A Crossroad In Washington 06:28
lyrics
buy track
Verse 1: I met the devil at the crossroad between Pennsylvania Avenue and the seventeenth I was there to take some souvenirs In order to prove I’ve been here. During a stop in my travel to the South Where should have I been to get busy ? He stopped me while I was about to be arriving He made me an offer that was quite tempting… Chorus : Do you know what Washington wants my darling ? Oh yeah, he wants to be rich! Verse 2: He said Mississippi was old-fashioned, That I shouldn’t do like the Johnsons People no longer wanna hear great songs All they need is to watch affluence. He said he moved a long time ago, That this is from here he can rule the world now, That I can’t espace from the men’s faith That I can just choose to be a part of it. Chorus : Do you know what Washington wants my darling ? Oh yeah, he wants to be rich! Bridge : He told me I was lucky to meet him, that he was the one that can help me, I just had to take the oath of allegiance, and make me my new king. He told me it was the best road, if I didn’t wanna be left behind, To be a part of this brand new world, that he built himself with hiw own hands.. This is what Washington wants This is what Washington wants This is what Washington wants … Verse 3: I cannot deny I have hesitated Between going away and smashing his face. But I finally calmed down and explained That if I have to, I will do my scales. I sing my devil blues since yet, Focusing on some little bluettes I owe one to this poor little kid That couldn’t lock everybody… Chorus : Do you know what Washington wants my darling ? Oh yeah, he wants to be rich!

Disqualified 03:47

Verse 1: I’m on files for having smoked two spliffs, the day before I drove 4 miles Long hair, hoarse voice, green eyes, on my shoulder some scars, Black pants, brown shoes, front view, side view, fingerprints 7 times, I’m on files for having smoked two spliffs, the day before I drove 4 miles Chorus : I’m disqualified, treated for drug addiction, hello the public records, And I’m also fined £1000, and now I know what this is about ! Verse 2: I’ll have the honour of being introduced to the public prosecutor I will loose my time explaining to that guy how responsible I’m now ! I’m clean, thanks to him ! I no longer smoke two joints a month. Maybe I could disappear from the public records, and then I would find a job ! Chorus : I’m disqualified, treated for drug addiction, hello the public records, And I’m also fined £1000, and now I know what this is about ! I’m on files for having smoked two spliffs, the day before I drove 4 miles I’m on files for having smoked two spliffs, the day before I drove 4 miles I’m disqualified, I’m disqualified

Sweety Spider 05:24
lyrics

Verse 1 : It’s the worst disease I could get If I don’t take my meds It’s for my health they paid, Or I would have been dead. They said my life is sacred Thanks to their health care system I must never forget I’ll always need them Chorus : A little hole in my skin Just like a sweety spider Exactly what I wanted Now I feel better Verse 2: But to save me from danger They have to know where I were I am and I will be safe If I have no secrets left I can’t go wherever, There are mad people everywhere I can’t trust my neighbor What about a foreigner ? Chorus : A little hole in my skin Just like a sweety spider Exactly what I wanted Now I feel better Bridge : I don’t have yet any pain Since I missed vaccination campaigns I was in Mexico for holidays My boss gave me some free days I haven’t met any coughing spiders Solo unamujer with humor Now I became a laughing guy I can save myself from danger   Verse 4: What you can hear from my mouth And makes you afraid of closing Is not an unhealthy cough I can’t just stop laughing At you, meds consumers And your frightened behaviors Your fear of a simple bird Living through a Hitchcock work Chorus : A little hole in my skin Just like a sweety spider Exactly what I wanted Now I feel better

Keep Going 02:52
lyrics

Verse 1 : I’ve been taught how to use a gun How to know how would change the weather Old women now insult each other The mountains never get bored of that fun I don’t know where I am But I’ve been brought in such a place I now wonder if it was by some fate Or just those generous drivers Fighting the loneliness Needing to talk to me They know I won’t betray ‘Cause I’m gone already… Chorus : Two hundred miles free of charge A bit colder but as much sun Soldiers, woodcrafters, sailors Tell me the story of my world. Verse 2: They broke their boring lives And they will tell their wives What an adventure it was To share with me their daily miles Wherever you arrive The important is to reach it Who brought you in such a planet Mostly the fact you didn’t plan it Don’t ask for anything Just keep going Never stop, never rest, Just keep going Take what you’re given, don’t ask for anything, Don’t hope for anything, just take, And keep going ! Chorus : Two hundred miles free of charge A bit colder but as much sun Soldiers, woodcrafters, sailors Tell me the story of my world.

In 5 Minutes 06:02
lyrics

Verse1 : Everything gets calm and quiet Every single sound is muffled Our bodies are shaking with fear In a few minutes, we’re gonna charge in. It’s now too late to turn back We are now regretting being here. Looking for a way to slack Looking for a way to face fear We exchange what we’re gonna miss You know, in case we don’t make it. The last girl we’d have liked to kiss The last meal we’d have liked to eat One of us is going round in circles Myself I’m now leaving with it We were not made to go to the front We should have chosen to live for long ! Chorus : In five minutes, it’s getting closer, Maybe our last cigarette ever We thing about why we got there Wondering why we did this for a dare Verse 2 : Finally, this is the very moment Where everything ends We are gathering together Dying together is being a honor ! We heard that they have called our names, We are slowly climbing down the stairs Lights are flashy, and the room so loud ! Here we are on stage !!! Chorus : In five minutes, it’s getting closer, Maybe our last cigarette ever We thing about why we got there Wondering why we did this for a dare

Liberator Punch 03:57
lyrics

Verse 1 : Let I not move, freed from any fright In the quiet silence of the dark night. I’m waiting for the liberator punch The way to recovery after the crunch Let her arm not tremble, and stop hesitating, Cocking it slowly, measuring the trajectory, To perfectly scold that jaw, to have talked too much, I’m waiting for the liberator punch. Chorus : The suspense is at its peak Is this the end of the story? Is she preparing a new trick? Will she let me go eventually? Black-eyed, hurt, crying or, Kept worried for eternity ? I’m waiting for it, Let her make me crashed are free. Verse 2: Let I not defend myself, on no account, Whatever the blows I’m not able to count. I’m waiting for the liberator punch, To relieve those parts of me she didn’t munch Let my body be hers, as long as necessary, My flesh to her disposal, let her flay my skin. Since her violent drives are out of control, Let her ignite the spark on me, all sodden in petrol ! Chorus : The suspense is at its peak Is this the end of the story? Is she preparing a new trick? Will she let me go eventually? Black-eyed, hurt, crying or, Kept worried for eternity ? I’m waiting for it, Let her make me crashed are free.   Verse 3 : Let I be born again from this arson, proud of having faced my old demons Thanks to her liberator punch I’m not running away, I solved the crunch ! Let I not forget that story, Everybody to help is asking me But the black-eye is volatile So I scratch the wound to keep it immortal ! Chorus : The suspense is at its peak Is this the end of the story? Is she preparing a new trick? Will she let me go eventually? Black-eyed, hurt, crying or, Kept worried for eternity ? I’m waiting for it, Let her make me crashed are free.

Magellan's Dream 04:01
lyrics

Verse 1 : I had forsaken many times Chosen to surf back to the beach According to the piece of advice The fear of the sea in which There is plenty of biting fish Starving sharks and water-Nietzsche But the new goal to accomplish Is huge enough to get my foolish To get my foolish heart Chorus : Whatever the strengths of vibes I will no longer stop swimming Until I can cross the line That I’m expecting to reach Verse 2 : Despite the fear and the seasick, Despite the pain and the plastic Thrown like bombs to discourage My uncontrollable racing rage I won’t stop swimming anymore In order to get that big fish Living my own Burton’s tale A Magellan’s dream at my scale I wanna discover new lands I want them to get my name I wanna discover new lands I want them to get my name Like a Magellan’s dream. Chorus : Whatever the strengths of vibes I will no longer stop swimming Until I can cross the line That I’m expecting to reach

Verse 1: You came in a rowing boat Lucky, you avoided the bullets Tried to survive, To take part in our well-shaped system We are well qualified to do such a job And you are way more self-willed than me But I was born here, and this job is for me, I don’t want it, but you can’t have it Chorus : The grass is always greener At the other side of the fence But ours so high and full of barbed wire Oh nonsense ! Verse 2: All we have it for you is a charter flight Don’t have to pay anything, our nation’s generous Go back to your own town your fight Is none of our business here, we’re between us Once I came to your land I remind Even if I was told to be our my guards I spent a lot of money, that was helpful But you’re claiming for more again Chorus : The grass is always greener At the other side of the fence But ours so high and full of barbed wire Oh nonsense ! Verse 3 : We would have grass enough for you But you’ll gotta find another field Just in case one day we need it We won’t share our land with you ! Chorus : The grass is always greener At the other side of the fence But ours so high and full of barbed wire Oh nonsense !

The Wicked Are Far Away 06:31

Everything is gonna be alright I can be strong for both of us I wanna hear your breathe I want to feel you’re alive. You’re safe now, You can stop trembling My arms are yours as long as you need I wish I could stand it for you, At least I can give you protection. The wicked are far away This is time for greater dreams The night wants your smile, it seems You can fight those mean thoughts Laughing at those means… You can use my arm again also To dry your tears if you need so. You just have to promise me I will see you full of life, or simply asleep The wicked are far away This was a simple nightmare The wicked are far away Just you and me matters The wicked are far away No one can beat that lullaby Not even the worst monster There is no longer lies The wicked are far away The wicked are far away

Sad Tribute 04:21

Verse 1 : I walk slowly, as is tradition Everyone stands up, as is tradition My sister leads the procession The music is shabby, as is tradition We wait for an hour, as is tradition The man ends up, making us sit up Reads the extracts he had to choose Cut by a choir out of tune Chorus : This is a sad tribute To a very joyful one This is a black deacon For a very racist one Verse 2 : At the end, a personal move at last You’re allowed to do if you give at least A big coin, price for access To eternal life, and prove your faith I have to carry this stone So I can’t hug my mom, But no matter, She has God. And the friends can prove their friendliness And the bosses can prove their humanness And the family can prove its strength And the neighbors can prove their closeness Everyone carries up the duty of hypocrisy Everyone wears the mourning until tomorrow morning ! Chorus : This is a sad tribute To a very joyful one This is a black deacon For a very racist one

Revelation 05:59

Verse 1: I’m waking up in a bad mood today, It couldn’t have been worse with a hangover. I know a ghost will haunt me all day long, He’s a professor and he has a lesson. I’m feeling more in love than I was yesterday But yesterday I thought I was strong I know now I’d be able to stay Even if I had to share her tongue. Chorus : More than just a nightmare Last night I had a revelation I discovered I was weaker And closer than I thought to passion Verse 2: Should I fight fear or love? Should I take the plunge? Into this acid pool and no glove No glove to save my soul Will this song chase this ghost, And makes me do something ? If I have to be vulnerable, I don’t want to be responsible ! Chorus : More than just a nightmare Last night I had a revelation I discovered I was weaker And closer than I thought to passion
