lyrics from GLACIERS: | |
| This Is Skyhorse | Don’t try to make me I won’t I’m not a pony on a Don’t let your posse bring you I put my trust in dollars I like this horse, his fur is dark and loamy He looks at me with eyes that seem to know me If looks could kill then I’d be dead already Up on the hill the noose is tied and ready And all we wanted was a little bit of sky A little patch of sun before we get our pony and ride My better half, I put rings on her finger But Sherrif John he played me like a fiddle And all we wanted was a little bit of sky A little patch of sun before we get our pony and ride I kick the horse, it makes the horse go faster |
| Hilarious |
Be my little SOS Be the feline on my chest Fahrenheit or Celsius you melt away all my distress Be my little space heater Drain the juice in the meter I’m Sir Shackleton stuck on this frozen pole So please be my Eskimo Life may throw its icicles and freeze us to the follicles Let’s be little polar bears and sleep without our underwear There’s a mirror surrounded by lights In the dressing room of your mind in the back of your eyes There you sit and you make up your mind And you smile at yourself and get ready for life Be the hole in my ozone Be the end of the cold war If you concentrate glaciers will fade away It will be hilarious |

| The Shadow of Vesuvius |
Don’t go back to town again, the situation’s dubious
The gods are set on punishment and the mountain’s falling down on us We live a life of decadence in the shadow of Vesuvius All good things have got to end and the mountain’s falling down on us It’s been forty years since the rebel died And his big ideas are still alive Though we slaughtered all the heretics We just can’t stop these lunatics I will write your name in my own blood on the wall next to the bordello And drink an earthen jar of wine in the bath house with my oddfellows Hear the oxen carts in the Roman night Bringing wanted men to be sacrificed Though Caesar’s rule remains supreme We just can’t stop the Nazarene We are the true society, superior and beauteous Zeus has made us to be free till the mountain’s falling down on us Don’t go back to town again, the situation’s dubious The gods are set on punishment and the mountain’s falling down on us |
| Meteorite |
Rocks falling from outer space a million miles an hour Potential destruction of the whole human race brought by a glimmering shower Meteorite I know tonight you’ll kill me but it’ll be beautiful You penetrate my atmosphere My fascination will crush my fear A shower of light at the end of the night Oh what a wonderful way to go Oh what a sign of the times A sentence of death that is larger than life Look out, the sky’s gonna crush us Pure entertainment and so very precious A gorgeous distraction unfolds overhead A sizzling hail of alien lead The misunderstandings that tear us apart Are falling like submarines out of the dark, into my heart That’s how it feels when you leave That’s how it feels to be free A smouldering glittering crater holes The size of subway stations Turn into skating ramps and swimming pools To be enjoyed by the next generation Meteorite, I know tonight you shine on a world that’s incredible To light up a future that’s wonderful |
lyrics from RESOLVO: | |
| Mais J'accorde (Just Because) | Hey come on let's have another kiss, We could never really settle this Hey come on let's have another smile, Take another chance on me for awhile just because... All the music's playing in our heads. I wish that I could take back what I said If you really want to end this fight, settle down and play with me for awhile just because... Hey come on let's have a little tryst. You can be the pilot of my ship. What are you, some kind of hypnotist, or are you just a girl that I can't resist? Just because... Now here come the dark clouds rolling into the valley of your eyes I wish that I could bring back the blue skies But even when the sun is shining, the storm is never really far away Laisses les bons temps rouler! |
lyrics from SOLRESOL: | |
| Complicated Melody |
Complicated melody, that is what you are to me You’re scaling major chords in a minor key Medicated remedy, like a living pharmacy Will this healing be the death of me? Convoluted symphony, blackest of the comedies When it hurts to laugh you cry with me Don’t want me, just need me, Don’t make it complicated Don’t warn me, just leave me, Don’t be so complicated |
| Fighting Guitars |
She was the corporal at arms of the fighting guitars
Nobody wins in these weaponless wars When she told me her age, I was amazed I knew she had lived through a shipwreck of days She’s got hair of chocolate cake to wrap around your fingers And she smells like cigarettes and breaking waves and solitude that lingers She lived right next to the sea in a forest of weeds Surrounded by magical music machines When she asked me to stay, I was dismayed I knew she had already given her heart away Words cannot describe the sun reflecting off her shoulder I was melting like a block of ice reclining on a desert boulder She’s got eyes like cloudy skies portending endless rainfall And the way the story ends is kind of typical and kind of painful I got up and flew away with all the lonely sailboats Some guitars are out of tune and others just refuse to play the sweet note |
| Solresol |
Sol Re Sol All of the things that I’m trying to say could be sung in tones Sailing along on a lyrical boat Let the meaning escape your throat It’s a revelation of massive scope called Solresol Sudre the man, violin in hand, master planner Said “No need for words, we can sing like birds with grammar.” Solresol eliminates all the pointless chitchat with musical notes And once again we go back to the Seine, we go back to the source Good son of France invented a dance in Morse code I’m drowning in waves Don’t tear me away |
