Say it’s the same sun spinning in the same sky
Say it’s the same stars streaming in the same night
Tell me it’s the same world whirling through the same space
Tell me it’s the same time tripping through the same day
So say it’s the same house and nothing in the house has changed
Yeah say it’s the same room and nothing in the room is strange
Oh tell me it’s the same boy burning in the same bed
Tell me it’s the same blood breaking in the same head
Say it’s the same taste taking down the same kiss
Say it’s the same you
Say it’s the same you and it’s always been like this
Say it’s the same you
Say it’s the same you and it always and forever is
Say it’s the same you
Say it’s the same you and it’s always been like this
Say it’s the same you
Say it’s the same you and it always and forever is
Say it’s the same you
Say it’s the same you
Yeah tell me it’s all the same
This is how it’s always been
But if nothing has changed…
Then it must mean…
But the sun is cold – the sky is wrong
The stars are black – the night is gone
The world is still – the space is stopped
The time is out – the day is dropped
The house is dark – the room is scarred
The boy is stiff – the bed is hard
The blood is thick – the head is burst
The taste is dry – the kiss is thirst
And it’s not the same you
It’s not the same you
No it never was like this
It’s not the same you
It’s not the same you and it never really is
It’s not the same you
It’s not the same you
No it never was like this
It’s not the same you
It’s not the same you and it never really is
It’s not the same you
It’s not the same you
Oh it’s not the same
This isn’t how it’s always been
Everything has to have changed…
Or it’s me…
J’ai souvent de vous été coupé
par des mouvements insoupçonnés
isolé par images superposées
j’ai trouvé comment rester debout
même si de mon corps on coupai le cou
pour toujours je resterai parmis vous
je reviendrai
je reviendrai
même une fois couché sous terre, je reviendrai
poussé par les souffles de mon corps
je serai
par vos sourires, vos cœurs, vos souvenirs devant, je resterai
grâce à vous, par ma voix, toujours je reviendrai
en pleurant jusqu’à m’effondrer
même, en rêvant jusqu’à m’envoler
au dessus des blancs nuages flottants
désolé pour les insouciances
désolé pour les arrogances
découlant de tous mes gestes posés
je reviendrai
je reviendrai
même une fois couché sous terre, je reviendrai
poussé par les souffles de mon corps
je serai
par vos sourires, vos cœurs, vos souvenirs devant, je resterai
grâce à vous, par ma voix, toujours je reviendrai
grâce à vous, par ma voix, toujours je reviendrai
grâce à vous, par ma voix, toujours je reviendrai
Standing there alone,
the ship is waiting.
All systems are go.
“Are you sure?”
Control is not convinced,
but the computer
has the evidence.
No need to abort.
The countdown starts.
Watching in a trance,
the crew is certain.
Nothing left to chance,
all is working.
Trying to relax
up in the capsule
“Send me up a drink.”
jokes Major Tom.
The count goes on…
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home…
Second stage is cut.
We’re now in orbit.
Stabilizers up,
runnning perfect.
Starting to collect
requested data.
“What will it affect
when all is done?”
thinks Major Tom.
Back at ground control,
there is a problem.
“Go to rockets full.”
Not responding.
“Hello Major Tom.
Are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on.
We’re standing by.”
There’s no reply.
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
calling, calling home…
Across the stratosphere,
a final message:
“Give my wife my love.”
Then nothing more.
Far beneath the ship,
the world is mourning.
They don’t realize
he’s alive.
No one understands,
but Major Tom sees.
“Now the light commands
this is my home,
I’m coming home.”
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming home…
Earth below us
drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
coming, coming
home…
home…..
Mon ange, je t’ai haïe, je t’ai laissé aimer
D’autres que moi, un peu plus loin qu’ici
Mon ange, je t’ai trahie, tant de nuits, alité
Que mon coeur n’a cessé de me donner la vie
Si loin de moi, si loin de moi, si loin de moi
Des armées insolites et des ombres équivoques
Des fils dont on se moque et des femmes que l’on quitte
Des tristesses surannées, des malheurs qu’on oublie
Des ongles un peu noircis, des ongles un peu noircis
Mon ange, je t’ai punie à tant me sacrifier
Icône idolâtrée, immondice à la nuit
Mon ange, je t’ai haïe, je t’ai laissé tuer
Nos jeunesses débauchées, le reste de nos vies
Si loin de moi, si loin de moi, si loin de moi, si loin de moi
Des armées insolites et des ombres équivoques
Des fils dont on se moque et des femmes que l’on quitte
Des tristesses surannées, des malheurs qu’on oublie
Des ongles un peu noircis, des ongles un peu noircis
Mon ange, je t’ai haïe, mon ange, je t’ai haïe.
La nuit je mens
On m’a vu dans le Vercors
Sauter à l’élastique
Voleur d’amphores
Au fond des criques
J’ai fait la cour à des murènes
J’ai fait l’amour j’ai fait le mort
T’étais pas née
À la station balnéaire
Tu t’es pas fait prier
J’étais gant de crin, geyser
Pour un peu je trempais
Histoire d’eau
La nuit je mens
Je prends des trains à travers la plaine
La nuit je mens
Je m’en lave les mains
J’ai dans les bottes des montagnes de questions
Où subsiste encore ton écho
Où subsiste encore ton écho
J’ai fait la saison
Dans cette boîte crânienne
Tes pensées
Je les faisais miennes
T’accaparer seulement t’accaparer
D’estrade en estrade
J’ai fait danser tant de malentendus
Des kilomètres de vie en rose
Un jour au cirque
Un autre à chercher à te plaire
Dresseur de loulous
Dynamiteur d’aqueducs
La nuit je mens
Je prends des trains à travers la plaine
La nuit je mens
Effrontément
J’ai dans les bottes des montagnes de questions
Où subsiste encore ton écho
Où subsiste encore ton écho
On m’a vu dans le Vercors
Sauter à l’élastique
Voleur d’amphores
Au fond des criques
J’ai fait la cour à des murènes
J’ai fait l’amour j’ai fait le mort
T’étais pas née
La nuit je mens
Je prends des trains à travers la plaine
La nuit je mens
Je m’en lave les mains
J’ai dans les bottes des montagnes de questions
Où subsiste encore ton écho
Où subsiste encore ton écho
La nuit je mens
Je prends des trains à travers la plaine
La nuit je mens
Je m’en lave les mains
J’ai dans les bottes des montagnes de questions
Où subsiste encore ton écho
Où subsiste encore ton écho …

# Sharon Hopkins, Feb. 21, 1991
And I see forests and it’s the 25th of December
and my old man plays the piano for Christmas.
He plays the piano for Christmas.
And we’re all there, all the aunties and uncles,
and the angel’s on the top of the tree.
Up there o the top of the tree.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
Have I enough time, have I just some time,
to revisit, to go back, to return, to open my mouth again
and say something different this time.
And I see bags of newspaper and a car in the carport,
and you’re a grown up and still unsure,
and I’m thirty and I don’t know nothing no more.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I’m sitting, sitting on the top of the stairs,
and you’re crying out on the towpath by the river
with all the swans and all the people walking by.
And all of a sudden I’m stuck with an urge to unlock a door
with a key that’s too big for my hands
and I drop it, and it falls at your feet.
Come on, come on, it’s there at your feet.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
What if there was no light.
Nothing wrong, nothing right.
What if there was no time?
And no reason or rhyme?
What if you should decide
That you don’t want me there by your side.
That you don’t want me there in your life.
What if I got it wrong?
And no poem or song..
Could put right what I got wrong,
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide
That you don’t want me there by your side
That you don’t want me there in your life.
Oooooh, that’s right
Let’s take a breath, jump over the side.
Oooooh, that’s right
How can you know it if you don’t even try?
Oooooh, that’s right
Every step that you take
Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
But that’s the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don’t want me there in your life.
That you don’t want me there by your side.
Oooooh, that’s right
Let’s take a breath jump over the side.
Oooooh, that’s right
How can you know it when you don’t even try?
Oooooh, that’s right
Oooooh, that’s right
Let’s take a breath jump over the side
Oooooh, that’s right
You know that darkness always turns into light
Oooooh, that’s right..
Forgotten throes of anothers life
The heart of love is their only light
Faithless greeds, consolidating
Holding down sweet charity
With western eyes and serpent’s breath
We lay our own conscience to rest
But I’m aching at the view
Yes I’m breaking at the seams just like you
They have values of a certain taste
The innocent they can hardly wait
To crucify, invalidating
Turning to dishonesty
With western eyes and serpent’s breath
They lay their own conscience to rest
But then they lie and then they dare to be
Hidden heros candidly
So I’m aching at the view
Yes I’m breaking at the seams just like you
It’s been too many times
that I stuck out my neck for you
It’s been too many times
that I spoke my mind to you
It’s been too many times
That I caught all the flak from you
Apathetic crap is all I can find in you
I don’t want no part in this
I don’t feel the need to score
Burnt all bridges
Closed my heart
I don’t want to be a part
No more
Dosvidanija Ciao Adieu
Hasta la vista I’m on my way
Goodbye Sayonara
Auf nimmerwiedersehen
Over and out
And down the drain
It’s been too many times
that I raised my voice at you
It’s been too many times
that I walked the line with you
It’s been too many times
that I’ve had no choice but you
Hypocritical swine I have had it this time
Thank you…
Dosvidanija Ciao Adieu
Hasta la vista I’m on my way
Goodbye Sayonara
Auf nimmerwiedersehen
Over and out
And down the drain
