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
