Bad Number 02:25
We have just been talking about you You dirty piece of shit you scum bastard You dirty piece of shit you bad number Did you think you could spoil my life what did make you think so? You hit me humiliated me in front of my friends and family You thought you could be my master But I’ve eventually been taking over Maybe I needed to talk about it maybe I needed to sing about it Purge my heart and soul purge my guts and mouth Meanwhile (in Vera Cruz) I’m so happy Meanwhile (in Vera Cruz) I’m just happy

(with some geriatric and wino mumbling inside) We made our ways all through Europe For some around the world (not me !) We made it cheap, we made it loud We made it intense, up the punx we said. Some of us got jobs some did not Some of us got children some did not Some of us did well some did not Some of us did die some did not We stole a lot we dreamt a lot We drank and did everything a lot We never thought we’d get to be that old, As we danced full with drugs and great ideals Thought we had nothing to lose, do we have now ? Is that only a shared memory that we hang to ? Is that memory that built what we are now ? Would you call that melancholy or only a fond look backwards ? I don’t understand how it’s gone so far, how it’s gone so fast, how we made it last How we’re still together (as friends)

It looks like the end of the world But I’m nearly blind anyway It smells like the end of the world I couldn’t care less anyway. Why should I care ? It sounds like the end of the world But I’m half-deaf anyway It tastes like the end of the world It looks/smells/sounds/tastes like the end of the world. Why should I care ?

I’ve always known I wasn’t shaped for motherhood Everybody knew better and thought that I should I was patted on the head I was smiled at I was smiled at again and patted on the head again Everybody said that I eventually would But I knew I wasn’t fit for motherhood All my life I was told « when you grow up » There was this boy he wasn’t interested in school He didn’t care about what was deemed cool He didn’t mind being taken for a fool All he wanted was to play music on his stool All his life he was told « when you grow up » There’s so many of us who don’t fit the frames we are given Full misfits half-misfits nevermind But good people beware because that’s OUR lives

Destroy 02:42
The bastards killed you for a game A game of hatred and manliness They killed you and got scot free In this dirty game you lost The bastards lied about it all In this game of power and weaponry They hushed the crimes while helping jihadists to the butchery Informants fascists yesmen and the lot All the scum of earth linked around your grave Nothing can erase the shit that happened But may a little noise help you rest
6.
Hail the paper king Just born out of nothing Mere creature of the media Null and void they made him So hail the plastic king Molded cunningness concealed by foundation Glowing teeth trying to grind Expensive toy we can’t afford So kick him dump him throw him into the garbage bin He’s made out of inner grime don’t even try to recycle him He promised to get rid of all the things that we care most about He’s going to make us spit blood So hail the icy king All glaring but empty within The fire of the fight will make him thaw The heat of the streets will make him flow

Lies 01:49
Lies are the opposite of truth, lies are the opposite of trust, Lies are the opposite of confidence, lies are the opposite of love.

I used to sing a song about a lady* She was supposed to be my best buddy It took me long to get rid of her I should have sunk but I’ve been stronger How could I ever call her my friend ? Didn’t know the meaning of the word then Its true sense is nothing but you It’ll make you blush but that’s just true The years we spent laughing our heads off The nights we spent drinking rough We never were alone when we were sad We never were alone when things turned bad I’ve been unfair often But I love you more than you know Never let me down I’ll never let you down (*it's not a real person)
9.
Monday morning’s so shiny And you’re there lying next to me Why is it that we have to wake up? Why is it that we have to get up? On this Monday morning that’s so shiny Monday morning could be so cosy Instead it’s gonna be busy Answering emails is that really a choice As I long for your whispering voice It’s not even an awful job only a senseless one Not even a real rip off just a count of days passing away
10.
Running 02:44
Running in my sleep, running after my thoughts Running after  lost opportunities, running after lost loves, Running after dissolved principles, disappeared people, Discarded poetry, dismissed patterns, Wrestling with insomnia, I start to run. Running… Always on the run, I moan and start to run, Awake on my pillow, I jump and burn Waaaaaake, if only I could wake If I could only wake… or sleep I’m sure it already happened to you Running in your sleep after the things you’ve messed up Trying to fix in your sleep the things you’ve messed up Trying to fix in your sleep the life you’ve messed up

"Mid-paced punk from this French band sung in English – I can’t quite put my finger on what this brings to mind, sonically, but in many ways it makes me think of bands like JINGO DE LUNCH. Its certainly fairly straightforward punk rock but not in snarly, fuck the world sort of way. A bit more melody, tension and spooky vibes."
Razorblades & Aspirin #15
