Forget Me Not lyrics - Cocorosie
In brown clown face, tattered paw, pine scraps
Fish bones, home phone
Dial broke, pocket sunk
In brown paper sack,
Face, head, eyes black
Shadow tears, funny ears
Bird mouth, crumble ash
In black plastic bag,
Wounded snakes, slaughtered skunk
No grey flawless, dead deer
Shocked eyes
Open sky, velvet ropes
VIP heavenward, waywardly staggered drunk
Wounded stag, limp your way to paradise, limp your way to paradise
Now I'm wondering if I close my eyes and I fall back in time
[Chorus:]
If only I could remember you
Your name on a tree your blood inside of me
Your songs all unsung, your thoughts all unspun
Where would you live, where would you dance
How would you make love, who would be your dove
If only I could remember you, if only, if only [x2]
The fallen mirror bounces back
Some of moon's gentle laugh
Sudden echo, soft attack
Mushrooms glittering on this path
There's only one way to find out who dared slayed the deer
Left the eyes for the flies, then retreated into the brown grass
Bed of pine, needles prickling
The smallest manger fit for girl kings
Chicken bones and pervert winks
Dime bags and plastic rings
I still remember our first phone number
They circle me with genders and colors flickering
Like demons of diamonds of nothing, flickering
I'm wondering if I'll close my eyes and fall back in time
Could I remember, could I
[Chorus x3]
Fish bones, home phone
Dial broke, pocket sunk
In brown paper sack,
Face, head, eyes black
Shadow tears, funny ears
Bird mouth, crumble ash
In black plastic bag,
Wounded snakes, slaughtered skunk
No grey flawless, dead deer
Shocked eyes
Open sky, velvet ropes
VIP heavenward, waywardly staggered drunk
Wounded stag, limp your way to paradise, limp your way to paradise
Now I'm wondering if I close my eyes and I fall back in time
[Chorus:]
If only I could remember you
Your name on a tree your blood inside of me
Your songs all unsung, your thoughts all unspun
Where would you live, where would you dance
How would you make love, who would be your dove
If only I could remember you, if only, if only [x2]
The fallen mirror bounces back
Some of moon's gentle laugh
Sudden echo, soft attack
Mushrooms glittering on this path
There's only one way to find out who dared slayed the deer
Left the eyes for the flies, then retreated into the brown grass
Bed of pine, needles prickling
The smallest manger fit for girl kings
Chicken bones and pervert winks
Dime bags and plastic rings
I still remember our first phone number
They circle me with genders and colors flickering
Like demons of diamonds of nothing, flickering
I'm wondering if I'll close my eyes and fall back in time
Could I remember, could I
[Chorus x3]
Un Beso lyrics - Cocorosie
My mother calls it gypsy lifting
I'm going to get a bag
The wind is just right
And the violets think so too
I think I spy a chat
Making a poo
I'd like to gypsy-lift the stars
And send one out to you
You, who are you
Someone with no dandruff
Perhaps brown eyes a derelict
A dandy
I'm out shopping in my canoe
Finger frolicking the fireflies
Finger fucking firewood
Spying on the masturbating snails
Hollyhocks and cat tails
Boneless jelly fish and whales
Perhaps I'll meet you then
On the decadent horizon
Where young lovers lock lips
Looking at the lockness monster
Phooey, phooey, hence cabluey
Gypsying-lifting on a hand stand
Little fawny, dawn-lit and scrawny
Daryl, Jordan, Henry and Johnny
(Buttermilk molasses, sugar tooth and grasses)
Un beso, un beso
You tear me apart
(Buttermilk molasses, sugar tooth and grasses)
Un beso, un beso
Your palm on my heart
(Buttermilk molasses, sugar tooth and grasses)
Un beso, un beso
You tear me apart
(Buttermilk molasses)
Un beso, un beso
Your palm on my heart
(Buttermilk molasses, sugar tooth and grasses)
Un beso, un beso

Un beso, un beso
Your palm on my heart
(Buttermilk molasses, sugar tooth and grasses)
Un beso, un beso
You tear me apart
(Buttermilk molasses)
Un beso, un beso
Your palm on my heart
It's just me the chimney sweep
Little bo-peep
Tending to her sheep
Eating her curds and way
Daryl Hanna, get a grip
It's only the first season
Of the end of your career
Nightmares and dreams
Harlequins and queens
Who is my truest love
Don't make me take my finger out
And point it in your direction
The bible tells me so
Gee wiz
He's out shopping in the trees again
Moss on trees, moss on trees, moss on trees
Broken branches, avalanches
Who's got the keys to my jeep
Who's got the code to the condo of my soul
Out robbing graves again like Marilyn Manson
I'll admit I'm popular amongst the ivies and the ferns
Can't say if the felines took to me
Out robbing graves again like Marilyn Manson
Un beso, un beso
You tear me apart
Un beso, un beso
Your palm on my heart
Un beso, un beso
You tear me apart
Un beso, un beso
Your palm on my heart
(Buttermilk molasses, sugar tooth and grasses)
Un beso, un beso
You tear me apart
(Buttermilk molasses, sugar tooth and grasses)

Lost Girls lyrics - Cocorosie
Warming the hearts of tragic hoodlum spirits
Brighten the eyes of petty thieves who crawl at night
Who feign to use a knife
Jingle jangle the cosmo's are on fire
The blazing lines of the criminal choir
Rejoiced to be alive
Broken and depraved
Sullied mop and rusted pail
Centuries of poison to escape this heaven or hell
This earthly cell of dead flowers and so many wounded foes
It's hard to remember fantasy or horror
Unwanted caresses
Little Lolitas who want to be held in large hands
Dear Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed by thine name
Witches confused by their own magic
Witches displeased by their own perfume
Shame-locked women
Shaman women fuming with shame
Love-locked women
Women their own magic women
Shadow body, shadow spirit
White blood, blue night
Angels lyrics
Female creature wilted high in the raftors
Orgies of dust and butterfly laughter
Shadows spilling into the babe's milk
Sorry eyes of ghost's memoir
Four blue plus two, that makes six
That's twelve times two
Two brown eyes, one green
Hazel's asleep in the hayloft
Down the road drowning in dry grass
In the sweet maiden's lap poisened with nightshade
Witches last laugh
Stick your thumb out
Lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Even though red's not your color
I'll dress you in feathers
And fly you in the windy weather
Like a child bird marooned on an island of cats
Little dewy brawling cats
With cross-eyed and hats
They take mercy on you
They take you for walks
The mercy choir singing dismal hymns
Watery bible rhymes
All jumbled a mess
A mess of bright graves and flowers and balloons
Stick out your thumb
And lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's bound to stop here soon
Take down your hair and wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
With a knapsack of trinkets
I'm off to seek my fortune again
Chasing ghosts of dead orphans
Friend, cousin, or kin
We wave to the passer by
Moth wings of a butterfly
Endless tracks where no car pass
Close your eyes and you can fly
I'm off to meet my soul mate
A naked fawny jail bate
Wading into ponds
Filly with pollywogs at dawn
Mournin' the light
That slipped from my eyes
A little child with dirty nails
And dirty hair
I had dirty things scrawled upon my mind
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair, wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair, wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair, wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Stick out your thumb and lift up your skirt
Someone's gonna stop here soon
Take down your hair, wind up your grin
Someone's gonna take you home
Brighten the eyes of petty thieves who crawl at night
Who feign to use a knife
Jingle jangle the cosmo's are on fire

Heartache City lyrics - Cocorosie
Give me some news
I have to know
By wind or by winding road
I have to know
My brother sin of sin
Tin cup rain goes straight to the brain
Just like a bullet
You attacked and stuck
You know I love you like Diane cluck
My sweet thing now your dead
Disappeared to fog
Like the neighbors dog
I know you love me
And you meant no harm
So all is forgiven from the dusty farm
Give me some news
I have to know
By wind or by winding road
I have to know
Don't forget all the times
I nearly died
In your arms like a daisy
Hot on a farm
My torture was thus I took what I must
Had to have you had to know
Now polished and pressed
Dressed to impress you falling all around
I'm outside the door
On you garden's floor
Bareing bossom a blossom
Soul reeking awesome
My lover ravaged thing
Heartache city don't go there again
Flicker your fire
But don't get burned
You know I love you ash to the urn
My holy unpredictable
My fable teller
My starry stellar
You know I loved you from first eyes we met
And now I'm ready red hot and wet
Give me some news
I have to know
By wind or by winding road
I have to know
I have to know
By wind or by winding road
I have to know
My brother sin of sin
Tin cup rain goes straight to the brain
Just like a bullet
You attacked and stuck
You know I love you like Diane cluck
My sweet thing now your dead
Disappeared to fog
Like the neighbors dog
I know you love me
And you meant no harm
So all is forgiven from the dusty farm
Give me some news
I have to know
By wind or by winding road
I have to know
Don't forget all the times
I nearly died
In your arms like a daisy
Hot on a farm
My torture was thus I took what I must
Had to have you had to know
Now polished and pressed
Dressed to impress you falling all around
I'm outside the door
On you garden's floor
Bareing bossom a blossom
Soul reeking awesome
My lover ravaged thing
Heartache city don't go there again
Flicker your fire
But don't get burned
You know I love you ash to the urn
My holy unpredictable
My fable teller
My starry stellar
You know I loved you from first eyes we met
And now I'm ready red hot and wet
Give me some news
I have to know
By wind or by winding road
I have to know
The Tower Of Pisa lyrics - Cocorosie
There was an old woman who sat in the tree
On the side of the road
The other side of the hill
There was a river rushing by with no time to say hello
And have you seen my daughter
No time to say hello
Have you seen my son
Please excuse me mister
No time to say hello
No time to say hello
No time at all
Please excuse me mister
Have you seen my daughter
Have you seen my daughter
Have you seen my daughter
Hexed by a wizard some years prior
She lives cross-eyed like the Tower of Pisa
She was born in the prettiest
Of six girls
Now toothless can't even get a job
With no time to say hello
And have you seen my daughter
No time to say hello
Please excuse me mister
Have you seen my daughter
I'm her only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm her only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm her only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
On the side of the road
The other side of the hill
There was a river rushing by with no time to say hello
And have you seen my daughter
No time to say hello
Have you seen my son
Please excuse me mister
No time to say hello
No time to say hello
No time at all
Please excuse me mister
Have you seen my daughter
Have you seen my daughter
Have you seen my daughter
Hexed by a wizard some years prior
She lives cross-eyed like the Tower of Pisa
She was born in the prettiest
Of six girls
Now toothless can't even get a job
With no time to say hello
And have you seen my daughter
No time to say hello
Please excuse me mister
Have you seen my daughter
I'm her only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm her only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm her only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
I'm your only mother
Tim And Tina lyrics - Cocorosie
She was 29
Mother of one
Blond son
He liked butterflies
She was married
So was he
To a liar
She wanted free
She got remarried
Another three
Brown, blue eyed babies
Had demon she
He had a gap
His mind was cracked
He was all looks
And coq-fight, fire
Steel blue, heart of sapphire
The rhythm of his thoughts
Were counter-clock
White wizard, black, chicken and fox
Heart locked in a box with horseshoes
And crystals and butterfly wings
Destiny may have broken your home
But you dance to awfully crude beat
You stepped on her shoes
And murdered the clues
Of the light filled forks in the road
You turned all her pages
In rapid succession
You flew to the end
And you skipped the last [?]
You mistook magic for love
And love for obsession
He liked butterflies
Broken mirror, cheap tutu
Kissing in the photo-booth
Freeze and smile now, don't move
She's watching whales
2000 miles away
And can't remember much
Ooh, they were so cool
Mother of one
Blond son
He liked butterflies
She was married
So was he
To a liar
She wanted free
She got remarried
Another three
Brown, blue eyed babies
Had demon she
He had a gap
His mind was cracked
He was all looks
And coq-fight, fire
Steel blue, heart of sapphire
The rhythm of his thoughts
Were counter-clock
White wizard, black, chicken and fox
Heart locked in a box with horseshoes
And crystals and butterfly wings
Destiny may have broken your home
But you dance to awfully crude beat
You stepped on her shoes
And murdered the clues
Of the light filled forks in the road
You turned all her pages
In rapid succession
You flew to the end
And you skipped the last [?]
You mistook magic for love
And love for obsession
He liked butterflies
Broken mirror, cheap tutu
Kissing in the photo-booth
Freeze and smile now, don't move
She's watching whales
2000 miles away
And can't remember much
Ooh, they were so cool
Big And Black lyrics - Cocorosie
It's white trash Sunday
On the farm
I see the telephone wires
The way they go and go into the distance
And I hear the cars passing by
And the wicked tree branches reaching out
They try to catch the moon
With their long black nails
Try to catch a dream passing by
Like a cloud in the sky
Oh I see an orange cat
He always runs away at night
And a fox in the field, what's the deal
I'm walking long the tracks
Where the mighty tractor has passed
Looks like the spine of a dinosaur back
I bet he was big and black
Oh I bet he was big, big and black
Gave all the others a heart attack
Oh it's hard being big and black
He gave all the creatures a heart attack
Oh it must be hard being big and black
Giving everyone a heart attack
They pull the pistols without second thoughts
And Bam Bam Bam, he got shot
On the farm
I see the telephone wires
The way they go and go into the distance
And I hear the cars passing by
And the wicked tree branches reaching out
They try to catch the moon
With their long black nails
Try to catch a dream passing by
Like a cloud in the sky
Oh I see an orange cat
He always runs away at night
And a fox in the field, what's the deal
I'm walking long the tracks
Where the mighty tractor has passed
Looks like the spine of a dinosaur back
I bet he was big and black
Oh I bet he was big, big and black
Gave all the others a heart attack
Oh it's hard being big and black
He gave all the creatures a heart attack
Oh it must be hard being big and black
Giving everyone a heart attack
They pull the pistols without second thoughts
And Bam Bam Bam, he got shot
Lucky Clover lyrics - Cocorosie
There was a summer breeze
All things a blurry dream
In the shade of the tree
There's no more lucky clover
It's the last September ever
If you fall in love with me
So who's your mama now?
Now that it's all over
'Cause you've got to set me free
Oh, you've got to set me free
Oh, you've got to set me free
Shadow in a thicket
A dog sounding yonder
Barks a bother
Windy Christian music tickling a-lofty
Hear the seashells chatter
The black berriless makes a mutter
We're all searching for our mother
Broken hearted brother
Bloody nose, toes, horse hoof and thunder
I'm standing in the open
I'm wondering where I am now
A solitary soldier saluting heavenwards and nothing
The tiny song of bramble
You know her amble movements
She's been here now forever
Mother nature clever
So who's your daddy now?
Now that it's all over
There's no more lucky clover
It's the last September ever
There's no more lucky clover
It's the last September ever
So who's your daddy now?
There was a summer breeze
All things a blurry dream
In the shade beyond the tree
There's no more lucky clover
It's the last September ever
If you fall in love with me
So who's your mama now?
Now that it's all over
'Cause you've got to set me free
Oh, you've got to set me free
Oh, you've got to set me free
What happened to the old tire swing?
Swung too many swungses
Oh burned-out foxhole of childhood longing
Yearning for the summer
School will soon be over
There ain't nothing to kiss but a bull frog and a horse hoof
Pile of dung
Cracked out and bee stung
Rainwater flow through the money tracks
Tractor tracks, tire tracks
I hear footsteps the ghosts of cats
Might be that old Tom who got murdered by the nurse
Who rides that old motorcrycle?
Maybe someone young and virile
I want a cup of tea so bad it's making my world...
Get hold of yourself, Grandpa!
Do you want to take me beachcombing, world roaming?
Do you want to be my partner?
There was a summer breeze
All things a blurry dream
In the shade of the tree
There's no more lucky clover
It's the last September ever
If you fall in love with me
So who's your mama now?
Now that it's all over
'Cause you've got to set me free
Oh, you've got to set me free
Oh, you've got to set me free
Oh, you've got to set me free, set me free
Oh you've got to, you've got to set me free, set me free
All things a blurry dream
In the shade of the tree
There's no more lucky clover
It's the last September ever
If you fall in love with me
So who's your mama now?
Now that it's all over
'Cause you've got to set me free
Oh, you've got to set me free
Oh, you've got to set me free
Shadow in a thicket

No One Knows lyrics - Cocorosie
A train pulls through the mountain
Singing with a whistle
Riding through the moonlight
No one knows she goes there
Singing with a whistle
Riding through the moonlight
No one knows she goes there
After The Afterlife lyrics - Cocorosie
Welcome to the afterlife...
Sitting by the river, I think I smell some rain
Silver puddles glitter behind the old jail
Wet snails get wetter, crawling towards perfume
The air silks like snow
Moth wings crumble by a day-lit fire
Ash of dead wood pile
Higher, pyre for false gods,
Blazing mires
Welcome to the afterlife...
High afternoon times, afterlife times,
Twilight's best for Venus flytrap
Cloudless drops tear at my cheeks
Brusque speak a raven beak
Neon stars twinkle in the night
Sage smoke, rainbow, money signs
Welcome to the afterlife...
Sitting by the river, I think I smell some rain
Silver puddles glitter behind the old jail
Wet snails get wetter, crawling towards perfume
The air silks like snow
Moth wings crumble by a day-lit fire
Ash of dead wood pile
Higher, pyre for false gods,
Blazing mires
Welcome to the afterlife...
High afternoon times, afterlife times,
Twilight's best for Venus flytrap
Cloudless drops tear at my cheeks
Brusque speak a raven beak
Neon stars twinkle in the night
Sage smoke, rainbow, money signs
Welcome to the afterlife...
Tears For Animals lyrics - Cocorosie
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Heart so hollow I tried to swallow
Pistols, nightshade, ghosts and gallow
All you fellows climbed me like a staircase, wore me down
Smooth from footfall, wore me down
(Wore me down)
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
So long sweet thing, my old man,
Left me grieving, black and blue and tan
I've the feeling you'll be kneeling
When the day turns forever into night
(Hope for healing if you're willing)
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Orphan girl, child, sing along
Stop the slaughter of our daughters
Poisoning the water
(Do you have love for humankind?)
Heart strings broken, wearily tuned to the moon
Bastard widows born marooned
(Do you have love for humankind?)
Nameless, faceless black-eyed soul
Slave to sorrow, find your way home
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
(Hope for healing if you're willing)
Do you have love for humankind?
(Hope for healing if you're willing)
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Heart so hollow I tried to swallow
Pistols, nightshade, ghosts and gallow
All you fellows climbed me like a staircase, wore me down
Smooth from footfall, wore me down
(Wore me down)
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
So long sweet thing, my old man,
Left me grieving, black and blue and tan
I've the feeling you'll be kneeling
When the day turns forever into night
(Hope for healing if you're willing)
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Orphan girl, child, sing along
Stop the slaughter of our daughters
Poisoning the water
(Do you have love for humankind?)
Heart strings broken, wearily tuned to the moon
Bastard widows born marooned
(Do you have love for humankind?)
Nameless, faceless black-eyed soul
Slave to sorrow, find your way home
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
(Hope for healing if you're willing)
Do you have love for humankind?
(Hope for healing if you're willing)
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Do you have love for humankind?
Child Bride lyrics - Cocorosie
It’s hard to tell
This is my wedding night
I am dressed and ready
Beside my innocence
It is Hard to tell
Whose little girl am I
The man with the black hat
Will take me home tonight
I wash my body, five years grown
Promised father, leave me alone
Hope not too lonely
You pull away down the dusty road
Family waiting
Hope not too lonely
I watched the grass blow
Through the window
I am a good grass widow
I am a grass widow
News from the sparrow
My friendly fellow
They get along just fine without me
They are never lonely
I watched the flowers grow,
Outside my window
I am a good grass widow
I am a grass widow
This is my wedding night
I am dressed and ready
Beside my innocence
It is Hard to tell
Whose little girl am I
The man with the black hat
Will take me home tonight
I wash my body, five years grown
Promised father, leave me alone
Hope not too lonely
You pull away down the dusty road
Family waiting
Hope not too lonely
I watched the grass blow
Through the window
I am a good grass widow
I am a grass widow
News from the sparrow
My friendly fellow
They get along just fine without me
They are never lonely
I watched the flowers grow,
Outside my window
I am a good grass widow
I am a grass widow
Broken Chariot lyrics - Cocorosie
My love
My broken chariot
Despair
Oh, my love
My broken chariot

Oh, my love
My broken chariot
Despair
Oh, my love
My broken chariot
Despair
Oh, my love
End Of Time lyrics - Cocorosie
This is the end of time
Lets all hug and say goodbye
This is the end of time
We are all heavenward and weary
The babes
The Guns
The waste
The punks
I don’t need no human friends
The cars
The wars
The shopping malls
I can leave you all behind
And I will chase my brother’s shadow
Leave my own hung in the closet
The stars that I could hardly see
I know you are looking down at me
And Jesus by the windier light
You always protected me
From fathers arm, his wicked laugh
It echoes through the canyon
The earth will spit us out one day
Like broken angels cast away
Lets just hug and say goodbye
We are all heavenwards and weary
This is the end of time
Lets all hug and say goodbye
This is the end of time
We are all heavenward and weary
When love will come into our hearts
On that final day where lights
Mets us at the edge of time
This will not be televised
The televisions all have died
Filled with water-cyanide
Angeles, winged ones will survive
We are all blind smoke in our eyes
So lets just hug and say goodbye
We are all heavenwards and weary
This is the end of time
Lets all hug and say goodbye
This is the end of time
We are all heavenward and weary
Lets all hug and say goodbye
This is the end of time
We are all heavenward and weary
The babes
The Guns
The waste
The punks
I don’t need no human friends
The cars
The wars
The shopping malls
I can leave you all behind
And I will chase my brother’s shadow
Leave my own hung in the closet
The stars that I could hardly see
I know you are looking down at me
And Jesus by the windier light
You always protected me
From fathers arm, his wicked laugh
It echoes through the canyon
The earth will spit us out one day
Like broken angels cast away
Lets just hug and say goodbye
We are all heavenwards and weary
This is the end of time
Lets all hug and say goodbye
This is the end of time
We are all heavenward and weary
When love will come into our hearts
On that final day where lights
Mets us at the edge of time
This will not be televised
The televisions all have died
Filled with water-cyanide
Angeles, winged ones will survive
We are all blind smoke in our eyes
So lets just hug and say goodbye
We are all heavenwards and weary
This is the end of time
Lets all hug and say goodbye
This is the end of time
We are all heavenward and weary
Harmless Monster lyrics - Cocorosie
I used to be the son or the daughter of
The last name Charlotte
Nows I'm humbug and I'm harlot
Harmless monster with flowers in your hair
By the roadside, in the nighttime
I'm hardly even there
A very sudden change of color
It's your eyes who deceive you
I was an angel, someone's sweet thing
With flowers in my hair
Round the corner, flash of silver
And it's alright to recognize me
It's alright to recognize me
Call out my nameless
It's alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
It's alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
It's alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
It's alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
Graveless diggress... that's me
The last name Charlotte
Nows I'm humbug and I'm harlot
Harmless monster with flowers in your hair
By the roadside, in the nighttime
I'm hardly even there
A very sudden change of color
It's your eyes who deceive you
I was an angel, someone's sweet thing
With flowers in my hair
Round the corner, flash of silver
And it's alright to recognize me
It's alright to recognize me
Call out my nameless
It's alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
It's alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
It's alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
It's alright to recognize me, call out my nameless
Graveless diggress... that's me
Gravediggress lyrics - Cocorosie
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
All of my love and all of my holy
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
All of my love and all of my holy
Old gravediggress by the dried out brook
Whose babble turns to gravel
And my company too
I used to watch the butterflies,
Pretend that its spring
When December can't remember
Not a damn cold thing
Old gravedigger-r by the burnt out tree
Who held the hive a murmur
But no more bees
I used to hear the wind
Made speak and sing the leaves
Seems so long I've felt but a shy and tender breeze
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
Old scarecrow wounded at the knee
Lost your button eyes
And most of your stuffing
Hay for a heart
And hay for a brain
If your momma was sweeter then you might be sane
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
All of my love and all of my holy
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
All of my love and all of my holy
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
All of my love and all of my holy
Old gravediggress by the dried out brook
Whose babble turns to gravel
And my company too
I used to watch the butterflies,
Pretend that its spring
When December can't remember
Not a damn cold thing
Old gravedigger-r by the burnt out tree
Who held the hive a murmur
But no more bees
I used to hear the wind
Made speak and sing the leaves
Seems so long I've felt but a shy and tender breeze
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
Old scarecrow wounded at the knee
Lost your button eyes
And most of your stuffing
Hay for a heart
And hay for a brain
If your momma was sweeter then you might be sane
Gravedigress dig me a hole I can bury
All of my love and all of my holy
Far Away lyrics - Cocorosie
Would you go
If they came?
With open arms,
Far away
Maybe
RIP humans
Tears for animals
Animals, animals and nature
Did you ever feel an alien?
Woods
RIP your blood type
Is as delicate as night
Imagine my father
Did feel, feel, feel, feel me
I was RIP
RIP
Would you go
If they came?
Open arms,
Far away
Would you go
If they came?
Open arms,
Far away
My love letters...
My father did me nature
Nature, nature, nature
I was one year past three
Maybe nature
If they came?
With open arms,
Far away
Maybe
RIP humans
Tears for animals
Animals, animals and nature
Did you ever feel an alien?
Woods
RIP your blood type
Is as delicate as night
Imagine my father
Did feel, feel, feel, feel me

Open arms,
Far away
Would you go
If they came?
Open arms,
Far away
My love letters...
My father did me nature
Nature, nature, nature
I was one year past three
Maybe nature
Roots Of My Hair lyrics - Cocorosie
Wet is my whistle
Wandering wayward
Trouser is caught in a thorny bramble
Sun soon be slipping
Down spine of the meadow
Swamp candle flower
A watery fellow
The monarch's my right hand
Left is the sparrow
Twilight blue my bone and marrow
The river's path is old and narrow
First evening star
To comfort the scarecrow
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere...
Marveling over dead branches
Marveling over dead branches
Into the rosy atmosphere
Into the rosy atmosphere
Wandering wayward
Trouser is caught in a thorny bramble
Sun soon be slipping
Down spine of the meadow
Swamp candle flower
A watery fellow
The monarch's my right hand
Left is the sparrow
Twilight blue my bone and marrow
The river's path is old and narrow
First evening star
To comfort the scarecrow
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Marveling over dead branches
Wind in the grasses
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere
Pull me up by the roots of my hair
Into the rosy atmosphere...
Marveling over dead branches
Marveling over dead branches
Into the rosy atmosphere
Into the rosy atmosphere
Villain lyrics - Cocorosie
Give rise to the villain
Give rise to the head of
Deprived of the protector
And shield from the weather
My sister, she used goat's blood
To conceal her ravaged body
But, I was gifted with my uncle Freddy's baby
Froze in time
I could hide
Bloated belly, baby inside
Give rise to the villain
Give rise to the head of
Deprived of the protector
And shield from the weather
[x2]
What happened to my life
All this ain't right
I should have taken it myself
With uncle Freddy's knife
Cause the grave is very suiting
For a bloodless daughter bride
Give rise to the villain
Give rise to the head of
Deprived of the protector
And shield from the weather
[x4]
Give rise to the head of
Deprived of the protector
And shield from the weather
My sister, she used goat's blood
To conceal her ravaged body
But, I was gifted with my uncle Freddy's baby
Froze in time
I could hide
Bloated belly, baby inside
Give rise to the villain
Give rise to the head of
Deprived of the protector
And shield from the weather
[x2]
What happened to my life
All this ain't right
I should have taken it myself
With uncle Freddy's knife
Cause the grave is very suiting
For a bloodless daughter bride
Give rise to the villain
Give rise to the head of
Deprived of the protector
And shield from the weather

Poison lyrics - Cocorosie
Voodoo spell
Ocean morgue
Like a whale
Swallows you whole
Dentless
Merciless
Dentless
Merciless dictator
She sleighs the necks of giraffes
Merciless dictator
She sleeps on pillows made of zebra skin
Oh, squakin', talkin' blasted pigeon
Parrot Portuguese
Black icky tongue
And the purple clouds,
Dry, like painted
Desert flowers
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Dry, like painted
Desert flowers
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Watch out for the snakes
(Poison, her tears are poison)
Watch out for the velvet cross
(Her tears are poison)
Watch out for the panthers
(Her tears are)
Leaping from her spit, oh

Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Ocean morgue

Swallows you whole

Desert flowers
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are

Her tears are poison
Her tears are

Devil's Island lyrics - Cocorosie
Who wants to get their head chopped off on Devil's Island?!
Who wants to lie down on the softest bed in the universe and die!?!
Who wants to be a beer and make someone drunk?!
Oh lord
Please tell me
I only have eyes
For you
I only have eyes for you
Oh lord please tell me
You're watching me too
I only have eyes for you
Oh lord please tell me
You're watching me too
Who wants to be a crystal and get found some day?!
Who wants to get their head chopped off on Devil's Island?!
Who wants to lay down on the softest bed in the universe and die?!
This is the end of time
Who wants to lie down on the softest bed in the universe and die!?!
Who wants to be a beer and make someone drunk?!
Oh lord
Please tell me
I only have eyes
For you
I only have eyes for you
Oh lord please tell me
You're watching me too
I only have eyes for you
Oh lord please tell me
You're watching me too
Who wants to be a crystal and get found some day?!
Who wants to get their head chopped off on Devil's Island?!
Who wants to lay down on the softest bed in the universe and die?!
This is the end of time
Trinity's Crying lyrics - Cocorosie
I love you
I cried on your mother's shoulder
Like a broken hearted soldier
She knew and I knew
What all the tears were for
Weary exhausted flames of light
Trinity's crying
Trinity's crying
I cried on your mother's shoulder
Like a broken hearted soldier
She knew and I knew
What all the tears were for
Weary exhausted flames of light
Trinity's crying
Trinity's crying
Smokey Taboo lyrics - Cocorosie
They call her smokey taboo
I got your name tattooed
High like a helium balloon
Midnight to noon
I'm a desert child
And mountains make me nauseous
I like to look up wild at an infinite sky
Twinkling with diamonds
It's true I get depressed in fancy hotel rooms
Undressed with nothing to flaunt but my loneliness
Thinking of the night song of your hair
Premature as evening falls
It calls to me
Interrupted by the sirens in the street
Somedays you're like an anchor on my heart
They say that stolen water tastes sweet
More like rotten milk and rancid meat to me
I prefers when it is free
Like looking at the stars
Don't need no fancy cars
When we first
Our kisses sparked
Yeah I'm afraid of sharks
But not the dark
I got your name tattooed
High like a helium balloon
Midnight to noon
I'm a desert child
And mountains make me nauseous
I like to look up wild at an infinite sky
Twinkling with diamonds
It's true I get depressed in fancy hotel rooms
Undressed with nothing to flaunt but my loneliness
Thinking of the night song of your hair
Premature as evening falls
It calls to me
Interrupted by the sirens in the street
Somedays you're like an anchor on my heart
They say that stolen water tastes sweet
More like rotten milk and rancid meat to me
I prefers when it is free
Like looking at the stars
Don't need no fancy cars
When we first
Our kisses sparked
Yeah I'm afraid of sharks
But not the dark
Hopscotch lyrics - Cocorosie
"I got a hopscotch tear drop ready to drop"
If the sun decides to rise
Without its colors in your eyes
It matters not a heart of mine
Prefers the darkness
A hopscotch tear drop ready to drop
If the sun decides to rise
Without its colors in your eyes
It matters not a heart of mine
Prefers the darkness
A hopscotch tear drop ready to drop
Undertaker lyrics - Cocorosie
u ne la nv i u me tsi

Under what spell the guiding light
Betook the undertaker
Under whose gaze did fall such evil blunder
Characters of flaming eyes
Eager to burn the wooden castle
Eager to wet the paper heart of children birds
The aching starlet
The singing sinew
The whining ghost
Brutal wind of snowy harlot
Chafing mine eyes
A sandpaper kiss
Bloody rosen my cheek
Purple kiss of stardust
Pink balloon of time
Candied on the inside
Baby pit bull butterfly
Do da do da do dah do dah

Under what spell the guiding light
Betook the undertaker
Under whose gaze did fall such evil blunder
Characters of flaming eyes
Eager to burn the wooden castle
Eager to wet the paper heart of children birds
The aching starlet
The singing sinew
The whining ghost
Brutal wind of snowy harlot
Chafing mine eyes
A sandpaper kiss
Bloody rosen my cheek
Purple kiss of stardust
Pink balloon of time
Candied on the inside
Baby pit bull butterfly
Do da do da do dah do dah
Grey Oceans lyrics - Cocorosie
In heaven warm souls flutter
They flutter by with rosaries
Dangling from their necks
German shepherds guide by nightfall
Little kinder
Little kinder dressed in starlight
Inside I feel like
Like I'm crying besides a tree
I'm watching myself like an old TV
I'm watching myself like an old movie on color TV
When people whisper in Portuguese
Its just as mysterious
And the stubble on his face
It hurt me when
When we fell onto each other's faces
Dawn retraces heart ached patterns across grey oceans
Windows brighten up the room
And one could cast a smooth worn lover's stone
Worn smooth from days of fertile deliberation
They flutter by with rosaries
Dangling from their necks
German shepherds guide by nightfall
Little kinder
Little kinder dressed in starlight
Inside I feel like
Like I'm crying besides a tree
I'm watching myself like an old TV
I'm watching myself like an old movie on color TV
When people whisper in Portuguese
Its just as mysterious
And the stubble on his face
It hurt me when
When we fell onto each other's faces
Dawn retraces heart ached patterns across grey oceans
Windows brighten up the room
And one could cast a smooth worn lover's stone
Worn smooth from days of fertile deliberation
R.I.P. Burn Face lyrics - Cocorosie
In her mourning
In her grave
Don't you miss the way
That she brushed her heavy hair
Oh la la la la la
ACID BURNED FACE CLOWNY TEAR SMILE
She's the one who made you wild
She made you question all your answers
Made you beg for her forgiveness
BABY GIRL don't cry
Momma's gonna buy you a glass eye
And it will glimmer like starlight
She's got no reservations
Ain't got no place to be
The graveyard's in the backyard
Where the meadows used to be
Lord knows my destination
Lord hears my inner prayer
Mom'll find me by the river
Sunken with her party balloons
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
Flowers for the ones you loved
Flowers for the lost at sea
The Moon Asked The Crow lyrics - Cocorosie
I caught a glimpse out the window
A Polish graveyard filled with widows
I coddle a bottle of warm beer
I see a pool of liquid tearz
Glimmering so sweet and mellow
A sea of lilting wilting willow
A secret book of forgotten wishes
Drown in ponds with broken dishes
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
Angel brother I miss your hair
Careless nature gentle stare
You fell like rain in the dark abysses
Kissed the lips of bloody twinsis
Sung to you a slew of sirens
Tricky mermaids and evil pirates
You watched the sky
With kaleidoscopic eyes
Howling out right
To the blasphemous night
A wolf in the garden
Why do you linger so
Like a silky snail soul
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
A Polish graveyard filled with widows
I coddle a bottle of warm beer
I see a pool of liquid tearz
Glimmering so sweet and mellow
A sea of lilting wilting willow
A secret book of forgotten wishes
Drown in ponds with broken dishes
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
Angel brother I miss your hair
Careless nature gentle stare
You fell like rain in the dark abysses
Kissed the lips of bloody twinsis
Sung to you a slew of sirens
Tricky mermaids and evil pirates
You watched the sky
With kaleidoscopic eyes
Howling out right
To the blasphemous night
A wolf in the garden
Why do you linger so
Like a silky snail soul
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
Lemonade lyrics - Cocorosie
It was Cinco de Mayo
Pillow case on his head
No more breathing time
An ambulance sped
Sped 'round ever corner
Calling out his name
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
Sat and watched the summer corn grow
Ate ice cream in a desert dream
And got lost in father's singing
Too hot inside
Too hot outside
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
We'll sail on Spirit Lake
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
Tim and Tina were my parents' names
They got engaged
They were inflamed
Seduced by the light of butterflies
How they shimmer, how they glimmer
Those butterflies
We seven kids
We almost died
Nearly put to death
By lightening strikes
Instead there was hot, pink
Flashes in the sky
We climbed the rocks, in snow and rain
In search of magic powers
To heal our mother's pain
Pillow case on his head
No more breathing time
An ambulance sped
Sped 'round ever corner
Calling out his name
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window
Sat and watched the summer corn grow
Ate ice cream in a desert dream
And got lost in father's singing
Too hot inside
Too hot outside
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
We'll sail on Spirit Lake
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
Tim and Tina were my parents' names
They got engaged
They were inflamed
Seduced by the light of butterflies
How they shimmer, how they glimmer
Those butterflies
We seven kids
We almost died
Nearly put to death
By lightening strikes
Instead there was hot, pink
Flashes in the sky
We climbed the rocks, in snow and rain
In search of magic powers
To heal our mother's pain
Gallows lyrics - Cocorosie
It was just before the moon hung
Her weary heavy head in
The gallows and the graves of
The milky milky cradle
His tears have turned to poppies
A shimmer in the midnight
A flower in the twilight
A flower in the twilight
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow
They took him to the gallows
He fought them all the way though
And when they asked us how we knew his name
We died just before him
Our eyes are in the flowers
Our hands are in the branches
Our voices in the breezes
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow tree
We're waiting by the willow
Our milky milky cradle
Our lockets long have rusted
His picture worn and weathered
Our hair is in the garden
Our voices in our toeses
Our heart are in the blossoms
Our eyes are in the branches
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow tree
Her weary heavy head in
The gallows and the graves of
The milky milky cradle
His tears have turned to poppies
A shimmer in the midnight
A flower in the twilight
A flower in the twilight
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow
They took him to the gallows
He fought them all the way though
And when they asked us how we knew his name
We died just before him
Our eyes are in the flowers
Our hands are in the branches
Our voices in the breezes
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow tree
We're waiting by the willow
Our milky milky cradle
Our lockets long have rusted
His picture worn and weathered
Our hair is in the garden
Our voices in our toeses
Our heart are in the blossoms
Our eyes are in the branches
And our screaming
Is in his screaming
Our screaming in the willow tree
Fairy Paradise lyrics - Cocorosie
He draws near the periphery
In disbelief on delivery
Came child from the deep inferno
Crusty head of dead volcano
Heartless crow with brittle beak
Wooden leg too schocked to speak
Lilac dust of a woman's hair
A wooden cross a paper prayer
A stone where her body lay
A stack of feathers a pile of hay
A mushroom for an eye ball
A mustache from the snow fall
Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance
Queens and kings fairies weave wigs with eyelash
Trance music makes the fairies dance
From the caves of snail shells
Echoes the mutter medieval spells
Mystery flows her wicked river
Of thorn and blade and silver sliver
Bending 'round the clover fields
Their sapling stems don't break but yield
Her pain inflicts no arguments
Must learn to sway and un-arrange
As earth she makes her final passage
After humans long have ravaged
Vanished with all maps for motion
Upward angels last devotion
One by one escort us home
To leave the elementals free to roam
To bathe in the last of ocean's foam
To beach comb the nuclear debris
Our plastic toys and our metal trees
On the perfect day you'll find the breeze
Once blew the pollen the feet of bees
Now cry the stars when upon the earth
Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst
A lament be heard through all the cosmos
Of the dying planet with fallen foes
In disbelief on delivery
Came child from the deep inferno
Crusty head of dead volcano
Heartless crow with brittle beak
Wooden leg too schocked to speak
Lilac dust of a woman's hair
A wooden cross a paper prayer
A stone where her body lay
A stack of feathers a pile of hay
A mushroom for an eye ball
A mustache from the snow fall
Worms weave a ring where fairies square dance
Queens and kings fairies weave wigs with eyelash
Trance music makes the fairies dance
From the caves of snail shells
Echoes the mutter medieval spells
Mystery flows her wicked river
Of thorn and blade and silver sliver
Bending 'round the clover fields
Their sapling stems don't break but yield
Her pain inflicts no arguments
Must learn to sway and un-arrange
As earth she makes her final passage
After humans long have ravaged
Vanished with all maps for motion
Upward angels last devotion
One by one escort us home
To leave the elementals free to roam
To bathe in the last of ocean's foam
To beach comb the nuclear debris
Our plastic toys and our metal trees
On the perfect day you'll find the breeze
Once blew the pollen the feet of bees
Now cry the stars when upon the earth
Their gaze might rest a nostalgic burst
A lament be heard through all the cosmos
Of the dying planet with fallen foes
Here I Come lyrics - Cocorosie
The world rose in the night
And prayed
People kissed, kissed and hugged one last time
Saying what have we done for two thousand years
The end it has begun
Should I let my mind run
For a scrap of kettle wood
Blind, woolen cat, bad bat breath beside me
Fuzzy face of pear tree
Ghoulish and cartoony
Surprise me like a monster,
My brother liked to scare me
A rape in the meadow
A fornicating fellow
A flea on the fur of a shaggy old sheep
All tangled up like winter
Bramble branch of brown tree
Cut the very life of
Her blood bank that billows
Up from below her
Skirt and sunlit blouses
Kangaroo mommy
Rapunzel and a tomboy
Fatherless a heart broke
A hankering, a steak knife
A wallowing a child,
A banquet a hollycaust
A pussy wussy willow,
Marshmallow, a mantra,
A temper tantric tantrum
A full steam ahead and
Watch out here I come
And prayed
People kissed, kissed and hugged one last time
Saying what have we done for two thousand years
The end it has begun
Should I let my mind run
For a scrap of kettle wood
Blind, woolen cat, bad bat breath beside me
Fuzzy face of pear tree
Ghoulish and cartoony
Surprise me like a monster,
My brother liked to scare me
A rape in the meadow
A fornicating fellow
A flea on the fur of a shaggy old sheep
All tangled up like winter
Bramble branch of brown tree
Cut the very life of
Her blood bank that billows
Up from below her
Skirt and sunlit blouses
Kangaroo mommy
Rapunzel and a tomboy
Fatherless a heart broke
A hankering, a steak knife
A wallowing a child,
A banquet a hollycaust
A pussy wussy willow,
Marshmallow, a mantra,
A temper tantric tantrum
A full steam ahead and
Watch out here I come
Happy Eyes lyrics - Cocorosie
They call me Wee Willie Winkie
I'm tired and blinky
Eyeless and poor
Promise I don't snore by candle light
I kiss the shimmering cheeks of little children
Having a mother I lost in the street
A skinny jungle child
Wayward and windy
Sinful and pretty
I visit the graves of boys
Dead at war
Shipwreck sailors
Don't ask, don't tell
Sweet fragrance of moon has brought me to your room
Where you waft milky magic from that ancient loom
I only have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
I only I have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
I'm tired and blinky
Eyeless and poor
Promise I don't snore by candle light
I kiss the shimmering cheeks of little children
Having a mother I lost in the street
A skinny jungle child
Wayward and windy
Sinful and pretty
I visit the graves of boys
Dead at war
Shipwreck sailors
Don't ask, don't tell
Sweet fragrance of moon has brought me to your room
Where you waft milky magic from that ancient loom
I only have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
My mother I seek
I long to curl up meek
In the lap of your laughter
You wanted a daughter
I ain't no Jesus
If you give me a dress
I could become your princess
I only I have eyes for you
Oh Lord, please tell me you watch me too
Coconuts lyrics - Cocorosie
Climbing for coconuts
Musical shells
We never shot the smoke signal
We watched Amelia Earhart fly on by
And refused the talking dolphins that offered us a ride
We just beat each other up
And made constant love
You couldn't tell the difference
Best friends or remembrance
We ambushed the doves
And made jewelry out of pearls
I was homecoming queen
Never did get over that, being a whore
Musical shells
We never shot the smoke signal
We watched Amelia Earhart fly on by
And refused the talking dolphins that offered us a ride
We just beat each other up
And made constant love
You couldn't tell the difference
Best friends or remembrance
We ambushed the doves
And made jewelry out of pearls
I was homecoming queen
Never did get over that, being a whore
Milkman lyrics - Cocorosie
My brother
My only kin
I'm lost in tears in the mirror again
Lord knows I have no conscience
Put a doubt into my mind
Where your voice, it still remains
Lord knows I still need you
But you're far away
Lost in some playground
In Disneyland
Take me with you
We'll play to the end
Then fall off
the face of the earth
My brother
My long lost friend
We cut our hands to have more skin
All I found
Once I left this land
Is the desolation
Of humankind
Follow me will you wind this tape again
I'll be looking for you
Around the next bend
My only kin
I'm lost in tears in the mirror again
Lord knows I have no conscience
Put a doubt into my mind
Where your voice, it still remains
Lord knows I still need you
But you're far away
Lost in some playground
In Disneyland
Take me with you
We'll play to the end
Then fall off
the face of the earth
My brother
My long lost friend
We cut our hands to have more skin
All I found
Once I left this land
Is the desolation
Of humankind
Follow me will you wind this tape again
I'll be looking for you
Around the next bend
Joseph City lyrics - Cocorosie
cRed, green, blue, yellow
Red, green, blue, yellow
Joseph City, you look mighty pretty
When your hills are red and rosy
Your streams all dry and sandy
City lady
Make me a further fan
In your old casino
Resting heavy (on the land)
Ravens calling
My baby is cold
Back from the East
He is not deceased
Just a little empty
There's nothing in the ark
Let's get out of this house
It smells like rats
Found a quarter in the open couch
Now it amounts to 60 cents
Let's take a walk to the candy shop
Down the road, it's way too hot
Red, green, blue, yellow
Red, green, blue, yellow
Joseph City, you look mighty pretty
When your hills are red and rosy
Your streams all dry and sandy
City lady
Make me a further fan
In your old casino
Resting heavy (on the land)
Ravens calling
My baby is cold
Back from the East
He is not deceased
Just a little empty
There's nothing in the ark
Let's get out of this house
It smells like rats
Found a quarter in the open couch
Now it amounts to 60 cents
Let's take a walk to the candy shop
Down the road, it's way too hot
Red, green, blue, yellow
Spirit Lake lyrics - Cocorosie
Sail away to Spirit Lake
Hurricane dream, waking windy
When you touched me in my blanky
Started screaming, "I'm still dreaming
Of my mama come and take me!"
Board me, I'll remember thee
With starry eyes and rosy cheeks
Lots of gold between the teeth
Stonewashed jeans and bloody knees
Chicken and fox in the tall, tall grass
Better run fast or they'll get your ass
Sleepy uncle angers you
By your skinny white ankles
The normal kids throw sticks at me
We eat popcorn and watch TV
Their mom smokes cigarettes
Wears short shorts, sportin' nicorette
Voice high-pitched and unspirit-like
Sail away to Spirit Lake
Hurricane dream, waking windy
When you touched me in my blanky
Started screaming, "I'm still dreaming
Of my mama come and take me!"
Board me, I'll remember thee
With starry eyes and rosy cheeks
Lots of gold between the teeth
Stonewashed jeans and bloody knees
Chicken and fox in the tall, tall grass
Better run fast or they'll get your ass
Sleepy uncle angers you
By your skinny white ankles
The normal kids throw sticks at me
We eat popcorn and watch TV
Their mom smokes cigarettes
Wears short shorts, sportin' nicorette
Voice high-pitched and unspirit-like
Sail away to Spirit Lake
Rainbowarriors lyrics - Cocorosie
Of all the white horses
In these times of evil spirits
Of material thugs and mischief
Fearing Saint Noni's wisdom
And his love for rainbow spirits
Jealous of their faithful heart-bond
And their dancing and their laughing
Made at last a league against them
To molest them and destroy them
Saint Noni wise and heart-strong
Often said to Rainbowarrior
"O my brother, do not leave me!
Lest the evil spirits harm you!"
Rainbowarrior of two spirits
Gentle hand and lion-hearted
He laughed and then he answered
Like a child he softly whispered:
We are Rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
He's dead, our sweetest mother
Loving father and our teacher
He's gone forever
He has moved a little nearer
To the master of all laughter
To the master of all song
O my brother, O my brother
Crystal brother of two spirits
Then we gathered in a circle
Stood round the rainbow fire
Burning ember's hearts united
We remember mystical beauty
If you look hard you can find a
Rainbow trail it's deep inside ya
Fear not you're a Rainbowarrior
Golden light on everything gleaming
We are Rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
In these times of evil spirits
Of material thugs and mischief
Fearing Saint Noni's wisdom
And his love for rainbow spirits
Jealous of their faithful heart-bond
And their dancing and their laughing
Made at last a league against them
To molest them and destroy them
Saint Noni wise and heart-strong
Often said to Rainbowarrior
"O my brother, do not leave me!
Lest the evil spirits harm you!"
Rainbowarrior of two spirits
Gentle hand and lion-hearted
He laughed and then he answered
Like a child he softly whispered:

Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
He's dead, our sweetest mother
Loving father and our teacher

To the master of all song
O my brother, O my brother
Crystal brother of two spirits

Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
Promise lyrics - Cocorosie
Open-hearted as a heart can be
'Cause we're all a ruin like broken leaves
I give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees
Stitched together like pants and sleeves
I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she
Danced to dust and dusk and
Strung along the highway
I found my way, belligerent
Following the stars of your eyes
Promise me you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
And if you take me inside
And you give me a place to hide and cry
I'll bathe you in the crystal light
That sleeps between my thighs
At times you fear the angel's sigh
To the lord and heavens that this ain't right
But in this chalice you'll find the wine
Our hands hold bonfires burning bright
And the heart is dumb and the heart is blind
But I think you'll find that the lord is kind
And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Promise me you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Sprung from me when first we kissed
You held me quietly, a rush purged me of my past
Opened a desert of diamonds vast, glinting
And a tiny chorus of swallows
Swung open the door freed the caged bees and wallows swarm
Geometric patterns on the sun
Eclipse, new moon
Tempt my werewolf not to run
Tempt my werewolf not to run
'Cause we're all a ruin like broken leaves
I give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees
Stitched together like pants and sleeves
I carry this carapace worn thin by he and she
Danced to dust and dusk and
Strung along the highway
I found my way, belligerent
Following the stars of your eyes
Promise me you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
And if you take me inside
And you give me a place to hide and cry
I'll bathe you in the crystal light
That sleeps between my thighs
At times you fear the angel's sigh
To the lord and heavens that this ain't right
But in this chalice you'll find the wine
Our hands hold bonfires burning bright
And the heart is dumb and the heart is blind
But I think you'll find that the lord is kind
And I pray you'll cherish this tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Promise me you'll cherish
This tarnished offering
Burnt silver brushed lavender offspring
Sprung from me when first we kissed
You held me quietly, a rush purged me of my past
Opened a desert of diamonds vast, glinting
And a tiny chorus of swallows
Swung open the door freed the caged bees and wallows swarm
Geometric patterns on the sun
Eclipse, new moon
Tempt my werewolf not to run
Tempt my werewolf not to run
Bloody Twins lyrics - Cocorosie
I give you my hand
Brown from summer
And you give me a kiss
Like a tiny floret
Which sparks in a blink
A firework of roses
And the night
Floods in
Brown from summer
And you give me a kiss
Like a tiny floret
Which sparks in a blink
A firework of roses
And the night
Floods in
Japan lyrics - Cocorosie
Life is like a rollercoaster
It does flips and throws you over
Board your ship that's going nowhere
If you stop, you'll end up somewhere
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands
Now everybody wants to go to Californ-i-a
To live their life on a sunny day
Dreaming of someone else's wife and kids (kids and wife)
But they'll be bringing you the same old shit (strife)
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everyone wants to go to Jamaica
Queens in drag will surely fake ya
Take you home, and then they'll rape you
But you like it, so say "Thank you"
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everybody wants to go to Iraq
But once they go, they don't come back
Bringing peanut butter jelly and other snacks
We might have our freedom, but we're still on crack.
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands...
It does flips and throws you over
Board your ship that's going nowhere
If you stop, you'll end up somewhere
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands
Now everybody wants to go to Californ-i-a
To live their life on a sunny day
Dreaming of someone else's wife and kids (kids and wife)
But they'll be bringing you the same old shit (strife)
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everyone wants to go to Jamaica
Queens in drag will surely fake ya
Take you home, and then they'll rape you
But you like it, so say "Thank you"
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody, just hold hands.
Everybody wants to go to Iraq
But once they go, they don't come back
Bringing peanut butter jelly and other snacks
We might have our freedom, but we're still on crack.
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody wants to go to Japan
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands.
Everybody just hold hands...
Sunshine lyrics - Cocorosie
To all the boys and the girls outside
You know I didn't cry
But you saw me anyway
In the back of the creek one day
And if you're trying to get a ride
On a roller skate or a bike
Just ask and I'll take you round
The block and back this way again
To all the boys and the girls outside
Why don't you come and fly with me
I'll show you why I ran away
The other day from my mom and dad
All the boys and the girls outside
I know you've got crazy things inside
And that's why I've got to show you
How I do the things I do best
I like to roller skate on bike
And that's why I've got crazy style
I go so fast around the block
And as I do I sing this song to you
Sunshine Oh sunshine
If you don't know why you shine
You've got to go into the sun
You'll got to go inside
You know I didn't cry
But you saw me anyway
In the back of the creek one day
And if you're trying to get a ride
On a roller skate or a bike
Just ask and I'll take you round
The block and back this way again
To all the boys and the girls outside
Why don't you come and fly with me
I'll show you why I ran away
The other day from my mom and dad
All the boys and the girls outside
I know you've got crazy things inside
And that's why I've got to show you
How I do the things I do best
I like to roller skate on bike
And that's why I've got crazy style
I go so fast around the block
And as I do I sing this song to you
Sunshine Oh sunshine
If you don't know why you shine
You've got to go into the sun
You'll got to go inside
Black Poppies lyrics - Cocorosie
Black poppy sleeps or dreamless night
In summer shade of moony light
Hazy veils of clouds loom low
Like warm kittens close to the earth
Underground bodies stir with no sound
No one to hear them under the ground
Ghost horse and stillborns turn in their cradles
Silvery meadow murmurs the song of
Tiny glow worm glowing
Rain starts her shimmery decent
Into the old leathery sking the farm
In summer shade of moony light
Hazy veils of clouds loom low
Like warm kittens close to the earth
Underground bodies stir with no sound
No one to hear them under the ground
Ghost horse and stillborns turn in their cradles
Silvery meadow murmurs the song of
Tiny glow worm glowing
Rain starts her shimmery decent
Into the old leathery sking the farm
Werewolf lyrics - Cocorosie
In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight
Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip, yeah I suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
Flowers in the water, but I'm just his daughter
Walking down an icy grave leading to my
Schizophrenic father. Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
Searching for my father's power
I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse
He's a black magic wielder some say a witch
Wielded darkness when he was violent, my eyes my arms
And and I'm her child and he was the bastard that broke
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate
In the night fireworks electric bright
And now he's got his own two sons
Tries to hide his tears in a world of fun
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
Bring silent heartache July to June
Swoon over new young heart flame
Mourn the memories later
Laugh now alligator
In a dream my father came to me
And made me swear that I'd keep
What's sacred to me
And if I get the choice to live in his name
I'll pray my way through the rain
Singing oh happy day
I don't mean to close the door
But for the record my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul
You left me broke down begging for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged
He had your hands and my father's face
Another western vampire
Different time same place
I has dreams that brings me sadness
Rain much deeper than a river
Sorrow flow through me
Tiny waves of shivers
Corny movies make me reminisce
They break me down easy on this generic love ship
First kiss frog and princess
I'm a shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fight
Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip, yeah I suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh

Animals lyrics - Cocorosie
Now that I'm alone I feel the lonely brokenness
Of all the wicked avenues I've ever sold my love on.
All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided
in the outright abandon of this orphan child.
Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace
I guess I'm waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse.
And to wake up half empty,
Only to be filled again with mourning.
He's my evil shadow dove,
My black Palamito.
Can't break him like a diamond skull
I can't seem to do so.
Can't just rub him out like the
Mob used to do so.
Like memories of porno & teastains & tobacco O'h
it's a mini disastro
Bigger than the ice age
Don't know if baby dinosaurs
Maybe could live through it,
or Indians and butterflies;
What's crushed is my spirit.
Oh I fear it is too fragile
Like fall-leaves burn like paper.
I always knew,
I would spend a lot of time alone.
No one would understand me.
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals?
Spend all my time,
amongst the animals.
And on the tracks
I would go
they lead to the sea
to be amongst the animals.
Oh, I'm just a fall-leaf something simple and shy like that.
That's how my heart lies down beside the sidewalk.
Like an empty restaurant filled with perfume and balloons,
I sit and entertain the bizarre ghosts of my soul. Lord..
His name still lingers, maybe lactates on my tongue.
Perhaps I'm just teething for a foreign fallen destiny;
Miserable but mine.
I look like his mother or Sophia Loren in an
old fashioned movie,
Slow motion I cling to my child,
Desperate for love.
One day soon my brother died, made me remember all the
subordinate feelings I cast aside, and
maybe I had lied when I said I was ok.
Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say,
"Wild willow, windy winter
won't you blow through me?
My whole eternity."
I always knew,
I would spend a lot of time alone.
No one would understand me.
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals?
Spend all my time,
amongst the animals.
And on the tracks
I would go
they lead to the sea
to be amongst the animals.
Of all the wicked avenues I've ever sold my love on.
All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided
in the outright abandon of this orphan child.
Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace
I guess I'm waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse.

subordinate feelings I cast aside, and
maybe I had lied when I said I was ok.
Just getting along like a little song that stops to sing and say,
"Wild willow, windy winter
won't you blow through me?
My whole eternity."
I always knew,
I would spend a lot of time alone.
No one would understand me.
Maybe I should go and live amongst the animals?
Spend all my time,
amongst the animals.
And on the tracks
I would go
they lead to the sea
to be amongst the animals.
Houses lyrics - Cocorosie
Ask me about my mother
And I'll tell you that I love her
'Cause she feeds me all kinds of foods, la la la
She feeds me all kinds of foods
Don't you love your baby
Tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me truth
And all the food you ate
Enough to fill your plate
Big houses burn
Big houses burn down
Big houses burn
Big houses burn down
Big houses burn
Big houses burn down
Big houses burn
Big houses burn down
Big houses burn
Big houses burn down
Don't burn down mine
Raphael lyrics - Cocorosie
Deep inside my heart and it's splintered at it's core,
Molden curdle of milken puddle.
Dreams of warm breasts settling in my mouth,
Be my spouse, make a babe and a house
Apple tree, drunken brawl domestically
Dirty dog dusty-pawed bloody nose rose-embroidered sheets
Dangle like women in the breeze
on a line above the yard.
And in my heart a flower dies slow
like a campfire covered in piss, my love
like snow falls,
My love like a snow fall.
Raphael you know just how
To take me in the swimming pool
Like a child being baptized.
Beneath the starry sky we lie
Drowning in your watery thighs,
Luscious eyes; you're a teenage player.
In my heart an island sinks slow
Tears fall in the kitchen sink, O'h
Don't speak I can hear you..
Don't speak I can hear you.
Molden curdle of milken puddle.
Dreams of warm breasts settling in my mouth,
Be my spouse, make a babe and a house
Apple tree, drunken brawl domestically
Dirty dog dusty-pawed bloody nose rose-embroidered sheets
Dangle like women in the breeze
on a line above the yard.
And in my heart a flower dies slow
like a campfire covered in piss, my love
like snow falls,
My love like a snow fall.
Raphael you know just how
To take me in the swimming pool
Like a child being baptized.
Beneath the starry sky we lie
Drowning in your watery thighs,
Luscious eyes; you're a teenage player.
In my heart an island sinks slow
Tears fall in the kitchen sink, O'h
Don't speak I can hear you..
Don't speak I can hear you.
Girl And The Geese lyrics - Cocorosie
There was a girl who talked to geese
She understood them, and they her
One day she looked to a crystal stream
and saw in its bed a diamond
she picked it up and placed it in her hair
she did so
as she did so, she turned into a geese
it was then revealed that the other geese,
she magically had understood,
were once human like her
She understood them, and they her
One day she looked to a crystal stream
and saw in its bed a diamond
she picked it up and placed it in her hair
she did so
as she did so, she turned into a geese
it was then revealed that the other geese,
she magically had understood,
were once human like her
Miracle lyrics - Cocorosie
I met a boy, he wore a seatbelt
He kissed my cheek in the back seat
We played basketball and his girl cousins
Played too in Germaine
I'll be your girl
I'll be your boy
But Victor he was my first man
He didn't have any money
So I paid for his movie
Viva lost childhood
Be my boy forever
And I'll be your girl
I'll be your girl
I'll be your boy
He kissed my cheek in the back seat
We played basketball and his girl cousins
Played too in Germaine
I'll be your girl
I'll be your boy
But Victor he was my first man
He didn't have any money
So I paid for his movie
Viva lost childhood
Be my boy forever
And I'll be your girl
I'll be your girl
I'll be your boy
K-Hole lyrics - Cocorosie
Tiny spirits in a k-hole
Bloated like soggy cereal
God will come and wash away
Our tattoos and all the cocaine
And all of the aborted babies
Will turn into little bambies
Wounded river push along
Searching for that desert song
And Mozart's requiem will play
On tiny speakers made of clay
Tell my mother that I love her
Martin Luther, you're an angel
Charming monkey, saunter swagger
Drunken donkey, limbs disjointed
Your chest is a petting zoo
Mexican pony, fucked up shoes
I dreamt one thousand basketball courts
Nothing holier than sports
Dragonfly, kiss your tail
Precious robot, built so frail
Universe of milk and ember
Your hot kiss in mid-December
What's God's name? I can't remember
Through the crack eye lovely weather
Through the crack eye lovely weather
Bloated like soggy cereal
God will come and wash away
Our tattoos and all the cocaine
And all of the aborted babies
Will turn into little bambies
Wounded river push along
Searching for that desert song
And Mozart's requiem will play
On tiny speakers made of clay
Tell my mother that I love her
Martin Luther, you're an angel
Charming monkey, saunter swagger
Drunken donkey, limbs disjointed
Your chest is a petting zoo
Mexican pony, fucked up shoes
I dreamt one thousand basketball courts
Nothing holier than sports
Dragonfly, kiss your tail
Precious robot, built so frail
Universe of milk and ember
Your hot kiss in mid-December
What's God's name? I can't remember
Through the crack eye lovely weather
Through the crack eye lovely weather
Beautiful Boyz lyrics - Cocorosie
No more of those beautiful boys
No more of those beautiful boys
Born illegitimately to a whore most likely
He became an orphan
Oh, what a lovely orphan
He was sent to the reformatory
Ten years old, it was his first glory
Got caught stealing from a nun
Now his love story had begun
Thirty years he spent wandering
A devil's child with dove wings
Oh, he went to prison
In every country he set foot in
Oh, how he loved - he loved prison
How awfully lovely was prison
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
His greatest love was executed
The pure romance was undisputed
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys
All those beautiful boys
No more of those beautiful boys
No more of those beautiful boys
No more of those beautiful boys
Born illegitimately to a whore most likely
He became an orphan
Oh, what a lovely orphan
He was sent to the reformatory
Ten years old, it was his first glory
Got caught stealing from a nun
Now his love story had begun
Thirty years he spent wandering
A devil's child with dove wings
Oh, he went to prison
In every country he set foot in
Oh, how he loved - he loved prison
How awfully lovely was prison
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
His greatest love was executed
The pure romance was undisputed
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
All those beautiful boys
Pimps and queens and criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys
All those beautiful boys
No more of those beautiful boys
No more of those beautiful boys
South 2nd lyrics - Cocorosie
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
We don't need no baseball bats
We don't need no silver ghats
But we're gonna fight tonight
Put up your dukes and fight
Big brother's just standing on the side
Watching you flex your pride
But you know if they all jump in
Big brother's got your skin
The ice cream truck it sings no more
All the kids from school are keeping score
You swing and you duck and you hit the floor
But you gotta get up at least once more
Mama comes screaming down the stairs
Everybody looks but nobody scares
Mama can't believe that nobody care
It's her baby boy how do they dare
Mama says bitch come over here
If you're so tough you'll have no fear
But why's you bring your friends
And the whole damn school
To watch my baby boy go down like a fool
But brother says mama they're the same damn size
Got to let him grow up and get street wise
But mama says baby go get that bat
And come back down and beat some ass
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
One wrong move and it'll be too late
Mama won't be making no birthday cake
It all went down one afternoon
In Brooklyn
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
We don't need no baseball bats
We don't need no silver ghats
But we're gonna fight tonight
Put up your dukes and fight
Big brother's just standing on the side
Watching you flex your pride
But you know if they all jump in
Big brother's got your skin
The ice cream truck it sings no more
All the kids from school are keeping score
You swing and you duck and you hit the floor
But you gotta get up at least once more
Mama comes screaming down the stairs
Everybody looks but nobody scares
Mama can't believe that nobody care
It's her baby boy how do they dare
Mama says bitch come over here
If you're so tough you'll have no fear
But why's you bring your friends
And the whole damn school
To watch my baby boy go down like a fool
But brother says mama they're the same damn size
Got to let him grow up and get street wise
But mama says baby go get that bat
And come back down and beat some ass
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
Somebody's baby boy ain't coming home tonight
One wrong move and it'll be too late
Mama won't be making no birthday cake
It all went down one afternoon
In Brooklyn
Bear Hides And Buffalo lyrics - Cocorosie
Lead canoes collide inside
Pocahontas came to me in a reverie
War paint and tobacco stains
Piss on the earth
A pile of dead men
A pile of dead, dead men
Bear hides and buffalo
Mildew with fever
In a time of wintryness
Naked bronze trembling queen
Stolen from Egypt
Buried in England
Island of the blue dolphin
Pocahontas came to me in a reverie
War paint and tobacco stains
Piss on the earth
A pile of dead men
A pile of dead, dead men
Bear hides and buffalo
Mildew with fever
In a time of wintryness
Naked bronze trembling queen
Stolen from Egypt
Buried in England
Island of the blue dolphin
Tekno Love Song lyrics - Cocorosie
I fell in love with a bad bad man
And ever since I met him I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
A criminal in your prayer
I watch you when you sleep
Even when you're not there
Rainbows wept color all over the street
When you went away, maybe one day we'll meet
Lipstick I'd wear for one million years
Just to stop your eyes from falling them tears
I fell in love with a bad bad man
And every since I met him I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
I'm a criminal in your prayer
I watch you in your sleep
Even when you're not there
Rainbows wept color all over the street
When you went away, maybe one day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day
Yes, maybe we
Will meet
And ever since I met him I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
A criminal in your prayer
I watch you when you sleep
Even when you're not there
Rainbows wept color all over the street
When you went away, maybe one day we'll meet
Lipstick I'd wear for one million years
Just to stop your eyes from falling them tears
I fell in love with a bad bad man
And every since I met him I've been sad sad sad
I'm a jailbird to your music
I'm a criminal in your prayer
I watch you in your sleep
Even when you're not there
Rainbows wept color all over the street
When you went away, maybe one day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day we'll meet
One day
Yes, maybe we
Will meet
The Sea Is Calm lyrics - Cocorosie
C'est l'histoire d'un homme
Au coeur de bois
La mer est calme
Sous l'écran de la caméra
Comme une ampoule electrique grillée
Dans un seau d'eau
The sea is calm through the video camera
Like a dead light bulb
In a bucket of water
Yes, in a bucket of water
The sea is calm through hand made lenses
Like animals in a soundless dream
Like animals in bottles of butter
A miniature sailboat, tin foil and paper
The waves are big and there's a warm wind
Il est sous le feu des projecteurs
D'un soleil cassé
Il a jetté son corps comme une ancre
Comme un morceau de sucre
Et s'est dissout
He's in the spotlight of a broken sun
He dropped his body like an anchor
Like a lump of sugar
And he dissolved
On the anniversary of his death
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
Pour l'anniversaire de sa mort...
Au coeur de bois
La mer est calme
Sous l'écran de la caméra
Comme une ampoule electrique grillée
Dans un seau d'eau
The sea is calm through the video camera
Like a dead light bulb
In a bucket of water
Yes, in a bucket of water
The sea is calm through hand made lenses
Like animals in a soundless dream
Like animals in bottles of butter
A miniature sailboat, tin foil and paper
The waves are big and there's a warm wind
Il est sous le feu des projecteurs
D'un soleil cassé
Il a jetté son corps comme une ancre
Comme un morceau de sucre
Et s'est dissout
He's in the spotlight of a broken sun
He dropped his body like an anchor
Like a lump of sugar
And he dissolved
On the anniversary of his death
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
She drew a beautiful picture of a whale
Pour l'anniversaire de sa mort...

Milk lyrics - Cocorosie
I want to give you my milk
I want to give you my milk
Yes I want to give you my milk
I want to give you my milk
Yes I want to give you my milk
Armageddon lyrics - Cocorosie
And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds
Let's all gather at Time Square
And lets all say a prayer
To Walter Disney and Mike Tyson
At Madison Square Garden
And the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds
And Jesus said they're a girl's best friend
And hell they'll last forever
And Jesus said now take her hand
And raise this harlot's bastard sun
And the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds
And afterwards we'll all go to hell
When the money's all spent
When the money's all gone
There'll be a place for us in Heaven's gate
Waiting for us on lay away
And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What I should do with my life
How I should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and get me a wife
Have the diamonds cut
Have the diamonds
And oh what a pity the world's not white
And oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be all white
And oh what a pity the world's not white
And oh what a shame I don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If I made the world it would be all white
Bisounours lyrics - Cocorosie
(Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille...)
Il fut un temps où rien n'était éteint
Où seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j'étais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence
Dans ce décor je me sens perdu, rien n'a plus de sens.
Mais j'ai encore quelques rêves et si tant est que j'aie le temps
J'irai caresser leurs lèvres... j'ai encore quelques rêves
Et si tant est que j'aie le temps j'irai caresser leurs lèvres.
Il fut un temps où rien n'était éteint
Où seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j'étais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence
Dans ce décor je me sens perdu, car rien n'a plus de sens.
Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille
Je me sens de taille
Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille
Je me sens de taille
Si le temps avance trop
Je me sens de taille
(Je suis un enfant
Je refuse le temps)
Je regarde le ciel et cet arc-en-ciel qui m'apaise
Je regarde la lumière et puis j'erre dans mes rêves
Oublier le temps
Rester un enfant.
Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille
Il nous entaille...)
Il fut un temps où rien n'était éteint
Où seul l'or de mon coeur donnait l'heure
Et alors j'étais fort, mais j'ai perdu la fleur et l'innocence

Honey Or Tar lyrics - Cocorosie
I undressed you with my eyes I have
Maybe even raped you
In a dark and eerie corner of my mind
I tucked you there
And touched you in a dream last night
Pushed you aside when you entered
My thoughts at the wrong time
I have sat up upon your lap and
Saddled my thighs around your hips like ropes
I rode you on a chair and in the shower
And all the while I clung heavy to your back
My desire deeply harnessed in your spine
While I squeezed you like a tree trunk
You may have been one
Sexless and comfort in your mind
Even barer than a child's
I'm riding recklessly through a thick and humid
Jungle growing anxious with the deep and primal
Yearning that stirs
Deeply pulsing up toward the surface
Like sap rising or honey or tar
Terrible Angels lyrics - Cocorosie
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
You say you'll provide the birdbath
If I provide the skin
And bathing in the moonlight
I'm to tremble like a kitten
If blue eyed babes raised as Hitler's little brides and sons
They got angelic tendencies
Like some boys tend to act like queens
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you watch her sleep?
Love to hear her sing and wear purple eyes like rings
And the flowers have no scent
And the child's been miscarried
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
You say you'll provide the birdbath
If I provide the skin
And bathing in the moonlight
I'm to tremble like a kitten
Oh, every angel's terrible
Said Freud and Rilke all the same
Rimbaud never paid them no mind
But Jimmy Morrison had his elevators
His elevators, he had his elevator angels
If every angel's terrible
Why do you hide inside her?
Like a child in a skirt
The supermarket's loud and bright
Boy, don't she feel warm tonight
Boy, don't she feel warm tonight
Boy, don't she feel warm tonight
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Why do you welcome them?
You say you'll provide the birdbath
If I provide the skin
She sounded like an angel when she cried
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
You say you'll provide the birdbath
If I provide the skin
And bathing in the moonlight
I'm to tremble like a kitten
If blue eyed babes raised as Hitler's little brides and sons
They got angelic tendencies
Like some boys tend to act like queens
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you watch her sleep?
Love to hear her sing and wear purple eyes like rings
And the flowers have no scent
And the child's been miscarried
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
You say you'll provide the birdbath
If I provide the skin
And bathing in the moonlight
I'm to tremble like a kitten
Oh, every angel's terrible

If every angel's terrible

Boy, don't she feel warm tonight
Boy, don't she feel warm tonight
Boy, don't she feel warm tonight
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Then why do you welcome them?
If every angel's terrible
Why do you welcome them?
You say you'll provide the birdbath
If I provide the skin
She sounded like an angel when she cried
By Your Side lyrics - Cocorosie
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I just wanted to be your housewife
All I wanted was to be your housewife
I'll iron your clothes
I'll shine your shoes
I'll make your bed
And cook your food
I'll never cheat
I'll be the best girl you'd ever meet
And for a diamond ring
I'll do these kinds of things
I'll scrub your floor
Never be a bore
I'll tuck you in
I do not snore
I'd wear your black eyes
Bake you apple pies
I don't ask whys
And I'd try not to cries
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
And it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to be a housewife
Is to be a housewife
'Cause it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to die a housewife
Is to die a housewife
And it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to be a housewife
Is to be a housewife
'Cause it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to die a housewife
Is to die a housewife
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I just wanted to be your housewife
All I wanted was to be your housewife
I'll iron your clothes
I'll shine your shoes
I'll make your bed
And cook your food
I'll never cheat
I'll be the best girl you'd ever meet
And for a diamond ring
I'll do these kinds of things
I'll scrub your floor
Never be a bore
I'll tuck you in
I do not snore
I'd wear your black eyes
Bake you apple pies
I don't ask whys
And I'd try not to cries
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
I'll always be by your side
Even when you're down and out
And it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to be a housewife
Is to be a housewife
'Cause it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to die a housewife
Is to die a housewife
And it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to be a housewife
Is to be a housewife
'Cause it's nearly midnight
And all I want with my life
Is to die a housewife
Is to die a housewife
Jesus Loves Me lyrics - Cocorosie
Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that's for sure
'Cause the Bible tell me so
Read your Bible good and well
Don't forget about that apple spell
Don't fall in the wishing well
Wishing for heaven and gettin' hell
Wash behind your ears, don't smell
Cover them freckles
Don't ask, don't tell
Kiss your papa, but not too long
Hold his hand
Don't do no wrong
Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that's for sure
'Cause the Bible tells me so
Hush, don't cry, dry them tears
Time'll wash away all them years
Scar or a bruise, pick and choose
When you're all grown up
You'll have the blues
Life'll give you that wedding ring
Fancy cars and diamond things
You best believe in Jesus' way
And never fall asleep forgetting to pray
Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that's for sure
'Cause the Bible tells me so
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that's for sure
'Cause the Bible tell me so
Read your Bible good and well
Don't forget about that apple spell
Don't fall in the wishing well
Wishing for heaven and gettin' hell
Wash behind your ears, don't smell
Cover them freckles
Don't ask, don't tell
Kiss your papa, but not too long
Hold his hand
Don't do no wrong
Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that's for sure
'Cause the Bible tells me so
Hush, don't cry, dry them tears
Time'll wash away all them years
Scar or a bruise, pick and choose
When you're all grown up
You'll have the blues
Life'll give you that wedding ring
Fancy cars and diamond things
You best believe in Jesus' way
And never fall asleep forgetting to pray
Jesus loves me but not my wife
Not my nigger friends or their nigger lives
But Jesus loves me, that's for sure
'Cause the Bible tells me so
Good Friday lyrics - Cocorosie
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
It was a good friday
The streets were open and empty
No more passion play
On St. Nicholas avenue
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
It was a good friday
It was a good friday
The streets were
Open and empty
No more passion play
On St. Nicholas avenue
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
It was a good friday
The streets were open and empty
No more passion play
On St. Nicholas avenue
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
I believe in St. Nicholas
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
I once fell in love with you
Just because the sky
Turned from grey
Into blue
It was a good friday
It was a good friday
The streets were
Open and empty
No more passion play
On St. Nicholas avenue
I believe in St. Nicholas
It's a different type of Santa Claus
Not For Sale lyrics - Cocorosie
Oh, you can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
You can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
Oh, you can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
You can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
You can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
Oh, you can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
You can leave me
On the corner
Where you found me
I'm not for sale anymore
Tahiti Rain Song lyrics - Cocorosie
Oh sailor
Oh sail me
Silver mast do impale me
Oh windless
Oh windy
Remind me
Rewind me
Oh laughter
Oh laughless
Just sing this
Just mean this
Infinity whispered to me
A mumble so dreamy
A soft sound so creamy
So dreamy
Dreamy
Infinity whispered to me
A mumble so dreamy
A soft sound so creamy
So dreamy
So dreamy
So dreamy
Oh sail me
Silver mast do impale me
Oh windless
Oh windy
Remind me
Rewind me
Oh laughter
Oh laughless
Just sing this
Just mean this
Infinity whispered to me
A mumble so dreamy
A soft sound so creamy
So dreamy
Dreamy
Infinity whispered to me
A mumble so dreamy
A soft sound so creamy
So dreamy
So dreamy
So dreamy
Butterscotch lyrics - Cocorosie
Black widow and white wood
The darkness of a forest eerily returns
To stagger drunk like mud
Taking swings at your woman
Run!
Why does butterscotch taste so good?
And we can't have any
But we must, we should
Why does sugar cane taste so good?
Even though sugar can only do ya harm
You remind me of baseball
Tow trucks and the movies
Look sweet as to deliver me milk
Almost frozen on those wintry mornings
Don't slip, Mr. Mailman
Watch out for my dog!
Why does kissin' you feel so good?
Even though it ain't allowed
I know it sure damn should
Why does holdin' hands feel so right?
Got a bruise on my pinky ring from holdin' too tight
Black diamonds swoon the corner
Make it sparkle
It's all for sale
Pushin' snow on the summer kids
Lewd remarks lowering
Lick the lips, mischievous
Lick the lips, mischievous
Skittles are the rainbow
And every color's popular
Though red gets the most invitations
To the junior high celebrations
And I'll go alone, I don't care
'Cause rainbow's not my favorite color
I'll go alone, I don't care
It's not my favorite color
Why does butterscotch taste so good?
And we can't have any
But we must, we should
And why does sugar cane taste so good?
Even though sugar can only do ya harm
I'll go alone, I don't care
It's not my favorite color
Black widow and white wood
The darkness of a forest eerily returns
To stagger drunk like mud
Taking swings at your woman
Run!
Why does butterscotch taste so good?
And we can't have any
But we must, we should
Why does sugar cane taste so good?
Even though sugar can only do ya harm
You remind me of baseball
Tow trucks and the movies
Look sweet as to deliver me milk
Almost frozen on those wintry mornings
Don't slip, Mr. Mailman
Watch out for my dog!
Why does kissin' you feel so good?
Even though it ain't allowed
I know it sure damn should
Why does holdin' hands feel so right?
Got a bruise on my pinky ring from holdin' too tight
Black diamonds swoon the corner
Make it sparkle
It's all for sale
Pushin' snow on the summer kids
Lewd remarks lowering
Lick the lips, mischievous
Lick the lips, mischievous
Skittles are the rainbow
And every color's popular
Though red gets the most invitations
To the junior high celebrations
And I'll go alone, I don't care
'Cause rainbow's not my favorite color
I'll go alone, I don't care
It's not my favorite color
Why does butterscotch taste so good?
And we can't have any
But we must, we should
And why does sugar cane taste so good?
Even though sugar can only do ya harm
I'll go alone, I don't care
It's not my favorite color
Black widow and white wood
West Side lyrics - Cocorosie
I'll wait for you until the streets become sand
And all the ceilings in New York have come down
I'll wait for you until the stars dominate the skies again
I'll wait for you until the streets become sand
And all the ceilings in New York have come down
I'll wait for you until the stars dominate the skies again
And all the ceilings in New York have come down
I'll wait for you until the stars dominate the skies again
I'll wait for you until the streets become sand
And all the ceilings in New York have come down
I'll wait for you until the stars dominate the skies again
Madonna lyrics - Cocorosie
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Oh, Miss Madonna, won't you please give me a kiss?
Give me one of those soft sweet lagrimas
'Cause I felt your pain
When your - your baby was slain
I tossed some roses to perfume his grave
Oh, Miss Madonna, won't you let me underneath your halo?
'Cause it's raining hard
Raining hard in this abyss
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Oh, Miss Madonna, where you goin' after church?
In that preacher's car
You know I won't tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
I won't tell nobody, tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Oh, Miss Madonna, won't you please give me a kiss?
Give me one of those soft sweet lagrimas
'Cause I felt your pain
When your - your baby was slain
I tossed some roses to perfume his grave
Oh, Miss Madonna, won't you let me underneath your halo?
'Cause it's raining hard
Raining hard in this abyss
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Oh, Miss Madonna, where you goin' after church?
In that preacher's car
You know I won't tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
I won't tell nobody, tell nobody
That you've been smoking cigars
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Miss Madonna, won't you give me a kiss?
One of your soft sweet lagrimas
Haitian Love Songs lyrics - Cocorosie
[Interpretation of early black and white Haitian love songs]
Oceans wept
Moutains slept
Sidewalks crumbled to ash
Your name remains
In children's lullabies
And your eyes forever in the sky
Pull me close
Dear I'm tremblin'
Hold me tight
I'm afraid ot the night
Blackness fills the room
Your love, it burns bright
Oh, summer winds
Remind me of your kiss
Soft and warm
I never want to leave this
I never wanted to say goodbye
I'd throw myself to the sea
If God promised you're inside
We'd float to island paradise
And I'd become your bride
The countryside looks bare
Without you lying in her grass
The stream is dry
And the crickets silent
There's no music in the night
I'd become smoke
And hide in your cigarette pack
To be a star
Tossing light
To sparkle in your eyes
I'd become an angel
And kiss this earth goodbye
Destiny
Used to be
Just a word to me
But heaven sure was right
When they said Jesus left somethin' behind
Every inch of this body
I'd plate in gold for you
Even though I ain't go no money
I'd do it just to keep you
Your eyes appear
In every one of my dreams
They glitter and they gleam
Like the first time we meet
The chickens, they crowed
And I knowed you're home
Oh, my spirit ran to greet you
Before my feet left the porch
[Interpretation of early black and white Haitian love songs]
Oceans wept

Lyla lyrics - Cocorosie
You wanted to buy me for a hundred euro
You said you'd take me to your little car
Your friend lived near by, he had a house and all
Where was I from, you said
You guessed Yugoslavia
Well, it's not Yugoslavia
It's not Yugoslavia at all
It reminded me of a movie I just saw
About a little girl from Yugoslavia
She got sent away, they made her prostitute
She ate McDonald's all day
And never had a chance to play
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
You wanted to buy me for a hundred euro
You said you'd take me to your little car
Your friend lived near by
He had a house and all
Where was I from, you said
You guessed Yugoslavia
But it's not Yugoslavia
It's hardly Yugoslavia at all
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
You said you'd take me to your little car
Your friend lived near by, he had a house and all
Where was I from, you said
You guessed Yugoslavia
Well, it's not Yugoslavia
It's not Yugoslavia at all
It reminded me of a movie I just saw
About a little girl from Yugoslavia
She got sent away, they made her prostitute
She ate McDonald's all day
And never had a chance to play
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
You wanted to buy me for a hundred euro
You said you'd take me to your little car
Your friend lived near by
He had a house and all
Where was I from, you said
You guessed Yugoslavia
But it's not Yugoslavia
It's hardly Yugoslavia at all
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
Lyla, Lyla, Lyla
