To The Wire 02:19
Like a bird with his ear on the wire Waiting on the new year And it burns, and it yearns like a fire Telling all the good, good lies What is holding between the lines Of his faith And his fear Are the very things that always get me down But it’s only right you should be Running with the moon dog And it sounds full of misery To see him there on his own What is holding between the lines Of his faith And his fear Are the very things that always get me down Oh well it’s so beautiful When you sleep on your throne And your friends, they’re all gone Yeah I was out for a stroll by the sea Smoking by the moonlight Like a moth that’s drawn to the flame I’m praying to the wrong god Cause I’m holding between the lines Of my faith And my fear Are the very things that always get me down Oh well it’s so beautiful When you sleep on your throne And your friends, they’re all gone Yeah

No one told me How far it would Far it would It would stretch your nerves So I thought I’d be in the clear In the clear But my greatest fear Which I won’t declare And I cannot repair on my own C’est pas dans ta tête qu’il faut chercher, c’est dans ton coeur C’est pas les nuages qu’il faut chasser, c’est leur voleur C’est pas dans ta tête qu’il faut chercher, c’est dans ton coeur Chercher dans ton coeur J’ai dû porter ton uniforme Ton uniforme de sang taché Mes nuits brisent de couleurs, de lumières me font t’oublier Ta voix douce comme la nuit et le mouvement de tes tempêtes C’est pas dans ta tête qu’il faut chercher, c’est dans ton coeur C’est pas les nuages qu’il faut chasser, c’est leur voleur C’est pas dans ta tête qu’il faut chercher, c’est dans ton coeur Chercher dans ton coeur Oooh Aaah

You got your hot eyes For all them big-thighed women blinking into the sun They got the children you got none You're sleeping in your best clothes Not as dirty as I had hoped I’m too cowardly to put it right It’s your deerskin hat that caught my eye When you’re out on the brink And every night’s a giant I do my best to shrink it Every boy knows that you’re reeling And you’re not sure, you’ll get clear air Will we get clear air? Can’t stop now That they’re never going to find us Can’t stop now that we’re so close to violence Look that look When you gimme that look Look that look When you gimme that look What was that that you said? What was that that you did? That got me in trouble You’re in that sunlight You cast a grey shape See you and me against the wall Is that really us at all? Can’t stop now That you’re never going to find us Can’t stop now that we’re so close to violence Look that look When you gimme that look Look that look When you gimme that look I need this love to keep me afloat We might make it out with a little more rope

We steal a car and we head south We lost a friend to a very good cause I have a feeling that they won't be catching us We had a blast at our sisters I heard you crying in the bathroom You have a way of making me feel left out Cause nothing happens for nothing Happens at all Nothing happens for nothing You fell on your knees with the weight of the world on your shoulders Your shooting star is burning So send them all over Turn on the loving lights We make it so hard on each other And somebody talked too soon Don't you say that it's true We laughed so hard when we caught fire As we got out of the car crash You said "maybe baby, we should go home" If we get old in the meantime I swear I’ll kill us both with my two hands I know I'll be to blame somehow You fell on your knees with the weight of the world on your shoulders Your shooting star is burning Give into your dirty self (dirty self) It's gonna do you some good Give into your dirty self (dirty self) You’re a mean one You’re a mean one You know it's gonna do you some good Oh the world of good

about

Excess Baggage unearths gems hidden beneath the surface of Le Trouble's debut EP, 2013's Reality Strikes. A collection of 4 previously unreleased tracks that were recorded live a decade ago during the EP's production but had never made it to the final release. We're peeling back the curtain to showcase Le Trouble’s cheeky lyrics, an undeniable knack for songwriting and the infectious energy that radiated during their recording sessions. Rough and unpolished, the songs exude a unique charm that only a band in its early stages has.
