"IRM" (2009)
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
Looking Glass Blues lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg
Think I'd like to climb down in a hole
down in the bottom of the world below
twist myself back out of sight
looking glass says have a look inside
drink a little bottle and I disappear
smaller I grow, smaller all my fears
I can fit inside the heard of anywhere
looking glass blues and I don't care
time ticks backwards and the day is null
borrowing dreams from a buying ground
stranded on a chest board, I can't move
and I don't even want to sing these backwards blues
backwards blues
backwards blues
what can you see through a looking glass
the opposite of everything that you can't have
you can't have
good or bad
I see what exists outside myself
the absence of something that I know to well
now the fear is reaching like a hand in a glove
the ugliest thing inside a heard you can think of
I walk through a key big as the sun
past all meanings and the things we've done
counterfeit soul with an infant brain
cause that's how we gonna get along today
