1.	Carcasse 03:03	lyrics	buy track
J’évite mon regard dans la glace Car je n’ai pas envie de voir des traces Des traces des années qui passent Ce lâche avec un air lasse Toi tu ferait quoi à ma place? Qu’est ce qu’il faut que je fasse? Pour me sortir de cet impasse Pour faire demi tour il n’y a pas de place Faut forcer et tant pis la casse Tourner la page, tirer la chasse Dégager toute cette merde et paperasse Faut que je traîne ma carcasse Je me gène quand j’avance Quelle flemme c’est immense Je t’emmene en amont Ca passe crème nous allons Planter un graine dans le sol Soyons zen pas d’alcool Pas de veine pas de bol Hallucinogène la vie est folle It’s not the same when you’re paying with your own money In your wellies counting pennies and it’s no funny Disappearing can be easy when you’re nobody Had a plan, it fell apart cos it was so shoddy Teeth brushing without looking in the mirror Cos I don’t wanna see the way I dried out and withered All dark no shine no glitter In a couple years I’ll be walking with a zimmer Marching on and the chance’s getting slimmer But of the hope I believe there is a glimmer Turn the heat down leaving it to simmer I had a dream where I headed in the winner Can’t evade me I’m Uranium I’m slightly zany Tell the brainy Mémé Earth’s a sacred lady Many came and few remained One was slain and two were maimed Protégé was born again For the fame it’s all a game Cerné par les cernes sur ma face Tirer le rideau les rides font surface Trop miro le miroir je le casse Je vois flou, ce filou m’agace Enfoncer les pieds dans la mélasse Dansez je traîne ma carcasse Avancer les traces des limaces Renoncé je brise ma carapace Monotone les jours passent et repassent A la ramasse, à la masse, à la casse L’ennuie me dévore tel un rapace Seul hâte, le jour où je trépasse Un souvenir furtif je pourchasse Jolie elle me sourit et m’enlace Tangible mais tordu et fugace Cruelle disparu sans traces
2.	Les Covidés 04:32	lyrics	buy track
Les têtes ont été coupées Remplacées par les poupées Les marionnettes qui travaillent pour t’entourlouper Toi t’as pas une roupie pour souper Faut dire qu’ils s’en foutaient Trop occupés à duper, les malins sont futés Faut lutter avant de se faire amputer Sans ambiguïté, les ministres et députés Oh my godemiché ils nous enculent ces riches C’est pas mon fétiche, arrêtez c’est d'la triche Et si on critique la gestion? C’est du complotisme Et si on veut mettre en question? C’est du complotisme Si on a tort confesse t-on? C’est du complotisme La raison, la reflexion, c’est du complotisme (Refrain) On lui a tiré dessus, il est mort du covid Jean s’est noyé il est mort du covid Sa caisse a fait un tonneau il est mort du covid Sa gorge entaillée il est mort du covid Et si on parlait d’ebola? Il y a pas de vaccin Et le paludisme? Il y a pas de vaccin Alors la grande vérole? Non il y a pas de vaccin Et le VIH? Toujours pas de vaccin Et si t’as pas peur du covid Alors attentat dramatique Et si ça suffit pas réchauffement climatique S’il vous plaît soyez coupable et pathétique Tous derrière le prochain événement médiatique Tu devrais faire gaffe à ton empreinte carbone A moins que tu sois Bezos, Musk ou Branson Les médias nous disent les milliardaires nous bénissent Ils partent dans l'espace dans les fusées forme de pénis Gates a fermé les fenêtres il veut ouvrir les portails Les êtres rentables, des zombies épouvantails Épouvantable tout est vendable Quatre vingt quatre c’est fort probable Que moi je dois être dévié, radicalisé Eux ils sont corrompus, batardisés Les flammes qu’ils attisaient Vont brûler et crisser Sur leurs corps enflammés On irait même pas pisser Votre seigneur votre majesté Monsieur le Président Nous sommes les dissidents Votre discours est nauséabond Le reflet était clair, net, bien rendu Maintenant cassée, l’image est fendue Ainsi exposant la vérité prétendue Donc dans les rues le peuple est descendu (Refrain) Alors ainsi tourne les engrenages Caché à l’ombre des faux sondages Des hôpitaux vides, des acteurs en bandages Vaccin efficacité sans gage Dans une mauvaise direction on s’engage On fonce tout droit sans pilotage On ne veut pas de votre passe chantage Ils baissent les subventions, ils réduisent le language A moi j’aime, moi gauche, toi j’aime pas Moi lève pouce bleu, suivant, sympa Vas y lève toi, boulot, dodo, basta Consomme, ça va vite fait, ne te plains pas L’opinion clivée comme un Wonderbra Des gens divisé n’avanceront pas Les yeux rivés sur une info lambda Lentement écrasés comme un anaconda Bovinés, bovidés Trop con, confinés Entubés, embobinés On sera tous covidés Anti vax censuré Opinion opiné Ou pas cautionnée En marche, tous fauchés (Refrain)

I think I love her and her names Sharlene I've fallen victim and there's no vaccine She makes the colours so shiny and sheen It's like I just ordered a brand new machine She's like Dog take your bitch to the beach Mr Bate Better do as you preach It's rising up and I can't even reach Your so 79 yeah your so kitch Been observing the patterns you weave Been a sinner but I wanna believe Once I got you then I won't let you leave You can be my captive wanna hear you breathe I think I love her and her names Sharlene I've fallen victim and there's no vaccine She makes the colours so shiny and sheen It's like I just ordered a brand new machine She's like Dog take your bitch to the beach Mr Bate Better do as you preach It's rising up and I can't even reach Your so 79 yeah your so kitch

The Babadook The Babadook The Babadook The Babadook The Babadook itches places I can’t scratch The Babadook lays black ideas to hatch The Babadook every Inch I give he snatch The Babadook burn him down I need a match The Babadook thin air struggling to grasp The Babadook can’t breathe I gulp and I gasp The Babadook can’t see a face behind the mask The Babadook takes it all no need to ask The Babadook he’s peckish my fear is his fetish So where is the button to disable the menace Now I can’t escape not to Memphis nor Venice Going back and forth like the table the tennis The Babadook The Babadook The Babadook The Babadook The Babadook The Babadook hiding in the back of my mind The Babadook climbing every step I decline The Babadook don’t look don’t know what you might find The Babadook the pure light the darkness drive me blind The Babadook calling when I’m trying to sleep The Babadook under the bed don’t wanna take a peak The Babadook says jump when the water is deep The Babadook waiting for my soul to reap The Babadook telling me that there isn’t any point Comes running and gunning if I light up a joint He’s the chief he’s the boss, the one who self appoints The only way is down his finger he points The Babadook The Babadook The Babadook The Babadook The Babadook

Tu nous disais de pas s’inquiéter Que tout irait OK Puis t’as vite changé d’avis En fait il valait mieux prier Ta memoire est flouté Tu sais meme plus ce que t’as dit Tu pourrais juste t’excuser Et t’en aller aussi Abandonner aux vents Ce qui viendra viendra Moi je veux être libre Je veux me desserrer les doigts Moi je ne veux pas regarder Les résultats d’aujourd’hui Moi je préfère regarder Depuis le fond d’un cubis I’m tasked with unmasking The cast of the everlasting Who are cast in iron Ever basking In the sunshine of atoms blasting Divide the people into casts Hide the future in the past It depends who’s asking It depends who’s asking It depends who’s asking You told us not to worry Said it’d be OK Changed your mind in a hurry Said that we’d better pray Your memory is blurry Don’t remember what you say Couldn’t you just say sorry And be off on your way Abandon to the wind Let come what may Wanna be roaming In the month of May I don’t wanna know What is the score today Rather put my faith In a box of rosé I’m tasked with unmasking The cast of the everlasting Who are cast in iron Ever basking In the sunshine of atoms blasting Divide the people into casts Hide the future in the past It depends who’s asking It depends who’s asking It depends who’s asking I’m tasked with unmasking The cast of the everlasting Who are cast in iron Ever basking In the sunshine of atoms blasting Divide the people into casts Hide the future in the past It depends who’s asking It depends who’s asking It depends who’s asking

Cela va faire deux ans que je suis chez moi Au bout d’un certain temps il faut se sortir les doigts (du cul) Au debut je faisais du télétravail (mon cul) L’ennui a été un adversaire de taille Baisse de morale et une bonne crise de rage Maintenant je me retrouve au téléchômage Je ne vois pas mon chemin, je ne vois plus ma piste Mon avenir doit être téléRMIste Je reste occuper, stupéfié devant la télé Je change de chaines pour me changer les idées Moi j’aide des gens moi, en restant chez soi Je fais travailler des immigrés qui livrent chez moi On prend un pas en avant J’aime pas ma tronche sur l’écran Je vois mes amis plus trop Je les vois que en Visio Je les suis sur tous les réseaux Happy famille, ça me lasse trop Photo vacances, petit resto Déso, ça me donne la gastro ARE et ASS APL s’entassent RSA la classe Des meilleurs et j’en passe ARE et ASS APL s’entassent RSA la classe Des meilleurs et j’en passe ARE et ASS APL s’entassent RSA la classe Des meilleurs et j’en passe ARE et ASS APL s’entassent RSA la classe Des meilleurs et j’en passe They asked me questions but I sent them away They told me not to but I didn’t obey They want me working where there’s no room to play I lost my rhythm now I don’t know the day UB40 ES40 JSA and over forty Oh Lordy looking hardy Hardly looking, came in tardy Cut the cord you can’t record me Sack the board just cos they bored me Close the door on your way out for me Fake veneer your sharp and thorny Never really play but when will I win though Always indoors staring out my window How you gonna be a better bigger man, ditto man Suppose you gotta be a little bitter man, little man I try to row better I’m not a go getter If I didn’t know better Id place a low bet on you I try to row better I’m not a go getter If I didn’t know better Id place a low bet on you I try to row better I’m not a go getter If I didn’t know better Id place a low bet on you ARE et ASS APL s’entassent RSA la classe Des meilleurs et j’en passe ARE et ASS APL s’entassent RSA la classe Des meilleurs et j’en passe ARE et ASS APL s’entassent RSA la classe Des meilleurs et j’en passe ARE et ASS APL s’entassent RSA la classe Des meilleurs et j’en passe

One minute you’re selling me an automobile The next minute you’re telling me I shouldn’t have wheels You want me to feel heinous, a real anus, pray to Jesus Yet Musk must go to Venus is a giant penis Oh that’s genius, gather round have you seen this Three billionaires going to space to redeem us They wanna protect democracy by killing the civilians Funding a militia and sacrificing millions While we condemn Hitler but we celebrate Columbus So If we believe that then we must be the dumbest John got run down but he died of covid Jim got shot dead but he died of covid Jane had a cardiac arrest but she died of covid Josh committed suicide but he died of covid What about EBOLA? There’s no vaccine What about Malaria? There’s no vaccine What about Syphilis? There’s no vaccine And HIV? No there’s no vaccine In the name of the Holy Dollar The Gold Race and the Petrol Emperor I hereby swear my allegiance to the Chevy Empala May Big Pharma do all that’s decent Can’t think of any scandals recent That would impair my reason Plant the trees in treason Preparing next season Together keep breathing Swine flu, bird flu Curlew curfew No-one to nurse you This might hurt you First come first due Oh you curse you Lost your virtues It’s getting worse too Swine flu, bird flu Curlew curfew No-one to nurse you This might hurt you First come first due Oh you curse you Lost your virtues It’s getting worse too John got run down but he died of covid Jim got shot dead but he died of covid Jane had a cardiac arrest but she died of covid Josh committed suicide but he died of covid What about EBOLA?

Hey you don't know me but You gotta be my friend You got a lonely gut Dont let the music end One nation under groove Overnight my hunger grew Need you name and number too Style is hot like vindaloo You like it smooth or rough Don't make me call my bluff Life is filled with cool stuff Body grooming belly fluff Activate the bell You got no time to tell Only got myself to sell You don't wanna make me yell Now today's sponsor Atomic rocket launcher Be sure to drink your monster All I need is one more sub Be sure to like and follow Click the ad that is below Don't let the haters wallow And I'll be back tomorrow You get the picture right? Have you really got the gist? I just met you but I'm like You should join my mailing list Click bait and rate my lament Maybe I should make it blatant You gotta leave a comment Need the cash bundles raking And If I say hello Holding up a blue thumb Oh you like the radio I don't wanna call you dumb You think that more is better Wanna be a go getter Down the data get the meta Modern day trend setter Have you got the time it takes Don't make these nine mistakes Never bake a soya steak Emancipate your inner hate The crispest list in history A crystal grip of mystery Critics pistol whipped to me Wanna bring out the best in le Learn the secret inner peace Little tubs of murdered geese Shoulder barge and elbow grease Never let the grinning cease

How stitious are you? I’m superstitious Are you super licious? No I’m delicious How bilious are you No I’m ambitious Are you am tritious? No I’m nutritious How stitious are you? I’m superstitious Are you super licious? No I’m delicious How bilious are you No I’m ambitious Are you am tritious? No I’m nutritious Before rapping became WAPing Broken language smacking Hustle smooth gambling Gold chain dangling Jeep wrangling, steep angling Heat handling, keep rambling and shambling It so happens, get your toe tapping Get your bag packing, too busy fapping, an easy sacking Get your road mapping, get your dough stacking Give it your whole backing, leave it let it soak that in Percussion tapping, your phone tapping Like Russian hacking, after supper napping Don’t do no hussy macking Not a fussy fraction, but it was a costly action GTA car jacking, pilot hijacking Jump and dive back in, laughing thigh slapping You wanna die like him, brain fried and dim Suicide is a sin, genocide with a grin Which side is a win, you decide on a whim How stitious are you? I’m superstitious Are you super licious? No I’m delicious How bilious are you No I’m ambitious Are you am tritious? No I’m nutritious How stitious are you? I’m superstitious Are you super licious? No I’m delicious How bilious are you No I’m ambitious Are you am tritious? No I’m nutritious Blue picture of Kingfishers catching swim fishes Pistol Sid Vicious smashing Thatcher’s dishes My black wishes, my swamp witches, my crotch itches In damp ditches, my richest stitches My dog bitches, my mind switches, my eye twitches Don’t lie strictures, bely tricksters Thai mixtures and high hipsters Pen pushers and well wishers Tricktitions who yell missions Your tacticians who lack vision Lack rhythm, throw your cat pigeons Attack risen, hip hop baptism Escape from your mind prison Defiance in him, giant lions in him The same villains remain hidden They say they didn’t so pay your billing Your greatest isms create schisms Your boot licking, your shaft stiffen Your red crimson, your juice glistens, you lose gripping How stitious are you? I’m superstitious Are you super licious? No I’m delicious How bilious are you No I’m ambitious Are you am tritious? No I’m nutritious How stitious are you? I’m superstitious Are you super licious? No I’m delicious How bilious are you No I’m ambitious Are you am tritious? No I’m nutritious

Seul sur mon balcon Avec un oeil de faucon J’observe la flore et faune Du printemps aux flocons Petits pots de bonté La ciboulette est plantée Mais aussitôt d’avancer Les pucerons sont implantés Dégoûté par la vue Mais ans que je l’ai su Une predatrice à l’affut Un oeuf elle avait pendu Le lendemain je guette Je continue mon enquête Je vois apparaitre Une espèce de drôle de bête Trapu poilu pointu je suis vaincu Je voulais la chasser, l’écraser mais je l’ai pas fait Sans que je m’en mêle La bête a fait du zèle Les puces dans sa gamelle Originelle, elle se révèle en coccinelle La vie n’est pas belle Elle n’est pas éternelle Elle laisse ses séquelles Elle menace et harcèle La vie n’est pas belle Elle n’est pas éternelle Elle laisse ses séquelles Elle menace et harcèle

about

MCMLXXIX is perhaps some of my most adventurous work yet, in that it delves into many different directions and strays from the typical Ghostown trajectory.
Embracing the French language for the first time in an official release on 5 of the tracks brings a new flavour to the menu.
The album is tinged with political underlying social commentary (RMISTE, Breathe Together, T'inquiète)
Carcasse offers a bleak look at not accepting growing old and decrepit
Klikaput (pute à click - clickbait) is an ironic scathing attack on our social media world of self promotion
MCMLXXIX is my year of birth
