thing the very thing Push yourself away from your one best friend Who's going to love you when you reach the end? Who will? Who will? Who will? |

True
What the man say is true All he's been telling you Vapor trails align at evening time We flew In from the Cote D'Azur Wearing our shades and sure We were good to go in our Peugeot We die Each day and every night Follow the swallows' flight And we drank champagne like it was rain We try Try to outlast the day Let that lone drummer play Hell, I ain't afraid of the choice I made It's true All of this is true All I've been telling you From this rhyme it's the killing time, it's true It's true, it's true, it's true... True, true, true... Helped by navigation so we went to the map Half the way to China and we never came back Helped by navigation so we went to the map Half the way to China and we never came back That night Under the vineyard sky We kissed and the world cried As we hit descend and reached the end So young Deep in our hearts we knew All I've been telling you is true It's true All of this is true All I've been telling you From this rhyme it's the killing time, it's true All of this is true! |

This is the seventh time,
And I've got seven reasons. And almost everytime, It ends up with you leaving. Just give it one more chance, It's all about the truth. Don't close your eyes at night, Till our mouths have kissed. I'll count the the steps to happiness, I've missed, Recall, One is the touch, Two is the feeling, Three is the answer, Four the meaning, Five and six are the devil's kicks, So seven better be heaven. I saw you turn to him, As the last guests were leaving. And then you caught my eyes, Bowed your head in grieving, And said, One is the touch, Two is the feeling, Three is the answer, Four the meaning, Five and six are the devil's kicks, So seven better be heaven. One is the touch, Two is the feeling, Three is the answer, Four the meaning, Five and six are the devil's kicks, So seven better be heaven. |

And even though I told her of the danger

Ba ba ba ba Ohhhhhhh... Mmmmmmmmm A kid I blew in Central Park called I met him in a local cafe He told me hard luck stories of his childhood I took his life in the light of day Call 911, there's a boy in trouble He's raped and broken, it was done by my double Ohhhhhhh... Ba ba ba ba Ohhhhhhh... Mmmmmmmmm I can romanticize or I can realize That my whole life's been living as a liar But when I walked away with their blood on mine hands I knew I reached for something higher Ohhhhhhh...

Come around and say you love me
Hang your heart and lights above me Is that too much to ask for When the night descends upon us Take a shower, dry your hair by the furnace I'll watch you from the corner Telephones and old typewriters Words of love along the wires Lets make it work tonight Telegraphs and birds that fly Through air so still you hear me sigh Lets make it work tonight Tonight Tonight Then furious you threw the picture I cap in hand, an awful mixture That kind of hard love is the worst I try to speak But you don't hear me When your gone You still feel near me For awhile For a little while I try telephones and old typewriters Words of love along the wires But nothing is working tonight I try telegraphs and birds that fly Through air so still you hear me sigh But nothing is working tonight Tonight Please let's make it work tonight Please let's make it work tonight Tonight |
