Circus 04:07
Ladies and gentlemen Today is Sunday and tonight, Under the magic tent, you will see… Marvellous animals coming far from here …and special music such as Cassandra’s sons & the Bastards Band I have to say… Welcome to the circus! Children, have you ever seen A girl as lion Who with her bear Deceives the tamer in the cage? Please, attention to the clown He offers a bit of cake before he stamps it on his face somebody flies inside the tent Behind mountains, Macondo streets wait for caravans to the world of walking dreams Flights and smiles and the cannonball. Freaks are business, is our life the real one? Applaud me, Applaud me, Applaud me, The tent will cover us tonight Applaud me, Applaud me, Applaud me, When the lights and sound go off Applaud me with my animals, Fancy trapezers and clowns. Gathering at Jumbo’s home come to enjoy the show (bis 2) + Bridge + Refrain Parents have you ever been beside the dancers who with their feet ..... Crowd's....... The costumes are our clothes The mask is our face and our roots come with the tent the won't stop at any place

At six my hands held to a plow Spiked dad’s bottles scared me so Mother tucked me in with her soft songs No she had no choice Time would not be kind again dreams would vanish in the rain alone and cold I felt as I found fire and learnt to raise my voice And now, we still hold on to doubt Here we'll stay and shout with friends that take the hoes in call for fire we'll stand up to inspire Awe for fear no more (tell us what to sing!) Singing that last breath (many of us are here!) Human we'll remain (stand for us and) Lived and loved Our hands are still all that we have [And] we’ve not forgotten how to laugh Brave we stand and though it is not easy We’ve learnt to raise our voice! And now, we still hold on to doubt Here we'll stay and shout with friends that take the hoes in call for fire we'll stand up to inspire

Dark Octopus 04:38
I saw your skinny arm Grab a pencil Excuse me I smiled I laughed My glass was empty You’re lovely when you try playing your guitar, Like a phony clown looking serious Turn it on, it’s gonna be all right The only way is trying beyond the night The way is paved, enjoy this sort of fight-it-it The only way is playing and doing it right And I dream every night about octopus Its arms play our drums and the accordion at the same time I dance every night with dark octopus Shine… in Laura Palmer’s club We went on a trip, we never dared before On the way we found bastards on the road In a flying van where the fools are kings We have cut the ropes that tied our wings Turn it on, it’s gonna be all right The only way is trying beyond the night The way is paved, enjoy this sort of fight-it-it The only way is play and doing it right And I dream every night about octopus Its arms play our drums and the accordion at the same time I dance every night with dark octopus Shine… in Laura Palmer’s club

Mil vuit-cents noranta-tres és l'any en què el Josep fulleja una revista modernista en un cafè Avui el Josep ha decidit amb una copa de Pastís que ja és hora d'arriscar-se per fi anar-se'n a París I no sap si ha fet bé en marxar com si res (Bridge) I és que París és tan gran més si no parles francès (Estribill!) (ell creu que) sempre serà jove que li queda temps per tot però li espera una sorpresa: que estarà... sempre sol. Un cop ja arriba l'hivern s'ha acostumat als carrers a les nits llargues i fredes de galledes i pinzells. Però el temps passa pel Josep entre quadres i bordells i aprèn que no li fan falta dones, fama, ni calers. (estrofa nova, com a la primera part) Sap que res pot durar que serà oblidat. (bridge 2) I és que tot se li fa estrany aquesta nit al Pont des Arts. (estribill 2) (Veu que no) tornarà a ser jove que aquell ja no és el seu temps que no queden més sorpreses que no ho vol... però s'ha fet vell (INSTRUMENTAL) (bridge 3) L'home del mirall del riu mentre recorda somriu (Dr. Estribill 3) (i pensa en) aquell gran viatge en els pits de l'Amandine en el traç d'algun paisatge tants records de quan creia que era jove i quedava temps per tot i esperant una sorpresa es va quedar... sempre sol.

Late nights take a toll and it’s not so clear That once long ago you felt alive You hide all alone wear your proud veneer You stand you’re head tall and you will not shrive So long, have you lost your almighty fear? I sense that your soul’s (has) taken a dive The doors are unlocked, take that step my dear Takes strength to wannna thrive What you say You come our way And drink your freedom away Left to the wild The rare side of men We’ll die like them anyway - (M) Where are you from, where (do) you belong? Your roots, your boots, your feet are strong - (A) I sailed the ship now I’m asleep Let’s seize the day - (A) That train is mine, you want a ride? Mysterious man pours us some wine - (M) You’re waking life -you're ready, jump- Reaches the station now
