Intergalactic

(Lyrics translated in english below)
-----

Je file
Dans la nuit
Je n'ai pas le temps je file
En ignorant la pluie
Comme un pinson perdu la haut
Comme un poisson remontant le ruisseau
Bravant le courant
Avançant dans le vent

Je file
Dans la vie
Je n'ai pas le temps je file  
Sans abri sans appui
Comme une roue qui tomberait à l'arrêt
Comme un fou qui croierait s'évader
Ne jamais s'arrêter
Et le mouvement d'après...

Je file
Comme dans un rêve
Tout est bien plus facile
Quand le réel s'achève
Si l'existence est un combat
Perdu d'avance et sans aucune loi
Alors j'ai choisi
La fuite à la vie

Je vais en avant
Mais sans rien devant  

Je file
Vers ce lieu
Un rendez vous d'avril
Que j aimerais si joyeux
Mais j'ai si peur : si je me trompais ?
Dans mon coeur je ne sais comment aimer
Et souffrir alors
Pour mourir encore ? 

Je file
Perturbé
Je vois des flash qui défilent
Quelque chose a changé
Les jours qui passent,  et je retrouve le goût
Les souvenirs s'enlacent et dessinent un nouveau nous
Je ne contrôle plus vraiment
Je laisse aller gaiement

Je file
Dans tes yeux
Je ne vois plus le temps qui défile
Je ne vois plus que nous deux
Dans cette âme soeur j'ai trouvé la force
Oh ta douceur reforge l'ancienne écorce
Le destin l'a voulu
Le reste est superflu

I run off into the night
I don't have time I run
Ignoring the rain
Like a chaffinch lost up there
Like a fish up the stream
Braving the current
Moving in the wind

I'm running through life
I have no time I run  
Homeless and unsupported
Like a wheel that falls when it stops
Like a madman who thinks he's escaping
Never stopping
And the next movement...

I run like a dream
Everything is much easier
When reality ends
If existence is a fight
Lost in advance and without any law
So I chose
To run rather than live

I go forward
But with nothing in front  

I'm running to this place
A rendezvous in April
I'd like to be so happy
But I'm so afraid : what if I'm wrong?
In my heart I don't know how to love
And suffer then
To die again ? 

I'm running disturbed
I see flashes of light going by
Something has changed
The days go by, and I find back the taste
Memories entwine and draw a new us
I'm no longer in control
I let go happily

I run into your eyes
I can't see time passing by
I see only the two of us
In this soul mate I've found strength
Oh your sweetness reforges the old bark
Fate has willed it
The rest is unnecessary

Bruce Says I Don't Swing (WARNING: DO NOT LISTEN WITH SHARP OBJECTS NEARBY)

Absolute Mindfulless

(Music and Lyrics written by Tommy Johnson.)

Cryin', canned heat, canned heat, mama, mama,
Cryin', sure Lord killin' me
Cryin', canned heat, 
Sure Lord is killin' me,
Killin' me,
Take alcorub to take these canned heat blues

Cryin' mama, mama, mama, mama,
Know canned heat's killin' me
Cryin' mama, 
Canned heat is killin' me,
Killin' me,
Canned heat don't kill me?
Cryin' babe, I'd never die.

I woked up, a-this mo'nin
With canned heat on my mind
Woke up this mo'nin'
Canned heat was on my mind
I woke up this mo'nin
Canned heat, Lord
On my mind,

Cried, Lord,
Lord, I wonder,
Canned heat, Lord, killing me
Think alcorub is tearing up my soul,
Up my soul,
Because brown-skin woman don't do the easy roll,
Because brown-skin woman don't do the easy roll,

Canned Heat Blues

Iris


There was an iris in the way that I saw you smiling,
dancing to the London song, crying in my mind..
It is so quiet now that the music has faded into night
now that the hymns have gone away, the gardens broke in two

Hold me in the wild winds, calling in the night
tomorrow all these angels gone away
And who we love and what we love, don’t mean a thing to me
it’s just the lights and how they rumble in your head

Iris deeping blue and closing
wrap your body round me mind
drying drowning slowly falling 
gentle show me the unwind...
.

[I wrote this song a long time ago, back in the ‘80s when I was living in London and signed up to EMI... it was not a ‘suitable’ song for recording back then... heh, no hooks and a loose groove..  but I unearthed it the other day and it just seemed to flow in my own wee studio.  It’s virtually all acoustic, with a light layer of synth... and a few sonic gaps filled here and there...   I played my upright piano and blended that together with the vst piano, kicked a few bottles around and then pretended my poor cello was a jazzy bass...  it gave me a great blister to play it that way!   

It feels like quite a journey, to remember this song from back in another very different part of my life and now to re-claim it... as all my own work.    :-)]
