Now Is The Time

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?

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

Plastic Barbies
03:05
|
|||
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

The Last Chance
02:33
|
|||
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

Gold (Fall With The Gun)
03:02
|
|||
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

Mary's Got Issues
02:56
|
|||
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

There's A Sea Between Us
03:09
|
|||
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
