Monarchy of Roses

The crimson tide is flowing through your fingers as you sleep
The promise of a clean regime are promises we keep.
Do you like it rough I ask and are you up to task?
The catacombs of bet and bone our cultures come to clash

Chorus

The saviour of love my best friends wear, the colours of the crown
And Mary wants to fill it up, and Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl
The saviour of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses, tonight

The cloth between my former queen, her legendary stare
The holy tears that I am in, the lovely cross to bear

Chorus

The saviour of love my best friends know, the secrets of this town
And Mary wants to raise it up, and Sherry wants to spit it all around, girl
The sailors of the night
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses, tonight

Solo

The saviour of love my best friends wear, the colours of the crown
And Mary wants to fill it up, and Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl
The saviour of your light
The monarchy of roses
The monarchy of roses tonight

Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will, and then I'll say I want to
The story of love that I will never taunt you

Hey yeah
We all want the rose you know
I said
Hey yeah
Show us love before you go
Say I will, and then I'll say I want to
The story of love that I will always want you

Monarchy of Roses

La marée rouge carmin coule entre tes doigts pendant que tu dors
Les promesses d'un régime propre sont des promesses que nous gardons
La joues-tu dur ? Je le demande, es-tu à la tâche?
Les calicots de Pettibon(1) où les cultures vont au clash

Chorus

Plusieurs de mes meilleurs amis portent les couleurs de la couronne
Et Mary veut la construire, et Sherri veut tout faire s'effondrer
Le sauveur de ta lumière
La monarchie des roses
La monarchie des roses ce soir

Le croisement entre mon ancienne reine, son regard légendaire
Les saintes larmes d’Irlande, une adorable croix à porter

Chorus

Plusieurs de mes meilleurs amis connaissent les secrets de cette ville
Et Mary veut la faire s'élever, et Sherri veut tout faire tournoyer
Les marins de la nuit
La monarchie des roses
La monarchie des roses ce soir

Solo

Plusieurs de mes meilleurs amis portent les couleurs de la couronne
Et Mary veut la construire, et Sherri veut tout faire s'effondrer
Le sauveur de ta lumière
La monarchie des roses
La monarchie des roses ce soir

Eh ouais
Nous voulons tous la rose tu sais
J'ai dit
Eh ouais
Montres-nous l'amour avant que tu ne partes
Dis je vais puis dis je veux
L'histoire sait que jamais je ne me moquerai de toi

Eh ouais
Nous voulons tous la rose tu sais
J'ai dit
Eh ouais
Montres-nous l'amour avant que tu ne partes
Dis je vais puis dis je veux
L'histoire sait que toujours je te hanterai

Factory of Faith

All my life I was swinging for the fence,
I was looking for the triple,
Never playing good defence

Gunnin' for the glitter,
Every hot and heavy hitter,
She was never really there so I couldn't really get her

I said
Factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it

Piece of work, I was really quite a jerk
Keeping score is such a bore, a busy mind can go bazerk
Oh
Feast on this, I was fishing for a hook
So I took a little trip, and I opened up the book

I said
Factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
Factually I, its just a medicine
Make you wanna cry, why don't they let us in?

Be my wife, I think your right that we should mate
Tell your friends, I gotta factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I gotta factory of faith
I got a factory of....

Crack your whip, she's confessing from the hip
She was good at getting there, but not as much for round-trip
Oh, all this time, I was searching for a dream
I was living in and out of every other sex machine

I said
Factually I, I'm just a piece of it
Factually I, the very least of it
Factually I, it's just a medicine
Makes you wanna cry, why don't they let us in?

Be my wife, I think your right that we should mate
Tell your friends, I gotta factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I gotta factory of faith
I got a factory of....

Be my wife, I think your right that we should mate
Tell your friends, I gotta factory of faith
Late last night, I had a dream that it was great
Tell your friends, I gotta factory of faith
I got a factory of...
Faith
And love
And luh-oooh-uh-ooh-uhh-ooh-uh-ooh-ove

Factory of Faith

Toute ma vie je me suis remué pour sauter les barrières
Je cherchais le triple
Sans jamais jouer la défensive

On flinguait pour la gloire
Chaque gros cogneur
Elle n'était jamais vraiment là donc je n'ai jamais vraiment pu l'avoir

J'ai dit
Dans les faits, je n'en suis qu'un morceau
Dans les faits, le morceau le plus infime

Bribes de travail, j'étais vraiment un imbécile
Garder le score est une telle corvée, un esprit occupé peut entrer en fureur
Oh
Faites en un festin, je pêchais pour un crochet
J'ai donc fait un petit voyage lorsque j'ai ouvert le livre

J'ai dit
Dans les faits, je n'en suis qu'un morceau
Dans les faits, le morceau le plus infime
Dans les faits, c'est juste le médicament
Te donnes envie de pleurer, pourquoi ne nous laissent-ils pas entrer?

Sois ma femme, Tu as raison lorsque tu dis que nous sommes fais l'un pour l'autre
Dis à tes amis que j'ai une usine de croyance
Tard la nuit dernière j'ai fait le rêve que c'était génial
Dis à tes amis que j'ai une usine de croyance
Que j'ai une usine de...

Brise ton fouet, elle se confesse à la va-vite
Elle avait tout bon pour l'aller mais pas autant pour le retour
Oh, tout ce temps je cherchais un rêve
Je glissais dans et hors toutes les autres machines de sex

J'ai dit
Dans les faits, je n'en suis qu'un morceau
Dans les faits, le morceau le plus infime
Dans les faits, c'est juste le médicament
Te donnes envie de pleurer, pourquoi ne nous laissent-ils pas entrer?

Sois ma femme, Tu as raison lorsque tu dis que nous sommes fais l'un pour l'autre
Dis à tes amis que j'ai une usine de croyance
Tard la nuit dernière j'ai fait le rêve que c'était génial
Dis à tes amis que j'ai une usine de croyance
Que j'ai une usine de...

Sois ma femme, Tu as raison lorsque tu dis que nous sommes fais l'un pour l'autre
Dis à tes amis que j'ai une usine de croyance
Tard la nuit dernière j'ai fait le rêve que c'était génial
Dis à tes amis que j'ai une usine de croyance
Que j'ai une usine de...
Croyance
Et d'amour

Brendan’s Death Song

Live and die before I get it done,
Will you decide.
I'll take my words and turn them into sounds,
It will survive.
Because a long time ago,
I knew not to deprive.

It's safe out there and now you're everywhere, just like the sky.
And you are love,you are the love supreme, you are the rye.
And when you hear this,
You know its your jam, it's your goodbye.

Chorus

Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the drummer drums,
It's gonna play my song,
To carry me along.

Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the Boatman comes to ferry me away,
To where we all belong.

We your cost,
When we were feeling lost,
It's just the time.
Kateri cried, the day her lover died,
She recognized.
Because ya gave her,
A life of real love, it's no surprise.

The night's are long, but the years are short,
When you're alive.
Way back when, will never be again,
It was a time.
It's gonna catch you, so glad I met you, to walk a line.

Chorus

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone.
And when the drummer drums, he's gonna play my song, to carry me along.

Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the boatman comes to fairy me away, to where we all belong.

Come get me!
Hey! Hey!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the drummer drums,
Its gonna play my song,
To carry me along.

Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
And when the boatman comes to fairy me away,
To where we all belong.

Then we live,
So every time you die,
He's in the revert sky.
Lay me down,
So when it's time to leave,
Another sun will rise.

I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

And when the drummer drums,
Its gonna play my song,
To carry me along.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
And when the boatman comes to fairy me away,
To where we all belong.
(I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)

Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone.
Like I said you know I'm almost dead,
You know I'm almost gone. 

Brendan’s Death Song

Chanson de mort de Brendan

Si je meurs avant d'en avoir terminé
Décideras-tu
D'adopter mes mots et de les transformer
En signes qui survivront
Car il y a longtemps
Je savais ne pas déshériter
C'est rassurant par ici et maintenant tu es partout
Tout comme les cieux
Tu es l'amour tu es le suprême amour
Tu es la source
Et quand tu entendras cela
Tu sauras que c'est ton air
C'est ton au revoir

Comme je l'ai dit
Tu sais je suis presque mort
Tu sais je suis presque parti
Et quand le batteur jouera
Il jouera ma chanson
Pour m'accompagner
Comme je l'ai dit
Tu sais je suis presque mort
Tu sais je suis presque parti
Et quand le passeur viendra
Pour me faire traverser au loin
Vers l'endroit auquel nous appartenons tous

Nous avons tous traversé quand nous nous sentions perdus
C'est juste le cours des choses
Katari a pleuré le jour où son amour est mort
Elle l'a admis
Car il lui avait offert
Une vie de véritable amour
Ce n'est pas surprenant
Les nuits sont longues
Mais les années sont courtes
Quand vous êtes en vie
Chemin de retour vers ce qui serait révolu
Il fut un temps
Ça va vous surprendre
Je suis si heureux de vous avoir rencontrés
Pour un bout de chemin

Laissez moi vivre
Pour que quand ce sera le moment de mourir
Même la Faucheuse pleure
Laissez moi mourir
Pour que quand ce sera le moment de vivre
Un autre fils se lève

Yeah Yeah

Live to love another day,

More and more I wanna raise!
Raise my bar and raise your stay.

When I lie they're wide awake,

Chorus

Tell my boy I love him so,
Tell him so he know.
Lost in Ethiopia,
Walk out in that road.

Something good gonna come your way,

Chorus

Tell him so he know.
Lost in Ethiopia,
Walk out in that road.

EIOIEIA
Quand tu vois que ton amour passe au second plan
Un sentiment étrange grandit en toi

EIOIEIA
Tu vivra ton amour un autre jour
Et tu ne t'y sentira pas en sécurité

Je veux grandir encore plus
Faire agrandir mon bar
Et toujours retarder ton départ

EIOIEIA
Quand nous étions couchés a regarder le ciel
Je me suis dis que pour lui je ferai tout

Dis a mon fils que je l'aime
Que je l'aime trop
Dis lui
Ainsi il saura
Que même perdus en Ethiopie
Je le porterai le long de la route

EIOIEIA
Quelque chose de positif va bientôt se produire
Regarde derrière ta porte

EIOIEIA
Dis nous ce que tu voulais dire
Ne te préoccupe pas des menaces qui pèsent sur toi

Dis a mon fils que je l'aime
Que je l'aime trop
Dis lui
Ainsi il saura
Même perdus en Ethiopie
Je le porterai sur la route

EIOIEIA
Vole mon cœur et donne le lui
Donne moi l'envie de le dire

EIOIEIA
Toi et moi nous sommes les mêmes
De plus en plus chaque jour

Annie Wants a Baby

Lucy Reibart,
She's a friend of mine.
Later she'll go,
Back and redefine the line.
It's getting longer all the time.
Oh yeah
Can't get sunshine,
She likes the taste of it.
She had a goldmine,
But then she wasted it away.
You should have seen her yesterday.
Oh yeah

Chorus

Send along the way,
Nothing stops the ache,
Sugar Daddy,
Loves her madly.
Cosmo shiver 
God oh made you a believer.
I don't need to tend her,
Why do I believe you?

Annie wants a baby now
Annie wants a baby any way she can.

Missing pieces, she's got a lot of em.
Time decreases, I wish I thought of 'em before.
Before it's time to close the store.
Oh yeah

Installation,
A lonely sink of fame.
Some liberation,
The only seed we ever plant.
I wanna help you but I can't.
No, No

Chorus

Send along the way
Nothing stops the ache,
Sugar Daddy, loves her madly.
Lover leave her
God oh made you a believer.
Be our soldier,
Let her,now you've gotten older.

Annie wants a baby now.
Annie wants a baby any way she can,

It's getting longer all the time.
It's time to re-design the sign.
Oh yeah
Send along the way. 

Annie Wants a Baby

Look Around

Woo!
Stiff club, its my nature,
Custom love is the nomenclature.
Turn down mass confusion,
Hit the road because we just keep cruisin'.
Double my fun, double my vision,
Long hard look at my last decision.
Hustle here, hustle there,
Hustle me bitch and you best beware.

It's emotional and I told you so,
But you had to know so I told you.
Soft walk to horizon,
One big crash that no one dies in.
This for the folks in Pay-it-ville,
It'll come true if you say it will.
Chorus

Look around
Look around
Look around
All around
All around

It's emotional and I told you so,
But you had to know so I told you.
Please don't look right through me,
Hurts my heart when you do that to me.
Street lights out my window,
City may breeze gonna stroke my skin though.
Just a lot of words on an old brick wall,
Rob a lot of banks, got a petty greeseball,
Put my peg into your square,
Run around like we just don't care.
Chorus 

Look around
Look around
Look around
All around
All around 

Oh yeah ahh
Woo!!

Move it ah gotta get ya,
wanna getcha
Move it ah gotta get ya,
Gonna getcha

Look around
Look around
Look around
All around
All around
Oh yeah ahh 

Look Around

Woo!
Club guindé, c'est ma nature
L'amour personnalisé est la nomenclature
Rejeter la confusion de masse
On prend la route car on poursuit juste le voyage
Doubler mon amusement, doubler ma vue
Long regard critique sur ma dernière décision
Bousculade par-ci, bousculade par-là
Bouscule-moi salope et tu ferais mieux de faire gaffe à toi

C'est émotionnel et je te l'avais bien dit
Mais il fallait que tu saches alors je te l'ai dit
Douce promenade à l'horizon
Un gros crash dans lequel personne ne meurt
C'est pour les gens de Fayetteville
Ça deviendra vrai si vous l'dites
Chorus

Jeter un coup d'oeil
Jeter un coup d'oeil
Jeter un coup d'oeil
Tout autour
Tout autour

C'est émotionnel et je te l'avais bien dit
Mais il fallait que tu saches alors je te l'ai dit
S'il te plait ne regardes pas droit au travers de moi
Ça blesse mon coeur quand tu me fais ça
Vie de rue derrière ma fenêtre
La ville a fait naitre des rumeurs qui vont laisser des traces sur ma peau
Seulement beaucoup de mots sur un vieux mur de briques
Pillant plein de banques, je dois griffonner mon pedigree
Planter mon piquet sur votre place
Courir partout comme si de rien n'était
Chorus

Jeter un coup d'oeil
Jeter un coup d'oeil
Jeter un coup d'oeil
Tout autour
Tout autour

Oh yeah
Woo!!


Jeter un coup d'oeil
Jeter un coup d'oeil
Jeter un coup d'oeil
Tout autour
All around
Oh yeah ahh

Lipstick junkie be funky all he want

They wanted to unplug me
No one here is on trial
Its just a turn-around

And we go
Oh
Well and we go

Hey, now
We’ve got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
Oh Maggie makes it in her cloud

I said, hey, now
We’ve got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud

Rain dance maggie advances to the final

Little did I know her body was one delicious vinyl
To your neck of the woods
I want to lick a little bit

Hey, now
We’ve got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
Oh Maggie makes it in her cloud

You got the wrong girl
But not for long girl

Les Supputations de Maggie Danse de la Pluie

Accro au rouge à lèvre
Ridiculise le tout-en-un, elle
Est revenue arborant un sourire
Comme si quelqu'un m'avait dopé
En voulant me débrancher
Personne ici n'est en procès
C'est juste une escale
Et on y va, oh
Et puis on y va oh oh oh oh

Tic toc je veux
Vous secouer comme les années 80
Les peine-à-jouir ne sont pas admis
La locomotive Sheila
Reste dans nos mémoires
Elle qui a affirmé que trois est déjà une foule
On ferait mieux de mettre ça en route

Hey maintenant
Il faut qu'on en fasse pleuvoir d'une façon ou d'une autre
Elle m'a dit de le faire
Et m'a montré quoi faire
Notre Maggie le fait dans un nuage

Hey maintenant
Il faut qu'on en fasse pleuvoir d'une façon ou d'une autre
Elle m'a dit de le faire
Et m'a montré quoi faire
Elle sait comment faire pour que ça marche fort

Maggie Danse de la Pluie
Progresse jusqu'en finale
Qui savait qu'elle avait les informations
Petit savais-je que son corps
Était un chaud et délicieux vinyl
A ton cou des bois
Je veux donner une petite leçon

Hey maintenant
Il faut qu'on en fasse pleuvoir d'une façon ou d'une autre
Elle m'a dit de le faire
Et m'a montré quoi faire
Notre Maggie le fait dans un nuage

Tu as fait du tort jeune fille
Mais plus pour longtemps jeune fille
C'est dans la chanson jeune fille
Car je serai parti jeune fille

Hey maintenant
Il faut qu'on en fasse pleuvoir d'une façon ou d'une autre

Elle m'a dit de le faire
Et m'a montré quoi faire
Elle sait comment faire pour que ça marche fort

Mais plus pour longtemps jeune fille
C'est dans la chanson jeune fille
Car je serai parti salut salut salut ouais
Salut salut salut jeune fille

Goodbye Hooray

Junior paints that old cafe,
He's gotta change those girls around.
Westbound drunk with lots to say,
But he never makes a sound.
Hustlers get what they deserve,
But it's always half the date.
Good things come to those who wait,
Like an expiration date.

Chorus

See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight.
I lead all your mind games astray.
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around,
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight.
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray.

Curb your tongue oh scallywag,
Because you got no flag to wave.
Save your breath for the black and white,
Every dog will have its day.

Chorus

See you around, I'll see you around
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight.
I lead all your mind games astray.
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around,
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight.
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray.

Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around!

(Bass Solo)

I'll see you around, I'll see you around,

I lead all your mind games astray.
Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around,
I'll play all night, hey don't get uptight.
See you, so long, goodbye, hooray.

Well I'll see you around, I'll see you around,

Happiness Loves Company

Stop marching 'cause you think you shot to number one,
Counting days and skipping your stones into the sun.
Overrated on the form it goes to where you turn,
I'll be yours tonight,
Living the dream of a meteorite!

Stop jumping 'cause we got something to say, yeah
Young lovers keep it pumping in the streets of L.A., yeah

Short stroking butterfly,

Living the dream with a capital K!

Stop jumping 'cause we got something to say, yeah
Young lovers keep it pumping in the streets of L.A., yeah

We all learn and struggle with some loneliness.
A tender mess for everyone I guess.
I guess.

Half blinded,
I'm reminded how to find myself
Nickel and dime I think,
It's time to play some musical chairs.
Dirty laundry, what a wandering,
Ask her if she cares.

Better than ever like never before!

Stop jumping 'cause we got something to say, yeah

And is it so profound?
Is it you and me play it to one make history.
A history.

Oh yeah.
Said yeah,
Oh yeah.
Said oh yeah,
Oh yeah! 

Happiness Loves Company

Police Station

I saw you at the police station and it breaks my heart to say.
Your eyes had wandered off to something distant, cold and grey.
I guess you didn't see it coming,
Someone's gotten used to slumming.
Dreaming of the golden years,
I see you had to change careers.
Far away, but we both know its somewhere.

I saw you on the back page of some free press yesterday.
The drip wood in your eyes had nothing short of love for pain.
I know you from another picture,
Of someone with the most convictions.
We used to read the funny papers,
Fooled around and pulled some capers.
Not today, send a message to her.
A message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her.

Chorus 1

Tell your country I, 
Rest my face on your bed.
I got you ten times over, 
I'll chase you down 'til you're dead.


I saw you on a tv station and it made me wanna pray.
An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay.
What happened to the funny paper?
Smiling was your money maker.
Someone oughta situate her,
Find a way to educate her.
All the way, time to come and find you.
You can't hide from me girl, so never mind what I do.

Chorus 2

Tell your country I, 
Rest my face on your bed.
I bet my sovereign country and I, 
Left it all for your head.


I saw you in the church and there was no time to exchange.
You were getting married and it felt so very strange.
I guess I didn't see it coming,
Now I guess it's me who's bumming.
Dreaming of the golden years,
You and I were mixing tears.
Not today, not for me but someone.
I Never could get used to, so now I will refuse to.

Chorus 2

Tell your country I, 
Rest my face on your bed.
I bet my sovereign country and I, 
Left it all for your head
I got my best foot forward and I'll 
Chase you down 'til you're dead. 

Police Station

Even You Brutus?

God is good and fate is great,
When it feels so strong it's hard to wait.
You never know how it might unfold,
Hearts to break and bodies to hold.
Time will tell but it never gets old.
Like I told you I'm in for the long long.

Had to of been one of those things that took place in outer space.
A match made in heaven, not a scratch on her face.
Angels must have smoked some dust,
Singing songs about "In God We Trust".
Something sly, but this is a must.

Like I told you there's a time for finding out.

Ah people try to tell me what not to do,
"You shouldn't make it with a younger girl." and
Too many chances for the foot to drop,
I tried to tell 'em that I found a pearl, well...

Like I told you be careful what you're asking for.

Chorus

This is to Brutus!
Gotta mess of a better hell. Ow!
This is to Judas!
Even you never had my back.


She was the cutest thing that I ever did see.
A drink in her hand and I don't mean tea.
She was with a dude, but I just didn't care.
I had to find out, these moments are rare.
And Stevie says, "All is fair."

Like I told you there is something for everyone.

Well I guess I never told you some things that I really, really wanted to say.
Did I do everything I could do, or did the mice just need to play?

Like I told you there's more than meets the eye.

Chorus

This is to Brutus!
Gotta mess of a better hell. Ow!
This is to Judas!
Even you never had my back.


I'm not trying to point fingers at you, and I'm not trying to lay any blame.
But when it comes to the punishment, girl you know how to bring the pain.

Like I told you I'd do it all again.

This is to Brutus!
I gotta mess of a better hell. Ow!
This is to Judas!
Even you never had my back.

Come on

This is to Brutus!
There's a jury to the woman's lap. Ow!
This is to Judas!
Even you never had my back 

Even You Brutus?

Dieu est bon et le destin heureux
Mais quand il est malheureux c’est dur d’attendre
Tu ne sauras jamais vraiment comment ça se déroulera
Les cœurs brisés et les corps qui s’accrochent à la vie
Le temps est ton ennemi, qui ne vieillit jamais
Je te l’ai déjà dit, je suis ici pour un long long moment
 
J’aurai pu être une de ces choses qui stagnent dans l’espace
Une allumette au paradis qui aurait brulé sur son visage
Les anges ont dû fumer la poussière (la moquette)
 Mais on chante encore des chansons sur notre foi
Un truc en plus qui nous rend plus heureux
Je te l’ai déjà dit, il y a un temps pour tout
 
Les gens pensent bon de me dire ce que je dois faire
Tu ne devrais pas aimer de fille aussi jeunes et
Tu as trop de chance de vivre avec moi
J’essaye de leur expliquer que j’ai trouvé la perle rare
Je te l’ai déjà dit, sois prudent sur ce que tu dis
 
Hey, la sœur de Brutus
J’ai dû oublier d’aller en enfer
Hey, la sœur de Judas
Toi aussi, tu n’as pas eu mon derrière
 
Elle était la chose la plus mignonne que j’aie jamais vue
Un verre à la main et c’était pas du thé
Elle était avec un mec, mais je m’en foutais
Je devais l’aborder car je ne la voyais pas souvent par ici
Et Stevie dit «  c’est juste »
Je te l’ai déjà dit, il y a quelqu’un qui t’attend quelque part
 
J’espère n’avoir jamais dit de choses inutiles
Ai-je fais tout ce que je pouvais ou y a-t-il un autre moyen de te voir
Je te l’ai déjà dit, il y a beaucoup de choses qui arrivent a mes yeux
 
Chorus
 
Je ne veux pas te montrer du doigt
Je ne te blâme pas du tout
Mais quand viendra la sentence finale
Tu sauras comment atténuer ta douleur
Je te l’ai déjà dit, j’ai fait tout ce que j’ai pu
 
Hey, la sœur de Brutus
Les femmes ont une colère fulgurante
Hey, la sœur de Judas
Toi aussi tu n’a pas vu mon derrière

Meet Me at the Corner

Please don't ask me who,
Uh who you think I am.
I could live without that,
I'm just a modest man.

Meet at the corner and uh,
Tell me what to do cause I messed up on you.
And had I known all that I do now,
I'm guessing we're through now.
Receding into the forest I will,
Lay around and wait and I'll wait for you.

Please don't ask me where,
Where you think I've been.
I been a lot of places,
But this could be my win.

Meet at the corner where I,
Tell me what to do cause I messed up on you.
And had I known all that I do now,
I'm guessing we're through now.
Receding into the forest I will,
Lay around and wait and I'll wait for you.

I feel so bad thought you'd oughta know,
I feel so bad thought you'd oughta know.
Something I wanna show,
I thought you'd oughta know.

Please don't say you want,
To keep in touch out there.
To see you on the corner,
That I just can't bear.

Meet at the corner and uh,
Tell me what to do cause I messed up on you.
And had I known all that I do now,
I'm guessing we're through now.
Receding into the forest I will,
Lay around and wait...

And I turn,
I turn my head when I thought I saw a sign from the gods.
A sign from the gods that you were meant to be mine, and it's fine.
Taking it over around to the day that its gone.
I'm mystified by where it all went wrong, when it's gone.
I live and I love and I lose and I win,
But its better than ever whenever I'm in.
Thank you girl for everywhere that we've been.

Meet Me at the Corner

Retrouve-moi au coin de la rue

S'il te plait ne me demande pas qui
Pour qui tu me prends
Je pourrais vivre sans
Je suis vraiment un homme bien

Retrouve-moi au coin de la rue
Et dis-moi quoi faire
Car tu m'as fichu en l'air
Et si j'avais su
Tout ce que je sais maintenant
Je sens que tout est fini maintenant
De retour dans la forêt
Je trainerai aux alentours
Et je t'attendrai

S'il te plait ne me demande pas où
Tu crois que j'étais où
Je suis allé à plein d'endroits
Mais ça pourrait être ma victoire

Je suis si déçu
Je croyais que tu voudrais savoir
Quelque chose que je veux prouver
Je croyais que tu devais savoir

S'il te plait ne dis pas que tu veux
Qu'on reste en contact là-bas
Te voir dans le coin
Ça vraiment je ne le supporterais pas

Hey et je tourne
Je tourne ma tête croyant
Voir un signe
Des dieux
Un signe des dieux
Dit que tu n'étais pas destinée à être mienne
Et c'est très bien

Je prends tout ça pour une balade
Jusqu'au jour où ce sera révolu
Laissé perplexe par l'endroit
Où tout a mal tourné
Quand ce sera révolu

Je vis et j'apprends
Et je perds et je gagne
Mais c'est mieux que jamais
A chaque fois que j'y suis
Je te remercie jeune fille
Pour tous ces endroits où nous sommes allés
