Cocorosie

No more of those beautiful boys
No more of those beautiful boys

Born illegitimately to a whore most likely
He became an orphan
Oh, what a lovely orphan
He was sent to the reformatory
Ten years old, it was his first glory
Got caught stealing from a nun
Now his love story had begun

Thirty years he spent wandering
A devil's child with dove wings
Oh, he went to prison
In every country he set foot in
Oh, how he loved - he loved prison
How awfully lovely was prison

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

His greatest love was executed
The pure romance was undisputed
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones

All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight

We don't need no baseball bats
We don't need no silver ghats
But we're gonna fight tonight
Put up your dukes and fight
Big brother's just standing on the side
Watching you flex your pride
But you know if they all jump in
Big brother's got your skin

The ice cream truck it sings no more
All the kids from school are keeping score
You swing and you duck and you hit the floor
But you gotta get up at least once more
Mama comes screaming down the stairs
Everybody looks but nobody scares
Mama can't believe that nobody care
It's her baby boy how do they dare
Mama says bitch come over here
If you're so tough you'll have no fear
But why's you bring your friends
And the whole damn school
To watch my baby boy go down like a fool

But brother says mama they're the same damn size
Got to let him grow up and get street wise
But mama says baby go get that bat
And come back down and beat some ass

Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight

One wrong move and it'll be too late
Mama won't be making no birthday cake
It all went down one afternoon
In Brooklyn

Lead canoes collide inside
Pocahontas came to me in a reverie
War paint and tobacco stains
Piss on the earth
A pile of dead men
A pile of dead, dead men

Bear hides and buffalo
Mildew with fever
In a time of wintryness
Naked bronze trembling queen
Stolen from Egypt
Buried in England
Island of the blue dolphin

I fell in love with a bad bad man
And ever since I met him I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
A criminal in your prayer
I watch you when you sleep
Even when you're not there
Rainbows wept color all over the street
When you went away, maybe one day we'll meet
Lipstick I'd wear for one million years
Just to stop your eyes from falling them tears

I fell in love with a bad bad man
And every since I met him I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
I'm a criminal in your prayer
I watch you in your sleep
Even when you're not there
Rainbows wept color all over the street
When you went away, maybe one day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day we'll meet

One day
Yes, maybe we
Will meet

C'est l'histoire d'un homme
Au coeur de bois
La mer est calme
Sous l'ecran de la camera
Comme une ampoule electrique grillee
Dans un seau d'eau

The sea is calm through the video camera
Like a dead light bulb
In a bucket of water
Yes, in a bucket of water

The sea is calm through hand made lenses
Like animals in a soundless dream
Like animals in bottles of butter
A miniature sailboat, tin foil and paper
The waves are big and there's a warm wind

Il est sous le feu des projecteurs
D'un soleil casse
Il a jette son corps comme une ancre
Comme un morceau de sucre
Et s'est dissout

He's in the spotlight of a broken sun
He dropped his body like an anchor
Like a lump of sugar
And he dissolved

On the anniversary of his death
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale

Pour l'anniversaire de sa mort...

Thank You God for this fine day
Bless all the children of the world
And thank You for the plants
And the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

I want to give you my milk
I want to give you my milk
Yes I want to give you my milk

And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

Let's all gather at Time Square
And lets all say a prayer
To Walter Disney and Mike Tyson
At Madison Square Garden

And the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

And Jesus said they're a girl's best friend
And hell they'll last forever
And Jesus said now take her hand
And raise this harlot's bastard sun

And the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

And afterwards we'll all go to hell
When the money's all spent
When the money's all gone
There'll be a place for us in Heaven's gate
Waiting for us on lay away

And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds

And oh what a pity the world's not white
And oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be all white

And oh what a pity the world's not white
And oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be all white

Cuando el sol cambia color
Cuando el sol cambia su color

(Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille...)

Il fut un temps ou rien n'etait eteint
Ou seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j'etais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence
Dans ce decor je me sens perdu, rien n'a plus de sens.

Mais j'ai encore quelques reves et si tant est que j'aie le temps
J'irai caresser leurs levres... j'ai encore quelques reves
Et si tant est que j'aie le temps j'irai caresser leurs levres.

Il fut un temps ou rien n'etait eteint
Ou seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j'etais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence
Dans ce decor je me sens perdu, car rien n'a plus de sens.

Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille
Je me sens de taille
Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille
Je me sens de taille
Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille

(Je suis un enfant
Je refuse le temps)

Je regarde le ciel et cet arc-en-ciel qui m'apaise
Je regarde la lumiere et puis j'erre dans mes reves

Oublier le temps
Rester un enfant.

I undressed you with my eyes I have
Maybe even raped you
In a dark and eerie corner of my mind
I tucked you there
And touched you in a dream last night
Pushed you aside when you entered
My thoughts at the wrong time

I have sat up upon your lap and
Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
I rode you on a chair and in the shower
And all the while I clung heavy to your back
My desire deeply harnessed in your spine

While I squeezed you like a tree trunk
You may have been one
Sexless and comfort in your mind
Even barer than a child's
I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid
Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal
Yearning that stirs
Deeply pulsing up toward the surface
Like sap rising or honey or tar

Tiny spirits in a k-hole
Bloated like soggy cereal
God will come and wash away
Our tattoos and all the cocaine
And all of the aborted babies
Will turn into little bambies

Wounded river push along
Searching for that desert song
And Mozart's requiem will play
On tiny speakers made of clay
Tell my mother that I love her
Martin Luther, you're an angel

Charming monkey, saunter swagger
Drunken donkey, limbs disjointed
Your chest is a petting zoo
Mexican pony, fucked up shoes
I dreamt one thousand basketball courts
Nothing holier than sports

Dragonfly, kiss your tail
Precious robot, built so frail
Universe of milk and ember
Your hot kiss in mid-December
What's God's name? I can't remember
Through the crack eye lovely weather
Through the crack eye lovely weather

Tiny spirits in a k-hole
Bloated like soggy cereal
God will come and wash away
Our tattoos and all the cocaine
And all of the aborted babies
Will turn into little bambies
