lyrics

A VIEW TO THE BACK OF THE 8 BALL

HE PLAYS HIS MOST FAMOUS PART
BUILDS HIS LEGEND BY THE DRUGSTORE
ON A PARKING LOT
GREASY HAIR, MITCHUM’S EYELIDS
UNDER TOPGUN GLASSES
AND HE’S SMOKING POT

TEDDY BOY, TEDDY BEAR
DON’T HAVE PRETTY MUCH TO SHARE
BUT SOME ALCOHOL
A LONELY SPEECH ABOUT THE PAST
AND A VIEW TO THE BACK
OF THE 8 BALL

DON’T KNOW WHY YOU CRY
FOR THIS LOSER
GOT NOTHING TO GET HIGH
WITH THIS SUCKER
TELL ME WHY YOU CRY
THEN DRY
YOUR BLUE SORE EYES
OR THEY CERTAINLY MAY LOSE THEIR COLOR

ALONG THE WALLS AND THE BRIDGES
AMONG THE TOUGH GUYS AND THE PUSSIES
HE’LL BE WALKING HOME
TO MEET HIS MUM AND THE LADIES
WITH THE SHORTBREADS AND THE TOFFIES
AND THE BUTTERSCONES

DON’T KNOW WHY YOU CRY
FOR THIS LOSER
GOT NOTHING TO GET HIGH
WITH THIS SUCKER
TELL ME WHY YOU CRY
THEN DRY
YOUR BLUE SORE EYES
OR THEY CERTAINLY MAY LOSE THEIR COLOR

I PLAY MY MOST FAMOUS PART
A STORYTELLER TRYING TO BULLSHIT HIS
BABYDOLL
BUT ONE THING I’M RELIABLE ON
IS THE VIEW TO THE BACK
OF THE 8 BALL

Grout/Grout Montpellier, France

Parenthèse récréative dans le parcours de l’artiste plasticien Sylvain Grout ? 
Il y aurait bien de cela dans le projet Grout/Grout, sauf que ce groupe de pop-folk en est tout de même à son 3° album.
Vu sous cet angle, Grout/Grout résonne comme une échappatoire : prendre le large sur des territoires régénérants.
Avec l'album Nyctinasty, la bande part pour un roadtrip, le coude sur la portière. ... more
