The Taste Of Time

The idea with this album was to regroup and take the dust off ancient songs. It’s mostly old compositions, sometimes co-written with friends, in a blend of styles, voices,  moods and instruments.

SHINE AGAIN

you’ve been talkin’ ‘bout destruction
but where do you go ?
you kept asking the same question
but how do you grow ?

why don’t you wear out your shoes
down on the road ?
why don’t you kill the blues by going abroad ?

you should escape from this place
you should run
you need to shine again your face
you must try

BLISS ON THE ROAD

got a home and a dead car
i often roam in places too far

got no god on my own
sometimes alone
find my bliss on the road
where i have grown

SOME NIGHTMARES

fear walks
monsters like to talk
when i’m asleep
weak, i weep and creep and slip
where ground is deep
red
forests burn and ice melt in my head

dead

strange smells of hell
there’s a dead bird in a well
thrill
children learn to kill
but i stay still
until i see my love bleeding on the moon
soon
angels rape my sister with a spoon
then
i’m sitting in the clouds of strange birds
when
i wake up choking in my bed

checkmate

FIRE IN THE STREETS

fire in the streets
we’re all hating industry
even before we meet
i know we both disagree

“choose your side tonight”
they all say

i may be long to decide alone

SILVER STREAM

monday i was in my dreams
today we’re on tuesday
and i’m swimming
in your silver stream

show me
how can i take your hand
show me
how to kiss you

please suspect me
to adore you, i’m guilty
or grease your gun
and kill me a straight body
and you’ll say “bye bye”

face to face
after rain, the sun will shine
fine, and i’m looking at you

the fog is falling down
begin to see the way
let’s take the subway
and go away
come on with me
life is waiting for us
through your pretty eyes
it will be fine

we’re lying down
clouds swimming the sky
maybe it will come true

ELEPHANTS IN MUD

shadows cry
meadows fly
who knows why
no one comes by their side
(i see them
through the window
they feel pain
far from snow)

moving faster than
elephants in mud
with broken wings
lost

all your head was full of pain
you kept calling and calling again
and your heart was also dark
always frightened of the shark

when i heard you, i did not
pray for your life in peace
keep your soul in bliss
ever

i was sleeping
in a forest
angels came down
with a blue dress
and they brought me up

we stopped on a cloud
they started talking loud
that i should not be proud
and they throw me down

BREAK FREE

i must leave
bye, so sorry to grieve

you said “i want to break free
no need to wait for me”
(if you go, i will dry)

but i went away anyway
on a shiny highway
on a sunny day i locked the door
but i won’t do it anymore
i dropped the key i can’t remember where
wanting to see here and there
