It doesn’t matter what kind of person you are
The way you dance or if you can spit quite far
It doesn’t matter if your whole world is cancer
Or that it tastes so good you’d patent the flavour…
You won’t be spared for being kind to your children
Or having guts or charm or extreme opinions
Or being dull and having nothing to say
It doesn’t matter at the end of the day…
The world spins on into the silent void
You could be the next one to fall off
You flounder now clinging onto the wreckage
Drowning, going under, safe in the knowledge
That you are Captain and life is here for your leisure
I can even call you Sir if you will feel better
How I will laugh when I think of your face
The day it dawned on you that no one is safe
That’s why I don’t give a fuck anyway
It doesn’t matter at the end of the day…
We will look at each other nervously
Who will be the next one to go
Who’s it gonna be ?
No matter what you say…
The world spins on…
The world spins on into the silent void…

Told You So

Told you so
I hate being right
it seems to happen all the time
Dreaded sinking feeling
Predicting with surgical precision
Foresight with no bounds
Shame you’re not around to listen to my
Every single word
I miss your rapt attention
I hate being left
To kill time by ranting on and on and…
Every single word
Begs your rapt attention
You tried to fool me with your screwed-up vision
You tried to warn me but I never used to listen
Now I sink in quicksand, make my lonely last stand
You wish you’d heard me out now, told you so
I hate being right
But I’ll indulge just one last time
When this night is through
You’ll wish I was there to guide you
I didn’t fit in with your perfect vision
You tried to warn me but I’d never fucking listen
Now I sink in quicksand, make my lonely last stand
I’m what I’ve always wanted to be
Told you so…
I told you… so.

Playing With Echoes

Playing with Echoes.
Does that sound ring a bell? Did those words sound sincere?
(I once loved being here, I should hate it but it seems to suit me somehow…)
Plunge on headfirst into a memory
(Hold your breath and count to ten thousand; those were the good old days…)
Claw your way back up to the surface, cough up ghosts and realize
(The hole in your soul that you dug for them was not quite deep enough…)
Ask what’s wrong; drag me back, guilt is reality
(The mirror begs for answers and I have none…)
It drives me crazy like Murdoc (court)
You drive me crazy like Murdoc (court).
When it’s time for a change I am a few years late
(Like a frozen calendar fading on the office wall…)
I now know where I am, I have been here before
(That is exactly what keeps me coming back for more)
I’ll keep on thumping ‘till my thumb’s black and drops
I’ll keep on snarling ‘till my throat seizes up
I’ll keep on searching; I’ll keep on screwing up
I’ll keep on screwing up
‘Cause I am crazy like Murdoc (court)
You drive me crazy like Murdoc (court)
Now I just play with the echoes (harmo grave)
If you want answers I have none (harmo grave)
If you want reasons I have none
I’m not your father he has gone…(harmo grave)
If you want pity I have none
You make me crazy like…
Murdoc (long)

Never Forgive, Never Forget
Live life to the full, good to the last drop
Every single new day is a gift to grow, to love and to pass on in turn
Every new experience is another chance to improve, to change and to learn…
But I can…
Never forgive, never forget
I never forget, never forgive
I never forgive, never forget
I never forget
Never forgive, never forget
I…
I never forget, never forgive
I never forget.
Get used to it all,
Keep dreaming on,
Leave nothing to chance, leave nothing behind,
Tie up loose ends and make sure they stay tight.
Radiate tranquility, be a true example of what man can become…
But I can…
Never forgive, never forget
I never forget, never forgive
I never forgive, never forget
I never forget
Never forgive, never forget
I…
I never forget, never forgive
I never forget.
I never…
Life is sweet,
But I can never forgive and I can never forget it all
So, so sweet.
But I can never forgive and I can never forget it all
Sweeping rage.
But I can never forgive and I can never forget at all
Life is good.

My First and Only Lesson
And it comes back now despite the pain and everything
And when you hear it speak you grit your teeth and shut your eyes
But it won’t let you slip away
From its baleful stare and harsh rusty voice that speaks with the bitter truth of experience
They will have to prise open my death-grip on you.
It’s the hardest thing you’ll ever learn and the first and only lesson that you’ll hear from me
I wish things were different but that’s how it is
There’s no more to add because
There’s no truth, there’s just you…
Again and again and again,
It’s just a matter of who and when
You will be disappointed, dispirited and revolted
Just hold on tight to whatever you choose, may no one come near on pain of great pain.
May they have to prise open your death-grip too…
And marvel at your smile and wonder why the joke’s on them.
Eternal head scratching, always asking just shut up and think for a second ‘cause…
There’s no truth, there’s just what you can make of it all.
Now go!
Shut up and just try to think for yourself
Shut up!
Shut up and you will feel oh so much better
Shut up!

Castle Doctrine
I sit in the darkness and listen for your key in the door
I dream of your footsteps, your shuffle on the tiles of my floor
I swear I heard your hand on the doorknob, down those three steps and into my room
I hear you breathe and I can almost smell your madness, I’ll turn and smile ‘cause I’ve been waiting for you
I’ll feel like an angel with a flaming sword
Go ahead! Make my day! If you feel lucky!
Now I think back to those happy times, when those annoying children filled this house with their laughter
I can’t believe this is the same place: tonight as chaos reigns if it’s God’s will I will kill her
And I stare into space, and hope for one chance to even the score
My grip tightens on the adjustable spanner
And it feels like being an angel with a flaming sword
Go ahead! Make my day! If you feel lucky!
I’ve drawn my line in the sand, so do you feel lucky?
Please force me to stand my ground
Please cross my fucking line in the sand
I hope that you will recall my name.

One Parachute
I will give up trying to understand
I will sign off now for another station.
We’ve only got one parachute
Did you count them? Well please just count again!
I will miss out just on this occasion.
Crabbing like a Super Guppy with twin engine failure
Stamping on the rudder pedals, straining just to hold her.
Handling like an old Antonov with no elevator
The Vodka burner’s rolling with no pitch control to save her.
The warning lights, the ECAM blares
Master caution, nothing works.
Martin Baker, here I come.
Pull my handle, I am gone.
Drifting down beneath the stars
Nightmare’s over, all is calm.
Gentle touch down, tuck and roll, when I sit up
You’re waiting for me.
Diving like a Stuka on some unsuspecting Russian,
Airbrakes jammed shut, ground is looming, seconds to oblivion.

Chaos Reigns
Now is the time to feel horrified
Some old habits just never die
Like an nth sequel with no more to say
Spin-offs and reboots will not save us now I’m afraid
…what you see is what you get now
but you also get what you don’t want to see…
The shit we can do out of fear…
Of dying alone, dissolving in beer
Rage, recover, repeat after me
Your fear is a weapon, as long as it’s used sparingly
…what you see is what you get now
but you also get what you don’t’ want to see…yeah!
Smeared your body, locked your mind in
Anger growing, too blind to describe
But not enough yet – you can do better
Open your eyes and specify
Specify your will to survive
Still not enough now, you’ll have to do better
If you want this you will have to rid yourself from the following:
-From ignorance
-From weakness
-From vanity
-And sheer dumb unluck

Journey’s End
We tried to live a thirty-something dream
Then it caught on; you’re not yet thirty-something right?
My red-haired child so innocent, yet still a bitch
Screwed-up once again over nothing worth mentioning
So I say “Hey, where do we go now?”
Journey’s End
Try a big old house outside these city walls
Where you carry me, then I carry you, then I let you go again
Blacking out alone now on the swing beneath the tree
The winter spins around me closing in now
So I say “Hey, where do we go now?”
Journey’s End
Why bother to love? You can pretend
Why bother to hate? You can ignore
Why bother to grow? You can stagnate
Why bother at all it just delays…
Why bother to listen when you can talk?
Why bother to learn when you just know?
Why bother to rise when you can sleep?
Why bother to sleep? You can just drink!
Why bother to eat? You can just drink!
Why bother to find someone to drag you from this hell?
The winter spins around me now.
Just a thirty-something dream for you and me…
And I say.

Le Minus Toulouse, France
Lurking within each of us lies Le Minus, that bitter, frustrated, hard-done by inner voice that whispers of conquest and
unappeased revenge. Biding time, it sees and mocks our loneliest moments with a wry sense of humour…
This trio sums up two decades of alternative rock and fusion. Their style is an explosive cocktail of energy, instinct, groove and power.
