Polyamorous God 03:41
lyrics
The Polyamorous God that touched our lives, destroyed our couple, and without which I can't live anymore like a loving thorn, stabbing my spine Tickles my eyes Just a kiss and that cobweb clings to your clothes Love is simple, love ain’t simple, that’s a hoax Just the thought of it lined with layers of reciprocal hope. Love is simple, love ain’t simple. That’s a hoax So why don’t you all love me Love is simple anyone can see that It’s a soft net that will intertwine our lives Some get caught, some get hung, some survive. The Polyamorous God That killed my wife And gave her back in a different shape Is testing how much I can take. But how much fibre can one eat How many oppositely directed strings pulled.

J'enlace 06:35
lyrics
Mon ombre est plus longue de celle que je suis réellement Les soirs d’été avec une goutte d’alcool dans le sang Mes bras noirs de pieuvre, mes jambes fines d’araignée ne laissent silhouette aux muscles douloureux, aux nerfs à vif quel tranchant.. les nerfs à vif quel tranchant.. J’enlace rapidement et rapidement je cours à l’abri Je danse languidement et languidement je laisse partir ce que j’ai voracément désiré Encore je danse languidement. Ah, donner de la voix à “ce qui nous tempte et nous donne ces envies” Ah, mettre le poing sur ce qui les détruit. Mettre le doigt sur “ce qui nous tempte et nous donne ces envies” Mettre le poing sur ce qui les construit. Le satellite terrestre est à une échelle différente du reste du ciel Lorsqu’il s’attarde à chuchoter à l’horizon. Ma dose de sucre disparait dans ma tasse de café Pour réapparaitre sous mes joues. Les nerfs à vif quel tranchant Illusion optique quel tranchant

Turn-Over-Turn 03:46
lyrics
Alarm clock goes off at the crack of dawn I’m stuck behind a computer by 8. I do this for my professional future it’s an internship, god no, not paid Dinner time: my real job the one I need to cover rent whizzing through dirty dishes, armani barbies and business men--- Then the boss comes up with a false concerned look on his face you know, your contract is ending this month last to come, first to go, that’s the rule I’m afraid we can’t afford hiring you right now Just another freshly graduate on the unemployment scene... Don’t worry girl, you’ll find another fabulous temp job they are flourishing all over the hypocritical labour market now Don’t worry girl, you studied years at university you’ve sure got qualifications Don’t worry girl, if you can’t pay rent you can go back to living in your parents home ... no! Alarm clock goes off at the crack of dawn I’m stuck behind a computer by 8. I do this for my professional future another internship, of course, unpaid. Now in the afternoon I move from an occasional job to an interview north to east and south to west maybe I’ll find half an hour to kiss you babe half-an-hour-....to kiss-you-babe. Before I crumble into anxious sleep here’s the news thanks to the new bill on the labour market we’ll be fighting informal employment, black market will surface, official rates rise by x% just another manipulation on the misinformation screen... over and over I turn in bed body and soul can get no rest cause over and over they turn us we are flexible working women over and over I turn in bed body and soul can get no rest cause over and over they turn us am I just a flexible working woman?

Tiny crimes 07:10
lyrics
Those tiny lines that supposedly confine us to different generations Those sweet cobwebs at the corner of your eyes Yes they try, how they try, to divide The only tangible difference, that I can see, are credit lines. Life styles. It’s never spring time, it’s always coffee time, never ever tea time for you I hear you mourning about days that are gone and are past, but it could also be spring time for you. Is there anything that I can do to make you fall for me I tried everything that I could do but you won’t fall for it. I tried everything that I could do but you won’t fall for me, I tried so hard but you won’t take a glimpse All hope abandon ye who enter We swim in a pool not of water but of wind… Those tiny crimes that you crumpled in a ball in your pocket Always checking they won’t slip out of their socket They’re going to make you lose your mind Don’t spend your time weighing them out as they’re commit We’ve only got this one chance kiss All hope abandon… I hear you mumbling about what’s good and what’s bad, but it could also be death time for you

Lady in me 03:29
lyrics
The way her hair hangs and how it calls out Her eyelashes armour her earlobe's shield The charm in her hands and how they grasp tight the way her lipstick shines bright No she doesn't look like me She doesn't look like us Still I believe the lady is to be trusted Little one, love, please do not fear her she dances lightly on my heart and she leaves no trace I never call her number never call her number though it's running through my veins I only ever watch her passing by Peeping into the window of my underthoughts the ones that never start being conceived my heart was torn it was forlorn held together by dense obscurity No she doesn't look like me still she talks to us so i believe the lady is to be trusted Yes I watch her walk I learn her make-up I follow her move Ever astonished by the fact that No, she doesn't look like me…

Flowers 05:01
lyrics
I come from a place Where the earth is cold and bare No one bothers cultivating flowers It’s not that they don’t Appreciate beauty It’s simply inessential Achievement is somewhere else Till you showed me As the sun set steadily That flowers are the only remedy So I walked down the streets That I thought I had known And I found them horrible And I found them beautiful I put up my shed Cause I wasn’t giving up On atmospheric conditions I wanted to become beautiful Come to the bay See, as the sun sets steadily, Flowers lose their bloom And so do we

Like a beggar 04:25
lyrics
I take 2 steps towards you you smile and vanish in thin air with your mobile up to your ear Well, I can look at you but not for too long you could consume all my venom and who knows who you’re watching through those fucking sunglasses Could I have seen your mouth twitch could you have been about to unstitch a few words to put on this plate that I am stretching out like a beggar Like a beggar, you make me feel like a beggar you make me feel like a beggar, like a beggar Were you to take a step towards me I’d smile and vanish in thin air but by stumbling down the stairs Well I can’t compete with you but not cause your stronger you have total confidence in your potential whereas I’m always wondering what next will go wrong What of liability? You have none. the whole world seems to conspire against those who put themselves across your path. Have you any worries behind those made-up eyelashes?

Clean 04:52
lyrics
I was born a couple of years ago Smartly Just in the place I wanted to be Perfect Beautiful Coherent At ease with myself Politically fluent No negative back feed Clean Who would have known I had been twisting it around? I hadn’t noticed I had been twisting it around ...what do the pure do?... I didn’t give in to unwanted attention I didn’t give up on a friend who made mistakes I didn’t play around with others feelings I never ever spoke or thought in clichés I didn’t let myself be the weaker dealer I didn’t choose a path of mediocrity I didn’t pretend to be a believer I never ever betrayed my soul Brought up in privilege Shallowness is deep Haunted by the most common heterosexism Born in a basket But bred like a queen Distorted By consumerism And by patriarchy
