Do you sleep at night

A new version with a true bass sound (thanks to Romain for his great work!!!)
A reflexion about the American way of life...
"No matter how, the way she lived (beauty is inside)
No matter how, the way she cried (spirit's call)
American (way of life)
American (burn paper mind)
Something you can't buy
Happiness is not inside...


American Way Of Life

The definitive version of this track. A great collaboration between Glen Reynolds (vocal), Romain Lepage (bass) and Schima Agathe (viola).
Here's Glen's words:
"The lyrics are kind of inspired by the movie Gravity. The idea is that the calm, quiet of space is actually very deadly. So much beauty, but so much that can take an astronaut's life. What would your thoughts be as you ran out of oxygen in the cruel quiet of infinite space? Would you feel that the stars looked on with cruel impartiality? You'd feel trapped- even though space goes on....into infinity."

"Infinite" Les Mecs Gris

This track is a new version of "Face of Father"(for our "Infinite" futur album).
Lyrics and vocals by Glen Reynolds.

"If you walk lightly
You might fall
Farther behind me
Until you can't see me at all
Listen for my footsteps 
Through the fog
Try not to be careless
In this lurid lonely bog.

I don't mean to sound frightening
To hit you like lightning 
But you just cannot fail
I don't mean to sound stressed out
But I know without a doubt 
These hounds are on my tail

I hear them behind me 
Fear that they'll find me
They're coming up faster
This is disaster. 

I hear them behind me 
Fear that they'll find me
They're coming up faster

Eventually I see
There's no way 
To run from the vile beasts
Who do seek me as their prey
I fall to my tired knees
Call your name
And hope that you find me
Cause they could get me any day

I don't mean to sound frightening
To hit you like lightning 
But you just cannot fail
I don't mean to sound stressed out
But I know without a doubt 
These hounds are on my tail"

"Hellhounds On My Tail" Les Mecs Gris

This is about Vladimir Nabokov, and how his works possibly helped him overcome the lustful urges that recur in his works. In this song, he is overtaken with the fantasy romances that he's written about during his life, and they torture him. He invites the listener into his tortured soul, telling them "You've got a lot of things to learn" ... about the author. 


An Education

It's late at night
Nothing is right
I sit and I write Lolita by lamplight

My heart feels like lead
Like its black and dead
I see the number five and it seems red

Hunt butterflies on western trips
It helps the nerves- I come to grips
These characters keep coming back
If they're not real- why do I feel I've cracked? 

You've got a lot of things to learn-

An education now.

There's cash to burn
Crowds love to yearn
It seems that my life has taken a great turn

But emptiness
I must confess 
Is seeping in from my inner weakness

So I fantasize on Alpine trips
In my own plot I still kiss lips 
These characters keep coming back
They seem so real- 

You've got a lot of things to learn.

"An Education" Les Mecs Gris

Vocals by Glen Reynolds and Greguy, bass by Romain Lepage...

I lose my memory
Looking for fantasy
Starring in the night
I needed fiction

Old dreams around me
It's became an industry
It's a game, not a fight
I need illusion

And yet we see it every day
I'm alone- your alone
And though we have been cast astray
Not alone - not alone

Does anyone hear me now? 
I stand at the edge of this pit and shout-
To the abyss below, where the blackness grows
Does anyone hear me now?

Does anyone hear me now? 
My heart and my soul have been bled out
I can't resist control turn the lights down low
Does anyone hear me now?

Yeah, you've got to know
You've got to know in the dark 
You've got to find that spark- 
Turn the light on
Illuminate shadows
Illuminate shadows
Illumate.

I lose my memory
Looking for fantasy
Starring in the night
I needed fiction

Old dreams around me
It's became an industry
It's a game, not a fight
I need illusion

"I Needed Fiction" Les Mecs Gris

Lyrics: Glen Reynolds
Bass: Romain Lepage
Composed by Greguy

"I sit at the bar and I drink alone
As if I might bring baby home
I give no reason 'cos there's no reason to need
Life surrounds me 
Yeah yeah

In this city there's no dawn 
Electric light that shines is always on
I'm camouflaged by its strange glow
Got me blinded
Got me blinded

I think she was here
Electric light 
I can feel
Electric light 
I think she was here
I see electric light 

It's all around me
It's a cycle
It's all around me
My disciple
It's all I'll ever be
Electric light's glow

I think she was here
Electric light
I can feel
Electric light
I think she was here
I see electric light 

I close my eyes but I can't ever sleep
These city lights are burning me too deep
I see the shadows through my eyelids closed 
I feel the luminescence in my toes

I close my eyes 
But I cannot sleep
These city lights 
Are burning me too deep
I see the shadows
The burning shadows"

"I think it's a long road
From the ground to the sky
Like a hot coal
Burning in my mind

My sun rises

It could be
A beautiful day
I wanna be 
On my way

The search party's looking-
Walking in lines in fields
They pray to god not to find you
A fiendish man's sick yield

And they may never discover
What made you walk away 
So disconnected as lovers
Brittle minds tend to fray

Driving on a speedway
Feeling like a hero
Words are so blind
Maybe I should fall

My sun rises 

Oh come with me
Whatever what they say
Don't wanna fall
Victom to their prey...

And then finally the moment came
The one that they had feared 
Abandoned there in the hedgerows
Where you had left this sphere

Your mother cried for the closure
Detectives' faces steeled
They've seen this stuff many times before
In other empty fields

My sun rises but it also sets
Through our lives we have to pay these debts
It's a cycle that we must go through
Tears of joy run into pools of doom."

"My Sun Rises" Les Mecs Gris Ft Perrine

"Baby
You're so far away
I close my eyes
It's all about you
Maybe
Dreams are coming true
I close my eyes
Forever with you

On this wondrous day
Let's just slip away
Take your hands in mine 
Until the end of time
And if you leave I will follow 
I won't stop until I'm there I will be yours 
Without you I feel so hollow
All the emptiness inside- a closing door 
Purring.
It's all about you

Baby 
You're coming through
I close my eyes
Is there something new
Maybe 
You love me too
I close my eyes
Staying with you

On this wondrous day
Let's just slip away
Take your hands in mine 
Until the end of time
'Cos there is something about you
I can't keep you from my thoughts you're on mind 
I can't believe they could doubt you
You're an awe inspiring force- you are devine.
Purring.
It's all about you"

"All About You" Les Mecs Gris Ft Perrine/Agathe/Romain

Inspired by "Her" the movie...

Tomorrow Is My Machine's Birthday

"This apparatus doesn't have a heart
It knows my login so I guess that is a start
That's a start

It's got my preferences and knows my name
It doesn't care my every routine is the same
It plays my game

So I'm thankful 
Yes, I'm grateful
Assign a female voice so I'm not hateful

I start to realize she's not the same
As the all the others that have brought me shame
I won't wake up from this dream
We'll never break up 'cos she's so pristine

I modified her hard drive ages ago
I hear her humming, hear her comfy glow

It's beauty on the inside
Technology that gives pride

**************
Tu n'es pas organique
Je me sens entier
Pas besoin de t'écouter

Tu es mécanique
Tu me fais vibrer
Et toi…je peux t'acheter…

Pour oublier ma solitude 
Qui me fait mourir…

**************

Then a virus
Did divide us
She fell ill and then her functions froze

Started to realize she not the same
There is no other that could make me tame
I can't wake up - I can't scream 
We'll never be together- she's diseased

I modified her hard drive ages ago
I hear it humming with nowhere to go

It's beauty on the inside
Technology that gives pride

There's always tomorrow-
I can get a new girlfriend again
There's always tomorrow-
I can have a new birthday for her again
There's always tomorrow.

"Tomorrow Is My Machine's Birthday" Les Mecs Gris

They Live!!!
This song has been inspired by the great John Carpenter movie!
Don't forget to consume ;)
See you!
He finds the future
In glasses of truth
World cracked in sutures
Marry and reproduce
They push their message
The blind will consume 
See through the meshes 
To where the greys brood

Almost alone
He knows...
What it takes
A dirty hero
He stands...
He won't fall
A homeless man
He can...
See everything
In this world
That's what...
You deserve

He finds the future
In glasses of truth
World cracked in sutures
Marry and reproduce
They push their message
The blind will consume 
See through the meshes 
To where the greys brood

Almost alone
He knows...
What it takes
A dirty hero
He stands...
He won't fall
A homeless man
He can...
See everything
In this world
That's what...
You deserve
How can you leave
What lies behind... 
Your pretty way of life
That's the weight of lies

Obey 
Consume 
Marry, reproduce
Sleep 
Consume 
Do not question who

"Homeless Man" Les Mecs Gris Ft Anaelle

I'm really happy to share this track! A great collaboration with Anaelle!
Thanks Glen for your awesome work on this one!!!!

"I'll be waiting, 
Just take the time,
Please don't hide

It's just about you and I
Yeah, I wait you,
I'm mad about you

[Strophe 1]

Something keep us to leave this world

But I just want stay with you
In my universe lots of words
But what can I do...

[Avant refrain]

Witch spells for love and closed secrets

[Refrain]

I'll be waiting you on a piece of Paradise
You'll see it's a small place but good enough
For us

[Strophe 2]

I hope in few million years 
We'll be here again and again
Maybe tomorrow the sun won't shine
So now I want you to try 
Witch spells and closed secrets

Ooohhh, I am waiting for you...."

"Waiting" Les Mecs Gris feat Anaelle

Let's take some good time with this track.  Thanks Glen and Anaelle for your great work!!!

My feeder

If you could change anything 
Maybe you should try 

(Oh think twice
Just think twice )

And the world is falling down 
You are not apart 

And it's all about my money 
More than you could count 

I will tell you 
What you wanna do 
Let me bring you
Another guilty way 

I will tell you
What you wanna do
Let me show you
A dirty way of life 
And I yell, 
"Dearest, belle- how could you do this?" 
Hit by shells, how i felt 
"How could you ruin this?" 
The one that I would die for
I fell right from the sky for. 

All these things they make me want to cry 
Lost inside the oceans in your eyes 
An innocence inside  of me's been lost
A ghost ship on the sea that's being tossed. 

Is this what you're looking for? 
Is this what you're looking for? 
(I think I found it now.)

"My Feeder" Les Mecs Gris feat Anaelle

Here's the final version of this special track!


"The Gate"Ver2 Les Mecs Gris

Progressive Mythology

"It's time for soap
Inside these walls
Light and shadows
Losing my soul
My soul

Don't wanna talk
So let it flow
I want to know
It's just a show
Just a show…"

We sail in the sounds
When no one's around
Feet never touch the ground
So high above the town

We're never coming down
These heights are newly found
It's fairly new to me 
Progressive mythology

We never lost our way
Up here we plan to stay 
It's where we want to be
Progressive mythology

I wish there was a back door to the floor 
I dream that I could go back to once before
I wish there was a back door to the floor

We sail in the sounds"

Progressive Mythology Les Mecs Gris

We hope you will enjoy it!!!

"Downtown Bride"

I would you to see
What we do in the night
I want you to be
Light of my darkside

I'm your downtown bride...

So this is where we are now
Oxen on an old plow 
Struggle just to make up
Lovers in a break up
I've seen much betters days
My tears have stained my soul
The heat waves ańd the haze
Make most men lose control 

I'm just a spirit
Walking down the street
Like a shadow
Over the moonlight

Downtown Bride....

I'm sick of being lonely 
My shadow is my only 
Friend I can rely on
I drink to hide the nylons
I've see the darkest things
My cries have stained my soul
The devil's blackened wings 
Bind me to pay the toll.

I would you to see
What we do in the night
I want you to be
Light of my dark side

I'm your downtown bride...

I'm just a spirit
Walking down the street
Like a shadow
Over the moonlight

I'm your downtown bride...
