ways of doing and work
definition of truth
sexual regulations
language allowed/forbidden
with enthusiasm dying
for your country
the imaginary, is bounding reality
there's no need to pretend
we don't know when we do
individuality, apart from society,
is a big fallacy

Constitution biologique
a la fois rigide et plastique
Dont la souplesse laisse place
a la faculte critique
Dont la souplesse laisse place
a une bien plus grande optique
Extension trip



Biological constitution
At the time rigid and plastic
Of which the flexibility loses it's place
To the critical faculties
Of which the flexibility loses it's place
To a nice large perspective

Clearly we won't know unless we try
The possibilities are open
To create a new situation
Surely we won't know unless we try
I am far too young to die
Tell me about the general people
My belly's bursting without a...
And who are the general people?
Just a grain of sense that you confess
I have regrets if I die
Refuge in superstitions and dreams
Toying with the imaginary
Memory becomes a luxury
Refuge in superstitions and dreams
It's no way to make History
No we won't know, we won't know
We won't know unless we try

Humour et verite
senses demanteler
tout frais et toute pimpante
allemande
al'aise et insouciante
confiante
son sourire est vivant
son coeur intelligent
merci pour le manteau il m'a tenu chaud
(Elle n'aurait pas, je t'Ecrierai)

translation
Humour and truth
supposed to dismantle
all fresh and all spruced up
German
comfortable and carefree
confident
her smile is lively
her heart intelligent
thanks for the coat it kept me warm
(She wouldn't have, I will write you)

De la mme manire,
Que des filles un peu naves,
On se laisse faire,
Par la tte du pays,
On s'en va comme des poltrons,
Vivant mal leur cartlement,
Entre motion et indiffrence,
Entre rvolte et drision,
On a le dsir, on se dit il faut agir,
Mais cette lchet inavouable,
Nous rend bien trop gouvernables,
On s'en va comme des poltrons,
Vivant mal leur cartlement,
Entre motion et indiffrence,
Entre rvolte et drision.
(Whispered at the end of the song...)
on s'en va...
TRANSLATION:
Hell Of Forms
In the same manner,
As girls a bit naive,
We are manipulated,
By the head of the(our)country,
We're behaving like cowards,
Ill at ease because of the separation,
Between emotion and indifference,
Between revolt and derision,
We feel the desire, we tell ourselves we must react,
But this shameful cowardness,
Makes us too easy to be controlled,
We're behaving like cowards,
Ill at ease because of the separation,
Between emotion and indifference,
Between revolt and derision.
(Whispered at the end of the song...)
we're going away...

A Speedy Car
I don't know where
the Cameras are everywhere

Across the road
onto the sand?
every class has little girls?

Rethink

Control nothing
We'll be seated

From the sky would fall an incessant rain of bombs
We had nowhere to go but retrieve underground
Our ground had been peppered with a load of mines
Growing our food was a risk at any time
The sudden brutality we had to confront
Forced us many years to a life into the ground
When I came out after having hidden for so long under
I found I was missing all sensation of sight
It was so dark underground we had seen no light for days
What was visible how there was the enemy
The fact that they were fighting against their better nature
Our voices had been buried to...
For we had not to speak a word for days on end
But what we learned was so strong
They could never win, they're wrong
Scared of Adolf, the right to kill
They went nowhere, had no wisdom
Humiliation came back flying into their face
They lost themselves
The right to kill, scared of Adolf
Right to be blind, nothing but trust
