  1. Rappaccini's Daughter
    Mary Rose lend me your trembling hand,
    I got a gift for you,
    A lace around your neck,
    Let me do,
    I won't hurt you,
    Let me do.
     
    Mary Rose is shaking like a leaf,
    She'll love it more than life,
    But life is but a dream,
    To marry bloom,
    Hopeless waiting,
    For something new.
     
    Mary Rose is like a bud bound for withering,
    Mary Bloom let your plague be mine for a while,
    Cos' my body is so painful,
    Ans your stem is so graceful,
    Fly away butterfly.
     
    Mary Rose lend me your trembling hand,
    I got a gift for you,
    A lace around your neck,
    Let me do,
    I won't hurt you.
  2. Le Poste de Radio
    Toute la nuit,
    Devant mon poste de radio,
    C'est l'ennui.
    Des heures durant,
    Planté devant ma radio,
    Quel ennui.
    Je dégobille dans le patio.
     
    Tous ces idiots,
    Qui geignent dans ma radio,
    Quel ennui.
    Des billes,
    Qui fleurissent le patio.
    C'est triste.
    J'encule les mouches à tire larigot.
  3. Good Mourning Mrs Death
    Some day or other,
    I will find you.
    I won't need to worry,
    You'll be standing there.
    Good bye everybody,
    Vacant starts.
    Goodbye to my lovely,
    I will stand in line
    Like everybody else does.
     
    Some day or other,
    You will easily find me.
    You won't need to hurry,
    I'll be right here.
    I won't need an extra hour
    So special treatment
    To say goodbye to Barbara Darling
    Before I stand in line
    Like everybody else does,
    Before I stand in line
    Like everybody else does
     
  4. In my Coffin
    Dark light in my coffin,
    I'm trying to see something,
    Will you bring flowers to me when I'm dead?
     
    White light in my coffin,
    For me to see something,
    In between my fingers will my wedding ring shine
     
    Will there be enough room for you and I in my coffin?
    Will there be enough room for you and I in my coffin?
     
    Cruel fight in my coffin,
    I'm trying to vomit something,
    To change that funny smell in my brand new house
     
    Long night in my coffin,
    I should have brought muffins,
    Don't you think we could have chosen the same hour to die
     
    My darling, you and I,
    It would be cosy in my coffin
  5. Weather Prophet
    The rain is falling on my naked shoulders.
    Maybe God cries because he's watching his world.
    If he could do it again,
    Maybe he'd give me an umbrella.
     
    The sun is shininh through my dirty windows.
    The devil smiles because he knows where we'll go.
    If he could do it again,
    I think he'd give me nothing else, nothing more.
     
    The wind is blowing through my long blond hair.
    I don't know where I go, but I can't go faster.
    If I could do it again,
    I'd take the last train to nowhere...without you.
     
    If I could do it again,
    I'd take the train to nowhere.
  6. A Song Called Diary
    Monday was the first day,
    Earl grey sister rain chilling my spine,
    Life is so hilly.
     
    Tuesday was a green day,
    Pasture day,dew dew dew...let us graze,
    Life could be so funny.
     
    One day to fool around,
    One night to be by your side.
     
    Wednesday, a routine day,
    something in between mother nature and I,
    Life is so cosy.
     
    Thursday was a grey day,
    But a great day, anyway I found it to my taste,
    A little bit drowsy.
     
    One day to fool around,
    One night to be by your side.
     
    Friday was a free day,
    Open air, suntan glasses and wine,
    Life is so easy.
     
    Saturday, was it saturn day
    Or satan day ? I can't recall, I can't make up my mind,
    We drink so casually.
     
    One day to fool around,
    One night to be by your side.
     
    Sunday, so much to say,
    So much to say,
    So much to say...
  7. Apocalyptic Happening (Intro)
    Apocalyptic Happening
    ???
     
    Hello, hello, hello,
    How d'you feel,
    How do you do,
    Something real is about to happen,
    Right now,
    Don't get drunk,
    Don't get drowned.
     
    Someone you love,
    Someone you fear,
    Someone you never disagree with,
    So you pray for sometimes,
    When the wind blows,
    When the church bell chimes.
     
    Hello, hello,
    How do you feel,
    How do you do,
    Something real is about to happen,
    Right now,
    Don't get drunk,
    Don't get drowned.
     
    As merry as the day,
    As merry as the queen,
    As merry as anything,
    Eating or breathing,
    As merry as a waterproof mockingbird
    As merry, as merry,
    As merry as a mocking birth.
     
    Hello, hello, hello,
    How do you feel,
    How do you do,
    Something real is about to happen,
    Right now,
    Don't get drunk,
    Don't get drowned.
     
    Hush hush everybody,
    Hush please,
    Leave your tongues in their honey-comb,
    There's no room for breathing,
    Keep quiet,
    He's about to talk,
    Let's clap our hands.
    The very very first time God appears,
    it's got to/needs to be celebrated,
    3 cheers for God,
    3 cheers for Holy Mary,
    We're your sons,
    I'm your baby.
     
    Hello, hello,

    Hello, hello,
    How d'you feel,
    What about dancing?
    What do you fear
    It's really got to happen,
    Right now,
    It's not too late,
    Pour me another drink.
     
    Hello, hello, hello,
    How d'you feel,

    Something queer is about to happen,
    Right now,

    You're just a soul now.
     
    Hello, hello, hello,
    How d'you feel,
    What do you scream for,
    Let's have another toast,
    Be sure he's already made up his mind,
    So take it easy,
    It's just a happening.
     
    Hello, hello,
    How d'you feel,
    Something cruel,
    Something freezing is about to happen,
    Right now,
    Didn't you gave for it.
  8. Adam's Apple Story
    She's looking at me,
    She's happy,
    I'm happy too.
    Charming the moon,
    Dancing, singing,
    A time or two.
    Around in a dream,
    Happily lazing,
    Let's put on our bathing suits.
     
    She's looking at me,
    She's naked,
    I'm naked too.
    Totally nude,
    We feel stupid
    And ugly too.
    What's that I'm feeling,
    Is there a meaning,
    For my watching the ceiling?
     
    She's looking at me,
    She'd soothe me, cure me,
    Be breathing for two.
    She'd pick up the new moon,
    For me she'd do
    What gods can't easily do.
    Falling asleep,
    Is she forgiving
    My everchanging mood?
     
    They were born for love in a Garden called Eden,
    Made up for man by the hands of God,
    Tirelessly water gushed from a fountain of plenty,
    Irrigating inumerable varieties of plants with gigantic leaves.
    One shrub in particular, set in a marble case
    In the midst of a poor bore one single apple, isolated.
    It's top curiously crept serpent like along the ground
    And climbed to writhe itself around a statue of Virtumnus.
     
    Oh, something strange happened to me,
    The first time I saw you darling.
    I know, I knew, I knew for sure,
    You were the one,
    Oh, who could tell me the contrary?
    Not you!
    Leave the apple where it's hanging,
    Don't let the snake bite you.
    Forget about his disguise darling;
    An absolute plagiary,
    With a long tailed appetite.
    A granny eater, certainly,
    Oh let us keep our garden clean,
    Oh, something strange happened to me...

  10. Kathleen
    Comment comprendre ce manque d'égards envers tes courtisans.
    Ta beauté est moins dense que tes connaissances,
    Tes réprimandes et tes souffrances.
     
    Aucun regard, aucune offrande ne troublent ton air sévère.
    Tu as entamé et rien n'arrêtera ta descente aux enfers.
     
    Assise au milieu du cercle glacial de ses talons,
    Elle vit dans l'attente de qui oserait tenter sa chance.
    Pale de teint et raide dans ses manières,
    Les compliments, des boniments disait-elle,
    En guise de souvenirs....à suivre...
  11. Three Cheers for Candy Boy
    Three cheers for mother luck,
    Three cheers for mother lust,
    She's got the needle and I got the ride.
     
    Time is running smooth
    Thru my body loose
    I got a used tire hanging around.
     
    I'm a candy boy,
    I got no ticket to ride
    I wish you were my wagon wheel for a while.
     
    I'm a part time fool
    Singing thru a tube,
    A polyphonic idiot that nothing can soothe.
     
    Is you let me hold your waist,
    I'll drop you a line,
    Three wishes and a nursery rime.
    If you have time to waste,
    I'll waste it for you,
    Three kisses not to abuse.
     
    I spend my lonely nights
    Wasting candle lights,
    Breaking my heart in two,
    Sinking slowly thru the bathroom tube.
     
    I spend my lonely nights
    Erasing candle lights,
    Smoking a butt or two,
    Breaking my heart in two
     
    Three cheers for mother luck...
  12. One, Two, Me and You
    One, two, me and you
    Picking up three, four mushrooms for both of us.
    It's high time to find our way home;
    Seven, eight, nine, ten o'clock
    And we'll be back to the little house I love so much,
    Yours' not mine for the present time.
    I'd like to spend more time with you,
    I'd really love to really love you.
    One, two, me and you...
  13. Two Apples and a Half
    ???
  14. La Tour Eiffel
    She's standing by the corner,
    Lost in the clouds.
    She's gazing at the towers,
    Ghost of the town.
    Crawling little lizards,
    Meeting her eyes,
    Mother fortune teller,
    Tell me mine.
