Drôle de Quartier

Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street

Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams all made real

All of the buildings, all of those cars
Were once just a dream
In somebody’s head

She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
She pictures a soul
With no leak at the seam

Lets take the boat out
Wait until darkness
Let’s take the boat out
Wait until darkness comes

Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey
Nowhere in the suburbs
In the cold light of day

There in the midst of it so alive and alone
Words support like bone

Dreaming of mercy st.
Wear your inside out
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of mercy st.
’swear they moved that sign
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms

Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth
Tugging at the darkness, word upon word

Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box
To the priest-he’s the doctor
He can handle the shocks

Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips
Of kissing mary’s lips

Dreaming of mercy st.
Wear your insides out
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy’s arms again
Dreaming of mercy st.
’swear they moved that sign
Looking for mercy
In your daddy’s arms

Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy
Mercy, mercy, looking for mercy

Anne, with her father is out in the boat
Riding the water
Riding the waves on the sea

Garbage - Milk

I am milk
I am red hot ketchup
And I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean

I am lost
So I am cruel
But I’d be love and sweetness
If I had you

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

I am weak
But I am strong
I can use my tears to
Bring you home

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

I am milk
I am red hot ketchup
I am cool
Cool as the deep blue ocean

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you
I’m aching
I’m aching for you

I’m waiting
I’m waiting
I’m waiting for you

Matmatah - The Grave Digger

How far i remember the day I lost my wife
I thought that losing her was the end of my life
But I held on and thought there was something better
Than sinking like a stone, so I became a gravedigger

Staying home, living alone, dropping tears on my own
I do have never known where these voices came from
As sweet as the morn, they were just saying :
"Son Hey, there's work to be done among coffins and bones"

Then all over the years, buried pounds of corpses
Saw gallons of tears and drank thousands of beers
I buried some lawyers
I buried some junkies
I buried some preachers
I buried some bitches
I buried my mother
I buried my sister
I buried some miners
I buried gravediggers

Old enough to give in, I am digging your vault
And in the state i'm in, you may think it's not yours
Digging deeper and deeper as you're getting ever colder
Anyhow you can rave, I won't fall in the grave

For the rest of my years, I'll bury pounds of corpses
See gallons of tears and drinks thousands of beers
I'll bury you lawyers
I'll bury you junkies
I'll bury you preachers
I'll bury you bitches
I'll bury your Queen
I'll bury you mother
I'll bury your King
Oh, I'll bury you brother

Yes, I'll bury you dreamers
And bury your teachers
And bury you friend
And I'll bury ...
Yes I'll bury you Hereos
And bury your singers
And bury you Kinds
And I'll bury
Gravediggers

Noir Désir - L'appartement

Attends-toi à c'que je me traîne
A tes pieds, Laura, j'ai constaté que même
Un silence de toi, pouvait pousser mon rire à mourir

Attends-moi, toi tu es la reine
Des sommets, l'orage sévit dans les plaines
Tu ne m'entends pas, je suis parasité malgré moi

Elle a su, simplement
Enfermer mon coeur dans son appartement

Avec ou sans toi, j'ai quelques problèmes
Tu t'en fous, Laura, j'suis désolé quand même
Si tu vas par-là, ça me convient aussi dépose-moi

Encore une fois, c'est d'en bas que j'appelle
Elle se penche parfois de son nid d'hirondelle
Daigne me recevoir, ne me laisse pas de place pour m'asseoir

Elle a su, simplement
Changer les clefs de son coeur
Et de l'appartement

Attends-toi à c'que je me traîne
A tes pieds, Laura, en attendant je sais
Que le jour viendra, où je pourrai en mourir de rire

Archive - Sleep

The enemy is after me again
Afraid of the sea and what’s down there
I need to sleep
It’s been a whole week

Cos tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold

I need to sleep
It’s been a whole week

Cos tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold

My bones keep breaking
Tearing me away from the quiet
The silence of my soul, of my soul from the quiet

Night time, gruelling, just time to waste
Heights they kill me, leave scarring on my face

Cos’ I never, ever, ever fall into sleep?
And I’ve never ever ever felt so weak

Cos’ tears keep falling into my pool
Bright lights driving right into me cold

My bones keep breaking
Tearing me away from the quiet
The silence of my soul, of my soul from the quiet

I wanna fall down (Repeat x 5)
