Chansons D'Une Inconnue

Cliffs 04:52
You are the cliffs I am the water We never mix You never falter No matter how hard I crash down on you You never give in to me I never get through to you Standing on the cliff tops looking down Would you ever notice I’m around? I’m on on that horizon coming in Take me before the tide goes out again You’re standing tall, I’m going under You bring the wind, I bring the thunder, The birds prefer you and your heights and views, When I try to swim to you, They all fly away from me Standing on the cliff tops looking down Would you ever notice I’m around? I’m on on that horizon coming in Take me before the tide goes out again

The Wolves 04:12
Down by the water's edge they found me, They didn't know anything about me, Their words didn't make no sense, I stared blank-eyed into the wilderness And nobody knew my name, Except the wolves that brought me up into this world 'Cause I'm a different kind of girl I'm wild at heart, At one with nature And the wolves have been the closest friends of mine For a thousand years Home is where the heart is My heart lies in the woods The woods gave me protection That the people never could And the wolves go ooh ooh And then I go ooh ooh They tried to anaesthetise me But how the sparks they flew out of me And breaking out in self-defence Somehow escaped back to the wilderness Where forests are forever green The birds and I can always trust the sun to rise It's funny how the breeze would never lie I'm wild at heart At one with nature And the wolves have been the closest friends of mine For a thousand years Home is where the heart is My heart lies in the woods The woods gave me protection That the people never could And the wolves go ooh ooh And then I go ooh ooh

Neptune 05:24
When was the last time you said you loved me? I counted seven days since I said I’m sorry So why do you need way more apologies? I’m running near empty, I gave you the last of me You just take you never give back Now maybe you see what it looks like When you love someone and they let you down Not gonna beg all through the night But I would have forgiven you I could have waited all my life I’m never good enough for you Come on and say it, I know you’re dying to Me with my red eyes, you with your jealousy It never worked out. I never thought it could Maybe next time you’ll know, To never leave your girl alone Now darling it’s too late, To start being nice and keeping me up late Cos the feelings gone and I’ll be moving on Not gonna beg all through the night But I would have forgiven you I could have waited all my life I’m never good enough for you

Write a thousand songs just to turn your head They suck compared to yours Hang around in dives where I hope you’ll arrive Until I hit the floor Try to make you love me with my credit card I'll only end up broke Try to win you over with my cigarettes… I bet you’d tell me you don’t smoke, But we all know you do Cos I’ve seen you in the flesh that one time, Do you remember? How my body shook, I was nervous, And high at the same time as you were killing me I’m not surprised You don’t remember me at all Wonder in what city you are playing tonight And who you’re dragging to your hotel I could grow a habit just to purchase from you Don’t tell me you got nothing to sell, Cos we all know you do, Cos I joined you in the street that one time, Didn’t you notice? How I stared at you, With my drunk eyes, And the city drunk in daylight as you were killing me I’m not surprised You don’t remember me at all

No matter where I find them - it always ends the same And no matter how I love them - they leave me feeling just the same No matter where they come from - one day they gonna go No matter how I need them, so why they leaving, I guess I’ll never know You’re just like all the others I’ve known There ain’t nothing that special bout you Yeah I’m better off on my own It’s got nothing to do with you It’s got nothing to do with you Continue on your journey - continue breaking hearts You know where to find me, sweeping up those pieces of the past Continue with the lame games - I don’t know how to play I’ll soon forget your smile, with all the others, that come along the way You’re just like all the others I’ve known Ain’t nothing that special bout you Yeah I’m better off on my own It’s got nothing to do with you

I could’ve been a great musician Could have played a million shows There’s always been that one thing missing But where to get it I don’t know Could’ve been a hero, a goddess, someone to look up to You’re thinking maybe she’s being too tough on herself Well it’s been coming up close to ten years that I tried to But is chasing this life way too bad for my health, now I’m wondering Is it too late to turn this life back around? Or is it time that I thought about leaving this town? I could’ve been the greatest lover; in fact I do believe I was, Don’t come hard to love another, when you never loved yourself enough I could be poet a writer, someone who speaks volumes But I got nothing so brilliant to say for myself Singing the praises of others who tell me I’m no good Agreeing with those who have left me for somebody else, I’m still wondering Is it too late to turn this life back around? Or is it time that I thought about leaving this town?

The Shakes 04:02
Toujours pas de nouvelles de toi Ça sent le fin inévitable, j’aurais du savoir Tu m’as dit que je suis parfaite Mais il s’avère que tu mens Car on s’est toujours pas revu Depuis la veille de nouvel an Et c’est marrant tu sais Premier soir qu’on s’est vu C’est ton ami qui m’a embrassé Tu l’as remarqué ou pas? J’ai pas osé t’en parler ou le cracher comme ça Mais comment j’aurais su que je t’aimerais bien Avant l’affection je n’attendais rien Mais c’est ton toucher qui m’a pris J’au eu de la chance de me glisser dans ton lit On refais ça un tout dernier fois ? La courte échelle dans le square Sourire dans la noir Un ‘tit joint sous les arbres Et toi la plus grande arbre qui m’envelope dans tes branches Je te suis sur les escaliers C’est moi l’oiseau qui tremble dans ta cage Puis je te dis que je suis nerveuse Et tu me tires plus près Ouais.. je sais Tu n’as plus envie de moi Pas besoin de me dire deux fois Mais là je suis sure T’es au meme putain de bar Avec les meme bande de mecs Ça ne changera pas Moi je passe la soirée sur les meme boulevards Le meme vin dans le ventre Meme putain d’espoir Faubourg st denis jusqu’à rue saint maur Avenue ledru rollin vers avenue gambetta Là je sais plus pourquoi je ne rentre pas chez moi Comme si j’ai le soupçon qu’on va surement se voir Ah je ne peux rien faire putain Ecrire un message non ça sert a rien Meme si il y a des choses qui reste a te dire Elle est bien trop tard T’as trop fumé pour me lire Je ne partage plus ce que j’ai dans la tete Mais ça va, ça va aller J’ai vécu pire t’inquiètes, J’ai l’habitude de vivre avec le coeur brisé Et boire comme un poisson pour oublier Je me coupe les cheveux Je change mon nom Je pars très loin et pour très longtemps Et dans quelques années Quand j’aurais mille ans Je vais te voir Je vais te voir Je vais te voir Je vais t’avoir

In The Past 04:32
Yes you are my first love If we dont count the others ones But dont worry it's nobody you know I'll pretend that I'm innocent Little hummingbird naive in your hand So you dont obsess about the others I've known It's all in the past But you dig it up, drag it out, Throw my name around the town, Then you look at me in disgust Don't you my love And I could have sworn that its true On my life and yours too that you were worse Or just as bad as me So why am I the one to be reviewed Not you, my love I admit I've been generous Seems that giving my heart out ain't enough But what's so bad about needing to be loved If you craved something brand new Untouched, unscathed and never used Then my dear I ain't the one for you It's all in the past But you dig it up, drag it out, Throw my name around the town, Then you look at me in disgust Don't you my love And I could have sworn that its true On my life and yours too that you were worse Or just as bad as me So why am I the one to be reviewed Not you, my love

Je confesse qu'il me faut du temps De tendresse je n'en attendais pas tant La détresse me va comme un gant On me laisse pour un long moment Rien dans ce monde ne me retient Bonne journée, adieu triste amour Pense à moi un peu moins chaque jour Adieu triste amour Adieu triste amour Ma jeunesse ne fout pas le camp Dans l'ivresse tout est mieux qu'avant Chaque seconde me revient Bonne journée, adieu triste amour N'oublie pas que c'était nos beaux jours Loin des remparts de la prison Regarder l'arbre, n'y voir qu'un tronc Un tronçon d'âme moribond M'appelle au calme à la raison Adieu triste amour Adieu triste amour

It’s getting late and I want you to love me So I send an SOS to let you know But of course you don’t reply And I start going crazy ‘Cause these games are getting out of my control Should be coming to my rescue, Saving me unless you Got somebody else Who’s giving you more? Like you’re holding me for ransom, take me if you want somebody Who can love you like never before This is a love emergency, I’m calling 999! Someone bring me a doctor ‘Cause my heart it goes haywire All through the night I’m a victim of daylight burglary He really stole my mind And I’m in need of a fireman to put out the flames Of this love emergency I try to hide all these feelings inside me But it’s way to hot to handle on my own And it’s only been an hour and I really start to wonder What is stopping him from picking up his phone? He’s setting me alight I’m burning with desire But all I hear is sirens that scream through the night This unrequited love, Just cannot get enough He’s a criminal, can’t you see? And I wish he’d put his hands on me
