Track Name: 1 . Can Be Fine
CAN BE FINE

From nowhere to nobody
From the sea to the last tree
From the deep to your place
It can shine on my face

From your cheese to my window pane
From magnetic fields to the end of the lane
From the president’ socks to watermelon seeds
It can shine in my deeds

From nowhere to nobody
From the sea to the last tree
From the deep to your place
It can shine on my face

Track Name: 3 . Olof
OLOF

Climbing too soon.
Eating the moon.
Olof's drunk feet slides in the snow.
He thoughts of warm hands upon his chest to calm him down.

He begins to count
one two three four, five six seven eight nine ten
Everyone look like ghosts in this everlasting night.
Faked figures laughing.
Tomorrow he'll be hunting again.

Climbing too soon.
Eating the moon.
Olof, looking at one of these statues made of ice, says : « Marry me soon.
Marry me soon and I'll be still. »
Tomorrow I will find the beast who'll be kind to me.
We will make a pact under the black tree.
And I'll be still; I’ll join you with a cold breath.
(bis)
With a cold breath.

We will make a pact under the black tree
(bis)
Track Name: 4 . Plastic Pastries
Plastic Pastries - Guerine Regnaut

Put on my dress on and pretend to be me
Sweet pastries and whiskey in each hand
Trying to be happy here for a second or an hour

I promise with my dress on you'll feel like I do
ready for a caress and a smile
But so hard to sit near to

You 're tryind your best here
and God I know you do
but though this is freaky
I will do the same for you

I may wear my fear as a jacket
I may put my hopes in my pocket
I shall stick a smile on my face and go try to ride this feeling
That you put inside of me
I'll feel alright with the shiny
like with fake plastick pastries
Track Name: 5 . Interlude
INTERLUDE

We ‘re shaking hands and We’ve emptied our heads
So we could forget that /
We’ve got it all begun

We share the same space and
We’ve built the same place
And none, none of us cares
We’ve got it all begun

We loose it
We loose it

We’ve emptied our hands and We’re shaking our heads
but none of us could sleep
We’ve got it all begun

We ‘re carrying our mess and we seed our own place
so now, now you should care
We’ve got it all begun
We loose it
We loose it
Track Name: 6 . Water Bed Song
Water bed song


Night time
It’s been raining for days
And now going to bed
Is like jumping in waters deep

The Light, it is blue and moves in slow motion
I’m drawing circles under water

I’m shaking all around to see if you’re near
Only bubbles’ noïses in my ears
When I go dreaming in my bed under seas


And most of the time
I find stories instead
Bedtime stories full of rain
Track Name: 7 . No News
No News

Breathe by my side or you can suffocate too
Breathe in the shade of my pride and you don' t tell me what's new


Hear what you can or you can try to be deaf
Hear in the shade of my thoughs and you can't tell me what's new

Breathe by my side or you can suffocate too
Breathe in the shade of my pride and you don' t tell me what's new
Hear what you can or you can try to be deaf
Hear in the shade of my thoughs and you can't tell me what's new
Track Name: 8 . Honeycomb
HONEYCOMB – Smudie

There’s a cat, sit in a window
Licking itself, languidly in the sun
In the Sun

There’s a child, in the playground
Looking up, she suddenly starts to run
She starts to run

I am not that cat cool and aughty,
I am not that kid full of fun,
I am not my father favorite daughter
I’m not my mother only son

Toss a coin and see what happens
Look out, here I come
Why is it so uneasy to eat on your honeycomb
On your honeycomb
Track Name: 9 . Dead Man Song
DEAD MAN SONG

And when I came back from the hunt
‘see my good wife lying on the ground
Behind my blood tears , I heard a shot gun
Oh the white men they were burning my hometown

And I say no oh oh
There is no Lord oh oh
Who could protect me under this bloody moon
Oh no oh oh
I just have to run
There is no Lord not far away from home
And me I got nothing
I ain’t got no horse
He left before me, the woods save his soul
I had to run far away for home
And here begun my freewhelin’ fall


In the big city, there was this man
He gave me money , while I traced circles in the sand
He said to me : “when you’ve been knock out
You know a man’s best friend is a gun and he laughed”

And so it came on my wife death birthday
I killed a shadow, I killed a man
I ran ran ran, I ran ran ran
I had no blessings on my own
Track Name: 10 . Groenland
GROENLAND (Greenland)

When your lips turn to molasses
I wouldn't know what to do
When your kiss turns to a tasteless gum
I wouldn't know what to do
So maybe I'll just go to Groenland
Where the ice returns to sand
And so you will
