================================================ NOTES ================================================ Bon, mon anglais approximatif m'a permis d'écrire quelques bonnes bourdes et ne m'aura surement pas évité de faire quelques bonnes fautes d'orthographe ou autres barbarismes. Ceci dit, ce qui est fait est fait et ce qui est chanté est chanté. Mais puisque ce qui est fait n'est plus à faire... Bonne lecture tout de même (puriste s'abstenir)! ================================================ MISS SHAPENFINGERS "Miss Shapenfingers" (2004) NEVER TO RETURN --------------- I used to be cheerful and I became embittered. I gonna leave, never to return. Yes I will. If I stay here, I’ll regret it all my life. There’s no point in living in remorses. I’d rather die. You know what I mean When I say that I really need a change. You know what I mean, When I say, I leave. You Say I Don’t Even Know Where To Go, But I Don’t Care. You Say I Don’t Even Know How To Go, But I Don’t Care. I’ll Go Where The Wind Will Sweep Me, Away From Here. As Far As My Wings Will Take Me, Away From Here. I used to be amused, but now I am bored. I used to joke, but now no one make me laugh, Anymore. If I stay here, I’ll become stark raving mad. There’s no point in living put away ; I’d rather die. IF I WERE AS YOU ---------------- You see me like a man, And that’s what I am. I can read in your mind you miss something, That I don’t have. If I were a girl I could love you, I could love you. If I Were A Girl I Would Love You, I Would Love You, As No Man Never Did. I can not change the way You have to see me. I won’t change my body, I’m not crazy ; Or not enough. WHITE, RED & BLACK ------------------ My black eyes are staring at the sky. Laid down on my back, I suffer & wonder why White feathers fly. My Head hurts me so much and I feel so soaked. So I turn to look on my left and I see I’m laid down in blood. I see a saw, wings and black horns put on the ground. Now I remember all. You Pulled Out My Wings, Teached Me To Fly And You Claimed I Would Not Fall. You Sawed My Horns To Teach Me To Fight. You Said It Was For My Own Good. I’ve still my eyes, to cry. But I cried to much ; now I can watch you die, On my right. Laid down on your stomach, you’re naked and white. Torn off from your body, your wings are covered with blood. As your fair hair, your soft skin and your broken horns are. Now I remember all. You Took My Wings Out And You Tried To Fly With ; You Claimed Yours Were Not Good Enough. So You Flew To High And You Finally Falled ; I Won’t Cry On Your Fate, Girl. A TEAR ------ I’m a tear outstanding in the hollow of your eyes, Ready to make fade the darkness of your heart. I’m a tear burning in the corner of your eye, Ready to set fire to your skin full of dead kisses. I Could Never Cover The Distance, I Could Never Show You How Disturbing And Harsh Your Feelings Are. But I Will Lead You A Merry Dance, I’ll Wring Your Throat And Your Heart, ‘Til You Cannot Speak Without A Cry. I’m a tear arisen out of your fears, Playin’ Requiems on the strings your nerves are. The sound’s clear ; your throat thrill under the waves. It echoes in your lungs. PICTURES OF YOU --------------- There’s a lot of things that I will never forget. There’s so much places and faces I can’t forget. I’m watching the wind blows, Just waiting for the snow that fell many years ago. I’m sitting on the sand, Just waiting for the sea. The last tide washed me dry. But I’ll Still Have This Pictures Of You. And Years After Years I’ll Remember You As Beautiful As You Were When I Met You. There’s a lot of things that I have to live. There’s so much faces and places I have to see. I’m opening my window for acting in the show, To play the snow. I’m running in the sand, now searshing for the sea, To ride the tide. HOW I SOLD MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL ------------------------------- I was walkin’ the streets, when I crossed a man. I was strarin’ at my feet worrin’ ‘bout find myself an end. The tall man stopped in front of me. I looked at him straight in the eyes when he took my arm and said : « I want your soul - How much d’you pay ? - What do you want ? - It’s hard to say… - I can give you money and fame », he said - And ‘bout women..? I Sold My Soul To The Devil With A Smile ‘Cos My Life Is Rubbish And My Feelings Have No Sens. I Sold My Soul To The Devil For A Smile ‘Cos My Life Is Rubbish And My Feelings Have No Sens. And I Never Used It Like I Should Do. Back in the same street again, wanderin’ with no goal. I was yellin’ drunk like a dog when I saw on a bridge the devil stand : « Don’t fuckin’ jump - Why the hell shouldn’t I ? - ‘Cos you got my soul ! - It ruined my life. » - When you lost all you had there is nothing left to hide. And the devil fell From the bridge to hell By takin’ my soul with him. TO EVERYONE AND TO ME --------------------- I used to know a girl who gave her clothes And the men set fire on it. I used to know a girl who gave her breast And the men fought for it. Why do the men appropriate things they don’t own ? Why do they amass all they can until they die ? How do they can pile up things whereas they burn all They are able to touch ? Outside My Blind Closed Window I Can Hear The Girl Crying For The Respect That No One Never Gave Her. But When The Men’ll Stop To Hate, It Will Be To Late And Every One Knows This. I used to know a girl who gave her lungs For the Men Wipe Their Ass With. I used to know a girl who gave her heart For the men puke in it. Outside Our Blind Closed Window We Can Hear The Girl Crying For The Respect That We Never Gave Her. But When We’ll Stop To Hate, It Will Be To Late And We All Know This. I used to know a girl who gave her lips To kiss goodbye. NECKTIES FOR FUNERALS --------------------- I survey your legs Steping over the deads ; Brown skin, black eyes, shaved hairs. Walkin’ with fear, You know the end is near ; It’s coming fast as anger is growing. By Seein’ Swords Swingin’ In Your Eyes, I Can Guess That Heads Are Gonna Fall. And Outside This Sweetness, Anger Leads The Dance And Beauty Hangs On A Rope, Tense. I stare at your legs, Hanged over your friends ; Strange fruits fell From the trees Fed with hatred Now they’re rotting. It’s your last climb before the fall. LONE & VIRGIN ------------- Don’t know my age, Don’t even know my birthday. But I think I’m twenty today. My body stayed the same Since I was a kid. My hairs and my eyes have always been grey. If Love’s Finally Dead I Ain’t Scared To Die Lone And Virgin. What About You ? But There’s Always A Chance For A Change. Every Word I’m Writtin’ Is Waiting For You. Forgot my name, I’m certainly too old. But not enough to forget my goals. My mind never changed, Since I was a teenage. My anger just evolved in sarcasms. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN END, TASTES LIKE A BEGINNING ---------------------------------------------- Hey babe, I’m so tired ; Can’t sleep since I’ve seen your smile Underlines your eyes. They’re burning while you are dancing, They shine where the city’s burning, They bright where the city’s lightings hide my fears. Lightings hide my fears. Hey babe, I’m down on my knees Since I’ve tasted your kisses Flavored with heroïne. They wake me up every morning, They get me out of my deepest dreams, They make me forget that I haven’t always been skillful. I haven’t always been skillful. Hey babe, I washed all my tears, Forgot all my fears ; I like to breathe when your arms round me. Anything could ever happen, That it wouldn’t matter for us. To think of you make me forget ‘bout myself. I forget about myself…
