Charlotte Gainsbourg Lyrics
"Stage Whisper" (2011)
Terrible Angels lyrics - Charlotte gansbourg
My head is pounding, my mouth is dry
My eyes are burning, oh I can see you lowering
Pan de sal, Blanc Ménage
Holy holy, tension turn me inside out
Inside out, inside out
Seraphim, please don't pull me down
It's just a drowning man reaching for me now
Seraphim, please don't pull me down
It's just a drowning man reaching for me now
Please don't pull me down
I want release from absolution
I want release from-
I want rele-
I want release
Terrible angels, infant sorrows
Twilight horses, they will walk with me again
I can hear them, oh I can hear them
My ancestor, my protector, my tormentor
And a lot unknown, and a lot unknown, oh oh
Seraphim, please don't pull me down
It's just a drowning man reaching for me now
Seraphim, please don't pull me down
It's just a drowning man reaching for me now
I want release from absolution
Benediction
Good intentions
Blue black flowers
Poison wine
Blood ecstatic
Annihilate the sense of things
I am born into these breaking hours
Out of change change change
Paradisco lyrics - Charlotte gainsbourg
In paradiscos
We get bored with breaking windows
Turning beggars into heroes
Bodies moving innuendos
In paradiscos
We're confined to only pleasure
Metal pin take a measure
When you're a flame you'll burn forever
And forever
I'll burn an effigy out of the past
Then our clothes catch fire as we dance
And I wonder how long they could last
Walking through a room full of broken glass
In paradiscos
We'll make a million out of zeroes
Split an apple with an arrow
Play the violin like Nero
In paradiscos
Into the eye of an angel
You can fly like a mosquito
And turn into the magnate of the people
In paradiscos
I'll burn an effigy out of the past
Then our clothes catch fire as we dance
And I wonder how long they could last
Walking through a room full of broken glass
I'll burn an effigy out of the past
Then our clothes catch fire as we dance
And I wonder how long they could last
Walking through a room full of broken glass
All The Rain lyrics - charlotte gainsbourg
If God don't make mistakes
Pulling the weeds from the ground
As they're growing up and over the streets of the city
And I can't play it straight
Cause I don't know if it matters
You try to stay calm as they bring your head on a platter
All the rain
All the rain
Cover me now
All the rain
All the rain
Cover me now
Little lion wilt
Pushing against the world
What you hope to gain is the same as what you're losing
Like a parasite
Living off somebody's life
All you take from someone else
Give yourself away
All the rain
All the rain
Cover me now
All the rain
All the rain
Cover me now
All the rain
All the rain
Cover me now
All the rain
All the rain
Cover me now
White Telephone lyrics - Charlotte gainsbrough
White telephone
Pick up the receiver
Wait for the tone
Wait for the tone
It's droning
There's no one on the line
It's droning
There's no one on the line
The rotary
Finger into the hole
Pull back, let go
Pull back, let go
It's ringing
No one answering
It's ringing
There's no one answering
All our words go into the wire
Just like a ghost
Just like a ghost
It's fleeting like light from a room
Into darkness from an empty room
I'm fleeting like light in a room
Into darkness crawling after you
Anna lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
Anna,
Take me back to the home
Anna,
Once I knew it’s getting born
I’ve been in the world
Now had to sing
Still I could hear
Your voice calling in
Takes too long
To forget you
If I’d known to stay
Too long
To forget you
I’m still waiting for a chance
Anna,
All I see is your face
Anna,
Same great heart still away
I want you to know
I was so young then
Don’t wanna feel
On my own again
Takes too long
To forget you
If I’d known to stay
Too long
To forget you
I’m still waiting for a chance
Go To Let Go lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg (feat. Charlie Fink of Noah & The Whale)
You say you fallen in love and can’t let go
There’s only one thing I think you should know
You’ve got to be strong when the cold as the day
Got to realize when there’s nothing left to say
Good things come and go
One day you will know
You’ve got to let go, yeah you’ve got to let go
Yeah you’ve got to let go
When your night feels longer than the day
Love’s a wrecking ball and you’re in its way
Feels like everyone you know has close the door
Just don’t feel like keeping on, anymore
Got to make up your mind
Our wounds heal in time
You’ve got to let go, yeah you’ve got to let go
Yeah you’ve got to let go [X2]
It’s a deadly revolver, it’s a deadly revolver
It’s a deadly revolver to your head [X4]
Out Of Touch lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
Please please please
I’m calling for you my dear
I hope you can understand
I think it’s time we changed our plan
All this while we’re trying to raise up money
It’s all that we really have
It seems to me we’ve lost our touch
Oh I had to start
We’ve been out of touch
Oh I had to start
Can’t keep myself away
All this time
I’m trying to change my way
But now that you live my life
I’m starting to feel I’ve let you down
So please please please
I’m calling for you my dear
I hope you can understand
I think it’s time I changed the lock
Oh I had to start
We’ve been out of touch
Oh I had to start
Can’t keep myself away
Oh I had to start
We’ve been out of touch
Oh I had to start
Can’t keep myself away
I hope to be with you
And ain’t no other way
We speak each other’s minds
That’s the only kind of touch
But I’ll always be here for you all the time
So in a different kind of way
I still love you just the same
It seems to me we’ve lost our touch
Oh I had to start
We’ve been out of touch
Oh I had to start
Can’t keep myself away
Oh I had to start
We’ve been out of touch
Oh I had to start
Can’t keep myself away
Memoir lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
The city lights are beckoning
Their sirens softly call
All the fantasists and fetishist
Are preparing the ball
When you’ve been stuck here on the doorstep
With nothing to forsake
But you might as well be anyone’s to take
So I give myself to strangers
Like I gave myself to you
But the tenderness I felt
Has been replaced by something new
And in the orgy I can vaguely hear
The outline of your call
But I might as well be anyone’s at all
Every memory is sailing
To the kingdom of your soul
As you patiently await
I lose all sense of self-control
You were the lighthouse to my broken boat
But I left you behind
Now I might as well be anyone’s to find
Take my body, take it from me
It is not worthy of your memory
I remember you undressing
As I set myself on fire
And the funeral was quick
As I lay lifeless on your pyre
Well it’s a kind of desperation
And it’s just something you can’t fake
Oh I might as well be anyone’s to take
So I give myself to strangers
Like I gave myself to you
But the unity I felt
has been replaced by something new
Now I am Helen and I am Mary Jane
I’m Robert and I am Paul
Oh I might as well be anyone at all
Yes I might as well be anyone at all
Oh I might as well be anyone at all
Oh I might as well be anyone at all
Just Like A Woman lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
(originally by Bob Dylan)
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows
That Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl.
It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that--
I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl.

Master's Hands lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
(Hey hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey...)
Hold my head up, right foot back
Take my hands down, shake my back
Pull my strings and cut my rope
Rattle my frame and shatter my ghost
And if I can't get back in line
They're gonna break me down
Till the broad daylight comes through
Breathe out, come alive
Give me a reason to feel
Take my eyes and paint my bones
Drill my brain all full of holes
And patch it up before it leaks
These memories come two by three
And if I catch these master's hands
Could I spend my days on a discount revelry
Breathe out, come alive
Give me a reason to feel
IRM lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
Take a picture, what's inside?
Ghost image in my mind
Neural pattern like a spider
Capillary to the centre
Hold still and press the button
Looking through a glass onion
Following the X-ray eye
From the cortex to medulla
Analyze EKG
Can you see a memory?
Register all my fear
On a flowchart disappear
Leave my head demagnetized
Tell me where the trauma lies
In the scan of pathogen
Or the shadow of my sin
Le Chat Du Café Des Artistes lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
Quand on est mort, c'est qu'on est mort
Quand on ne rit plus, c'est qu'on ne vit plus
Quand j'aurai coupé la ficelle
Mettez-moi dans une poubelle
Laissez-moi faisander un mois
Et de là jetez-moi au chat
Qu'il refuse ma rate et mon foie
Mais choisissez l'heure pour qu'il me mange le coeur
Que je reste encore avec vous
Sur vos épaules et vos genoux
Que je sois puisqu'il faut qu'on existe
Le chat du café des artistes
Et si le pain vient à manquer
Je serai là et n'hésitez pas
Brisez-moi les pattes et le cou
Et puis mangez-moi à même le chat
Ce ne sera pas la première fois
Qu'on aura mangé un artiste
Quand on est mort, c'est qu'on est mort
Quand on ne rit plus, c'est qu'on ne vit plus
Quand il a coupé la ficelle
On l'a mis dans une poubelle
Et puis ils m'ont oublié là
Là là là là là là là là
Comme ils ont oublié le chat
Comme ils oublieront ma tête et mes chansons
Ce ne sera pas la dernière fois
Que l'on oubliera un artiste
Quand on est mort c'est qu'on est mort
Quand on ne rit plus, c'est qu'on ne vit plus
Quand j'aurai coupé la ficelle
Mettez-moi dans une poubelle
Et puis ils m'ont oublié là
Là là là là là là là là
Comme ils ont oublié le chat
Comme ils oublieront ma tête et mes chansons
Ce ne sera pas la dernière fois
Que l'on oubliera un artiste
Quand on est mort c'est qu'on est mort
Quand on ne rit plus, c'est qu'on ne vit plus
Quand j'aurai coupé la ficelle
Mettez-moi dans une poubelle
Et puis ils m'ont oublié là
Là là là là là là là là
Là là là là là là là là
Là là là là là là là là
In The End lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
Help me to see
What it's all coming to
Crumbs on the table
And mud on these shoes
Treading so long
I can't see where we've been
Tracks on the trail
And nails digging in
Who's to say it's all for the best in the end
Some hands will rob you
And some hands will beg
Some say they'll stay
Til the last dying day
But if actions can't speak
And words cannot do
What ten thousand armies
Can't even fight through
Who's to say it's all for the best in the end
Who's to say it's all for the best in the end
Heaven Can Wait lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
She's sliding, she's sliding down to the depth of the world
She's fighting, she's fighting the urge to make a ....
Heaven can wait
and hell's too far ago
Somewhere between
what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
She's hiding, she's hiding on a battleship of baggage and bones
There's thunder, there's lightening in an avalanche of faces you know
Heaven can wait
and hell's too far ago
Somewhere between
what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
You left your credentials in a greyhound station
with a first aid kit and a flashlight
Going to a ..... unknown
Heaven can wait
and hell's too far ago
Somewhere between
what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
Me And Jane Doe lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
If I had my way
I'd cross the desert to the sea
Learn to speak in tongues something
That makes sense to you and me
I'd like to unplug the phone
Sending messages with a mirror
Stand on the old plateau
With a satellite dish and Geronimo's ghost
Down in the Rio Del Sol
I sunk my suitcase alone
Filed up the Amazon
With snakes and vines and ropes for my clothes
Me And Jane Doe and Rousseau
We've got nowhere to go
Walking through cactus and stones
Down in the city so cold
Shining like razors in the sun
You can go there anytime that you like
And try to find happiness from a gun
Vanities lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
You could have it all
You could pawn it off
You could learn to crawl
Where you used to walk
And I... I'm only burning vanities
You could tell a tale
You could sell it off
You could find a grail
Made of cinder block
And I... I'm only burning vanities
Time Of The Assassins lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
I walk in a line
I see where I'm going
I turn inside out
The days that I've known
I face to myself
And give up the ghost
I turn in my mind
What time already knows
In the Time Of The Assassins
They say hallelujah
It doesn't take a miracle to raise a
Heart from the dead
I sift through the ash
I look for a sign
I open the wound
That keeps me in line
The shoulder that turns
The flame that goes out
The chapter I close
In the Time Of The Assassins
They say hallelujah
it doesn't take a miracle to raise a
Heart from the dead
And can something change
But still feel the same
Trick Pony lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
Train, train
Come and gone
My rum coco
My cold empty
Shake, shake
Sugaree
Shoo, shoo fly
Don't come back again
X X the eyes
C. C. Rider riding
On the morning tide
To the fall horizon
Sic, sic the wolves
And hope it don't get ugly
A trick pony
He don't know me
He don't know me at all
Knock, knock
Go away
Pull the trigger
And see your shadow laughing
Transatlantic
There's no one there
It's no cold comfort
With your conscience calling
X X the eyes
C. C. Rider riding
On the morning tide
To the fall horizon
Sic, sic the wolves
And hope it don't get ugly
A trick pony
He don't know me
He don't know me at all
Greenwich Mean Time lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
Crooked man down a crooked mile
Crooked backbone, crossed out smile
Crooked cat, crooked mouse
We live together in a crooked little house
We're all fine, we're all fine
We fit together like worms on a line
We're so good, we're so nice
We stick together like dirty horse flies
Crooked eyes, crooked tooth
Crooked mind bending back the truth
A crooked road on a crooked town
Looking down at the crumbs on the ground
We're all fine, we're all fine
We fit together like nickles on a dime
We're so good, we're so nice
We talk the mumbo jumbo Greenwich Mean Time
We're all fine, we're all fine
We fit together like nickles on a dime
We're so good, we're so nice
We talk the mumbo jumbo Greenwich Mean Time
Dandelion lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
Red River, keep on rolling down
It's been a long time since I let my hair hang down
I'll take my time before I go under the ground
Oh dandelion, tell me what you're thinking now
Shape I'm in, I better get back home soon
I got one eye on the road and one eye on the big black moon
Dandelion, won't you tell me what to do
Ironsides rusting in the railroad rain
Now I found out what the Captain of the Morning was saying
Dandelion, better hope your mother's praying
Dumb luck is only the luck I ever knew
I'd make a wish but I don't think it'd ever come true
Dandelion, I guess I'll leave it up to you
Belle Starr, she doesn't have any shoes
She walks crooked and paints her eyelids blue
Dandelion, I wanna go there too
Voyage lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourge
Voyage au bout de la nuit
Voyage au bout de la nuit
Voyage au bout de la nuit
Plumes sauvages
Le mirage
Kerozene
Au gris gris
Rattlesnake
Cadillac
Race humaine
Espace vie
Voyage au bout de la nuit
We could go au bout du monde
Till the end of the night
We could go au bout du monde
Till the end of the night
Voyage au bout de la nuit
We could go, oh
Journey till the end of the world
Guitare noire
Lame rasoire
Porte bonheur
Accroche coeur
Vagabond
Bottle blond
Cicatrice
Sacrifice
Voyage au bout de la nuit
We could go au bout du monde
Till the end of the night
We could go au bout du monde
Till the end of the night
Voyage au bout de la nuit
We could go, oh
Journey till the end of the world
Voyage au bout de la nuit
La Collectionneuse lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
I collect many things
And keep them all close to me
To the ceiling from the floor
I'm tripping on them constantly
Pixelated faces play
On the blown out TV screen
Footage from a camera,
These days I'm fast-forwarding
I see a pattern start to form
Over time it's surfacing
Like a face I recognize
It never says anything
I add up all these moments
In a long narrow ledger
Decimals of pain
Integers of pleasure
The sum of all these parts
I don't know how to measure
They keep on adding up
They just keep on adding up
The collector, la collectioneuse
The collector, la collectioneuse
The collector, la collectioneuse
The collector, la collectioneuse
J'ai cueilli ce brin de bruyere
L'automne est morte souviens-t'en
Nous ne nous verrons plus sur terre
Odeur du temps brin de bruyere
Et souviens-toi que je t'attends
J'ai eu le courage de regarder en arriere
Les cadavres de mes jours
Que lentement passent les heures
Comme passe un enterrement
Tu pleureras l'heure ou tu pleures
Qui passera trop vitement
Comme passe toutes les heures.
Et toi mon coeur pourquoi bats-tu?
Comme un guetteur melancolique
J'observe la nuit et la mort
Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
Les jours s'en vont je demeure
