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!

about

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. ... more
