lighthouse 08:34
Let's drive to the lighthouse, 405 is at full speed, Look back there's the city, Windows down goodbye. 35 years in a couple of boxes New seeds and colored frames And the sound of your voice fades into the wild While the kids just fell asleep, alright.

restless 06:52
Dogged chess players to a draw Faithful to their beloved square, I watch but I feel lost Sunset's prom' on a weekday Feeling alone on the city's concrete I walk but I'm lost Some terrible love hooked on discount Standing quiet at the corner I'm there but I feel lost Being lost is one of my favorite feelings In this foreign town every street just look the same It’s a restless night on the edge of time

monochromes 04:49
Il n'y a pas de temps L'urgence nous suspend Sur tous les écrans Les images aimantent Nos yeux n'ont de cesse De nourrir la terreur Nous sommes tous de l'ordre des sauvages Et contre la peur J'écoute ma paresse Je me pose à l'ombre d'un Soulages Je m'endors au creux d'un orage Je me pose à l'ombre d'un Soulages

13 hours on the train From Paris to Venice t's better than a cheap flight From Paris to Venice Maybe you're out of your character but This summer dont start trite And I'm watching you diving in a flawless wave Called nothing Paris fades away Milan fades away And I'm gonna crash In the Adriatic sea

Sommes-nous bien à l'abri au sommet de l'échelle ? On a fait la mainmise sur des mers de poussière On se croit tout permis à l'orée d'un échec Sommes-nous bien à l'abri au sommet de l'échelle ?

south 04:03
You flinch on the first swing The ball was fast, the tag was late The times they are a changin' As you figured out still waters run deep You never read Hemingway Like you don't listen to what I say And you're fucking clueless, the kids we were are damn dead. It’s a stupid nonsense like filling voids with light lead So I'm cranking up some ideas to move on South 'Cuz I'm turning up 32 and I have'nt seen much is what I think

henry 09:03
He paused in a middle of a joke, The smell of mice and dust was all over and outside the black pavement was wet from the spring rain giving something else to breathe to all the people in the room. Echoes of laughter eluded by the window. He glanced at his collection of 7 inches, a form of art that he’ll pass on to his children. He got up, pins and needles in his legs and watched his audience still waiting for the punchline. He needed a transition. He pointed out Pulp, not the zines, the book. “Some people just write stories till they die” he shouted, “and I have nothing that will keep me up to my old days”. We ‘re Just a bunch of people addicted to multinational products waiting for nothing. We drink and eat shit.” He became delusional. And stumbled as anger started to pour out of his body, his mouth being the fire exit. Hey Henry, slow down, his sister said. For once, I WILL NOT. He was standing, feeling the graciousness of the moment. As the world was listening to him. He proceeded in the most epic way. “Do you really think voting will change anything. You’re just damn fools.” Any form of government in any country of this world does not seek the greater good. Fuck democracy. The state is not the right scale. He felt like Moïse and was ready to go on a journey, travel from uni to uni to give the speech. But the drugs kicked in bad, in a final stroke, he added “and don’t you think climate change is the ONE thing we could all agree on?” He fainted and fell hard. The next morning, Henry forgot all about what he had said. The thinking of a rotten democracy. The belief of being unique and a free thinker. He needed rest and so he did, working on some new jokes while the 5th season of the Sopranos was on in the background of his living room.
