Tea & Pillows

On parle souvent de l'enfance comme d'un paradis perdu., mais pour certaines et certains d'entre nous, elle fut un véritable cauchemar, terrorisés par un aigle noir...
à Annie...
Paroles:
Ton géniteur, qui aurait du,
Te protéger, choisit l'abus,
Et ses mains, sur ton corps d'enfant,
Et le silence, si pesant...
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ta jeunesse paya le prix,
Dis toi qu'il a payé aussi,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.
J'ai parcouru, tes dix sept ans,
Je n'ai rien su, de tes tourments,
De tes terreurs, toujours nocturnes,
Quand le matin, se faisait diurne.
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ta jeunesse paya le prix,
Dis toi qu'il est très loin d'ici,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.
On ne refera pas l'histoire,
On fera face à nos mémoires.
Il en sera toujours ainsi,
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.
On refera jamais l'histoire,
Il restera un aigle noir.
Au sommet de tes insomnies,
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.

We often talk about childhood as a lost paradise, but for some of us, it was a real nightmare, terrorized by a black eagle...
to Annie...
Words:
Your father, who should have,
Protect yourself, choose abuse,
And his hands, on your child's body,
And the silence, so heavy...
If your childhood pursues you,
If your youth paid the price,
Tell yourself he paid too,
If your childhood pursues you.
I have traveled, your seventeen years,
I knew nothing of your torments,
Of your terrors, always nocturnal,
When the morning became diurnal.
If your childhood pursues you,
If your youth paid the price,
Tell yourself that he is very far from here,
If your childhood pursues you.
We will not repeat history,
We will face our memories.
It will always be like this,
If your childhood pursues you,
If your childhood pursues you.
We will never repeat history,
There will remain a black eagle.
At the height of your insomnia,
If your childhood pursues you,
If your childhood pursues you.

Si ton enfance te poursuit

(chanson à récapitulation)

Pourquoi faut travailler ?
C’est la faute au pêcher
Qui s’ prend pour un pommier !
Si y avait pas eu d’pommier / Y aurait pas eu d’serpent
Si y avait pas eu d’serpent / Y aurait pas eu d’pécher
CQ CQ CQFD CQFD

Mais pour tout démêler
Il suffit de penser
C’est la faute au verger !
Si y avait pas eu d’verger / Y aurait pas eu d’pommier
Si y avait pas eu d’pommier / Y aurait pas eu d’serpent
Si y avait pas eu d’serpent / Y aurait pas eu d’pécher
CQ CQ CQFD CQFD

Mais Dieu, incorruptible,
Dit : « c’est inadmissible,
C’est la faute à la Bible ! »
Si y avait pas eu de Bible / Y aurait pas eu d’verger
Si y avait pas eu d’verger / Y aurait pas eu d’pommier
Si y avait pas eu d’pommier / Y aurait pas eu d’serpent
Si y avait pas eu d’serpent / Y aurait pas eu d’pécher
CQ CQ CQFD CQFD

La Bible manuscrite
Sous l’encore qui s’agite
Dit : c’est la faute au scribe !
Si y avait pas eu de scribe / Y aurait pas eu de Bible
Si y avait pas eu de Bible / Y aurait pas eu d’verger
Si y avait pas eu d’verger / Y aurait pas eu d’pommier
Si y avait pas eu d’pommier / Y aurait pas eu d’serpent
Si y avait pas eu d’serpent / Y aurait pas eu d’pécher
CQ CQ CQFD CQFD

Mais l’encre sans crier
Maudit le parolier
Et sans un parolier
Y aurait pas eu d’chanson / Y aurait pas eu d’chanson (3 X)
Chanson qui tourne en rond / Chanson qui tourne en rond (2 X)

CQFD = Ce Qu’il Fallait Démontrer

CQFD
(recap song)

Why do we have to work?
Blame it on the peach tree
Who thinks he's an apple tree!
If there hadn't been an apple tree / There wouldn't have been a snake
If there hadn't been a snake / There'd be no sin
CQ CQ CQFD CQFD

But to untangle it all
Just think
It's the orchard's fault!
If there hadn't been an orchard / There wouldn't have been an apple tree
If there'd been no apple tree / There'd have been no snake
If there hadn't been a snake / There'd be no sin
CQ CQ CQFD CQFD

But God, incorruptible,
Says: "It's inadmissible,
It's the Bible's fault!"
If there had been no Bible / There wouldn't have been an orchard
If there'd been no orchard / There'd have been no apple tree
If there'd been no apple tree / There'd have been no snake
If there hadn't been a snake / There'd be no sin
CQ CQ CQFD CQFD

The handwritten Bible
Under the agitated still
Says: it's the scribe's fault!
If there had been no scribe / There would have been no Bible
If there'd been no Bible / There'd have been no orchard
If there'd been no orchard / There'd have been no apple tree
If there'd been no apple tree / There'd have been no snake
If there hadn't been a snake / There'd be no sin
CQ CQ CQFD CQFD

But ink without shouting
Curses the lyricist
And without a lyricist
There wouldn't have been a song / There wouldn't have been a song (3 X)
A song that goes round and round / Song that goes round and round (2 X)
CQ CQ CQFD CQFD

Bio https://linksome.me/the-rooms

The Rooms is a collective project that started in suburban Lisbon more than a decade ago. It evolves through numerous and constant collaboration, musically and visually.

The majority of its years based in Macau, South East Asia, it has been able to gather from time to time local and international artists and musicians inside a room, located on the high rise industrial buildings down by the city´s docks. 

The Rooms is an audio visual colective of individuals. It lives on numerous and constant collaboration. It crosses worlds, connected, interconnected, interwoven, intertwined, present, and alive. It feeds on cultural fire, references, history, language, music, dance, film, and art.

 It's cinematic.

We're back to the outskirts of Lisbon. Deep in its industrial and production tissue. Where factories meet residential areas and social housing flats. Gas stations and warehouses. Empty fields abandoned or unfilled. Blocks and boxes locked in cold cement amidst the perpetual hum of super highways and city orbital roads.

A makeshift territory to shelter multitudes.

Where we'll be pressing on,  grinding away, hammering on organical mechanics, aiming to continue to do the best music and visuals we can. Inspired by the raw, coarse, rough, and unpolished ways of the worlds that surround and live inside us, we'll be tailoring some new fabric soon. 

The Rooms music is a fruit of love and a soundtrack for the times we are living. Between the dark and the light is where we meet and play. 

Thank you for your ears
