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.

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.

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

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

"Noah's Ark" (2005)

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

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

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

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

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

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...

Noah's Ark lyrics - Cocorosie

Thank You God for this fine day
Bless all the children of the world
And thank You for the plants
And the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Thank You God for this fine day
Bless all the children of the world
And thank You for the plants
And the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Thank You God for this fine day
Bless all the children of the world
And thank You for the plants
And the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals
And he took me away

Thank You for the plants
And the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

And help me be good tomorrow
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

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

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
