lyrics

No Time, No Rhyme
(Edouard Poujaud, Patrice Steinberger - Elephant and Castle)

Running, not moving, moon walking
As a mayfly in the evening
I’m dying at the end of each day

I felt your love as a private Tafilet
The oasis was a mirage and
I dry up each day
I made a strong decision today
Listen to what I have to say

Sweet heart, oh my sweet heart
The weather looks fine today
Sweet heart, oh my sweet heart
Stop it ‘cause you misplay
You are a feeble hypocrite and so vain

Shut up you are wrong
I’ve been loving you babe

How do you want me to walk
With you I feel so gawk
I drag love, as a mule his plough
No time, no rhyme or we’ll finish in the slime
We have to break up your ways

Listen to what I have to say

Sweet heart, oh my sweet heart
I know what you will say
Sweet heart, oh my sweet heart
Stop it ‘cause you misplay
You seem so secure
So long and go your way
Don’t you know that mayflies
Live just one day

The feeling of living, positive, incentive
I’ve got the world today
To free myself, in every way
Ubiquity is my estate
I had really not one reason to stay
The power, a tower
The flower is lower
I stamp on it today
I leave her now and now I say :
To squash a hand is a game
To climb the rings until the fame shame
Fame ! Fame !

He leaves me now, and now he claims
The right to be over blames
But in my belly, echo will stay

Sweet heart, oh my sweet heart
Sweet heart, oh my sweet heart
Don’t you know that mayflies
Live just a lonely day
Shut up don’t you know that time is honey ?

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
