Lyrics for Le Cri
Je marche dans la rue, la nuit est là mais je ne sais pas
Je ne sais pas où je vais, ce que je fais, ce que je suis
Je marche dans la rue, et cette angoisse ne me quitte plus
Et je me sens soudain étrange, et ce soir j’entends des voix
Ecoute, écoute bien, tu vas entendre ce que personne n’a entendu
Ecoute, ne bouge pas, écoute bien, tu vas entendre crier la nuit
Sa misère, en face des hommes terrorisés
Je marche dans la nuit, seul avec mes rêves
La lune brille au fond du ciel et me tient hypnotisé
Je marche dans la nuit, toujours plus loin dans cette forêt
Et tout me semble soudain étrange, et ce soir on entend des voix
Ecoute, écoute bien, tu vas entendre ce que personne n’a entendu
Ecoute, ne bouge pas, écoute bien, tu vas entendre crier la nuit
Sa splendeur, en face des hommes terrorisés
Je marche dans la rue
Les gens me croisent mais ne me voient pas
Je veux entendre crier la nuit
Je marche dans la rue, les gens me croisent mais ne me voient pas
Ancrés dans leurs vieilles habitudes, la nuit criera, ils n’y croiront pas
Ils gueuleront contre leurs voisins, n’admettront pas qu’ils n’y comprennent rien
Et même si tout devient étrange, et que ce soir on entend des voix
Ecoute, écoute bien, tu vas entendre ce que personne n’a entendu
Ecoute, ne bouge pas, écoute bien, tu vas entendre crier la nuit
Le massacre de tous les hommes à ses pieds

Lyrics for The Heretic
A summer night he got pissed
He told people he was an heretic
He was just a man among the millions
That we’re in the abject, fucking world
Worrying ‘bout nuclear war
Looking for something, always waiting
I guess it couldn’t have been better
Alone in the dark the heretic prays
For his existence and for his life
He prays the lord for the souls
And bodies lost in the quicksands
So sat behind the altar
Burning candles, drowning flees
Alone in the dark the heretic cries
Asking his mum to come at his side
To show him her love
Take him in her arms
To shield him from other men
Ooooh baby don’t you cry
Mother will help you
Mother will guide you
Ooooh baby blue
Mother will help you
Mother will guide you
Mother will keep you
Cosy and warm under her wings
Mother will
Mother will

Lyrics for She UZ
She listens just behind herself
She can hear them, hear them breathing
Her voice just echoes through the rain
No one comes, no one comes
Nobody came though they all heard
Nodody cares: there’re not concerned
In their own daughters being slaughtered
Right at their doorstep
So help her ! fight for her !
At night she used to cry
She used to walk in the town
At night she used to shout
And she died stabbed by the knife of Enara
Dying she write on the pavement
What she used to love
What she used to think
With her shaking shaking shaking hand dipped in her blood
And I’ll walk the streets to find the corpse
That I used to love
That I used to kiss
I’ll lick the wound, I’ll drink the blood every last drop of it
I’ll love her ashes
Ashes ! ashes !
At night she used to cry

Lyrics for "F"
The ink of the night is looking for my eyes
But there’re elsewhere with you
I guess your face, I guess your body, so close to me
You look so strange
Your eyes stare at me through infinity
And nail me against the surrounding wall
So why don’t you wanna imagine what we could live together?
Under a black moon, I’ve seen your face
Your beautiful face shining like gold
Under a black moon, I wanted to touch you
I wanted to caress you but your were gone for long
(Under a black moon there’re clouds over our heads and rain falls into my dreams and I wait for your puff to take me away and I scream and I scream words of despair but rain keeps falling and I’m a drop, falling down as silence reigns)
So why don’t you wanna imagine what we could live together?
I sung all night, I sung for you
Oh dragonfly, oh brittle hope
I sung all night, I sung for you
Forgotten words, bloody words
I sung all night, to say something
Which meant nothing except there’s no
Miracle

While the desert burns her innocence,
Alice is playing sitting in some pool of sorrow
She watches lights go out on the ruins of her world
In her dreams
She dances all day with a blue-eyed cat
Still the death toys that are in her little hands
Alice – the strawberry girl
Alice – the pumpkin girl
Alice – is playing with matches
Alice – the strawberry girl
Alice – the pumpkin girl
Alice – we don’t want you to die
And in the evening the sun sets
Life has burnt her in a sense
Alice explains, living it like [there’s] no tomorrow
Keeps matches to light a fire on the ruins of her world
Well she doesn’t care, dwelling on dreams
Wasting away with her blue-eyed cat
Hold the death toys warmly in her little hands
Alice – the strawberry girl
Alice – the pumpkin girl
Alice – is playing with matches
Alice – the strawberry girl
Alice – the pumpkin girl
Alice – we don’t want you to die
And in the evening the sun sets
And in the evening the sun sets
And in the morning the sun rises
And in the evening the sun sets
And in the morning the sun rises
And the world ain’t listening
And the world keeps spinning
And in the morning the sun rises
And in the evening the sun sets

Wanna kiss you kiss you kiss you kiss
Kiss you like I never did
Kiss you like I did before – I wanna drown in you
Kiss you tonight for this
Kiss you tonight like that
Kiss you like I never did – I wanna drown in you
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
And I don’t wanna long for you so soon as tonight
Set us free from lust
Oh please me please me please me please
Please me like you never did
Please me like you did before – I wanna drown in you
Please me tonight for this
Please me tonight like that
Please me like I never did – I wanna drown in you
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
And I don’t wanna long for you so soon as tonight
Set us free from lust
Oh shake it shake it shake it shake
Shake it like you never did
Shake it like you did before – I wanna drown in you
Shake it tonight for this
Shake it tonight like that
Shake it like I never did – I wanna drown in you
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
And I don’t wanna long for you so soon as tonight
Set us free from lust

Hands

Laying on the bed in the kitchen
I can feel my brain spinning: there’re hands on me
I shake and see through your smoke
Looking for some sweet fingers in my hair
My body falls in this empty and moist torpor
Something like a heat wave flooding down my face
I felt so small into your hands
Sweet oh sweet meek hands on me
Voices spurred
Beyond my eyelids I hardly see you – live
I’m looking forward to the day it will happen
Still I don’t know what it is - is
I’m all alone in this shrinking room
Lost in a crowd though there’s none here but you
When will your hands stop crushing me
Crush crush crush crush
Oh may the sun never set anymore
Oh may we never feel cold again
Take out your hands never stop caressing me
Let your fucking hands on me
