(ON WHICH SIDE MY BREAD IS BEST BUTTERED) WE ARE DRIVING HOME. MY ARM IS POPPING OUT OF PLACE. ACUTE SHOULDER PAIN. THE BAG I AM CARRYING IS THE SAME WEIGHT AS I AM. NINE STONE NOW, THEN, PERHAPS EIGHT. THE KEYS ARE IN MY HAND. ONE KEY IS APPROXIMATELY TWO MILLIMETERS LONGER THAN THE OTHER. THAT IS HOW I KNOW WHICH ONE TO USE (ON WHICH SIDE MY BREAD IS BEST BUTTERED). SHE SCREAMS AT ME WHICH SETS MY THOUGHTS IN MOTION. (THIS SIDE). SHE STOPS THE CAR. THE BELT COMES AWAY LIKE IT WAS NEVER FASTENED. BUT ONCE I AM OUT THE DOOR AND STANDING SHE IS THERE TOO. I AM IMPRESSED BY HER SPEED. I WONDER IF I WILL MAKE IT IN TIME AND WHERE I WILL BE WHEN I STOP. AFTER A STRUGGLE THE DOOR MAKES IMPACT WITH MY CHEEK. I AM SHOCKED BUT I COMPLY AND WE CONTINUE WITH THE JOURNEY. I HAVE GOTTEN OFF TOO EARLY, NOW I HAVE TO CARRY THE BAG SOME WAY. I PUT IT DOWN IN THE EMPTY ROOM. IT'S FULL OF DIRTY CLOTHES. I MAKE MY EXCUSES AND LEAVE. MY CHEEK STINGS BUT I AM GRATEFUL MY TRAM TICKET HASN'T EXPIRED.

(On Which Side My Bread Is Best Buttered)

LIGHT YOURSELF A CIGGIE THEN DRIVE THROUGH THE CITY: WATCH THE BIRDS LOST IN FLIGHT. IF YOU INDULGE IN THE FRENZY, THEN STRAYING IS EASY - THEY'RE BLINDED BY OUR LIGHTS. ROWS OF POLES, A CROWD OF MOLES - THEY'RE SEARCHING FOR DIRECTION. VANISHING GOALS, THE NIGHT UNFOLDS AND WE'RE BEGGING FOR SALVATION. A RAIN OF COAL - THEY HIT THE SOIL AND WE BLAME IT ON LIGHT POLLUTION. KNOWING THESE STREETS, WELL, THEY'RE SHAPED BY OUR FEET, BUT IT'S STILL AN ALIEN SIGHT. AND I CAN'T SEEM TO FIT IN, BUT I'M FIGHTING MY HABIT OF DESIGNING ALTERED PLIGHTS. NEIGHBOURHOODS OF CONCRETE WOODS AND I'M SEARCHING FOR DIRECTION. CHANGING MY MOOD WHERE YOU ONCE STOOD AND WE'RE BEGGING FOR SALVATION. RIDE A CLOUD BEFORE YOUR (GLITTERING) BLOOD ADDS TO LIGHT POLLUTION

Light Pollution

FROM YOUR EYES I MUST SKIP FADED PICTURES, MEMORIES, SERPENTINE OF YOUR DREAMS. IS IT GETTING ANY BETTER? OUT OF SIGHT, I'M ASLEEP. LOCK YOUR NEEDS, THROW THE KEYS. GOT THE SACK OF YOUR TORTURED SEAS. WRITE IT ON A PIECE OF PAPER AND TEAR IT ON THE SLY. YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO HEAR ABOUT YOURSELF. YOU BEG, YOU SHOUT, YOU YELL, YOU'RE OUT OF EVERYTHING I WANT, SO HOLD MY HAND TILL WE FUCK UP. SINGING SONGS WON'T MAKE IT EASY TO MAKE YOU THINK WE MUST BE AWAY FROM LOVE AND HEAVEN'S SEAS. ANYWAY IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE (ON THE SLY) YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO HEAR ABOUT YOURSELF. YOU BEG, YOU SHOUT, YOU YELL, YOU'RE OUT OF EVERYTHING I WANT, SO HOLD MY HAND TILL WE WAKE UP. YOU'RE MORTIFIED AND COLD, I LAUGH, YOU STASH ME ON A SHELF AND BEG, AND SHOUT. YOU'LL FAIL TO SPOT THE REASONS WHY YOU CAN'T ACCEPT THE END TILL WE BREAK UP.

On The Sly

YOU THINK THE CITY IS ON YOUR NOSE. I GUESS MY INTUITION GOT IT WRONG. BE DENIED AS YOU WERE TOLD. THE PICS OF YOUR DAD WON'T BE NICELY FOLD AS YOU WERE NOT THERE, AS YOU WERE NOT THERE. CRACK THE MATCHES ON YOUR LEG. THE IMAGE YOU'RE JUST GIVING IS OUT OF DATE. SO TONIGHT BE YOURSELF. YOU'RE SHAKING AS HELL, I WAS MISTAKEN AND YOU WERE NOT THERE. SPEAKING TOO LOUD MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE IMPORTANT. YOU'RE SLOWLY SINKING. YOU THINK THE CITY IS ON YOUR NOSE. I GUESS MY INTUITION GOT IT WRONG. BE DENIED AS YOU WERE TOLD. THE PICS OF YOUR DAD WON'T BE NICELY FOLD AS YOU WERE NOT THERE.

04 - Anger - VÆV Remix

Written, composed, performed and recorded by Mehdi Messouci in Berlin, Germany. Mixed and mastered by Laurent Blot in Paris, France.

If he asks about me, oh me, tell him I'll be with her there where sunflowers watch over me. Teach me how to stop panicking each time you take me to the top, terrified we might both fall in a headlong, be apart and end up back where we both belong. I must learn to put my trust into your hands. Oh lust fills my heart with dust, fills it with sand.
