He’s tired of his life, he wants to stop Those boots covered miles, but he kicks them off Watch him throw in the towel, 'cause he’s had enough Of this cruel life You believe you can save what’s already dead Breathe love into lungs and a troubled head Let him in through your legs, let him fill your bed With some cruel love Oh how I rely on you Oh you rely on me Oh if I depend on you Oh you can depend on me You’re drowning in hope, you blame yourself Afraid that you’ll lose him to someone else Put the blame on your brains where you got no sense It’s just cruel love He could show you the world, all it’s hidden truths You pretend to consume, nothing's understood Seek a chance in his arms but it’s just no good In this cruel life Oh how I rely on you Oh you rely on me Oh if I depend on you Oh you can depend on me

See a guy on the street and my heart is going ooh I’m liking what I see He looks my way, wicked smile and my body’s going ooh He’s got me on my knees That boy is mine, I saw him first Calling time on waiting around I’m saying Forget possessions, there’s one thing that I need I need that man to spend some time with me Gave him my number to call when he’s in town but He never called me and now I’m feeling down But his rejection doesn't hurt me, hurt me I’m telling the truth 'Cause if he called he woulda noticed, noticed Don’t need nobody, I’m perfectly happy on my own J’adore ton style, tu viens d’ou? Est-ce que ça roule baby ooh Ne pars pas s’il te plait Je captes rien, continue, car ton accent me fais ooh Je kiffe bien les français The French boys are wild I'm telling you, they drive me crazy Spin me around, I'm saying Forget possessions, there’s one thing that I need I want those boys to have some fun with me Gave them my number to call when they’re in town but They never called me and now I’m feeling down But their rejection doesn't hurt me hurt me I’m telling the truth Cos if they called they woulda noticed Don’t need no loving I’m perfectly happy on my own Nothing better than going home alone Not gonna waste my life standing by the phone Forget possessions there’s nothing that I need Don’t need nobody to have some fun with me Gave out my number in hoping for a call but I changed my mind and i hope you don’t call at all Cos you’re rejection doesn’t hurt me hurt me I’m telling the truth And if you call you’re gonna notice Don’t need nobody I’m perfectly happy on my own

Yo I’m mad tired of bad news every day Deadly headlines make it go away Interrupt this broadcast to show the mess you’ve made And it’s only getting worse Lately human kind ain’t that clever to me By going extinct out of stupidity He got weapons where his brain supposed to be But it’s only getting worse I guess I’m losing faith in our humanity There’s nothing left to believe in our society See waters rise but they deny the gravity I’m fallen victim to BAD NEWS ANXIETY One words enough to get done in For your cash, your religion or just your melanin Don’t you wonder what's this hell we’re living in 'Cause it’s only getting worse Are they bad guys good guys, no they’re all the same, Cos the humans the worst animal to date Or is that too hard for your ego to take, Boy we’re only getting worse So, kids, whats left for me to say, The systems screwed for us voters anyway, Fixed for the rich most corrupted ones to stay And it’s only getting worse It's only getting worse

Postcards 04:48
‘I’m sorry’, you say repeatedly, like that could change a thing But really you must know there’s no forgiving you 4 that And maybe, one day, if our ways meet; it might just draw a smile But really, can’t you see; no reason good enough 4 that You know I tried to make sense of it all, now i’m getting older But I’m still wounded by it all, and yeah I guess you are too But I won’t let you, I won't let you kick me when I’m down Even though I, believe I’m the root of all the jokes in this town I won’t stick your postcards to the wall like I used to Even though your handwriting looks the same No wonder no one here writes letters these days ‘Cause words don’t mean nothing anymore I wonder how long you’ll think of me as that one and only friend, I see you moving on, I doubt I’ll ever love again Not one creature since got close to me, inside I’m only stone And I can’t shed the fear, it just spills out when I’m alone You see I tried to let go of it all, now I’m getting older, But I’m still reeling from it all and yeah I suppose you are too But I won’t let you, I won't let you kick me when I’m down Try as I might, still believe I’m the butt of all the jokes in this town I won’t stick your letters to the wall, like I used to do Even though your handwritings still the same No wonder no one here writes letters these days ‘Cause words don’t mean nothin anymore

Closing Time 03:57
Counting 1,2 3 and then I'm out the door baby, Give you one last chance to give me a compliment, Can you make me feel good again But the rain falls louder harder than you will ever do It’s only when you need it that you call Never really loved myself at all 4 am in Strasbourg St Denis, And I’m crawling back home past closing time How the arch looks down on me And these streets’ll be only friends of mine, That’ll be the last time you see me Learning not to feel when I am lending my body Give you one more hour to do want you want to me, Now I know how to disappear When the lights out this is my cue to run from you They only ever love me for one night Getting good at turning off my mind 4 am in Strasbourg St Denis, I’m crawling back home past closing time How the arch looks down on me And these streets’ll be only friends of mine, only friends of mine That’ll be the last time you see me

Why is he still here? Why’s he still hanging round? He’s up and down the mezzanine I sicken with his every sound Can’t help but push him away I let him do it yesterday Never said he could stay here You kiss me and I give nothing Nothing left to give You touch me and I feel nothing Felt nothing since that night And I’m sorry cos you seem alright Maybe we coulda had a sweet time But I just don’t believe in love anymore The cat and I pretend to sleep We’re hoping that he might leave But he’s drinking all my coffee Then climbing back in bed with me You kiss me and I give nothing Nothing left to give You touch me and I feel nothing Felt nothing since that night And I’m sorry cos you seem alright Maybe we coulda had a sweet time But I just don’t believe in love anymore

Take two seats in the metro I need all that space for my ego Explaining things that you already know Even when you’re always right Can’t shut me up without a fight Throw my number out all the time - but I never call back Get a thrill when they form a line - then wait forever Give the impression I’m interested - when I don’t care I’m afraid the tides have turned I’m just doing those things I learned from you Baby baby baby Tell me how does it feel right now? Are you feeling kinda shaky Now you’re not the one who’s buying the rounds? Done to me, what have they done to me Turned me into one of their kind Now I got nothing much on my mind Never place my bets on the one guy, not even two Licking all the pies at the same time - they all love to do that I could even spit on the sidewalks - if i want to I’m afraid the jokes on you, I did what you always do to me Baby baby baby Tell me how does it feel right now? Are you feeling kinda shaky Now you’re not the one who’s buying the rounds? Done to me, what have they done to me Turned me into one of their kind Now I got nothing much on my mind Do you feel threatened by woman doing the same things that you do Do you get angry when women do your thing better than you I can do anything you can do better if I wanted to

Il est deux heures du matin Je rentre à pied chez moi Metro Père Lachaise, à côté du cimetière Je pense à tous mes amours Je rêve de Florence en été L’été deux mille trois La saison de jeunesse J’ai envie d’aller en arrière Comment j’ai mal à la tête, Pourquoi j’ai bu autant de choses, Dis moi, pourquoi Je me tue, tout doucement Pendant la lune s’amuse et les étoiles me regardent? Les esprits de Chopin, de Piaf et de Balzac S’unissent sous la pied, en me disant de les attraper, si je peux Oui je peux, mais j’ai pas envie, pas ce soir When I feel like it’s my time to go Don’t you worry I’ll be letting you know Ever feel like you’re just floating for days In no particular time or place Been dreaming these same dreams for years At the Père Lachaise cemetery I’ve been writing these songs that nobody hears

I left a note on his dresser And my own wedding ring With these few goodbye words How can I sing Goodbye old sleepyhead I'm packing you in like I said Take care of everything I'm leaving my wedding ring Don't look for me I'll get ahead Remember darling Don't smoke in bed

Mother nature I’ve been gone for a while You wait up, patiently, you were beautiful as you are I spread my wings like Icarus But higher and with more hope and more naive Blue on blue, sun on skin, and I just shimmer shimmer for a while, I know I never felt that light before Flew over to my dark side Through heaven and hell and the in-between I have seen many things, but nothing compares to you And I’m sorry I ever doubted it Mother nature I’m coming back into your arms I surrender, to your light, and you are beautiful just as you are Way up in your skies, feels like paradise But higher and with more heart and way more free From up here I can see you’ve been looking looking out for me And I won’t ever leave you anymore
