La Ville 02:48
Passant les sapins Caché dans la main Ou va le ciel silencieux L'odeur des voies bitumes Les bisous d'adieu L'escortent toujours Et font la mémoire courte Un salut muet qui flotte À travers l'anémie des gens Se tresse dans l'ariette Ils attendent le train Dans la ville éteinte Dans les ombres dans les cheveux Ce n'est pas l'inspiration Je ne suis pas un songe-creux Le temps est bien celé Les nuages par moi appelés Il y a du calme dans les rues Ainsi soit-il!

Changing 04:03
Rage is what you feel, but it won’t do, dear, to make me swallow the tears that you caused because, strange is how I feel when you try to kill the last bits of me, well, I don’t think I will change for you, no, I won’t. I don’t think I’ll let you make me your doll that crawls for you when you fall. Mine is the shade that you’re trying to be and your is the stage where I’ll never be seen. We’ve got to find another place where I won’t be chased by your continuous cage. No, I don’t think I’ll change for you, no, I won’t. I don’t think I’ll let you make me your doll that crawls for you when you fall. I won’t change for you, would you change for me, girl? It’s all in your memories.

Hey, let’s end this meaningless trip the ice we’re walking on is melting and melting and melting. The night buses ain’t gonna wait. Don’t show me that warmth of my eyes sends shivers down your spine. What have I found out, it’s cold and I’m shaking. I see now how easily can a naked man fall in love.

Duet 03:32
If I’m in the north and you in the south – what’s between us? If I’m in the north and you in the south – what’s between us? A bunch of elephants and lots of empty space and definitely a glass of lemonade. If I’m in the north and you in the south – what’s between us? If I take one step to the north and you one to the south – who stands between us? If I take one step to the north and you one to the south – what’s between us? Tears and fears of modern men – almost nothing, says Gagarin’s fen If I take one step to the north and you one to the south – who stands between us? I’ve been dreaming of us standing on the poles the world disappeared and my feet suddenly touched yours we were the perfect peg top swinging around we were the sound of big bang, astra lux I’ve been dreaming of us standing on the poles If I’m in the north and you in the south – what’s between us? If I’m in the north and you in the south – what’s between us? A bunch of elephants and lots of empty space and definitely a glass of lemonade. If I’m in the north and you in the south – what’s between us?

Keep On 04:10
I'll take you out it's a fair or exhibition Bring your best behavior and munitions Flirt and charm the public's hungry But don't let them grab your neck They came to watch Now they want to eat you I'll just keep on using you that's the only thing I can do You're my sweet inspiration - eternal while it lasts So shake your tail, jump and bark all over the place But I'll just keep on... using you One more bow and you'll get your master's kiss The stage is covered in sweat, but don't choke on the flowers you'll get Dream and wish, while you're on my leash But don't ever want to quit I'll just keep on using you that's the only thing I can do You're my sweet inspiration - eternal while it lasts So shake your tail, jump and bark all over the place But I'll just keep on... using you

The days are preposterous My longing is absurd My arms have lengthened Reaching the nod The meaning of all this grief - congee to my precious shoes My heart sank into those heals And as they died in a ditch, so did my weal I'll drink salty water Damn and bemoan the day I left my shoes to die on Prenzlauer Allee I walked away Incite to sorrow After my shoes, my feet, my toes, my rotten trick The meaning of this decree - farewell to my precious shoes I'll kick up my heels My shoes died in a ditch and so did my weal

September 04:48
ko greš sam septembra na sprehod in te spremljajo sence izgubljenih ljudi ko je park le sestanek z drevesi, ki te vodijo v vrsti mimo rožnih poti če jesen lahko potrga jim liste in ti pokrade spomine na prebedele noči september je za te stvari september je, da ti vzame vse, česar zdaj več ni ko parfum, ki ga srečaš na poti, se zate ne zmeni, čeprav te pozna če poljub, ki nič ne pomeni, ti vzame besede za dan ali dva september je za te stvari september je, da ti vzame vse, kar te boli če lase ti topel veter počeše in ti odnese z obraza sledove tujih dlani če na klop se vsede ptica pozabe in ti noče zapeti o večnosti Pa pa pa pa..

Murky Twist 05:48
I lost my shadow in a desert hurricane running to a peak on which I never came, it disappeared behind my back leaving me naked and deaf. In all the sand which stuffed my ears I couldn’t hear the noise it made being ripped of my feet and flown away. Sixteen years passed, behind seven hills and no lakes I’m still searching for the darker me I’m twice as old – I shouldn’t be. If I found it now, it wouldn’t help me anymore, hunting made me turn in to a crawler. Chanting vacant melodies won’t bring me back my loss and sanity. Shadow’s gone and I’m stuck with ugly frippery, there’s a giant elephant walking over my heart. I found my skin in a desert hurricane and I lost it when I came too near. I’m still not sure, was it pride or was it fear. If I grabbed it then it wouldn’t bring my glory back, hoping made me inherently blunt. Pleasing lies and wishful words define my mind as I try to get it back dancing to forgotten tunes and whispering old bookish spells drawing sketches in the sand just to ease my impish game; jealous public’s keeping me lorn I’m playing a game that I’ve already lost so I’ll let my shadow go and save me from all future tosh. Combining puzzles that fell of off me is what I’ve been sentenced to do, since I lost my shadow and my ears. If I stuck it back it wouldn’t help me anymore dying’s making me hopelessly bored. Chanting vacant melodies won’t bring me back my loss and sanity. Dancing to forgotten tunes and whispering spells drawing sketches in the sand just to ease my impish game; jealous public’s keeping me lorn I’m playing a game that I’ve already lost so I’ll let my shadow go and save me from all future tosh.

We are coming down to have some material talk We're unwanted at this party that's why we've moved here Chill out, have a tonic with the heroes of the past We're in the mood for material talk So what can you do for us In the mood for material talk You've seen my picture in the papers so what can we get from you We are driving down to get some tonic in the bar At first it feels lik hunger then like the Czech Absynth This music's like synthetic substitute for something else For material talk What can you do for us We are in the mood for material words We're playing ping-pong while we're smiling We're the pianists of the future times We're in the mood for material talk and we're coming down

Magnolia 05:31
Are you crying? Why you’re crying so loudly? Thinking of the past? Are you talking? Who you’re talking to so late at night? Nobody wonders, nobody asks, no one in town who would light a match for you.
