TREES UPON THE HILL (3:18)



Trees upon the hill tired by the rain
Try to feel to see better now
Flowers in the dirt tired by the wind
Try to feel to breathe much better

Ask to see a dream
Ask to feel inside
Inquire to believe
Much better now, much better

She has covered with dust my pain
She has covered with trust my name
She has covered and wrapped up my faith
She's a wizard staring in the shade

Trees upon the hill kissed by the wind
Try to know why now the sun shines
Flowers in heaven kissed once again
Try to know why the world is so proud

Ask to have a dream
Ask to read inside
Inquire to believe
Much better, much better now

DON'T CARE ABOUT SHIT (2:09)



All we have lost is all that we bleed
There's nothing we need
If what's done is done well
A song from the deep
Must make the fears come

All we have got is all that we need
All that we want
Is what we used to do
A song from the deep
Stories from the told
Tales for a deal
Story for the devil (my brother)

I don't want to need to know
I've no need for foolish things
I don't need to want to know
Cause I don't care about shit


Sacha Toorop : Sequence, vocals




ZIP ZOP (3:02)



Zip Zop, you don't stop
Staying on your feet and standing at the top
So open your heart, open your mind
Give your smiles and hold me
Do the dance, guess at the steps
And then to free your ass
Open your heart, and the heart
will follow

Zoopi, you want to start
So open your mind, open your heart
Live the jive, guess at the steps
And then to free your ass
Open your mind, open your heart
And the beat will follow ...

Sleep is coming
Dreams are booming
And the moon is shining

Jules Lalement : reverse bass
Sacha Toorop : Drums, bass, guitars, percussions, vocals

SILLY DAYS (3:20)



Silly days, drifting slowly
The moon has gone, sun goes raining
And I've got lies to bury
As dull as I am

Wooden head, soul into a bow
Heart on hands turns to sorrow
But I've got love to give
As well as I can
As dull as I am
Oh well I will

Phil Corthouts : dobro guitar, acoustic & electric guitar
Sacha Toorop : Drums, acoustic guitar, harmonium, vocals




NO FEARS, NO SHAME (4:22)



It's hard you know, I'm waiting for the same things, and you're waiting too
We need no shame, I need no fears
It's a crazy earth, to rip off the wings of flies with an angel smile
To leave is still a dream, learn something else
It's the blame of all, our heart's melting, he's almost lost
He needs no fears, no shame

I'm not still, cut control off
What do they want, to feel real
What do we do, our hope dies
What we feel, death is our guest
I'm not quiet, the heart's on fire
Maybe forever, some wherever
Come now ...

Do you learn enough for us, I need someone in me
All worry wants to be diving with the sun
But we lost our life so
Do you learn enough for us, I need someone in me ...
Are we waiting 'til the sun burns out
To live our life, wait or love

Sylvie Renaud : Violin
Marie Hélène Da Silva : Violon
Sacha Toorop : Other instruments, vocals




EL BATO (0:49)



Quatre, cinq fois le tour du monde en bateau,
Sur un bateau




QUI TU ES (2:31)



Talk to me through a mirror
Talking without fears
And stay with you on the inside world
Walk on me it's smart to feel
Talk or run or walk so speed
But free my mind and lay my soul

Beating de tout mon soul
And falling down the ground
Comme si j'étais saoul
Know what you are, I know who you are
And know what I need not what I want
Dis ce que je sais, qui tu es
I give what I take, give what you take well

Marie Hélène DaSilva : Violin
Sylvie Renaud : Violin
Sacha Toorop : Other instruments, vocals




ICI, L'EXIL (1:32)



Ici, dans le monde ici-bas
Loin du (grand) noir
Van de galaxie
Is een land
Près du petit bois
De moeders, les garçons et les filles
S'émerveillent, de leurs yeux blauw
Van de kleine en mooie dag
Eclatant
Aux lumières de la vie
Prachtig
Quel bonheur

Sacha Toorop : Harmonium, vocals




AIN'T GOT NO CURE (5:02)



I ain't got no cure
I ain't someone else do the rest
So I ain't got no hate to bring on your love

I ain't got no doubts
I ain't someone else to do the best
So I ain't got no sun to shine on you, love

Ain't got no hate
Ain't got no sun
I ain't got no cure

I've got some fears
About someone else, who looks like me
'Cause I ain't got no things to make yourself complete

I've got some cracks
About something else that devil's had
But I ain't got no hate to bring on your love

NO ESCAPE (5:18)



Did you see me before when I ran for you
How did you feel before, when I was in love with you
All those things that I don't care about
All those pretty things that we once cared about
No need to know
What we want to feel is never what we do
Here for a while
How many long times we've waited for a smile

Did you see me before, when I ran fast for you
Have a look inside, when I shine in love with you
All these things that I don't care about
All these straight things that we don't talk about
No will to know, we dance alone

Accross the sunfield, accross the moon
All over the world, all upon the scene
Inside my love, inside my heart
Some kill to die, even when they're free
They kill love
But somewhere I don't want to die
But somewhere I don't want to lie
Somehow I don't want a place to die

No escape from here
I wait for you at the top of the world
And dance until you smile

BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON (3:47)



The queen of light shines down along your sorrow
Today she's full and let's her love go rule
She came into my window
And now we must find a positive thinking

There's nothing I want here
To take her place
There's no one I want
To hold or kiss her lace

She's my dream, when I'm down
By the light of the moon, if I'm right

There's nothing I want
To take her place anymore
There's no one I want
To hold and kiss her lace
