Two, Three or Five (lyrics by Yann Cleary)
Two, Three or Five
Green tea, dark or white
Pink sand, yellow and bright, Several minutes pass by
Two, Three or Five
Minutes to hide
Reanimated from dry, Green leaves rising
As molecules rearrange, internal heat arises
This momentary trickle, tickles, disappears, like nothing ever happened
Two, Three or Five
Flowers drift into the light
Heavy hearts out of sight, Branching out into the sun
Ni, San Go-kai
As our lives fall short
They flutter to the ground, Full bloom matters not now
As molecules rearrange, the past is ever present
This bittersweet fickle, tickles, disappears, like nothing ever happened
Two, Three or Five
Burry Gods into the sand
Circles, dot, patterns and signs, Erase and never go back
Two, Three or Five
Off to the river to wash
There' nothing to catch, only new leaves turning
Two, Three or Five (2 or 3 or 5 minutes could make me feel real high)
Two, Three or Five (2 or 3 or 5 flowers could bring me back to life)

Come On Johnny (Lyrics by Xavier Mathès)
Oh Johnny fucking Marr
It's been a long time
I haven't heard your guitar Come On Johnny
Won't you play for me: Oh Come On Johnny
There's something in my heart falling apart
But there'll always be a light and it won't ever go out
Oh Come On Johnny
Oh Johnny fucking Marr
It's been a long time
I haven't heard your guitar Come On Johnny
Won't you play for me: Oh Come On Johnny
There's a strange fear in my heart, but I'll get by
Cause there'll always be a light and it won't ever go out
Oh Come On Johnny
Oh Come On Johnny
Oh Johnny Come On
Come On Johnny (it's been a long time)
Come On Johnny (it's been a long time)

Time to Feel Alright (Lyrics by Xavier Mathès)
Think about the world we live in
Been thinking about it for a while
This world is sick but it is spinning
And we can make it better somehow
Say hello to a brand-new morning
Starting up right now
turn off the TV, switch off your phone, it’s
Time for us to feel alright
The wind is gently blowing
It’s getting warm outside
The summer sun’s shining
Out of the clear blue sky
It’s time to feel alright
Think about the world we live in
Been thinking about it for a while
Don’t waste your time holding on the past
And try to look at the bright side
Say hello to a brand-new morning
Starting up right now
If you want to change the world outside
First try to change the way you are/just who you are

MCMLXXXIV (1984) (Lyrics by Xavier Mathès)
Don’t be proud, don’t talk too loud
Don’t toe the line, don’t speak your mind
Don’t you even hope to step out of the crowd
Forget ‘bout the dreams you had
Cause no-one cares just who you are
Feel sorry for the life you wished you had
It’s getting hard to be someone
It’s getting hard but just hold-on
Feels like we’re back in 1984
***
Don’t be proud, don’t talk too loud
Don’t toe the line, don’t speak your mind
Don’t you even hope to step out of the crowd
You don’t understand, well, trust our plans
Don’t waste our time, it’ll be just fine
Soon you’ll learn our lies are worth the pain
It’s getting hard to be someone
It’s getting hard but just hold-on
Feels like we’re back in 1984
