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

5:55 lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg

A cinq heures cinquante-cinq 
Awake with open eyes 
A drift upon the night 
And miles away from land 

Five fifty five 
Five fifty five 

A cinq heures cinquante-cinq 
Ante meridiem 
Too late to end it now 
Too early to start again 

Five fifty five 
Five fifty five 

Soon the morning will arrive 
Can I begin another day 
Whilst this old day is still alive 
Refusing to be put away 

Five fifty five 
No sleep tonight 
Five fifty five 

Like a beast awaits its faith 
Laid here with time to kill 
The very dead of night 
Where time and space stand still 

Five fifty five 
Five fifty five 

A cinq heures cinquante-cinq 
Nothing will ever change 
On the altar of my thought 
I sacrifice myself again and again and again 

Five fifty five 
Five fifty five

AF607105 lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg

Melancholy 
Aviation 
Chocolate 
Perfume 
Cigarettes 
Frequent flyer 
Stow away 
Dislocation 
Sleeping 
Jets 
Wave goodbye 
Feel homesick 
Tranquilizers 
Bill of fare 
Cry easy 
Dvt 
Disappear into thin air 

[Chorus]
We wish you all a very happy pleasant flight 
This is a journey to the center of the night 
And the inflight entertainment's out of sight 
Here on af 607105 

Time difference 
You're waking 
Chase the sun into your eyes 

Sleeping cities 
Dust hotel rooms 
Passengers look to the skies 

Fly over 
Your lifetime 
And never touching down 

My heart 
Is breaking 
Somewhere over saskatchewan 

[Chorus]
We wish you all a very happy pleasant flight 
This is a journey to the center of the night 
And the inflight entertainment's out of sight 
Here on af 607105 

Your life in 
The wrong hands 
Savannah and frozen wastes 

The flight path 
The wingspan 
Below the earth rotates 

I love you 
I miss you 
I cannot see your face 

Invent a 
New persona 
Drunk here on the edge of space 

All the things I carry with me 
And all the things I left behind 
And all the things that wait to meet me 
Hover in the air tonight 

If I can only keep on moving 
And never stop and think of me 
And freefall through the years and decades 
Terminal velocity 

[Chorus]
We hope you had a very happy pleasant flight 
This is our final destination so goodnight 
Like a stone we are now falling from the sky 
Farewell from af 607105 

The cabin 
Is burning 
I smile and feel complete 

Here amongst 
Total strangers 
27 000 feet 

Suspended 
Isolation 
Kids throw toy planes in the street 

One final 
Blaze of glory 
Viewed from a window seat

The Operation lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg

I want to explore you 
I'm gonna get under your skin 
So you can feel me running through your veins 

I want to examine 
Every inch of your frame 
The pressure points that cause your joy and pain 

Our love goes under the knife 
There is no room for doubt 

Now I'm inside you 
My hands can feel their way 
Further inside than I have ever been 

Now I can really 
Mess around with your heart 
And fill it to the brim with broken dreams 

Our love goes under the knife 
Two lives may be saved 

And if I pull this off 
I'll refuse the nobel prize 
Instead I will look into your eyes 

If I pull this off your whole body will be mine 
And I'm prepared to work throughout the night 

Our love goes under the knife 
Nothing is taboo 
...here on the cutting edge of science 

Too much information 
I feel I'm getting lost 
Absorbed into the fibre of your soul 

Deep within the abbatoir 
Of your entrails your insides 
Lost in you forever far from home 

Our love goes under the knife 
Someone got too close 

Our love goes under the knife 
The heart was rejected by the host

Tel Que Tu Es lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg

Quand tu t'en vas, 
Que tu n'es pas presse 
Ton corps se balance 
Sans importance 
Tel que tu es 

Sans dire un mot, 
Sans effort tu te moques 
Du decor tu es 
De temps en temps 
Tel que tu es 

Tu ne sais pas 
Ce que l'on dit de toi 
Tu t'en fous surtout 
N'y change rien 
Tel que tu es 

No one can tell 
What you say or do next 
Are you blessed%3f 
Maybe by me sometimes 
Come as you are

The Songs That We Sing lyrics - Charlotte Gainsbourg

I saw somebody who 
Reminded me of you 
Before you got afraid 
I wish that you could've stayed that way 

I saw a little girl 
I stopped and smiled at her 
She screamed and ran away 
It happens to me more and more these days 

And these songs that you sing 
Do they mean anything 
To the people you're singing them to 
People like you 

I saw a photograph 
A woman in a bath of hundred dollar bills 
If the cold doesn't kill her, money will 

I read a magazine 
That said by seventeen 
Your life was at an end 
I'm dead and I'm perfectly content 

And these songs that I sing 
Do they mean anything 
To the people I'm singing them to 
People like you 

And these songs that we sing 
Do they mean anything 
To the people we're singing them to 
Tonight they do
