Hello - I know you're out there
Running through the electromagnetic waves
Hello - I know you're out there
As long as I'm in motion I will stay
And I've gathered all the flowers before the frost
If you listen very closely...

But not when you miss - not when you miss
This is just a kiss - this is not a kiss
A kiss is but a kiss - not this
But not when you miss - not when you miss
I'm so cold - you're so cool
(Bird noises)
Not this
This is but a kiss - this is not a miss
This is only this - not a kiss

Concrete Lovesong

We live in this house together
whose to say we bathe in unholy water
we write our names in concrete playgrounds
and now i'm moving so fast - so fast and far away
i'm overhead you're bathing in my thoughts today
and if I could wade through to you It'd be ok
I know - I know this is how to fold it into the perfect shape
I know it ought to fit - but the paper cuts are getting deeper
We live in this house together
whose to say we bathe in unholy water
we drown ourselves in concrete playgrounds
I know - I know this is how to fold it into the perfect shape
I know it ought to fit - but the paper cuts are getting deeper

Il était bien - bien elevé
il était poli - attentioné
elle était petite - toujours presse
elle était ouverte - imaginatif
une demi douzaine cadenas
six clés différents - ca marche chaque fois
une demi douzaine cadenas
six clés différents - ca marche chaque fois
Il était bien - bien fabriqué
il s'est perdu - éloigné
elle était chouette - dédié
elle était fermé - désinteressé
une demi douzaine cadenas
six clés différents - ca marche chaque fois
une demi douzaine cadenas
six clés différents - ca marche chaque fois

Walking The Night

sleep walking in a dead mans shirt
i'd been sleeping all night
bought it down at the local shop
a classic model in white
and he said 'hey! why do you ahve to dress that way when you're walking the night?" when you're walking the night
skipped town in a dead girls shoes
they were feeling too tight
they were once her favourite pair
got them free on a flight
and she said "hey! why do you have to dress that way when you're walking the night - when your'e walking the night
going to the mission.
on my way to the mission
almost at the mission
i'm at the mission...
walked home in a widows skirt
faded grey from the light
at the funeral the neighbours said
she wasn't up for his fight
and they said 'hey! where do you find the time to write when you're walking the night"
when you're walking the night
when i'm walking the night
when i'm walking the night
when i'm walking the night...

La grenade rouge
Je garde dans mes mains
Graines, graines, trop de graines pour pousser
La grenade est tombé
Est lancé - est tombé - est laissé - seché
Et les graines dedans
sont trop sec maintenant
j'deviné
La grenade rouge
La grenade - ma grenade

Hardwood Floors
03:24

Bending in the wind - bending to every little whim
Wading through the grass - wading through all the times that passed
And I swept it across the hardwood floor and it got lost in the cracks and there's no dirt anymore
I swept it across the hardwood floor and it got caught int he tracks and there's no dirt anymore
Je ne peut attendre plus - j'entends toujours le plancher
Couché - il est presque plus facile de se noyer
Je l'ai caché deriere la porte compartiment
il n y a desormais aucune saleté
Je l'ai caché deriere la porte compartiment
il n y a desormais aucune saleté
Je l'ai caché deriere la porte compartiment
il n y a desormais aucune saleté
Je l'ai caché deriere la porte compartiment
il n y a desormais aucune saleté
Et chaque fois que je mens je mens pareil
Et chaque fois que je reve c'est terminé
Et chaque fois que je mens je mens pareil
Et chaque fois que je reve c'est fabriqué
And I swept it across the hardwood floor and it got lost in the cracks and there's no dirt anymore
I swept it across the hardwood floor and it got caught int he tracks and there's no dirt anymore

Oh why does it always happen to me?
Oh why do I always fall so easily?
I was looking through a box of letters today
and the letters made the words
and the words all flew away
I was looking through a box of letters today
and the letters made the words
and the words all flew away oh why...
does it always happen to me?
Oh why do I always fall so easily?
I was looking through a box of letters today
and the letters made the words
and the words all flew away
I was looking through a box of letters today
and the letters made the words
and the words all flew away oh why...
Maybe don't call me maybe
maybe just walk away
Maybe call me maybe
Maybe fly away....
I was looking through a box of letters today
and the letters made the words
and the words all flew away
I was looking through a box of letters today
and the letters made the words
and the words all flew away
I was looking through a box of letters today
Maybe don't call me maybe
maybe just walk away
Maybe don't call me baby
Maybe fly away....la la la laa....

Drugging The Drain

I was drugging the drain
I was drugging the drain with the pain killers
the pain killers that all had expired
I was stopping the pain
I was stopping the pain before it had started
Go ahead and start it up!
And I didn't know that - didn't know that it would end this way
And I didn't know that it would start this way
I was drugging the drain
I was drugging the drain with the pain killers
the pain killers that all had expired
I was stopping the pain
I was stopping the pain before it had started
Go ahead and start it up!
And I didn't know that - didnt' know that it would end this way
And I always knew that - always knew it would start this way
Busy drugging the drain
Busy drugging the drain
Busy drugging the drain
Busy drugging the drain
Busy drugging the drain
Busy drugging the drain
Busy drugging the drain....ad infinitum

Leave Alight

You said everything is gonna be alright
Is it gonna be alright or are we living in the sea?
I think realism just might kill me - so I'm living in a dream world
and I'm staying up all night
And I leave alight the light
and you leave alight the light
and I hope that we will live
Lives that are illuminated
And I leave alight the light
and you leave alight the light
and I hope that we will live
Lives that are illuminated
I said everything is gonna be alright
Yes it's gonna be alright because we're living int he sea
I think my dreamworld might kill me
looking for a little reality but it's not as bright
And I leave alight the light
and you leave alight the light
and I hope that we will live
Lives that are illuminated
And you leave alight the light
and I leave alight the light
and I hope that in the end
our lives will be illuminated

A melodic doorway into a faerie gathering - this album sparkles as it floats - dancing me into the woods. So delicate and familiar I love the feel of it...morning, noon and night. Si!

Man of Mystery [EP]
by A Montreal Paul
A riff popped into my head the other day and I realized that I was humming A Montreal Paul's Hazy As a Mellotron. Such a brilliant EP - it feels like summer.
