Paroles de "Edna Frau" à "Hymne à l'Amour"
Edna Frau - Jeff a écrit cette chanson avec Mick Grondhal et la chantait en duo avec lui.
To cross the ocean and to look down
This pipe love is rushing to a city bed
Then wires stream into a open (??)
Take hold of Jude , she’s coming downI made like I didn’t tell you
Don’t tell itWhen will you wash the bodies
Two seven numbers with the happy
Take a leave and join me on the water’s edge
I would let you if only I could assist your deathI made like I didn’t tell you
When they call me
I made like I didn’t tell you
When they call meBut cry, oh , your life
Don’t go blind (??)
Cry ... Go blind (??)
To get outNow my sister , you didn’t know how
Everyone needs (??)
All my children are acting out
Crawling to bed with Edna Frau
Eternal life is now on my trail
Got my red glitter coffee man, just need one last nail
While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
There’s a flaming red horizon that screams our namesAnd as your fantasies are broken in two
Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you
You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life
Eternal angelRacist everyman, what have you done
Man, you’ve made a killer of your unborn son
Crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
All I wanna do is to love everyoneAnd as your fantasies are broken in two
Did you really think this bloody road would pave the way for you
You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life
Eternal angelThere’s no time for hatred, only questions
What is love ? Where is happiness ? What is life ? Where is peace ?
When will I find the strength to bring me release ?
Tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said ?Man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
And I’ve get a message for you and your twisted hell
You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life
Eternal angel
Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in meTwenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in meI’m only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all awayHmm, such a thing of wonder in this crowd
I’m a stranger in this town
You’re free with me
And our eyes locked in downcast love
I sit here proud
Even now you’re undressed in your dreams with meOh, I’m only here for this moment
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all awayI know the tears we cried
Have dried on yesterday
The sea of fools has parted for us
There’s nothing in our way
My loveDon’t you see, don’t you see ?
You’re just the torch to put the flame to all our guilt and shame
And I’ll rise like an ember in your nameI know I, I know I
I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
Oh let me show you
That love can rise, rise just like embersLove can taste like the wine of the ages, oh babe,
And I know they all looks so good from a distance
But I tell you I’m the oneI know everybody here, well, thinks he needs you
Think he needs you
And I’ll be waiting right here just to show you
Everyday People – Sly and The Family Stone
Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm inI am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a blue one who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee
Oh sha sha - we got to live togetherI am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me you know me and then
You can't figure out the bag l'm inI am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee
Oh sha sha-we got to live togetherThere is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks
Oh sha shaI am everyday people
Faith Salons – JB & Brenda Kahn - On la retrouve sur l‘album de Brenda Kahn ‘’Destination Anywhere’’
In the faith salons they do your nails for fifteen dimes a bottle , where someone in the darkness waits for your arrival. In the Faith Salons the deals are struck , making heroes out of dust and clay. The man gives you sixtyseconds on the dollar , and walks away. In the middle of your book of agesyou write your dreams down to the letter. Tired of second chances and singlesdances . Her robes were purple velvet feeling like the king of Cairo . Prisoners to fools and slaves to paper gods. In the faith salons… Thebook of massacres and naturals disasters , beguiled by belligerence learnedfrom the dancing masters. The child on the train was a mimic of babble. Themother knitted sweaters that the child would unravel . In the faith salons… They have medicines for madness , madness caused by drugs, something foryour headache and a spray to kill the bugs. You walk thecatwalk of polyphony, and your charades of destiny . To whose myth of creationwill you finallyfall upon your knees and cry for forgiveness denied . Inthe faith salons… She’d appear like a belligerent ghostin my dreams ,in my living room , all torn apart and blue , where the ribbonsflew and thesky tore like a sheet of rain , of dust. Peace is a distantmirage wherethe only truth is the path and chance the only landmarkin the desert.Sleeping in doorways.
Underneath the falling frescoes , she’d said , it’s your pain. In the faith salons…
Farewell Angelina
The bells of the crown
Are being stolen by bandits
I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles
And the trumpets play slow
Farewell Angelina
The sky is on fire
And I must goThere's no need for anger
There's no need for blame
There's nothing to prove
Ev'rything's still the same
Just a table standing empty
By the edge of the sea
Farewell Angelina
The sky is trembling
And I must leaveThe jacks and the queens
Have forsaked the courtyard
Fifty-two gypsies
Now file past the gaurds
In the space where the deuce
And the ace once ran wild
Farewell Angelina
The sky is folding
I'll see you in a whileSee the cross-eyed pirates sitting
Perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans
With a sawed-off shotgun
And the neighbors they clap
And they cheer with each blast
Farewell Angelina
The sky's changing color
And I must leave fastKing Kong, little elves
On the rooftops they dance
Valentino-type tangos
While the make-up man's hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
Not to embarrass anyone
Farewell Angelina
The sky is embarassed
And I must be goneThe machine guns are roaring
The puppets heave rocks
The fiends nail time bombs
To the hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like
I will never deny it
Farewell Angelina
I must go where it's quiet
And drinking dust
With eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home
Cause you're better off alone than with meSo hide your face
And tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon
You'll become a fool for words when i speakFlutter girl
You don't want to know what I’ve lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for freeYou don't want to know what I’ve lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for freeMy hands are rough
My fingers cold
Your heart's so young and so naive
To ever feel
For a moment that I might let you believeI'll melt your smile
I'll tear your wings
I'll color everything you see
So flutter home
Cause you're better off alone than with meFlutter girl
You don't want to know what I’ve lived
You don't want to take what i give
Cause I give nothing for freeAnd you don't want to know what I’ve lived
You don't want to take what I give
Cause I give nothing for freeFlutter girl
You don't want to know what I’ve lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for freeYou don't want to know what I’ve lived
Flutter girl
Flutter girl
Forget Her - Cette chanson a été enregistrée durant les sessions de Grace et elle devait apparaître sur l ‘album, mais elle a finalement été remplacée par So Real.
While this town is busy sleeping
All the noises died away
I walk the streets to stop my weeping
But she'll never change her waysDon't fool yourself
She was heartache from the moment that you met her
My heart feels so still
As I try to find the will to forget her somehow
Oh I think I've forgotten her nowHer love is a rose pale and dying
Dropping her petals and then I know
All full of wine the world before her
But sober with no place to goDon't fool yourself
She was heartache from the moment that you met her
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her somehow
She's somewhere out there nowOh my tears are falling down as I tried to forget
The love was a joke from the day that we met
All of the words, all of her men
All of my pain when I think back to when
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun
It was there on the bed when I knew what she'd done
Tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her againDon't fool yourself
She was heartache from the moment that you met her
Oh my heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her somehow
She's out there somewhere nowOh…
She was heartache from the day that I first met her
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget you somehow
Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now
Good Morning Little Schoolgirl – Lightnin’ Hopkins
Good mornin' 'lil school girl
Can I go home , can I go home with you ?
Tell your mother and your father
I'm a little school boy tooWoke up this mornin'
Woke up this mornin'
I didn't know what to
I didn't know what to do
I didn't have no blues
Baby, bit I couldn't be satisfiedI'm gettin' me an airplane
I'm gettin' me an airplane
Get in my airplane
Gon' fly all oh-oh, gon' fly all over this land
I'm gonna find my little school girl
Find her in the world somewhereGood mornin' 'lil school girl
Good mornin' 'lil school girl
Can I go home with , can I go home with
Can I go home with you ?
Tell your mother and your father
Johnny little school boy tooCome be my baby, come be my baby
I buy you a diamond, I buy you a diamond ring
You don't be my little baby
I ain't gonna buy you a doggone ring
There’s the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Well it’s my time coming
I’m not afraid to dieMy fading voice sings of love but she cries
To the clinking of time
Oh time
Waiting in the fireAnd she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine , we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and I believe my time has come
It reminds me of the pain
I might leave , leave behind
Wait in the fireAnd I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I’m not afraid to go but it goes to slow
Don't you wanna let go of your heart
Or you resist the beds of bliss
Fortune makes fools of us all
My dear materialista , silence was insane
The parting was mutual
Don't you want the rocket to rock out ?
There's room for us both to fly
Tell the man I'm never coming back again
Tell the man I'm never coming back again
Why should you notice at all ?
Gone again beside you will fall
Down to the sea out of the skies
Of gold cards and casual tears
I have only come to see you shine
Feminine smiles the right side is wise, more than I
I wanna be your lover
Lipstick my name across your mirror
Blood red with flaked gunshot glitter
And be one with all you disowned in your young life
You paranoia politician diva
You paranoia politician divaWill you let go of your heart
Left behind a hypnotizing swirl
The semi's left behindDon't you want to rocket to rock ?
There's room for both of us to fly
Same show everyday, don't have to blow up in the sky
So I just came from Hicks town
Left my coins behind
Maybe some poor cloths pony will himself a life
Why should you care if I crash your affair ?
Why should you notice me ? I really wanna see you shineI wanna be your lover
Lipstick my name across your mirror
Now, be one with all you disown
True love has come to us all
Blinded by the flame, right side smiles
Organized male, love, my silence was insane
The parting was mutual the moment I became
A paranoia politician diva
A paranoia politician diva
A paranoia politician diva
A paranoia politician diva
Diva , diva , diva
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music , do you ?
Well it goes like this
The fourth , the fifth , the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujahHallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you need proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cuts your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujahHallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Baby I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujahThere was a time when you let me know
What really going on blow
But now you never show that to me do you ?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujahWell maybe there’s a god above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody out drew you
It’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who‘s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujahHallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah - Live from the Bataclan
It’s not what you’re told
It’s not her face
It’s not her touch
In the room you both share
Where he’s gone
When he loved
When your time
And your memory fills your dreams
When you’re honest and together
Together no more
No more
Hallelujah
Until you’re nothing
Hallelujah
Baby, until you’re everywhere
Hallelujah
Until together you are somewhere I’d lost
Hallelujah hallelujah . . .Hallelujah - Cabaret Metro , video Live at Chicago
It’s not the battle
It’s not her face
It’s not the needle
Of the viol
It’s not the powded
Of the evening
We’re strangers
And there are many
Thinking by
Till the time
When you were together
So honest
So perfect
And adored
No more
No more
Hallelujah baby
Until you are nothing
Hallelujah baby
Until she is everywhere
Hallelujah
Till together
You are somewhere

Harem Man -C’est une chanson composée et chantée par Jeff à l’époque des Gods & Monsters , le groupe qu’il avait monté avec Gary Lucas. La transcription des lyrics est vraiment approximative. Si un anglophone confirmé se sent d’attaque pour des rectifications qu’il n’hésite pas !

I told you what you want me told
Cause I love and I need you
Your wish is my command
Have you heard this talk about eye contact
Gonna be the downfall of this town
First the photographs take you to the right hands
Leads you to the authority moldParanoia will write the world prayer
Make sure that you fit in the right holes
But when you take his offer, you’re done for
Done for, done for, ooohPhantoms in pockets, we’re in panic
Making order in total disgust
Oh, they read a list of all who cannot stay
Take you down, on the groundParanoia will write this world prayer
Make sure that you fit in the right holes
But when you take his offer, you’re done for
Done for, ooohMake sure you learn to beware your neighbour
Bolt the doors and hire your guards
Suck your life with their virus called language
Someone told you this all would go down
And the last thing you see is the luster
Hold the razor, goodbye to your friends
Would your underground please call the mayor
Call the neighbour, call your friendsParanoia will write the world prayer
Make sure that you fit in the right holes
But when you take his offer, you’re done for
Done for, done for, ooohWell, when he first saw you
You’d need no protection
Eyes trained on your mouth
You’ll learn to take him
Hmmm, It’s a brand new power, ohMy friends had her questions right
Beware your neighbour
Haven’t you heard, haven’t you heard
That we’re done for, oh
Learn to beware your neighbour
And the right mode
Haven’t you heard?
Haven’t you heard
That we’re done for, done for ? OhWhen I count down from ten
You’ll feel the lead in your lids
You’ll have no need to exist
And wake up refreshed
If the sun should tumble from the sky
If the sea should suddenly run dry
If you love me, really love me
Let it happen darling, I don’t careShall I catch a shooting star
Shall I bring it where you are
If you want me to, I willYou can set me any task
I’ll do anything you ask
If you love me, love me stillWhen at last, our life on earth is through
I will spend eternity with you
If you love me, really love me
Let it happen darling, I won’t care
