I lie there
On the top of that rocky mountain, that’s my grave

I won’t last
With my head bleeding as my heart, what a snake
That swine played with me
Till I was not able to shout and to cry anymore

Oh, Lucille, now I’m going to die
I wanna cut you into little pieces
Like in horror movie scenes
Oh, Lucille, where are you going to lead me
Honey tell me

I lie there
On the top of that rocky mountain, that’s my grave

Oh, Lucille, now I’m going to die
I wanna cut you into little pieces
Like in horror movie scenes
Oh, Lucille, where are you going to lead me
Honey tell me

Tell me Lucille
Tell me
(x2)

He wasn’t exactly like Johnny Guitar
I could have died for my Billy
Spending his time in a rocking chair, smoking cigars
But he could have died just for me

I still can see the sunlight passing through the holes into your body, Billy

I found your favourite colt, and I can’t find your name in the cemetery
Still think it’s my fault, but what could you have done if you were me

I wasn’t exactly like pleased to meet him
But he had a gun and I had money
I wasn’t interested in the life he’s living
He wasn’t interested in me

I still can see your eyes wide open as you’re falling on your knees 
Please, don’t blame me

I found your favourite colt, and I can’t find your name in the cemetery
Still think it’s my fault, but what could you have done if you were me
But what could you have done if you were me
But what could you have done if you were me

Still can see the sunlight passing through the holes into your body

Leslie Louise is a musical project of indie rock tones, whose compositions are imbued of motley influences among which, inter alia, we find David Bowie, Black Sabbath, The Beatles or Ennio Morricone. The Leslie Louise’s world is also marked by the American cinema of the New Hollywood, films noirs and spaghetti westerns – the pornographic industry, too – which are all sources of inspiration in the writing process of the texts and the creation of the visual universe, often bloody but always uncommonly sexy.

However, Leslie Louise is above all the story of a guy who was bored one night in his room, and who began to write songs with his friends who were themselves bored as well in their respective bunks. It has since become a no man's land, somewhere between Once Upon a Time in the West and Ziggy Stardust.

It’s in this wasteland that Bloodstains, Leslie Louise's first EP, was born. A walk through the desert around a central theme: murder. Rebel murder, amorous murder, luxurious murder, but most of the time the dirty, bloody and cold murder, which leaves, in the gray sand, an indelible stain of blood.
