(by Stevie Chick)

Blonde Redhead's last album - Misery Is A Butterfly - established them once and for all as one of the most distinctive and precious bands of their generation. It was a confident, thrilling and delicately-nuanced sweep of sound which enraptured the already-converted and won the band a whole new legion of fans. And although it marked a modulation away from the bittersweet starkness of previous releases, it was by far the most commercially successful release of the band's career, continuing a steady upward trajectory, which started well over a decade ago. In 2007, Blonde Redhead return with something even more spellbinding - 23. The new album is as rich and densely layered as the last one, but Misery's overall mood of wistfulness, melancholy and regret, has been replaced by one of mystical wonder and renewed energy. This shift in tone should not come as a surprise - as long-term observers will testify, a restlessness, a questing desire for change and for artistic expression has been a constant throughout the band's career. The graceful turbulence, the artful and dramatic songs of Blonde Redhead's self-produced seventh album mark it out as perhaps their most confident and resonant step yet in a discography marked by great records. Taking their name from a song by New York No Wave artists DNA, the band began playing and rehearsing in New York, drawing inspiration from the city's squalling underground scene, from movie soundtracks, everywhere they could. They caught the attention of Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley, who swiftly signed them to his Smells Like imprint, producing their self-titled debut album in 1994. Following 1995's self-produced La Mia Vita Violenta, the group signed to esteemed Chicago underground imprint Touch And Go, and found a new producer in Guy Picciotto, singer / guitarist for hardcore's deftly-nuanced figureheads Fugazi. The first fruit of their collaboration with Picciotto was the combustive, dissonant Fake Can Be Just As Good (1997) - a record which mixed scraped guitars and eerie synths with lyrics that referenced film-maker Pier Paolo Pasolini and Amedeo and Kazu's own relationship. A sequel, In An Expression Of The Inexpressible, followed a year later, further distilling Blonde Redhead's artful chaos.

The band's swansong for Touch And Go - 2000's Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons - marked a turning point in the group's sound, and also in their fortunes. The trio pared back the chaos and squall of their earlier records, putting more emphasis on their windswept, minor-key melodies. The album won them a wider acclaim than they'd ever enjoyed before, with European music fans getting their first real taste for the band. In 2003, they signed their first worldwide record deal with 4AD, the legendary UK indie label responsible for The Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance and many more. Their first album for the label, Misery Is A Butterfly, was ornate and deeply poignant, seeing Blonde Redhead take a further step away from the atonal attack of their earlier records; instead, their love for movie soundtracks (as key an influence throughout their career as the noise of No Wave) came to the fore. At the same time, a new context was emerging for the band - through their rehearsal space in Greenpoint, Blonde Redhead found themselves making connections with the vibrant Brooklyn scene centred on long-time BR fans TV On The Radio (Kazu contributed vocals to TVOTR's 2006 album Return To Cookie Mountain). Which brings us to 23. "We felt we'd been recording and playing long enough, that it was time to make an album on our own," remarks Simone, of their decision to produce 23 themselves. The group returned to the Magic Shop, the New York studio where they recorded La Mia Vita Violenta. Their plan was to be more spontaneous in their song-writing, to aim for simplicity and clarity, and not to over-analyse what they created. Thanks to this consciously-relaxed approach in the studio, the songs came quickly, but old tensions weren't entirely absent. Simone says he found entering the studio with loose ideas for the songs "nerve-wracking". Kazu admits that it "wasn't an entirely enjoyable experience. Without a producer, a "referee", we could really get on each other's cases. It got intense."

"We were very focussed on doing something we hadn't done before," agrees Amedeo. "But until we got to the mixing stage, we weren't sure what direction the album was taking at all. You have to have faith. You also have to really think about what you're doing; sometimes things happen by accident, and that's great, but most of the time you really have to work at it." Midway through recording, with the band feeling a little lost, producer Mitchell Froom (who has worked with American Music Club, Richard Thompson and Paul McCartney) stopped by the studio for a couple of days and helped them work on "Silently" and "Top Ranking". It was a crucial intervention, restoring their confidence and getting them back on track. The end result is the most striking, beautiful and resonant album of Blonde Redhead's career. Simone explains that the band worked intensely on orchestrating these songs, and the care shows in the gentle, touching glide of closer "My Impure Hair", where Kazu's sleepy-eyed yowl is couched upon keening synths, lulling guitars and soft percussion; in the hypnotic, tip-toed hush of 'The Dress'; in the sweeping drama of "Publisher". "This album is almost like all my fantasies and desires, all the feelings I had, were made real somehow," reflects Kazu, "I feel very lucky". Which explains, perhaps, the title - it's her lucky number. Title track "23" is hypnotic and rapturous - a hymn to the magic of change which sets the tone for the whole album - as is "Dr Strangeluv", another magical moment. "Silently" and "Top Ranking" are as emotionally resonant as anything the band have recorded, while uptempo moments like "Spring And By Summer Fall" and "SW" will take their place alongside long-time favourites "Melody Of Certain Three" and "In Particular" as highlights of the band's live set. "We've developed a lot", adds Simone. "It sounds fresh, because we are exploring new things. We get tired of doing the same thing all the time, so we search for other things to do. But I never get tired of our songs. It amazes me, how much tolerance I can have for our own music. I could never go through this with another band, with music that I wasn't 100% into."

I just want someone to pummel me into submission
This incurable fascination with being totally beaten up
I just want someone to slap me right in the mouth
Did you ever get cursed to while you were walking down the street?

Violent life

With a thousand kisses
Every moment is all mine
Come back this time

With a thousand kisses
One at time
You brought me crime

Every minute is mine

With a thousand kisses
I'm away
You brought me down

With a thousand kisses
Every second I think of you
Come back it's fine
Bring some wine
And leave my mind
Forever

With a thousand kisses
We share I don't care
I wish you down

With a thousand kisses
Every second I think of you
Come back it's fine
Bring some wine
And leave my mind forever

U.F.O.

Seeing you on the wall in my room,
It's so close to how I want
I never found the same as you
Listen you in my house on though
You're so gentle I try

I lie you lie
My friends told me stories of you
Driving wizards up and down
I never seen the same again
In vain, like it was yours
Far away, like you never meant to say,
I've got to stay
I can see a worlds
I can see the worlds
That belong to you
I don't need those words
I don't need those words say Sonic Youth...
Take me in, in such way
Take it all until the grace

Don't know why
Don't know why
Don't know why
Don't know why
Seeing you on the wall in my room,
It's so close to how I want
I never found... I never found... I never found...

I Am There While You Choke On Me

Shatter
I'm not
I know
Show me
To my
I meant
Your kinda chocolate
Wanna
Wanna
I wanna know
Wanna
Ah, yeah, baby!
Screamin' c'mon!

I'm not too sure
If you're my kinda guy
I don't know
Wanna hurt

C'mon
Wanna say
Wanna be saved
Wanna walk on
I wanna walk on
Walk on, you hear me?
Oh! Oh yeah, baby!
Need you here

Harmony

Harmony
You're jaded
I want you
Stick 'em up
Write the town
The wall
Harmony
You're jaded
I'm gonna
Stick it up
It's gonna
Write the wrong
No one is clear
Breathing you to his lungs
Three miles away
Walking under the sun

Down Under

Smaller, smaller he's so still
Which one is gonna make it make it to the madness
You are right for me protect me from what I want
I'm trying not to repeat myself
Down Under
Down Under
Down Under
Down Under
Smaller, smaller he's so stick
Which one is gonna make it make it to the madness
Since I'm far from you I did know, I didn't know
I want to keep myself to myself
Now, I know Now,
I know Down Under
Down Under .....
Down Under
Down Under
Down Under
Down Under

The way we go
All too soon
Way far away
From all we know
To all we deny
To see your smile
With a crown on your head
To meet those again
Not to be sincere
And all the cares

Nothing to share
I just want it back
I never thought to leave
To be so brave
Let's stand on a hand
With muscles relaxed
Even i could relax
To see you smile
For all my love
All this too soon
The way we go

After twelve long slow years gone by
You're still the only one
I cried when I saw you
Don't cry
I can find you when I can
I cried when I found you
[?]
Almost dead
Half-dead

If i could go away
I wouldn't go there
It's fine it's out
It's life
It's no surprise
If i were in love...
Don't care, just walk some miles
I kissed you on and on
And it's all wrong

To know that you are there
To turn you on
Again what could go wrong?
Take the eyes
I'd feed you on and on
And there's a song
If i were in love...
Don't care, just walk some back

Ten feet high
I can't fly and
Stand on
Facedown
Can't be gone
Fell for
Just not
Missing my luck
I have the figure of Virgin Mary

I can't stop my fall
For your eyes
Not for an hour
And not for your smile
Please don't be late
'Cause you know I can't wait
And don't complain and be insane

Kazuality

I want you too shy
One time one two slow
Kid and kiss one line
Get ahead get inside
I was wrong yes or no
King of skills rubber man
Kazuality

I want you to shout
One shout one down slow
Dance to the host with ambition
Learn to learn open wide
When we meet when we please
Get attacked get inside
Kazuality

One down one crown
No shame like a fire
Timeless fire
That burns
Me to you, you to me
Old love new idea

Symphony of Treble

Close your spine till you're a ball
Tihs is a good way to break off from the party
Pretend you're lost pretend you're dog
I know you can chew a shoe like a piece of steak

Now you can hide
Now you can seek
Like a pleasure treasure hunter killers
Why go home?

Shut your face, it makes no sense
Wrap your heart with all the nerves and veins
Am I not my body?
I seem to remember numbers figures details of this life

Now you can count
Now you can act
Like an enemy sister social worker
Are we damned?

Ego Maniac Kid

Your fault my fault i now forget
Your life my lies wouldn't be the last
I dive into plastic events
Apartment full of evidence

What's false to you was not false to me
Your time my time it all gets to me
You fake your name for reentry
Imagine greater sin

I want to live on the 5th story
I like to feel the thrill of day
Pretend you're meaner
Pretend you're busy
Too long for a promise
A show to start...ah

Another song
Just another way
To tear away

Your fault my fault i now forget
Your life my lies wouldn't be the last
I dive into plastic events
Apartment full of evidence

I want to live on the 5th story
I like to feel the thrill of day
Pretend you're meaner
Pretend you're busy
Too long for a promise
The end to stare at
I know i know
I want to reach like i've never...
I wait i know i'll wait
But i never...

I never...was
Another song
Just another way
I get away

Bipolar

Say wrong
I won't say anything...anyway
Fake can be just as good

Place you've never been
Patience on the way
Place you've never been
No way...anyway

Why then
You renew in so many ways
How far
Fake can be no flaw on the way
I know
I'm just a flaw...anyway
So I
Some space...and come back

I know good walk away
I need to shut away
What I throw away
I want your way

I know I get away anyway
I know it's hard to get ahead, boy

Say wrong
I won't say anything...anyway
Fake can be just as good

Place you've never been
Patience on the way
Place you've never been
No way...anyway

I know a man is somewhere..where?
Here I am, shot it again

I know you'd walk away
I need to shout away
What I throw away
I want your way

Pier paolo

Young man poet insane
For you I find myself alone too soon

Today you are in my way
18 a promising age
The sweetest act of life repeated till I bled

No salt no fear
Caoutiously with you
On detention
I submit and you smile

Unknown and uninvited
As for me my life today
Young man insane you are i pray
I pray to you..i pray
I am here alone with you
And one plus one the sun

A place in the world
An expression
No salt no fear
Caoutiously with you
On detention
I submit and you smile

K: "What? Do you want me?
What are you waiting?
Love was ill and
No...no...no!!"

"Say...what's your man and
Say...what's the magic?
Kill your sad expressions
Nobody should touch
What's in your heart!!"

A: "What I'm trying to sell
Isn't all the same.
And what is every side? Sensual?
And would be in distance
It's just a genuine need
For an average man
You and I nothing more
Than love what I love"

There's someone watching you

K: "Love all your sad expenses
Just a little more
Will you ever live it?
Will you ever know?"

What? Do you want me?
What are you waiting?
Love was ill and
No...no...no!!"

A: "What I'm trying to sell
Isn't all the same.

Luv machine

Freak fake cold old

Who else is new i want to believe
The way you do i still can't see
Love love love love that's all it is
Try my lines try my tricks
Why be artistic look at me to be linguistic to be domestic

This is the moment as for the future
I will be there and we will dare.

Distilled

As long as you hold on and hunger for my love
Not any other luv

Missile me puncture me
As long as you weave me into your day
As long as you remain...

Futurism vs. Passeism part 2

Le temps le plus important c'est la première fois
Le temps le plus important c'est la deuxième fois
Et après ça le troisième fois
Et on recommence

J'ai perdu les habitudes de ma jeunesse
Et je me senq désunis et à part de ma propre histoire
Et on recommence

Speed x distance = time

Corrupt temptation speed x distance equal time
Pain in my leg a needle pointing at neon
Let go unfriendly kiss shedding my scales off spread desire disappear
Drink up my sweat and screamed that I never wrote to you
I know you don’t have a girlfriend murdered old lady kick off kick slogan
Off don’t pay me anymore
Tell me tell me tell me that I woke up this morning kick off kick slogan
Off don’t pay me anymore

In An expression Of The Inexpressible

Anything that loose would cancel itself
Anything that loose would fall off my bed
I knew that, I knew that, I knew that
But i couldn't change it

I made up my mind and changed my mind
Made up my mind and changed it
Absence is good empty is reassuring
Absence presence
Submit to nothing

I made up my mind and changed my mind
Made up my mind and changed it
Absence is good empty is reassuring
Positive negative
Submit to nothing

In an expression of the inexpressible

I'm deceitful i'm dreadful i'm lazy i'm vain and vile
Our rendez-vous was run down...

Suimasen

On you...i can't stop
You now know how to fall
How to be and who to buy
Where to live and when to lie
Visible invisible
How to be desirable
Always you always me except you own defense

No not now
No not with myself
All i want is to be you
All i want is to be two
Visible invisible
How to be describeable
Always you always me except your own defense

My last words were not amusing
I know but since then i thought about
What i can tell you
Kindly show you and give you

My head aches just as i speak of you
I am not so sure i alone
Each man to himself
Like myself i see

This song is you this song is full of you
All i want is to be two
This song...

Led Zep

Champion i feel cold
I know the way now
Always i'm not down..oh no!!
Always pounding
Always surrender
Always saw stars
I've known names of those...oh yes!!
Always a handful
I'm not dumb like you
Always angry
Always politics
Always commend
Always trusting
Always longevity

This Is For Me And I Know Everyone Knows

You almost know me suffer from the same desire
You now can understand
Didn't stop to think again
You moved i ran an open wound
We must conclude
I know a man who only cries an old desire (he's just a man)
This is for me and i know everyone knows
This is for you and i know it really shows
But noone talks, nothing locks
Noone fears only fear
And soon...we'll too engage
But in my eyes it's almost lost

In particular

Lying on my back. I heard music.
Felt unsure & catastrophic.
Had to tell myself it's only music.
It blows my mind, but it's like that.

Is anyone there? What could you tell me?
Afraid of what? Would you ever know?
Everyone else is really boring.
Anyone else wouldn't be good enough.

Some place safe i would imagine.
Someone new would be so cruel.
Incurable paranoiac. Hysterical depression.

Alex i'm your only friend.
Alex your love will sing for you

Melody of certain three

Crawl, crawl as a child
Move like a man
Pushing like a father
Pulling like a friend
Whatever it takes forever it seems
But despite of all that all is well

Sexing like stone
Hot as the sand
Entering a life
Exiting with a man
Whatever it takes forever it seems
But despite of all that all is well

Sometimes i spin around for days
Skip and chase and say
Forget about tomorrow
Until i realize
This valid and logic motion
Is what keeps me from moving
I don't understand

Running running on tracks
With feet on the ground
It will only slow me down
And which way the wind blows
I run like a man ready to go anywhere

When i am so timid
You'll be my words
When i am most effective
You act like a stone
Whatever it takes forever it seems
But despite of all that all is well

Hated because of great qualities

Secret so sorry that i forgot
Secret secret we're all bound to forget.
I was worried i might be rude to you.
So worried that i was.
It's a lie to serve the truth
And i'm still guilty.
I missed. So be it.

Everywhere everything you ever touched.
Cutting in won't do it. There's nothing to it.
You were sorry that i was alone
So sorry that you run away.
Putting it on me but you already knew it.
It never meant a thing.
So be it.

I can't understand this at all.
I can't pronounce this at all.

These are different matters
These are uncertain feelings
They should never be discussed here
So keep it to yourself

Love despite of great faults

You will move
With me we will
Stay still and
Words will move around us.
Surround us in gold
And in our world
We will be
Silent.

You will swim
To me we will
Be free
And words will move around us
Swim around us
Surround us in schools
And in our cool
We'll be reminded.

That you refuse to fade away
I hide to stay the same
Where do we go from here
I don't know.

For me you flower to be chosen
I fall down to be noticed
Where do we go from here i don't know.

It was a time
A way of life
The only secrets
We talked about
Were all the fears
In all these years
We spent together

This is not

Once she loved a boy. But he did not love her.
His name was jun. Disillusioned she tried to forget.
So she left everything & traveled to the other side of the world.
But life was like a dream.
A series of meaningless movement.

And then by chance she met you & your brother.
The moment she saw you.
She knew you were made for her.

You're never out of her thoughts. She sees only you.

If it was yesterday he'd felt free just like her
He could have been with her
But today can't be anymore
Tomorrow maybe yes. But today he is not there.

I heard someone say
That mind keeps wondering from desire to contempt
From contempt to desire
Never ever feeling bored. Cause we think we are free.
I think it's so pathetic. Don't you ?
Were you listening to me. No not even one word.

I heard someone say that mind keeps wondering
Life is like a dream. A series of meaningless movement.
I heard someone say
Let's go to the other world
Because we think we are free. A series of meaningful
Movement

La la la

A cure

Everybody knows him he is a pleaser
Nothing else than just a teaser
Teaser of his own faint smile

Yes and how he is so amusing
Smiling can be so consuming
And so strange to explain

Oh i know how i think i might
Have known of you somehow and
What your name was

Like any another man in many ways he is not
Like life itself a mystery or two
Hey Mr. Pleaser would you smile for me?

Yes and how many times he hasn't
Spoken just to please not to displease
Please her if you please

Oh i see how his life resembles
Yours and you somehow are like him.
I see i know i've been too good for you
You know he is just like me
Pleasing you and now
All you do is wish
I was more and more like him
If so would you consider keeping me
Closer i know

He turns his head and doesn't see you
But when he does he looks and greets you
How are you? good luck !!
so know i call myself a pleaser
This time sitting on a secret
One secret everybody knows

Oh i see how his life resembles
Yours and you somehow are like him.
I see i know i've been too good for you
You know you know that he is just like me
Pleasing you and now,and now all
You do is wish i was more and more like him
If so would you consider keeping me
Closer if so, i know if i was more and more like him
If so would you consider keeping me closer
I know i know if i was more and more like him if so...

*** Thanx a lot to Uli who corrected this one ***

For the damaged

Maybe again he will be alone
Guess we're equally damaged
Find your name do it all the same equally
Signal when you can't breathe no more

Say you were me then you could see the view
You'll know we are equally damaged
Don't be a fool, make it easier
You'll learn to say when
Signal if you can't say, "no more"

Don't cross your finger
Sundays will never change
They keep on coming
You'll be a freak
And i'll keep you company

Mother

You pay for that.
You're wrong if you think it was a loan.
I'm onto you. you're fading out.
You're wrong if you think i'm alone.
They will never fail.
I will never fail.

For the damaged coda

Am i?
Am i to be paid?

Angel I can see myself in your eyes
Angel won’t you feel for me from your heart
Do return my heart to me
No don’t insist I’m already hurt

Elephant girl
It was an accident unfortunate
Angel threw me like a rubber man
Aiming for the ground
Why amuse yourself in such way
No don’t insist I’m already hurt

Lay me down on the ground softly softly
Don’t remove my head hurts much too much

You never return it
Well I wouldn’t miss it
I shed no tears for broken me
You never know it my peace of mind
Now inside and outside are matching

Why amuse yourself in such way
No don’t insist I’m already hurt
If you never return it
Will it break your wings
Will you shed no tear for broken me

Messenger

Stay still do be still
No wonder you are always lost
If a messenger you must be known
Then with messages you must return
To be seen by demanding hands
And touches of jealous men
Invisible and forgivable
To all their secret hands

Be it so be quick
Don’t run just walk and walk and walk
Don’t loose yourself to decorate
Somewhere on your wall
Cause somewhere in your mind
You know you are doing fine
Holding secret hair locks
You’ll pluck before you hide

So how can I keep anything to myself
So how can I keep any of these to myself
So how can I keep anything to myself
Behind those clouds
I’m almost home

Melody

She knows I can’t read
She knows I can’t write
But these are the letters from melody
Show me how to read
Show me how to write
These are the things you can do for me

Why did you kill that poor old man, melody
Why did you kill that poor old man, melody
She said, “He was never good to me”
She said, “He was never good to me”

Tell me how she was dressed that day, my melody
Don’t show me how she touched her face, my melody
She said, “I would never do it again. Give me another chance.”
I said, “Why didn’t you come to me? Why didn’t you talk to me?”

Doll Is Mine

Mine is an act of love
Mine is a wish to solve
And mine is to sink by your side
You are to be amused
And you are never to be confused
In your first love
Your first time
Why a doll so they tell me
Cause she is mine
Faith and fully mine
I must say
This love hasn’t changed me
Cause I feel fine
Faith and fully mine

I must have seen too much skin
Much more than I needed to
And much more than I wanted to dream
I must have felt so much pain
It’s funny how some things do remain
It isn’t true that things do change
Isn’t it strange how pain remains
But don’t look sad cause it isn’t sad
Now that I have you to myself

Misery Is a Butterfly

Dearest Jane I should’ve known better
But I couldn’t say hello, I didn’t know why
But now I think, I think you were sad
Yes you were, you were, you were

What I say, I say only to you
Cause I love and I love only you
Dearest Jane, I want to give you a dream
That no one has given you

Remember when we found misery
We watched her, watched her spread her wings
And slowly fly around our room
And she asked for your gentle mind

Misery is a butterfly
Her heavy wings will warp your mind
With her small ugly face
And her long antenna
And her black and pink heavy wings

Remember when we found misery
We watched her, watched her spread her wings
And slowly fly around our room
And she asked for your gentle mind

Falling Man

Tell me how you seek your man
And tell me all your secret spells
Tell me how you learn
To tell by his voice that he fell

I know a ghost will walk through walls
Yet I am just a man still learning how to fall

Try to re-imagine me
And I’ll re-invent myself
Still I remember scenes
Of when you looked at someone else

I know a ghost can walk through the wall
Yet I am just a man still learning how to fall

When you start doubting me
Then I start to doubt myself
And never look through me
Cause I’ll keep close to myself

I know a ghost can walk through the wall
Yet I am just a man still learning how to fall

I am what I am
And what I am is who I am
I know what I know
And all I know is that I fell
If only I could walk through walls
Then maybe I would tell who I was
Yet I am just a man still learning how to fall

Anticipation

Anticipate and evaluate
What he thought
And what I thought before
You’re broken like me
Like me before

Dark place is your place
I take dark drive to your place
You’re staring me
You’re staring with your inside eyes

Knowing you, knowing me
We’re deeply sorry
You’re broken maybe baby

Maybe it didn’t happen
Maybe all of this would go away
And if we’re ever young again
He’ll anticipate
We’ll evaluate

Maddening Cloud

Sure you can look back
If it means moving on
And you can take me back
But you must come home
We are both a in maddening cloud

And you can touch me there
Just don’t leave me alone
And you can call me softly
When I dream and ask for more
You can slow and fold and mold my mind

And she said
I can’t feel my toes
And she must be alone
And far too cold

And he stares
Like he doesn’t see
He must be scared
And far too lost

Under and over
We must have glanced
Face to face
We’ve had to dance
We’re both in a maddening cloud

Sure you can step back
If it means moving on
And you take me back
But you must be alone
You can choke and smoke and rock my mind

Magic Mountain

At magic mountain
Nobody sings today
Nobody speaks today
Close my eyes
And hope to see
Weeks go by like a day
In a lowland

I live here on magic mountain
No one leaves magic mountain

At magic mountain
Nothing changes
Everything stays the same
Cross my heart
And hope to live
All the time
With a little fever

I stay here on magic mountain
No one leaves magic…

My heart hears you sing
My heart hears you speak
But I never make it in the flatlands
I must stay in magic mountain

*** Thanx a lot to jasper who corrected some mistakes ***

Pink Love

I won’t bind my strings to you
But build my world besides you
Watching you draw a line
Some say you are, you are
Just like a butterfly
Whose broken wings will spread
To softly feel your mood
Over the blue sky full of you
Pink love, pink love, pink love
Just like a fairytale

My only reason naturally
Starts to get to me
Pushing my way through
Mesh of life
I want to kiss the sickness of mind
My heart without reason
Sunken to deep disappointment
Spreads over universe
With a knife
I want to bleed out distress like this

It’s not just a fairytale painted by me
It’s not just loneliness between you and I
If on magic mountain you find you can breath
Then stay and don’t look back
To the blue woven sky

Storms of petals are pouring down
Pushing their way through our pink love
So many polka dots painted by me
Spreads over universe for you
And I, I want to kiss
Pink love, pink love
I want to kiss
Pink love, pink love
In my mind
I state myself
The clock is ticking without you
Some may say illness
So called so called love
The sickness of mind

Equus

Allow me to show you!!!
The way which I adore you!!!

Sometimes I think I must
Just let you be a horse
All I want is to be a rider
To be part of you

Afraid so afraid
To loose you
If someone looks at you
Turn into donkey
Pretend you are lame

Equus by nature
Timid creature
Ready to run away
Equus by nature
Timid creature
Cares nothing
For the plans they made

I will hide you
Will protect you
Won’t let anyone
Take you away

Twenty three seconds
All things we love will die
Twenty three magic
If you can change your life

Your tainted heart, your tainted heart
My tainted love, my tainted love
Repent now
How many times
As long as you live
How many times
The world will go around

He was a friend of mine
He was a son of god
He was a son of a gun
He was a son of god

He was a friend of mine
He was a son of god
He was a son of a gun
He was a son of god

Twenty three seconds
In you I see a chance
Twenty three magic
If you change the name of love

Your crazy heart
My crazy love
Repent now
How many times
As long as you wish
How many times
The world will go around
How many times
As long as you want
How many times
The world will go around

He was a friend of mine
He was a son of a gun
He was a son of god
He was a son of god

He was a friend of mine
He was a son of a gun
He was a son of god
He was a son of god

He was a friend of mine
He was a son of a gun
He was a son of god
He was a son of god

Dr Strangeluv

Looking everywhere
I see nothing but people
Looking everywhere
But I see nothing but people
Where have they gone
I always thought I could never leave them
They are calling me
But they don't know I can't stay all night long

Hey, Dr Strangeluv
So sad, isn't it true
(You left without goodbye)

Hey, Dr Strangeluv
So sad, isn't it true
(You left without goodbye)

Looking everywhere
Keep my fire going
Cold look in their eyes
Cold air in their hearts
They are calling me
I always thought I could save them all
They are calling me
They don't know I can't stay all night long

Hey, Dr Strangeluv
So sad, isn't it true
(You left without goodbye)

Hey, Dr Strangeluv
So sad, isn't it true
(You left without goodbye)

Looking everywhere
Keep my fire going

The Dress

Tears you see on my face
You do have something to do with
Fear starts creeping up
When you have so much to lose
Your love waits you while you're cheating
Lightning strikes you when you're moving

The light you see in my eyes
You do have something to do with
Play the game namely love
Play it like you have nothing to lose
Horse loves you when you move with him
People hate you when you're changing

Don't let the dress trick you
I love you less now that I know you
I won't count the scars again
I love you less now that I know you

The glow you see on my face
You do have something to do with
Fear starts creeping up
When you have so much to lose
Your love wait you while you're cheating
Lighting strikes you when you're moving

Don't let me wonder away
I love you less now that I know you
Don't let the dress trick you
I love you less now that I know you

I won't count the scars again
Because I love you

SW

Oh it's not, it's not what you give
But it's what you kept
Oh it's not, it's not who you kill
But it's who you left

I am, I am running in my head
I am, I am lying on my left
I am, I am growing in my bed
I am, I am

Oh it's not, it's not how you speak
But it's what you said
Oh it's not, it's not what you seek
But it's what you have

I am, I am running in my head
I am, I am lying on my left
I am, I am growing in my bed
I am, I am

Oh it's not, it's not what it seems
It's not what it seems
It's not, it's not what you leave
But it's what you hold

I am, I am running in my head
I am, I am lying on my left
I am, I am growing in my bed
I am, I am

Spring And By Summer Fall

Tell me where you've seen my life
I look in your eyes and can only see my own complexion
Tell me where you've been my life
I've been watching you spring by summer fall when some one called

Tell me where you've seen my life
You've been biting my hands and knocking me down down to the ground
Tell me where you've been my life
I see only what you see, face who you face, be who you want to be

Clashing lies and clashing thighs
Clashing chasing changing minds
Tell me what you've seen tell me where you've gone
Tell me where you've been tell me what you saw

Clashing lies and clashing thighs
Clashing chasing changing minds
Tell me what you've seen tell me where you've gone
Tell me where you've been tell me what you saw

Tell me where you've been my life
I see only what you see, face who you face, be who you want to be

Silently

Silently, I wish to sail into your port, I am your sailor
Quietly, I drop my weight into your sea, I drop my anchor
I sway in your waves, I sing in your sleep
I stay till I'm in your life

I realize now you're not to be blamed my love
You didn't choose your name my love
You never crossed the seven seas
I realize now you're not to be blamed my love
You didn't choose your name my love
You never crossed the seven seas

Oh, sweet creature
I know exactly how you feel
Your clock is ticking, tick tack tick tack
Your heart is beating tum tum tum tum tum

Silently, I wish to sail into your port, I am your sailor
Quietly, I drop my weight into your sea, I drop my anchor

I realize now you're not to be blamed at all
You didn't choose your name my love
You die a little in my arm
I realize now you're not to be blamed at all
You didn't choose your name my love
We never crossed the seven seas
I realize now you die a little in my arm
Before you even taste my love
We never crossed the seven seas
I realize now you re not to be blamed at all
You didn't choose your name my love
You die a little in my arm
I realize now

Father don't you go
Let's just take a walk in the afternoon ... look at me
Mother don't you know
You can only see me through a clouded sphere ... look at me
Walk out on a limb leaning on a cloud that isn't still reveals
Looking down a cliff it isn't fun it's communicating fear

Say what you say, say it like a cat
Say it to my face and say what you know every one says
Say what you say, say it like a cat
Say it to my face and say what you know every one says

Father don't you know
You have made me into a quiet man ... look at me
Mother don't you go
You are a long way away from me ... look at me

I see you as you see me ... look at me
Change your heart cause I am already spoken for
Change your heart cause I am already spoken for

Say what you say, say it like a cat
Say it to my face and say what you know every one says
Say what you say, say it like a cat
Say it to my face and say what you know every one says

Tell me why talk to lie, tell me why tell me why
Oh you were gonna run with me

Oh you were gonna run with me

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why you're the one
Oh you were gonna run with me
Walk you through, walk you through, I walk you through my story
Oh you were gonna run with me

Roland takes the sea, but he goes without me
Roland takes the trip but he goes without me
Roland makes the move, but he goes without me

He goes without me
Roland takes the sea but he goes without me
Roland takes the trip but he went without me
Roland, he goes without me

Top Ranking

We've come a long way to where the mountain is high
I take my cedar to where the mountain is high

What I need is a peace and quiet
What we see is an illusion
I have no reason to confuse them
I have no reason to confuse my brothers

They have real shotguns
They were baby killers
But I warned you many times that they will burn down your house

Not today (what can I do)
Not today (to make it better)

What we need is a persuasion
What you give is retaliation
I hope one day we meet again
I hope one day we love one another

They were young soldiers
They were old liars
But I heard the rumor that they will burn down your house

Not today (what can I do)
Not today (to make it better)

They will burn down your house
They will burn down your house

Impure Hair

I've lost my key
I've gone too far
Was it enough to make you sick ?
Maybe I live again, but would I lose again my virginity ?
Oh, my virginity

I'm shaped to get in your way
But in the end
We defend our decadence
You never wept like that
Whatever lost I won't forget about you
Oh, forget about you

It's not what I said, it's what you said
It's what you did did that belongs to everyone
It's not what I hate, it's what you hate
Its decadence belongs to everyone

One day I lie next to you and you stroke my impure hair

( Melodie citronique EP )

Lo sai non sei come me
Sempre sai dove sei
Come sai quanto vuoi di quelche vuoi
Ma io
Invece non voglio svegliare me
Per pensare a te

Uomo o ragazzo?
Passione del gioco
Il fuoco il fosso
Le strade percorse
Di notte ogni giorno
Di sera questa sera
No non svegliare me
Per parlar con te

Voler non essere Chi é e non é
Non sà il piacere
Sa e non sà di sapere
Sa e non sà chi amare

Tu sai gentile sei
Sempre sei come vuoi
Quando sai dove sei

Di quel che vuoi
Ma io
Invece non voglio svegliare me
Ne pensare a te

La furia l'indifferenza
Di chi é e non é
Ogni atto é finzione
Quotidiana emozione
Ma io si io
Non voglio svegliare me
E ne pensare a te

En particulier

( Melodie citronique EP - In particular - French Version )

Je suis sur le dos. J'écoute la musique.
Sans confiance et catastrophique.
J'ai dû me dire c'est juste de la musique.
Ca m'épate, mais c'est comme ça.

Y'a quelqu'un ? Peux-tu me répondre ?
Peur de quoi ? Jamais tu ne sauras.

Tout le monde est vraiment très chiant.
Personne ne sera jamais assez bon.

Un endroit sûr, je peux imaginer.
Un nouveau type serait trop cruel.
Incurable paranoiac. Hystérique dépression.

x xx Alex I'm your only friend.
x xx Alex your love will sing for you.

Maybe again he will be alone
Guess we're equally damaged
Find your name do it all the same equally
Signal when you can't breathe no more

Why don't we take the layers off your wall
Why don't we chip away paint off your wall
I dissolve into your love
I tire myself in your arms

Why don't we put the pictures on your wall
Why don't we turn the light on your wall

I wish to be weaving your dream
I wish to be flying around your sky
Walk onto your bridge
Circle around your tree
Walk onto your bridge
Circle around your tree
Your tree, your tree...

Hours

( TV On The Radio featuring Kazu Makino )

You walked around
Said yourself beautiful
Just too bad they stare
Just too bad they stare
Broke up your crown
Called you unusable
See how well you fair
Stole underground
To keep your heart around
Banished from above
Banished from above
Forgot yourself
Go home and shot your health
Left it all for love

And all their lips
Delirious quips
Last seen with friends
Wishing them well
You
You listen for the truth
Just too bad they lied
Just too bad they lied
Oh come around
Inform our future youth
Summon from the sky

The future is cruel
Unusual fools
Leave them to rule in hollow point hell

Now listen to the truth
Cradle and a cry
Cradle and a cry
Your light will shine

Keep your head on high
Keep your head on high

You walk around
Know you are beautiful
Aimless and alive
Broken and defined
Walk around know you are future youth
Summon to the sky

Elle sait je lis pas
Elle sait j'écris pas
Mais ce sont des lettres de Melody
Apprends moi à lire
Apprends moi à écrire
Voilà les choses que tu peux faire pour moi
Ce sont les choses que tu peux faire pour moi
These are the things you can do for me

Pourquoi as-tu tué ce pauvre vieux, Melody
Pourquoi as-tu tué ce pauvre vieux, ma Melody
Elle disait tu n'étais pas bien pour moi
Elle disait tu n'étais pas bien pour moi

Dis-moi ce qu'elle portait ce jour-là, Melody
Et ne montres pas ses mains sur son visage, ma Melody
Elle disait jamais plus je le ferais
Donnes-moi une autre chance
Je dis : Pourquoi n'es-tu pas venu ?
Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas fait ?

Odiata per le sue virtu

( Melodie citronique EP - Hated Because of Great Qualities, Italian Version )

Segreto scusa se mi son scordata.
Segreto segreti che é destino dimenticar.
Tormentata di essere stata.
Cosi scortese che cosi é stato.
Le bugie vittime della verita.
La mia colpa é tutta qua.
Mi son sbagliata. Cosi é.

Dovunque, ognicosa tutto quel che hai mai sfirato.
Scavere non servira. E semplice si sa.
Eri triste sapendomi sola.
Cosi triste che sei scappato.
Incolpavi solo me quando gia sapevi che.
Non voleva dire niente - E cosi é

No io non capisco e lo so.
No io pronunciario non so.
Sono affari tuoi.
Solo insicurezze.
Non c'é modo di parlane.
Tientelo per te.

Signs along the path

( Silently EP & 23 japanese edition )

You never asked me what I wanted
You only asked me if I loved you
I never asked for what I needed
What I gave you, you didn't need

It’s up to you to leave me
I’ll collect the signs along the way
Along the path

I only give you what I’m made of
You take more than what I give you
You never asked me what I needed
What I gave you, you didn't need it

It's up to you to lead me
I'll collect the signs along the way
Along the path

It's up to you to lead me
I'll collect the signs along the way
Along the path

( Melodie citronique EP - Serge Gainsbourg Cover )

Tu es faible, tu es fourbe, tu es fou,
Tu es froid, tu es faux, tu t'en fous,
Evelyne, je t'en pris, Evelyne, dis pas ça,
Evelyne, tu m'as aimé, ouvre-moi.
Tu es vil, tu es veule, tu es vain,
Tu es vieux, tu es vide, tu n'es rien.
Evelyne, tu es injuste, Evelyne tu as tort,
Evelyne, tu vois tu m'aimes encore.
Tu es faible, tu es fourbe, tu es fou,
Tu es froid, tu es faux, tu t'en fous,
Evelyne, tu es injuste, Evelyne tu as tort,
Evelyne, tu vois tu m'aimes encore.

When the road runs out

(Blonde Redhead And Devastations / Dark Was The Night LP)

Before you leave
Same time next week
I’ll hold you again
Don’t be late
Don’t be late
Baby, don’t be late
Don’t forget when the road
Runs out over you
I’ll marry you
I’ll marry you
I will marry you

All those feet
Getting old
I will wait
You will oh
The way we are
So truthful
These feet
Worry
I’m not so confident
You keep telling me
Be patient
Be patient
I’m not the same girl

Same time
Next week
I’ll hold you again
When the sun comes out
When the road runs out
We sweep through our secrets
And see

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la…

Give me ten minutes
Before you leave

Give me ten minutes
Before you leave
