Lyrics

In the horizon She is so alone She searches for what was left behind She yells, she cries Her hands are full of dust and blood Far, far from that scream Six fingers in one hand, she holds the dawn Far, she seems so far, so far You, flesh of my blood Blood of my flesh You never fall asleep Over my dead body "Il a vรฉcu tantรดt gai comme un sansonnet Tour ร  tour amoureux insoucieux et tendre Tantรดt sombre et rรชveur comme un triste Clitandre Un jour il entendit qu'ร  sa porte on sonnait C'รฉtait la Mort! Alors il la pria d'attendre Qu'il eรปt posรฉ le point ร  son dernier sonnet; Et puis sans s'รฉmouvoir, il s'en alla s'รฉtendre Au fond du coffre froid oรน son corps frissonnait Et quand vint le moment oรน, las de cette vie Un soir d'hiver, enfin l'รขme lui fut ravie Il s'en alla disant: Pourquoi suis-je venu?" [Go baby, don't worry 'Cause there's no other Escape...] Horizon is full of faces They yell They yell for someone who's gone No light Their body is burnt No hand No mouth They yell for someone who can remember What they were In the horizon, those faces They yell for someone who can remember What they were "L'homme est malade parce qu'il est mal construit. [...] Je ne suis pas fou! [... ] On a rรฉinventรฉ les microbes pour imposer une nouvelle idรฉe de dieu. [...] Alors vous lui rรฉapprendrez ร  danser ร  l'envers [...] et cet envers sera son vรฉritable endroit. " A saving madness Cast by leafless trees Caution the sun filtered to smoking ruins From an austral of unburied dead gods Cool shadows fall over strong ideas Cutting off the edge of time "An object is the result of looking at something which, in itself, has no quality or charm. I pick something which in itself has no meaning at all. I disregard completely the aesthetic quality of the object. I'm against craftsmanship. I say the world is full of wonderful craftsmen but there are very few practical dreamers. In the early days in Paris, when I first came over, and I passed by a hardware shop and I saw a flatiron in the window, I said: there's an object which is almost invisible, maybe I could do something with that? What could I do to add something in it that was provocative? So I got a box of tacks and glued on a roll of tacks to (it) to make it useless, as I thought, but nothing is really useless, you can always find a use even for the most extravagent object."
