lyrics

La vague en lui,
La vague le lui avait montré l’obscurité,
Ses facultés... intactes?
l’homme au singe, du singe au lézard, Crustacé, Trilobite.
Parallel to him
Between the air and sea floats gigantic sardine
Baptiste Sardinell tied a double bowline

Show me that painting again!
Provencal peintre au bord de seine
Sartine Anti-fisherman
La Sardine mêlée aux vagues et aux ciel capturée à l’huile par un
pinceau
ventre moucheté d’emeraude
Au bord de seine le peintre est en grêve corporel
son sang froid est bloqué/ne flow plus/ le soleil en etat d’eclipse
permanent,
brown with grey
I can’t stand no no, I can’t stand oh no … les impressionistes
Rejection theory, niether here nor there
It’s washed out échouée

Au diable Claude, bon, Fickle fish suffer under the sun
Sun, there ain’t no sunshine in that fish
arachon du cou au cul, dorsal to anal fin
cherchons le prisme de lumière, the passion fruit within
A dab-handed modernist
Une limande pour son main
left -eye out of sync
I feel he’s taking the piss on the otherhand
O Jean Baptiste Sardinell
O Jean Baptise Sardine why o why’s it blocking the vieux port
A playful little critique of his coup de coeur, they thought
It’s oily Olive painted skin so fresh and so bright
a classic midi-terre-and painter of light
So reel it in, and feel it’s emerald eye
but how on earth could it stay there between water and sky
