lyrics

Dry
(Edouard Poujaud, Patrice Steinberger - Elephant and Castle)

The city is alight when tears cloud over our sight
A bright liquid fire is deforming the night
Is the night queasy ? The moon is pale
Or did I just drink too much ale ?

The city is alight, big moments arrive
When lovers get ready to play live
This night has lapsed, the moon is stale
Or am I out of date ? Do I ail ?

As you’re dressing up, cause you’re going out
Make the most of tonight
And as you undress, and as you caress
Make the most of this night
Cause we live so fast

The city is a fight, last naives die
Bright blue eyes turn red and cry
Did you ever listen to what you’ve heard ?
Did I ever really think what I said ?

As you choose the clef, cause you sing the highs
Make the most of the time
Blind almost deaf, the victim of your lies
Retains only the rhyme
Cause you speak so fast

The irrational anthem screams in the loudspeakers
And a ton of flesh mates without fear
An I peeled always jeered
This scent of fade rose will soon turn sour at dawn
I feel so stick but I am safe

As I’m staying up, and you’re staying out
Make the most of you’re crime
Dry is your sweat, dry is your sap
You’ll stay stuck for all life
Cause you love so fast

The city is alight when tears cloud over our sight
A bright liquid fire is devouring the night
I’m alone but alive

about

Elephant and Castle image

Elephant and Castle Paris, France

Born in London at the end of the 80s, the french band E&C had turned the established order of prog rock upside down. They invented an elaborate music, inflated with the energies of Led Zep, Queen or Alice Cooper. The band was compared to such icons as IQ, Rush and Saga. One album (The Green One 1991), one tour, and then it’s over? No way. Two albums (one studio, one live), are released in 2021 ... more
