ON THE BRIGHT SCALE

a thousand lights
oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo
they're moving slow to land
they're turning back to stand
a thousand lights turned off
a thousand slights turned off
their seasons of love
oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo
and then they need to lay
and then they lay to stay
a thousand clouds of love
a thousand clouds of love
they didn't hear to hold
mmm mmm mmm mmm
mmm mmm mmm

on the bright scale
I try to turn off the fan
the tape goes slow goes fast
pictures go slow go fast
my child tells me not to...
oh drift on the large scale
people get closer and fade
they seem to run away
I look younger than I do
people go slow go fast
oh is this you on the bright scale
on the bright scale, on the bright scale
my child tells me not to
make a sigh and die
oh is this you
on the bright scale

out of there
it's out of there
out of there out of there
you say you lost my name
you try to call my name
and when I think of you
you're pretending, a sign
and you do call my heart out of there
you try to cure my wounds
with words you don't know
and if you think of me
I'm out of there
try to get my words
I'm pretending to die
and when you touch my arms
I'm out of there
out of there out of there…

save my language
I'll never fight again to be yours
be my language
I'll never fall again to call your eyes
be my language
I'll never change again to be yours
be my language
I'll never let you die my sweet love
save my language
save my language
save

goutte d'or experience
here I step alone
here I stand alone
walking on the avenue
give me summer goutte d'or experience
here I walk alone
here I drift alone
swim among the lovers
give me summer goutte d'or experience
here I fall alone
here I lay alone
the daydream change the others
give me summer goute d'or experience
papa papa papa papa
papa papa papa papa
papa papa papa papa…

always like that
it's always like that
feel all the same
it's always like that…
but maybe I'm wrong
feel always like that
it's always like that…
anytime, anyhow,
everything is anyway always sad
I'm trying to move
this useless armor
against invisible rains
it's always like that…
anytime, anyhow,
everything is anyway always sad
a proper scandal
a useless scandal
for we misunderstood
just a movie quarrel
it's always like that…

eli said
come on, let it spin, it's part of the game
all troubles are gone and the season is done
eli said, eli said
citizen float, all lights turned off
I'll meet you at ten, I'll meet you later
and we all got enough
charms are clear and shadows return
we all swallow the smoke and follow the sun
eli said eli said
we all got enough
we all turn dumb
what should we say
we all cope with this mess
we claimed
eli said
come on, let it spin, it's part of the game
all troubles are gone and the season is done

oh I know different kinds of men s
some wear tall hats but no shoes
have I ever mentioned before
that one of then has open a shop
where they do the skies
have I ever said that the rules will never change

she's back in town
she dresses in dark colors
she has big black hair
sophisticated walker
she's back in town, she's back in town
sophisticated walker,
we used to hang around
remember her bright skirts
and favorite records
she's back in town, she's back in town
have you seen her do you know her numbers
she says she's an actress
and maybe a goddess
she's back in town…

REAL SEASONS MAKE REASONS

few seconds a day
we only talk few seconds a day
we only share small minutes a year
I know it's worse with the days going shorter
I know it's worse with the years sliding fast
we only try few minutes a day
we only fight few hours a year
I know it's worse with the days going longer
I know it's worse with the years sliding fast
I see you I see you running like a horse
I see you barking like a dog
don't forget me for real don't forgive me for real
don't you slide don't you slide for real
I see you I see you biting like a dog
we only talk few seconds a day
we only share small minutes a year
I know it's worse with the days going shorter
I know it's worse with the days sliding fast.

southern sister
I am not that tall
I am not blonde at all
I should have sent a mail
distance made me change
what have you done to your hair?
what have you done to your face?
what about your lips
make up makes me think
the description was wrong
distance was so long
what have you done to your hair?
what have done to your face?
I am not the one I am not so close
I should have sent a mail
distance made me change
ooh southern sister

we all look the same
how many days have I left behind me
how many days to reach the skyline
oh I know oh I know your design
shades of gray in your eyes
Fainting lash to catch my smile
oh I know oh I know your design
cos we all look the same
how many liters of fuel should I poor into my car
how many steps to reach my car
oh I know oh I know your design
cos we all look the same
I'm wearing my best suit and you're calling friends of mine
for a party at your place, for a party at your place
oh I know oh I know your design
cos we all look the same.

you & polly, my family
there we could all lay down
to go now as many times before
as many sins before
as many crimes before
ttere I go we could only try
to get out of this bar
t o get out of this car
to get out of this scar
we only try to be so close
and now you know the day is so short
I'd cry so much, I'd cry for you
there, you and polly, my family
there where I could always stay
there I lose control and stay out
and still renounce my name
for something that will remain.

To the East
you see, you say your people don't talk
you say your people don't live
you take the road with your hands
hitch hiking with your heart
you say you're heading east
you say your family is far
escaping from these modern seas
you see your life in the east
like little animals in these trees
you follow the signs to the east
the direction is not clear
but anyway you'll reach a goal
And all the rest is the past
standing so close to the main goal
standing so close to the main track
standing so close to your own choice
full fool fool time.

there we go
there we go out
there we stay out
I could reflect you all
I could betray you all
now please get out of me

I'm the weathercock
I have been stretching my arms out
as a symbol for the second time
it's my entire conspiracy
to draw back and shake my body
pressing & touching may split me from my friends
we always ordered the same menus
I'm the weathercock
fading inks Mouth blurs - two taps
white surface - two lights
shut up - One Light
shut up - No light
black surface Mouth saying
fading links Fading links Fade

9. Falling trees
falling trees make me think of a vision
I used to have ten thousands miles away.
I know one can drive fast cars in this land.
promise not to drive in 4 hours.
take a break in a restaurant
and time to smoke a cigarette.
the new engine sings a new tune.
car lights flash.
twenty two seconds
before the crash.

reminds
Is that your fate?
please remind me
is that your fate?
remind me
the icon is real
that's why we say
it reminds me.
that's why we stay
remind me
icon is real
beside, on the main road…

case if
you've got to prove this
you've got to save this
while I'm not that close to you
it's not the case if
I'm not so close if
you give me such a chance to change
children say it's not yours it's mine
if you dare me to stay I'll betray and go
if you dare me to go
I stay there so close but live lone.

bus #28
oh I remember we met
we met at the bus station number 28
didn't really see your face and the color of your eyes
anyway you were not a ghost
oh I remember we met we met at the bus station number 28
now I'd love to put my life
on the top of your head
but weights always fall
oh I remember we met
we met at the bus station Number 28
I should have learnt your language
before I tried tried tried
before I tried tried tried
before I tried tried tried
before I tried tried tried

my number one
don't your really know my name
If you hardly reach my eyes
I'll see you walking. I'll see you drowning
can't you really search and spy.
If you hardly reach my size
I'll see you falling. I'll see you drifting
oh my number one
I hardly know you
but every word you say
is good for me and you
oh my number one I hardly know you
I know every word you say by heart by heart by heart
don't you really know my name
don't you really know my name
I'll see you falling. I'll see you drifting
