Dans la famille "songwriters déchirant et qui déchire", quelques fines plumes ont laissé foule de jolis mots dans ma tête ces derniers temps, bien remplie et qui dit oui, qui dit non, non, non, non, non.
Folkeux au nom de scène génialissime, The Tallest Man On earth avec "The Gardner" ouvre le bal des poètes...

I sense a runner in the garden
Although my judgements known to fail
Once built a steamboat in a meadow
Cos I'd forgotten how to sail

I know the runner's going to tell you
There ain't no cowboy in my hair
So now he's buried by the daisies
So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe

I sense a spy up in the chimney
From all the evidence I've burned
I guess he'll read it in the smoke now
And soon to ashes I'll return

I know the spy is going to tell you
It's not my flag up in the pole
So now he's buried by the lilies
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe

I sense a leak inside my phone now
From all the lies I have told
I know he has your private number
And soon he'll make that vicious call

I know the leak is going to tell you
There ain't now puppy in your leash
So now he'll fertilize the roses
So I could stay the king you see
In your eyes, babe (x2)

So now we're dancing through the garden
And what a garden I have made
And now that death will grow my jasmine
I find it soothing I'm afraid

Now there is no need for suspicion
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
I won't be lying when I tell you
That I'm a gardner I'm a man
In your eyes babe


Dans cycle chaotique de nos joies et de peines, il y des arc-en-ciel qui nous précède, des bombes qui explosent à nos joies, des mots qui nous suivent comme des ombres.
Elvis Perkins "While you were sleeping"



while you were sleeping
the babies grew
the stars shined
and the shadows moved
time flew, the phone rang
there was a silence
when the kitchen sang
its songs competed
like kids for space
we stared for hours
in our maker's face
they gave us picks
said go mine the sun
and go gold
and come back when you're done

while you were sleeping
you tossed, you turned
you rolled your eyes
as the world burned
the heavens fell,
the earth quaked
i thought you must be,
but you weren't awake
no, you were sleeping
you ignored the sun
you grew your power garden
for your little ones
and you found brides
for them on christmas eve
they hung young cain
from the adam trees
and danced

while you were sleeping
i tossed and i turned
til i closed my eyes
but the future burned
through the planet turned
a hair gray
as i relived the day
while you were sleeping
the money died
machines were harmless
and the earth sighed
through the wind
you slept sound
and gravity caught my love around
the ocean rose,
sang about decay
while witches flew
and the mermaids stayed
full of dreams,
you overslept
and keeping with quiet,
through the walls i crept
i walked on tiptoe,
sent darkness swirling over all the kitchen
in the early morning

i'll never catch up to you
who sleeps so sound
my arms are useless
my heart beats too loud
to go to sleep
my mind's too proud
to bow out

while you were sleeping
the time changed
all your things
were rearranged
your vampire mirrors
face to face
they saw forever out into space
and found you dreaming
in black and white
while it rained in all the colors of the night
i watched the tvsmemories
championships vanished to sea
could it be, my honey between you and me

so i waited for the riddled sky
to be solved again by sunrise
and i've made a death suit for life
for my father's ill widowed wife

did you have that strangest dream before you wok
cos in your gown you had the butterfly stroke
did it escape you like some half told joke?
when you reached for your plume of smoke

it'll haunt you, my honey bee
anyone who is anyone has that same dream
were you falling
were you flying
and were you calling out
or were you dying
thank god you're up now
let's stay that way
else there'll be no mornings
and no more days
cos when we're dreaming
our babies grow
the sun shines
and the shadows flow
time flies
the phone rings
there is a silenceand everybody tries to sing
