Calamity 03:09
Martha Jane didn’t wait till May 68 To be the woman who was equal to men Girls you can go back into the kitchen For the place’s no longer available Martha Jane was a great storyteller Like men she was the very best of liars She never went out without her shotgun She was so sexy dressed in her dirty trousers Martha Jane was such a woman Martha Jane was a Cannary Martha Jane acted as a man Martha Jane was a calamity Martha Jane led the carriage She fought against plenty of bandits She just did what she wanted That’s why she’s a great legend Martha Jane didn’t wait till May 68 To be the woman who was equal to men Martha Jane was a Cannary Martha Jane was a calamity

The clown is turning around the ring His juggling balls affect my sight And reduce my resistance Bewitched, hard ! He stops in front of my eyes And opens his big red mouth His face gets infected by a coarse laugh Horrified ! The clown hides a secret, a terrible one He did something very bad And it shines like an aggressive flash Primary desire! Will the murder become bearable for the conscience ? Hiiiiiiii

You say that you are good but you are not You say that you are good but you are not Those who try to come closer are sent back You hate the people all around And I heard you mumbling in the dark And I heard you humming in the dark With a crow, sniggering in the dark And your empty bottle of wine You say that you are good but you are not You say that you are good but you are not You never show your face under the light The shadow of your shape, a dreadful one You are the monster of the town Scaring the girls coming back Home from the fields where they had such delight The feeling of your presence turns all to black Shout! Hahahaha!

London 01:51
I was shouting on the street that I hated London I was desperate to find someone to speak French with I was really fed up with these bloody fish’n’chips I was England’s public enemy number one Oh my God! The Queen’s jewels and hats! Shocked by my words for the rest of their lives Ha! England’s public enemy number one!

Nightclub 02:08
I was very drunk in that club Where there were red lights and much smoke Dancing in the middle without paying Attention to people around me I must say that I felt free I was well dressed in a miniskirt I had beautiful make up on my eyes Lots of men came around me Trying to touch my ass and my breast I must say that I had appeal I refused to be treated like a whore I pushed them all away yelling words That they surely did not want to hear These men started doing more than insult me I must say that I was aggressive Friends told me it was my own fault That I was stupid and provocative For sure I won’t go casting my eyes down Even if I was wrong I don’t care I am the master of myself Leave me I just wanna dance

When everything sleeps but me The devil comes into my room Ready to claim my miserable soul That I promised to give him when I was born I feel it approaching My blood is getting cold My heart stands still I stop breathing and wait until… Fire, fire come and claim What I was condemned to give you, Hell My whole being trapped in a cage Gets devoured by the air

The revelation has been made Now we can’t change anything it’s too late I don’t know why maybe it’s by chance Or maybe this is just my own fate Anyway I survived and I have been spared It’s a shame Why am I still there I want to escape Where the other ones have been taken I don’t want this fate Please a dead one give me a gun I saw many fingers coldly pull the trigger I witnessed your deaths and I witnessed your blood Gushing out from your still warm bodies The revelation has been made Now we can’t change anything it’s too late History is ending just now I doubt I will write the rest myself Cause I’m the only one to remain There’s no one to see that it’s such a pain

Wasting the light I always get up to fight I’m gonna win one night For having struggled hard Primary considerations disappeared But my mental structures hardly stabilize Will I be alive at midnight or under a train That’s the point, yeah that’s the crucial point One more and more ending up trying to survive War is declared the battle’s ragin’ inside One more and more ending up trying to survive If I Don’t die today my brain will win the fight Another awful day begins it makes me wild For sure my body knows how it’s gonna end Will I be alive at midnight or under a train That’s the point, yeah that’s the crucial point One more and more
