Lyrics | Elise Boulanger

The Mariner's Remedy

I once met a man in a Mariner’s hat
In the undergrounds of a smoke-filled reverie
Ten strides back up to industrial Boom Boom Boom
He asked me to come his way
Fed me broken avant-garde memories
Had me choking on his charmed antiquities

Ahh Ahh
Then in the sweet morning hour
When the birds throats did flower songs upon us
The Kraken's opened me up at the bottom of the sea
Fukushima is in me
Cussed and cleaved by his sandalwooden skin
Take me in and drink me down
Take me in and drink me down

Ahh Ahh
That night full of nitrogen
Gentlemen burning up
So they can float away into the sea
If you meet a man in a Mariner’s hat
You’ll never see him again
Cause he’s swallowed by the sea

ENGLISH LYRICS

I saw you marching to the Bastille

Oh, what's he gonna do to me?

Do you know what you'll do to me?

CHORUS

So, invite your friends, invite your friends, invite you friends Invite your friends, invite your friends, invite your friends Invite tes amis, invite tes amis, invite tes amis (x4)

And, slap on that Speedo, you French babe

Azure seasides, cigarettes et rosé

Inspire your peers

Confetti crimes, will the deserts ever rhyme?

Je ne parle pas bien le français

Malgré l'amour c’est un autre langue gai

CHORUS

I saw you marching to the Bastille (x9)

Oh, what's he gonna do to me?

Do you know what you did to me?

LYRICS - Elise Boulanger - Cigarettes et rosé.png

It Started in the Garden

It started in the garden

It started in the trees

You took me to the garden

And you took me to the trees

Put feathers in your pockets

You showed me ancient trees

I told you I was dangerous

Yet you still devoured me

CHORUS
If you hear them calling,

The wolves around your knees,

They remember that you fed me Nootka roses in the trees

Latency is ringing,

But the flowers are still sweet

I no longer hear you singing You no longer long for me

It ended in the garden

It ended in the trees

You took her to the garden

And you took her under the trees

CHORUS

Soon the trees will take you

While your ivy clings to me

Wrapped up in what was before

Pining melancholy sore

I will taste all of the roses, Nootka roses, sweet sweet roses

I will taste all of the roses

Hoping that they will help heal me

You can find me in the garden

You can find me in the trees

Eating roses in the garden

Hoping that you will come kiss

me

YRICS Elise Boulanger It Started in the Garden (2021).png

The Warming

The water is colourful in India, my dear

We went to China but couldn't see the sun for it disappeared

I hear everyone is going to the cities these days

Tell me, can you see the stories in the sky with all of the haze?

CHORUS

This is the warming

Melting mountains

People counting

Down, the animals down

The animals down

Can you even hear their sound?

This is not just a pretty song

This is what is really going on

So keep your water holy, holy, holy - smokes

The forests blowing, blowing, blowing - chokes

The fish now floating, floating, floating

We need the land and the seas

Go let them hold you

We need the birds (bzzz) and the bees

For their love story

Not just a once upon a time

We're on the brink, behold

We're on the brink, be bold

This is the warming

On Fire

It's burning out of control

We should have listened

I'm yearning for something whole

For something whole

Feel the static in the air

For there's lightning that you bear

Up above the sky is red

Up above it cracks. It's bled

And all the world's on fire (x2)

It's time for change

So we can stay alive

We cannot stay the same

We have to change our lives

Feel the static in the air

For there's lightning that you bear

Up above the sky is red

Up above it cracks. It's bled

And all the world's on fire (x4)

On fire

Fire

And all the world's on fire (x2)
