Melancholy Fraise
All songs Lucy Prasad/Philippe Perelman
Leave it all behind
One day you catch a train, you take a window seat the ground is swept away from underneath your feet. There’s nothing on your mind, and nothing in your hands, you leave it all behind, your universe expands
Beyond the railway tracks, beyond the Milky Way your destination waits. No need to say goodbye, no need to make amends Your heart is free to fly, your heart is on the mend
You leave it all behind (x4)
You watch the sun go down, you watch the sun come up, Your days and nights, they drown inside your coffee cup. Along deserted streets where no one climbs aboard, you see the million dreams that you could not afford
You leave it all behind (x4)
You leave it all behind Their fading silhouettes You leave it all behind Graffiti on your mind You leave it all behind You leave it all behind
I am
I’m a foreign word you don’t feel like learning I’m a thought that escapes you without forming I’m a stranger you pass in the street, not turning Someone nameless, homeless, in need of warming
I’m a caption you cut from a silent movie A forgotten track that you don’t mind skipping
I am (x2)
I’m a beggar staring down unmoving In a memory you’ve got no room for keeping I’m a cry for help but you don’t hear me calling I’m a snowflake you never notice falling
I am (x3)
I’m a quiet child you go on ignoring Once a year receiving your thoughtless presents On your map I’m a place not worth exploring I’m a dream locked up in your sleeping presence
I am (x2)
I’m a magic spell that you won’t be learning I’m a saving prayer you won’t be hearing I’m an angel who’ll pass over you, not turning Someone glowing, beautiful and unfearing.
I am (x4)
What will I say ?
You If you say love is never meant to last If you say love is something from the past If you say it’s a game we like to play If you say oooh what if you say ?
You If you say there’s no reason to pretend If you say just move on when your love ends If you say see how fast it fades away If you say oooh what if you say ?
I I will say this is really nothing new I will say I’ll be fine when we are through I will say choose your time to walk away I will say ooh what will I say ?
You if you say it’s a deal that we all make If you say it’s a promise we all break If you say holding on is not the way If you say oooh what if you say ?
I I will say this is just the way I feel I will say I’ll survive, I’m quick to heal I will say nice to be with you but hey I will say ooh what will I say ?
what will I say hey? what will I say ? what will I say hey ? what will I say hey? what will I say ? what will I say hey ?
he loves me yeah yeah yeah he loves me yeah yeah yeah he loves me yeah yeah yeah he loves me yeah yeah yeah
Until
I'm running on empty without you around I'm down on the floor, I'm counting out loud I'm adding us up but getting it wrong one-sided equation taking too long
I'm down on the floor and I'm not all right I'm feeling crushed by the weight of the night so much to regret, confess on the spot mistakes taken out by a sniper's shot
until i hear your key in the door I'll be down on the floor until i feel your hands on my face I'll be so out of place
I'm throwing away all the useless junk I'm swimming back to the ship I have sunk so much to set right, don't know where to start don’t know how to get back back into your heart
until i hear your key in the door I'll be down on the floor until i feel your hands on my face I'll be so out of place
A change of scene, on the edge of the world Unwanted memories buried and burned Still on the floor but warm in the sun Adding us up, a neat little sum
until i hear your key in the door I'll be down on the floor until i feel your hands on my face I'll be so I'll be so I'll be so out of place
Mocha
You’re such an awesome mix, the best of nature’s tricks The best genetic pool-- oo oo You rule
A hot exotic drink, not a single missing link Where others stand in line-- You shine
Sometimes the clouds won’t scatter Don’t ever let it matter
Never go undercover, never hide in your locker Never change your true colour Mocha (x2)
Ignore the sticks and stones, this world is not for clones So make your every streak Unique
Sometimes the going gets tougher Don’t ever blend in and suffer
Never go undercover, never hide in your locker Never change your true colour Mocha (x2)
A bit of everything, not a single boring thing Where others fade so fast-- You last
Nothing you need to fix, already such a cool mix Already top notch design oo oo So shine
Sometimes the clouds won’t scatter Don’t ever let it matter
Never go undercover, never hide in your locker Never change your true colour Mocha (x3)
Never go undercover, Never hide in your locker Never change your true colour Never change your true colour Never change your true colour Mocha
Lana Del Rey
The air in your bedroom is soaked in regret You’re trying to stretch your last cigarette The night keeps on swinging from black to grey And you’re losing yourself in Lana Del Rey
Her voice is drowning the rain outside Your bed is so cold on the other side There’s nothing left for you but to pray To the heartbreak world of Lana Del Rey
You’re feeling bewitched You’re coming unstitched To the sound of her songs That you keep on replay to dododo oh Lana Del Rey Lana Del Rey
The sun never rises, the moon never sets You’re barely surviving without cigarettes You’re getting addicted to being astray In the heartbreak world of Lana Del Rey
You’re feeling derailed Reality frayed To the sound of her songs That you keep on replay to dododo oh Lana Del Rey Lana Del Rey
She's a knife in your heart, she’s twisting in deep But you welcome the pain and the end of your sleep The sadness of summers, the torment of springs You were born to die every time that she sings that she sings
She’s all that you have and you’ll never betray The wounded eyes of Lana Del Rey No bright blue sky and no ocean spray In the world that you share with Lana Del Rey
tododo todododo to do do do do do do Ô the sound of her songs That you keep on replay to dododo oh Lana Del Rey Lana Del Rey Lana Del Rey
Fugitive words
In my books there are gardens of heartbreak and loss Where I walk under bridges covered in moss I would read them to you but I can’t find the words To explain what they mean, the books in my world
In my streets you will find no footprints or signs You can wander for miles, not a soul in sight I would show you the way but I can’t find the words To explain where they lead, the streets in my world
Out of my reach, like scared little birds Flying away from my strange little world Got to let them escape, got to leave them unheard My beautiful fugitive words
In my dreams I’m adrift on a slow, slow tide I’m alone with the wind and the silence of time I would tell you the truth but I can’t find the words To explain why I feel so alone in my world
Out of my reach, like scared little birds Flying away from my strange little world Got to let them escape, got to leave them unheard My beautiful fugitive words
You could be in my books, in my streets Next to me on the tide in my dreams But I can’t let you in, can’t let anyone hurt My beautiful fugitive words No I can’t let you in, can’t let anyone hurt My beautiful fugitive words
Bird's eye view
Step on the cracks and the world goes under You cry in your sleep, too tired to wonder Whatever happened to peace and love And the promised help from above
Craving silence, surrounded by whispers The middle of summer like the coldest of winters Whatever you do, it’s a hit and miss so what about something like this
Lift your head, you’re one of the chosen few See it all instead, from a bird’s eye view a bird’s eye view
A choice made for you, you can just uncheck it If it’s all black or white, you can make it chequered Whatever your call, it’s for no one to miss so what about something like this
Lift your head, you’re one of the chosen few See it all instead, from a bird’s eye view a bird’s eye view
See it all instead, the world’s bright blue from a bird’s eye view a bird’s eye view
One a day like this
On a day like this There is love and sunlight spilling over On a day like this We are timeless, never growing older
Fingers intertwined, quiet magic Look into my eyes and imagine
There’ll be you and me And a bright blue sky never fading There’ll be you and me And a happiness that's never failing
Little things sometimes taking over Keep your hand in mine pull me closer
Love's a special place where the music plays Endlessly for you and me Love's a simple phrase time will not erase You and me endlessly
On a day like this No more loneliness and no more searching
Through the open door light is flowing Days like this and more we are glowing
Love's a special place where the music plays Endlessly for you and me Love's a simple phrase time will not erase You and me endlessly
We’re a special place where the music plays Endlessly for you and me We’re a simple phrase time will not erase You and me endlessly
Until
I'm running on empty without you around
I'm down on the floor, I'm counting out loud
I'm adding us up but getting it wrong
one-sided equation taking too long
I'm down on the floor and I'm not all right
I'm feeling crushed by the weight of the night
so much to regret, confess on the spot
mistakes taken out by a sniper's shot
until i hear your key in the door
I'll be down on the floor
until i feel your hands on my face
I'll be so out of place
I'm throwing away all the useless junk
I'm swimming back to the ship I have sunk
so much to set right, don't know where to start
don’t know how to get back
back into your heart
until i hear your key in the door
I'll be down on the floor
until i feel your hands on my face
I'll be so out of place
A change of scene, on the edge of the world
Unwanted memories buried and burned
Still on the floor but warm in the sun
Adding us up, a neat little sum
until i hear your key in the door
I'll be down on the floor
until i feel your hands on my face
I'll be so
I'll be so
I'll be so out of place
Grey
Grey is the colour you choose for your clothes
The colour of both your highs and lows
Your old winter scarf that’s starting to fray
And when I think of you I see grey
Grey is what gets me through most of my days
The memories of you and your little ways
I store them in me like an ice cube tray
And when I dream of you it’s in grey
Thinking of you makes me sigh out loud
It feels like a fall through a thunder cloud
A maze of raindrops, a blurry view
That’s what it’s like when I think of you
Grey is the only comforting word
The only hope to be part of your world
I’ll give up the sun, every single ray
Waiting for you to colour me grey
I’ll give up the sun, every single ray
Waiting for you to colour me grey
Millions out there
When I die, there’ll be millions out there turning off their light Not because of my death but because it’ll be night There’ll be millions out there with a catch in their breath At the sight of the stars, not the news of my death
When I’m gone, there’ll be heartbreak and tears flowing on Just because such is life, not because I’ll be gone There’ll be millions out there wearing black for a while Not to mourn me but simply to try a new style
Like I’ve never existed, the world will go on Never pausing to notice the fact that I’m gone All the years measured out to me on this earth Swept away to make room for another one’s birth
When I die, there’ll be millions out there turning off their light Not because of my death but because it’ll be night There’ll be millions out there with a catch in their breath At the sight of the stars, not the news of my death there’ll be millions out there
Pull down the moon
it's a hopeless case, there's no getting her
but your fate is sealed, no forgetting her
gave her all you had, nothing's reaching her
it's the moon she wants, it's the witch in her
when you saw her eyes and the night in them
took her phantoms in, never fighting them
took her by the hand, cold and careless
led her up the old creaky staircase
it's a narrow ledge where you're balancing
looking down on her haunted palaces
shut your eyes and know she will laugh at you
she will never come close to loving you
how insane it is, there’s no pleasing her
pulling down the moon would be easier
how insane it is, such a mystery
but you touch the moon, hear it whispering
in her tangled hair stars are shimmering
on the narrow ledge she is shivering
arms around the moon, she will laugh with you
it’s a hopeless case, she’s in love with you
it's the moon she wants, it's the witch in her
pulling down the moon would be easier
it's the moon she wants, it's the witch in her
pulling down the moon would be easier
Where the moon never sets
Unravel
when you said everybody survives you touched my face, packing up in a hurry i will never forgive you that smile you were trying so hard to look sorry i can still feel your kiss on my cheek asked you why but i doubt that you heard me all your words came out sounding cheap you were trying so hard not to hurt me now the sun is stuck high in the sky no more places to travel and i wish i could break down and cry but i stay desert dry and slowly
so slowly unravel slowly unravel to do tododo slowly unravel so slowly unravel
i could see you were ready to fly lose your smile and drop your pretenses couldn’t wait to get out of my life and walk straight into somebody else’s once we sailed on the blue Milky Way now it's potholes and gravel in my dreams i could wish you away but i stay wide awake and slowly
so slowly unravel slowly unravel to do tododo slowly unravel so slowly unravel
and i wish i could fall through the fire all the way to the devil but instead i’m a tight ball of wire and i slowly, so slowly
so slowly unravel slowly unravel to do tododo slowly unravel so slowly unravel
In my head
So many things are not allowed In my head So many things will hurt my brain Sometimes I will let only clouds In my head But only those that never rain
Sometimes I like to make things true In my head And even I will find them strange But all I want is having you In my head And I’m afraid that this won’t change
A fantasy that I let grow In my head An evergreen exotic tree And everything is sweet and slow In my head The only way that things can be A secret place that I can go In my head A secret place for you and me
I make it true with magic spells In my head There’s not a thing that’s out of bounds There’s you and me and nothing else In my head Except when I let in some clouds
Grey
Grey is the colour you choose for your clothes The colour of both your highs and lows Your old winter scarf that’s starting to fray And when I think of you I see grey
Grey is what gets me through most of my days The memories of you and your little ways I store them in me like an ice cube tray And when I dream of you it’s in grey
Thinking of you makes me sigh out loud It feels like a fall through a thunder cloud A maze of raindrops, a blurry view That’s what it’s like when I think of you

Inside my vault
The rain will pound upon my door I don’t recall my life before Your passing smile when I felt so cold Became my code, my secret code
There’s no one else, it’s no one’s fault I’ll keep you safe inside my vault
The rain will hide your tracks and clues Suspended bars of autumn blues You are a chord where I won’t get to know A single note, a single note
There’s no one else, it’s no one’s fault I’ll keep you safe inside my vault
I will forgive you for taking my time I will forget you can’t be mine I’ll lose the fight and keep you on my mind
The rain will play an endless game It will dictate your terms again I’ll wear the love that I know I’ve missed Around my wrist, around my wrist
There’s no one else, it’s no one’s fault I’ll keep you safe inside my vault I’ll keep you safe inside my vault
