La Amoureux

Park

Lover undo me
For weeks I've waited for your return
My head down
Eyes to the ground
My guess is a sure thing
You won't be back

Thank you for a month's worth of wooing
Your warm lips and my body for using
Six shades of mischievous gray
Sprinting through your skinny veins
It's no wonder my sense of perception
Is no better than a sailor in weather
So rough as to spill your guts
The sea swells up just enough, to keep your head up

Lover undo me
For weeks I've waited for your return
My head down
Eyes to the ground
My guess is a sure thing
You won't be back
You've all but consumed me
For days I pray for you to burn
I won't try to relive the nightlife
I had when I had you

Lot more of them need to fall
With eyes so soft and a livid cough she sighs
"Don't come near me
God damnit I am waving my colors of warning"
I am sorry darling
I'm just so sick of starving
You smile as I start my dive
Hands on hips, it parts your lips
Pushed to one side

Lover undo me
For weeks I've waited for your return
My head down
Eyes to the ground
My guess is a sure thing
You won't be back
You've all but consumed me
For days I pray for you to burn
I won't try to relive the nightlife
I had when I had you

And those six shades that I spoke of
Are just acts you try to pull off
Just as a cavity
Swallowing the things you need
Yet you skim what won't repeat
All demands what I've been asking
Your arms like a tragedy
Suffering from sun
I will cut myself off never to be turned back on

Lover undo me
(I will cut myself off never to be turned back on)
You've all but consumed me
(I will cut myself off never to be turned back on)
Lover undo me
(I will cut myself off never to be turned back on)

You'll end up starved out in some attic
Alone and afraid watching reruns of past times
Your hair falling out in heaps
The bridges you've burned
The ashes you keep

    La Amoureux translates roughly to "the one in love". I looked it up in an online translator, so it most likely isn't exact.

    LA AMOREAUX, NEED TO FALL With eyes so soft and a livid cough She sighs, "Don't come near me" Goddamnit, I am waving my colors of warning." I am sorry, darling. I'm just so sick of starving. You smile as I start my dive. Hands on hips and PARTIAL LIPS pushed to one side.

    yeah so what you have in capital letters are both wrong, andreaaaa. this is from the actual lyric sheet. its "La amoureux me defont" (its french) and "hands on hips impartial lips" try being right if you're going to correct somebody.

    "its no wonder my sense of perception is no better than a sailor in weather" this song is my favorite on the album. its beautiful yet sad. the translated "the one in love" makes sense in context to the song. he is in love with a drug addict. and he knows that no matter what he does she'll never come back.

    Yeah, it's "La Amoureux me defont", which was intended to mean "Lover, you destroy me", but it's really just jibberish. And it's "a labored cough", not a livid cough. The end of this song is the best part by far.

    I don't know a lick of French and that was immediately obvious to me. I wonder why every lyrics site on the entire internet has some silly line there instead of the (attempted, at least) French one? IT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE TITLE OF THE SONG, for goodness' sake!

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
