A day in a country

We found ourselves by the riverside
On that Friday afternoon
We thought we’d share our emotions
And create something new
Dazzled by piercing rays of light
We let the sun blind ourselves
Squinting our eyes trying to make shapes
Floating away in the shades of the branches
We had a drink too many
Our heads too heavy
Everything melted: our dreams, the rays of sun and our voices
None of us came out with anything
Too disappointed to admit it
We went back home
And promised we’d make it happen next time.

My other life

Forebears everywhere
In your rich-looking house
Dark peeling walls and half furnished rooms
You’re still the host of the spectres and pictures of the past
Before the fireplace,
We're talking about your bland life
And your one-night encounters
It's too late for you to come out
You missed so many opportunities
You never really tried to keep someone
You remind me of a life I once lived
As if one night I went through your mirrors
And got back in the anteroom you live in
Forebears everywhere
In your rich-looking house

What's left

How many times must I go to this place?
Where I sit on velvet as I remember those darker days
How many times must I go to this place?
Where I sit on velvet as I remember those darker days
What’s left of this place where I’m going?
Seeing again these shadows that seem to haunt me
Oh I sink into the desire to make things beautiful
All the looks that turn their back on us
What could I lose if I let go my phoney cheerfulness
From the tightrope, I’d fall into the net
How many times must I go to this place?
Where I sit on velvet as I remember those darker days
How many times must I go to this place?
Where I sit on velvet as I remember those darker days
How long do I have to speak the truth?
Before this happy face will be destroyed.
How many times must I go to this place?
Where I sit on velvet as I remember those darker days
How many times must I go to this place?
Where I sit on velvet as I remember those darker days

She’s walking across the street, holding my arm, talking to herself
She's chatting under the bombs, dropping from heaven
Now she can get away
From human misery
So she won’t have to bear
The humiliation the enemy
Brought on her family
Too hard to believe in gods
With planes following your trail
And killing people around you
New friends and innocents
Difference being their only crime
Some planes have dropped their bombs
Now engraved on her soul
She’s walking across the street
Going back to this heaven of hers
Now she can get away
From human misery
So she won’t have to bear
The humiliation the enemy
Brought on her family

«Autant vous prévenir d'emblée, l'écoute de cet album (Black Water Dogs) est un choc d'optimisme mélancolique. Il est à
conseiller à tout le monde, pas seulement fans de musique pop -tout mélomane succombera à ces chansons douces amères. Tel spleen rappelle les artisans du genre que sont The Notwist, Grandaddy ou Flotation Toy Warning.»
Gérôme Guibert de feu-Magic.
