lyrics

The Japanese cat stares at me

He smashed into pieces

I cover the window and switch

The channels in my head

The bus driver is taking his seat

You are paralyzed by the mouvement

The scenery is rushing by

While the clock ticking

Richtung : Ostdeutschland

Reveals the traces of my footsteps in snow

Wet from sadness and pain

Creating Il Diluvio universale

48 hours of Hungarian rhapsody in rain

Irány: Keleti pályaudvar

Crossing the bridge

Like the last survivors from the suicide

On a train to nowhere my hands shake

Turning the pages of a book torn to shreds

The image of the black-spotted dog

Howling in the night

The truck driver is picking his teeth

And counting his money on the countryside road

In the brightness of the street light

The eyes of the cow devour me

I take a shortcut to the end

I’m crashed into pieces

But the man with the moustache smiles, lights his cigarette

And the direction indicator is pointing West

The jealous Zephyr must be blowing his gust of wind

Monsieur le chat grins from the tramway window

And we balance over his head on a balancing rope made for balancing purposes at 35C sweating like chicken under the white veranda

I change the time zone

Jag skulle vilja vara en sköldpadda

som simmar i en finsk sjö

General Bye Bye image

General Bye Bye Paris, France

Un trio mi-branque mi-savant associant avec fraîcheur le tranchant des cordes en acier, la frénésie cardiaque des peaux sur les fûts, et l’envoûtement enchanteur des circuits imprimés. Les chansons de General Bye Bye laissent tantôt rêveur tantôt danseur. Un ensemble foutraque qui sent l’humus et l’écume, les vestiaires et le plastique fondu. À la croisée de Kraftwerk et Blonde Redhead. ... more
