Les soleils couchants
Revêtent les champs
Les canaux, la ville entière
D’hyacinthe et d’or
Le monde s’endort
Dans une chaude lumière
Là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté
Luxe, calme et volupté

Took a taxi with jean last night
It was late, and it was raining
We live far away from eachother
And there was no desire
I think it was more the dark night,
Or some lonely feeling

When we got home, we were alone
We fell in love with that feeling
When we got home, we were alone
We fell in love with that feeling

Rain since tuesday
Barely found my way to the shop
For milk in the morning
And the news of the world had turned around
Then i heard you calling
Saw you turn the darkened corner
Then you were gone

When i got home, i was alone
I fell in love with that feeling
When i got home, i was alone
And i counted stars on the ceiling

When i got home, i was alone
And i fell in love with that feeling
When i got home, i was alone
And i counted stars on the ceiling
I fell in love with that feeling

When i got home, i was alone
I counted stars on the ceiling
I fell in love with that feeling
I fell in love with that feeling

Lonesome tears
I can’t cry them anymore
I can’t think of what they’re for
Oh they ruin me every time
But I’ll try
To leave behind some days
These tears just can’t erase
I don’t need them anymore

How could this love
Ever turning
Never turn its eye on me
How could this love
Ever changing
Never change the way I feel

Lazy sun
Your eyes catch the light
With promises that might
Come true for a while
Oh I’ll ride
Farther than I should
Harder than I could
Just to meet you there

How could this love
Ever turning
Never turn its eye on me
How could this love
Ever changing
Never change the way I feel

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you’ll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you’ll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

And it’s something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight

This is stranger than I thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And everyone I’ll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside

I’ll tell them anything at all
I know I’ll give them more and more

I’ll tell them anything at all
I know I’ll give the world and more
They think I’m on my hands and head
This time they’re much too slow

Six sides to every lie I say
It’s that American voice again
It was never quite like this before
Not one of you is the same

This is stranger than I thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And everyone I’ll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside

Walk Away Nothing To Do
I Forgot What Doing Time Can Do
I’m On The Chain Gang
The Chain Gang Of Love
Wasting My Time
I’m Just A Prisoner Of Love

I’m A Jailbird Baby
Wasting My Time
At First Feeling Blue
Then Feeling Fine
I’m Serving Time
For Something I Can’t Do
They Call It A Crime
Cause I’m Not In Love With You

I’m A Jailbird Baby
Cause I’m Not In Love With You

Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don’t know maybe you could not love me now
You will know, and her feet down to the ground
Over there, and I want true love to love
You can’t hide, oh no, from the way I feel

Turn my head
Into sound
I don’t know when I lay down on the ground
You will find the way it hurts to love
Never cared and the world turned hearts to love
You will see, oh now, oh the way I do

You will wait
See me go
I don’t care when your head turned all alone
You will wait when I turn my eyes around
Overhead when I hold you next to me
Overhead, to know, oh the way I see

Close my eyes
Feel me how
I don’t know maybe you could not hurt me now
Here alone when I feel down too
Over there when I await true love for you
You can hide, oh no, oh the way I do
You will see, oh now, oh the way I do

I am the lightning, i am the heat
I am the reign, reigner, reigner, reign all day
I am the reign
I’m gonna reign this way again
I am the reign

I am the spark
Before the blaze
I am the raindrop out at sea
I cause the ripples that become the crashing waves (crashing waves)
I am the reign, reigner, reigner, reign all day
I am the reign (i am the reign…)

You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all

I am the reign
I’m gonna reign this way again (this reign way again)
I am the reign, reigner, reigner, reign all day

You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
I am the reign
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
I am the reign

i am really sad. it reminds me when i heard the news of Mary Hansen from Stereolab dying. Such strange, unexpected deaths. What a loss.
