Your songs remind me of swimming,
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Drank further away from the shore,
And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean,
A stern and stubborn rock
Cos your songs remind me of swimming,
But somehow I forgot

I was sinking, now I'm sunk
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk
I was sinking, now I'm sunk,
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk

I tried to remember the chorus,
I can't remember the verse
Cos that song that sent me swimming,
Is now the life veste that burst

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor,
Sinking like a siren that can't swim no more
Your songs remind me of...

My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
He doesn't make tables, dresses ou chairs
He can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care

My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Kings and queens them all knocked on his door
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
He's made one for himself
One for me too
One of these days he'll make one for you

My boy builds coffins for better ou worse
Some say it's a blessing,...

toi hit me once
I hit toi back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate over my head
Then I set feu to our bed

You hit me once
I hit toi back
You gave a kick
I gave a slap
You smashed a plate over my head
Then I set feu to our bed

My black eye casts no shadow
Your red eye sees nothing
Your slap don't stick
Your kicks don't hit
So we remain the same
Love sticks
Sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit

A kick to the teeth is good for some
A Kiss with a fist is better then none

A Kiss with a fist is better then none

I broke your jaw once before
I spilled your blood upon the floor
You broke my leg in return...

I was a heavy cœur, coeur to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced a crown
I was a heavy cœur, coeur to carry
My feet dragged across the ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown

My l’amour has concrete feet, my love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall

I'm so heavy. Heavy. Heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy. Heavy. Heavy in your arms

And is it worth the wait,
All this killing time?
Are toi strong enough to stand,
Protecting both your cœur, coeur and mine?
Who is the betrayer
Who's the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesn't...

There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that toi could hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

There's a drumming noise inside my head
that throws me to the ground
I swear that toi should hear it
It makes such an all mighty sound

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
I hoped that they would clear my mind
They left a ringing in my ear
But that drum's still beating loud and clear

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell

Louder than sirens
Louder than bells...

I'm not calling toi a liar,
Just don't lie to me.
I'm not calling toi a thief,
Just don't steal from me,
I'm not calling toi a ghost,
Just stop haunting me,
And i l’amour toi so much,
I'm gonna let you,
Kill me.

There's a ghost in my lungs
And it sighs in my sleep,
Wraps itself around my tongue,
As it softly speaks
Then it walks, then it walks with my legs

To Fall,
To Fall,
To Fall, at your feet.
Oh but for the grace of god go on,
And when toi Kiss me, I'm happy enough to die.

I'm not calling toi a liar,
Just don't lie to me.
And i l’amour toi so much,
I'm gonna let you
I'm not calling toi a thief,
Just don't,
And i love...

I've fallen out of favor and I've fallen from grace
Fallen out of trees and I've fallen on my face
Fallen out of taxis, out of windows too
Fell in your opinion when I fell in l’amour with you

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Sometimes I wish for falling, wish for the release
Wish for falling through the air to give me some relief
Because falling's not the problem, when I'm falling I'm at peace
It's only when I hit the ground it causes all the grief

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa-oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

This is a song for a scribbled-down name
And my l’amour keeps écriture again...

There is l’amour in your body but toi can't hold it in
It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin
Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks
And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts

The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts
The hardest of hearts

There is l’amour in your body but toi can't get it out
It gets stuck in your head, won't come out of your mouth
Sticks to your tongue and shows on your face
That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste

Darling heart, I loved toi from the start
But you'll never know what a fool I've been
Darling heart, I loved toi from the start
But that's...
