Elegy for the Arctic - Claire Augier de Lajallet

One for the road, ooh-ooh One for the road, ooh-ooh From the bottom of your heart, the relegation zone I saw this coming from the start The shake, rattle and roll All the cracks in blackout blinds cast patterns on the ceiling But you're feeling fine I thought it was dark outside I thought it was dark outside (One for the road) So we all get back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor There's no need to show me 'round, baby I feel like I've been here before I've been wonderin' whether later, when you tell everybody to go Will you pour me one for the road? I knew this would be on the cards I knew you wouldn't fold I saw this comin' from the start The shake, rattle and roll (One for the road) So we all get back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor There's no need to show me 'round, baby I feel like I've been here before I've been wonderin' whether later, when you tell everybody to go Will you pour me one for the road? The mixture hits you hard Don't get that sinking feeling, don't fall apart Some out of tune guitar Soundtrack to disaster Ooh-ooh, one for the road Ooh-ooh, one for the road Ooh-ooh, one for the road Ooh-ooh, one for the road Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh (One for the road) So we all get back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor There's no need to show me 'round, baby I feel like I've been here before I've been wonderin' whether later, when you tell everybody to go Will you pour me one for the road?

We all want someone to shout for Yeah, everyone wants somebody to adore But your heroes aren't what they seem When you've been where we've been Have I done something to trigger The funny looks and the sniggers? Are they there at all Or is it just paranoia? 'Cause everybody's got their box Doing what they're told You pushed my faith near being lost But we'll stick to the guns Don't care if it's marketing suicide We won't crack or compromise Your derisory divides Will never unhinge us And there's a couple of hundred Think they're Christopher Columbus But the settlers had already settled Here long before ya Just 'cause we're having a say-so Not lining up to be Play-Doh Oh, in five years time, will it be "Who the fuck's Arctic Monkeys?" 'Cause everybody's got their box Doing what they're told You pushed my faith near being lost But we'll stick to the guns Don't care if it's marketing suicide We won't crack or compromise Your derisory divides Will never unhinge us All the thoughts that I just said Will linger 'round and multiply in their head Not that bad to start with I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed It's not you, it's them that are wrong Tell 'em to take out their tongues Tell 'em to take out their tongues It's not you, it's them that are wrong Tell 'em to take out their tongues Tell 'em to take out their tongues And bring on the backlash! It's not you, it's them that are wrong Tell him to take out his tongue Tell him to take out his tongue It's not you, it's them that's the fake I won't mess with your escape If it's really your escape, yeah

Dotkne-li se Bělbog země. Dám ti čaro panen. V těle horký plamen Ti dám. Dotkne-li se Bělbog země. Dám ti strach a sílu. Beznaděj a víru Ti dám. Spustí-li se boží stolec. Zemi s nebem spojí. Dám ti krásu svoji. Ti dám. Do dlaní tvých Vložím teplo ohně. Svěžest vody. Která život zplodí. Ti dám. Odolan. Dulipan. Perunika... Osedlá-li svého koně Slunce časně z rána. Ať láska je ti dána. Chci já. Napojí-li svého koně Svěží rosou ranní. Splním ti tři přání. Jen já. Vyjde-li Luna v noci. Dám ti sílu vlčí. Ústa, která mlčí. Ti dám. Do očí tvých vložím kouzlo Vidět věci příští. Které zlobu tříští. Ti dám.

Fiendish wonder in a carnival's wake Dull caresses once again irritate Tread softly, stranger Move over toward the danger that you seek You think excitement has receded then the mirror distracts The logic of the trends quickly reaches and grasps Handsome and faceless And weightless, your imagination runs And now it's no one's fault but yours At the foot of the house of cards You thought you'd never get obsessed You thought the wolves would be impressed And you're a sinking stone But you know what it's like to hold the jeweller's hands That procession of pioneers All drowned In the moonlight they're more thrilling Those things that he knows As he leads you through the grinning Bubble blowers in the snow Watching his exit Is like falling off the ferry in the night The inevitable's gather to push you around Any other voice makes such a punishing sound He became laughter's assassin Shortly after he showed you what it was And now it's no one's fault but yours At the foot of the house of cards You thought you'd never get obsessed You thought the wolves would be impressed And you're a sinking stone But you know what it's like to hold the jeweller's hands That procession of pioneers All drowned If you've a lesson to teach me I'm listening, ready to learn There's no one here to police me I'm sinking in until you return If you've a lesson to teach me Don't deviate, don't be afraid Without the last corner piece I can't calibrate Let's get it ingrained If you've a lesson to teach me I'm listening, ready to learn There's no one here to police me I'm sinking in until you return If you've a lesson to teach me Don't deviate, don't be afraid Without the last corner piece, I can't calibrate Let's get it ingrained If you've a lesson to teach me I'm listening, ready to learn There's no one here to police me I'm sinking in until you return (If you've a lesson to teach me) (Don't deviate, don't be afraid) (Without the last corner piece, I can't calibrate) (Let's get it ingrained)
