Maybe I should have gone To some more places all along And maybe we should have smiled At all the faces like a child Now is the time for forgetting Now is the time for regrets Now is the time to forgive them Now is the time to progress Wonder if I have a child, when she is older Will she be wild without fear Or will she live in this chaotic dome Of abstract prescriptions that I now know Now is the time for forgetting Now is the time for regrets Now is the time to forgive them Now is the time to progress What if I close my eyes for a minute and bring back the bliss But if I close my eyes for a minute I don’t know what I will miss Now is the time for forgetting Now is the time for regrets Now is the time to forgive them Now is the time to progress Now is the time for forgetting Now is the time for regrets Now is the time to forgive them Now is the time to progress Now is the time for forgetting Now is the time for regrets Now is the time to forgive them Now is the time to progress Maybe I should have gone To all the places I could have known And maybe we should have smiled At all the faces like a child

My Head 03:06
I have a playful intuition Its watch is two days fast It sees where I am going It’s done so in the past I know a rowdy redeemer With claws crooked and sharp Blood on the spleen hurt Seeping through the dark It’s in my head It’s in my head Everything I thought I was But not enough It’s in my head It’s in my head Everything I thought you were, Was more than enough I am my own commander But the opposition’s knife I’ll walk through burning embers And say I had no choice I’ll scrutinise suspicion And empathise with kin But this empathy is broken And I feel every sin It’s in my head It’s in my head Everything I thought I was But not enough It’s in my head It’s in my head Everything I thought you were, Was more than enough If I told you I’m a liar Would you have believed me? Salt, scent and fire Could well have deceived me

Mother 03:23
I love you mother yes I do I will always look up to you And how you put up with his hand I can’t accept you love this man Papa can you buy this toy For me promise I will surprise you This time I’ll be more mature At least two weeks before I’m bored Mother, can you hear me? ‘Cause I’m crying out to you Brother will you take my side But don’t ask me to hurt my pride Our blood is thick so I am sure You won’t leave me out on the floor Baby you are beautiful But I can’t help but to want more She stands there in my mercy How can you blame that I’m lonely? Mother, can you hear me? ‘Cause I’m crying out to you Mother, can you hear me? Is there nothing you can do? Mother, can you hear me? Is there nothing I can do?

Mouldy 02:53
Give me your minutes And I’ll give you my soul My head in this bottle My lips in this bowl Call me habibi And call it way too quick Leave out a key for me And then we’ll get quite sick I can be whole You can knock down my walls I know it’s no intention I can remould I’ll go to the attic I have to get my bags This place has done all it can for me I’m on my last red flag I thought I’d be completed When I set myself free I thought this flame would settle But it flickers with no breeze I can be whole You can knock down my walls I know it’s no intention I can remould My hands are cold Stone fingers hold on You’re burning me out I’m left in this drought My head’s rising up I can’t take this drop I’m running out of air Please call out your last prayer I can be whole You can knock down my walls I know it’s no intention I can remould

Réjane 03:19
The birds leave The leaves fall free Like leaving a dream Running and no time to scream The melody changes The sky fall sooty In the mirror a stranger Alone in this city Réjane if I could hold your hand Just one more time I’d be back tomorrow If I could fly Réjane if you could understand To inhale my own breath I have to step aside Mon rêve a changé Mes membres ont cassés J’ai perdu mon enfance Et trouvé un nouvel ami On a trop dansé Cet écho dans ma tête Ne s’arretait plus J’étais perdue Réjane if I could hold your hand Just one more time I’d be back tomorrow If I could fly Réjane if you could understand To inhale my own breath I have to step aside I found a new voice Don’t worry she still sounds like you Wherever I’ll be She’ll still follow me J’ai trouvé ma raison Au bord de l’océan Ou l’air est plus frais Je peux respirer Réjane being away from you Is being away from me But I still need to be free Réjane if you could hold my hand Just one more time But I still need to step aside

The boys who use Their parent’s money Are the best lovers But they don’t get What’s in my head Took me some time to discover I’ve fetched and fished For their approval Of that I won’t recover And I’ve learned That they were looking for Another mother I’ve never met One in my class As courteous and clever All the flowers And talk for hours Don’t make up for the heart you severed The checks I’ve made From the days I’ve waited Gave them time to travel But the bus is slower than the train I only get the scent From their Gravel Like blood in my veins They get in my brain And show me that I am inadequate But I can see When they look at me They’re thinking of another adjective I’ve come to the thought That we’re both better off If you stick to your plastic Barbies I have my head and the men in the shed And they’ll always be two Separate armies The boys who use Their parents money Are the best lovers But they don’t get What’s in my head One day I will Recover

I’ve been fooled I feel cheated You say you don’t know the rules Now I am defeated You brought the armour You bought me flowers To try to impress me But it just shows you’re a coward Want you to shut your mouth now Please use your head And you’re hands It’s time to mend what you’ve broken Want you to shut your mouth now Please use your head And your hands It’s time to clean up your mess Yours weren’t the first hands To lay upon my chest You act like you’ll be the last Please give my body some rest We both know you have the answers Why don’t you put them to play You came up with them yourself You seem to think it’s a game Want you to shut your mouth now Please use your head And you’re hands It’s time to mend what you’ve broken Want you to shut your mouth now Please use your head And your hands It’s time to clean up your mess It’s getting hotter in the summer And the winter is getting colder You think you’re getting wiser I’d say you’re getting older Checkmate my friend You receiving one last chance Before this game comes to an end Want you to shut your mouth now Please use your head And you’re hands It’s time to mend what you’ve broken Want you to shut your mouth now Please use your head And your hands It’s time to clean up your mess

She grows wild in the meadow He has taken his cut She’s been strong in the summer We’re so pleased that she took to the earth And she grows In the sun She has found a new body And her arms are stretched out She settles in this new heat And she carries no doubt And it’s gold In the sun Here are all of the faces That she’s not seen before They will push they will pull her To and from the floor And it’s cold With no sun Fall with the gun He falls with the gun Fall with the gun He falls with the gun Fall with the gun He falls with the gun

Call me on a Monday Tell me how you like me Tell me all the stories From the weekend you just had Call me on a Tuesday Tell me how you hate me How everything was ruined By the day that you just had And it’s raining again And I thought it would be sunny Think we all know round here It can get a little funny But Mary’s got issues Mary’s got issues Mary’s got issues So just run away Call me from house phone You said that it is raining You say that you don’t mind it But you’d prefer the sun Call me from the hotel You said you’ve gone to Malta You said it’s pretty nice here But you’d rather be in Spain And it’s raining again And I thought it would be sunny Think we all know round here It can get a little funny But Mary’s got issues Mary’s got issues Mary’s got issues At the end of the day Mary’s got issues and she needs some help Know we still love you and we want you well We all have problems inside of our heads changed your head to our heads That no one can fix for you But Mary’s got issues Mary’s got issues Mary’s got issues And that’s more than okay

Let’s clear the air between us This isn’t fair between us What you have done to me And I can see I’ve seen it That there’s a sea between us You should not have done this to me You should not have told me (That you) I want to be with you now (Love me) But I can’t be with you just now (Love me) Il y a des jours moins facile Oú je ne suis pas très docile Mais tu es resté lá Tu m’as regardé pleurer Tu m’as toujours écouté Et j’ai eu peur de ça De toi et moi ‘Cause I want to be with you now (Love me) But I can’t be with you just now (Because I would love to be) I want to be with you now (Someone who loves me) But I can’t be with you just now (Someone who can love) Je voudrais te détester Tu voulais me voir rester Que je sois prés de toi But there’s a sea between us Stop having a sea between I should not have walked into that bar

Go Away 03:27
I have been I’ve been in this place before I have seen How it has an open door And I have Stood out on the street as well Casted out But not under this casted spell I might have to go away While I still have something left to say I might have to away While I still have something left to say Je me perd Et j’en oublie qui je suis Tous mes démons Et mes travers qui me suivent Mais quand j’avance Je prend le chemin qu’il faut Et peut importe Si je dois subir ces maux I might have to go away While I still have something left to say I might have to go away While I still have something left to say I might have to go away While I still have something left to say I might have to go away While I still have something left to say
