CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG: BEAUTY MARK AND 6 MORE
1. THE OPERATION
I want to explore you
i'm gonna get under your skin
so you can feel me running through your veins
i want to examine
every inch of your frame
the pressure points that cause your joy and pain
our love goes under the knife
there is no room for doubt
now i'm inside you
my hands can feel their way
further inside than i have ever been
now i can really
mess around with your heart
and fill it to the brim with broken dreams
our love goes under the knife
two lives may be saved
and if i pull this off
i'll refuse the Nobel prize
instead i will look into your eyes
if i pull this off your whole body will be mine
and i'm prepared to work throughout the night
our love goes under the knife
nothing is taboo
...here on the cutting edge of science
too much information
i feel i'm getting lost
absorbed into the fibre of your soul
deep within the abbatoir
of your entrails your insides
lost in you forever far from home
our love goes under the knife
someone got too close
our love goes under the knife
the heart was rejected by the host

2. LITTLE MONSTERS
In the playground
children sing their songs and skin their knees
play, little monsters, play
i remember doing just the same so many years ago
and the things they'd say
i could handle sticks and stones
but those words still break my bones
chorus
little monsters that rule the world
you don't know what you're really saying
stop before someone ends up getting hurt
can't you see that we're only playing
i remember i was just another monster without life
'til the day you came
dirty creatures, tiny animals that crawl towards the light
don't you ever change
chorus
little monsters that rule the world
you don't know what you're really saying
stop before someone ends up getting hurt
can't you see that we're only playing
one day you will have to go
you'll have to learn to live alone
chorus
i can't hold your hand anymore
i can't always kiss you better
time to stand on your own two feet
time to see just where they get you
deep inside i'm still the same
just one more little monster
making out that she knows the rules
a sincere imposter

3. BEAUTY MARK
I've got a beauty mark
written on my skin
close to my heart
my favourite part
my beauty mark
i keep it out of sight
safe from the world outside
this old battle scar
this secret part
my beauty mark
this little death
this mark of sin
forever printed on my skin
i'll keep it for you
this hidden place
this private part
this secret door into my heart
i'll keep it for you
this precious jewel
this darling bud
this tiny resevoir of blood
my beauty mark
i'll keep it for you

4. GREENWICH MEAN TIME
Crooked man down a crooked mile
Crooked backbone, crossed out smile
Crooked cat, crooked mouse
We live together in a crooked little house
We're all fine, we're all fine
We fit together like worms on a line
We're so good, we're so nice
We stick together like dirty horse flies
Crooked eyes, crooked tooth
Crooked mind bending back the truth
A crooked road on a crooked town
Looking down at the crumbs on the ground
We're all fine, we're all fine
We fit together like nickles on a dime
We're so good, we're so nice
We talk the mumbo jumbo Greenwich Mean Time
We're all fine, we're all fine
We fit together like nickles on a dime
We're so good, we're so nice
We talk the mumbo jumbo Greenwich Mean Time

5. HEAVEN CAN WAIT
She's sliding, she's sliding down to the depth of the world
She's fighting, she's fighting the urge to make a ....
Heaven can wait
and hell's too far ago
Somewhere between
what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
She's hiding, she's hiding on a battleship of baggage and bones
There's thunder, there's lightening in an avalanche of faces you know
Heaven can wait
and hell's too far ago
Somewhere between
what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground
You left your credentials in a greyhound station
with a first aid kit and a flashlight
Going to a ..... unknown
Heaven can wait
and hell's too far ago
Somewhere between
what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive that escalator into the ground

6. FIRE
Now come and stand
See the sights and warm your hands
And fan the flame inside of me
Been burning all my life
So come and set my house alight
Yeah, come and set my spirit free
Now all is ashes
This moribund parade of asses
So shake it one more time for me
So take these matches off of me
And set yourself on fire
Fire
Coffee at the floor
It seemed just like the day before
The waiter winked and smiled at me
The couple at the bar
He burned his britches, she burned her bra
Now somebody has burned the car
Sulphur in the air
And cracks appearing everywhere
Don't try to stop it, don't you dare
Now see,
That everything must fall that we may live again
So take these matches off of me
And set yourself on fire
Fire
Fire
Fire
Now it's so clear to me
This bonfire of the vanities
So come on everybody, scream
A purifying flame
And you and I can take the blame
A spirit that cannot be tamed
Now see,
That everything must fall that we may live again
So take these matches off of me
And set yourself on fire
Fire [x7]

7. MASTERS HANDS
(Hey hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey...)
Hold my head up, right foot back
Take my hands down, shake my back
Pull my strings and cut my rope
Rattle my frame and shatter my ghost
And if I can't get back in line
They're gonna break me down
Till the broad daylight comes through
Breathe out, come alive
Give me a reason to feel
Take my eyes and paint my bones
Drill my brain all full of holes
And patch it up before it leaks
These memories come two by three
And if I catch these master's hands
Could I spend my days on a discount revelry
Breathe out, come alive
Give me a reason to feel
