lyrics

I haven’t slept for ages and my days get longer
 Hanging around, hanging around and nothing matters 
I cannot focus on anything, even for her 
There was a time, I had a goal and a shelter

It’s four o’clock, I grab a beer at the local shop
 Where is my mind ? No line to walk lost in a fog
 I’ve got so many things that I can’t get out of my head 
I’m a sad clown, giving no smiles, only headaches

Have a seat, take a sec’ and have a look behind 
The conclusion is not that fine 
You have nothing, you have nothing but the time you waste 
Finish that beer, put yourself to the test

It’s like being possessed,
you don’t control your thoughts or gestures 
The lack of sleep, the lack of ideas, the lack of trust 
But it’s OK cause you’ve heard you are pretty skilled
 At what you do, but you know that’s just a picture you give

Stop it now

Pop folk anglo-saxonne saupoudrée d'électro, conjuguant l'urgente folie d'artistes tel que Born Ruffians/Beck/Eels, avec les élégantes parenthèses des dandys Bowie ou Yorke. La part belle est, comme aux origines folk, faite à la voix et aux textes. Joyeuse et mélancolique, débraillée et exigeante, une musique à l'image des paradoxes qui nous habitent. ... more
