Stereolab Cobra&Phases Group Play Volt Lyrics
1.Blips Drips And Strips

I pick up by the handful
The somber heap at my feet
Eyes closed to see the hopeful
Trusting my deepest instinct

I pick up by the handful
The somber heap at my feet
Eyes closed to see the hopeful
Trusting my deepest instinct

But i go on,
Dawning light,
Task of hope

???
Dawning light,
Task of hope
???

At last dare to raise my eyes,
I saw the ship in the stars
Strong of glittering fleet,
Bringing light to the new born

I pick up by the handful
The somber heap at my feet
Eyes closed to see the hopeful
Trusting my deepest instinct

At last dare to raise my eyes,
I saw the ship in the stars
Strong of glittering fleet,
Bringing light to the new born

In a dawn light,
Task of hope,
These are stars


2.Blue Milk

C'est l'image qui,
Vit dans le sang
Elle enfante eternellement
Aneantit toute la vie
Fusion de mondes universels

De l'esprit et du sang
De l'esprit et du sang

Et du sang
Source de bonheur
Qui c'est la fougue de la vie
Where's the father ou'est sa voir?
L'autre qu'on aime la fene tre du soi
Qui mele et qui associe les tendances

Cours vers la mer
Te donne une fin et un debut
Reconnais l'appel eperdu

De l'esprit et du sang
De l'esprit et du sang

Le rapport a la mort
Qui c'est la fougue de la vie

De l'esprit et du sang
De l'esprit et du sang

Blue milk
It is the image that lives in the blood
It gives birth eternally,obliterates all life
Fusion of universal worlds
>from spirit and blood
Source of happiness
Yes,it's the spirit of life
Where's the father
Where is his voice
The other that one loves
One's window that mingles and joins the sentiments
Running toward the sea,
Gives you an end and a beginning
Recognize the submerged call
The connection in death that is the spirit of life.


3.Caleidoscopic Gaze

All the women
Who understand
How natural
And good it is
To bare all clothes
And bring the smile of knowledge,
Try the freedom
That comes with it

With a smile,
Trumpets and drums
The desire
For meaning comes,
With a smile,
Trumpets and drums
The desire
For meaning comes,
...

Roaring inside her woman and anger
Roaring inside her woman and ire

Roaring inside her woman and anger
Roaring inside her woman and ire


4.Come And Play In The Milky Night

Led astray
Before the
Fragile defense of words
Come and stay
Bring the stars
Play in the milky night

Led astray
Before the
Fragile defense of words
Come and stay
Bring the stars
Play in the milky night
...


5.Emergency Kisses

Je donnerais cher,
Pour etre a nouveau
Asise sur un banc,
Au parc avec toi
Le fond de mon cour,
Etait radiation
La toutes les couleurs,
Une revelation
Le temps s'est age
Et la j'ai vu
Combien tes levres
Sont desirables
L'impalpable est
Devenu matiere
Il s'est clotie
Contre le vide

La tendresse aboutie
La violente carresse
Qui reveille
Dans mon etre
Chavire
Une enigme

The emergency kisses
I gave dearly, to become new
Sitting on a riverbank,
In the park with you
All the colours there
A revelation
The depth of my heart
Was radiation
Time grew older as i saw how desirable your lips are there,the
impalpable
Became matter
It is wrapped up against the void
The victorious tenderness
The violent caress
That awakes
Within me
Capsized
An enigma.


6.Free Design

Wher it had been left
Hundreds of years ago
Extract from the depth
Is but a setting sun paradise is scace
In this light that won't shine
What is our earthly task
But a worthy design?

Some held it in sight
For scattered it may have been
They're ready to fight
In a priceless inkling
The request is here
Ready to resurrect
What else can we do but recover the project

Our earthly design
Can be so detached
What crushes our desire
Not to be trapped
When the higher spheres
Tell us to and not to
Everyone agrees
Demanding more veto
Our earthly design
Can we be so detached
What crushes our desire
Not to be trapped?


7.Fuses


8.Galaxidion

Let us be wise and resigned
Let us be sweet and obedient
Let us be fit and guided
Let us be wise and let us submit

How sweet it is to obey and to carry out happiness
Whilst being appropriately unburdened by wise and worthy guides
Relieved from the heavy burden of responsibility
Responsibility for our direction of our behaviour
Which won't be necessary before the social laws of nature


9.Infinity Girl

New realities are conditions
Much to little for us to suffer
Because we don't know any better
There are a hundred ways to fall in step

New realities are conditions
Much to little for us to suffer
Because we don't know any better
There are a hundred ways to fall in step
Because for the past two hundred years
The wine drunk and the freedom proclaimed
O are dubious and laughable
Waiting to yield a new use of life

11.Op Hop Detonation

Suffer you little children,
Remain passive and fearful
Suffer don't grow out of it
Revel, and let's celebrate
The poor love of this poor world
The sad love the vampire

12.People Do It All The Time

Fragile rare occasion
Out of chaos a creation
Binding into one form
Lucid drunkeness
Aiming truth and openess
Baby you are a joy
I want you free when you grow boy
Revive the old idea that we carry

Binding into one form
Lucid drunkeness
Aiming truth and openess
Baby you are a joy
Nothingless
Truth and openess
Nothingless
But truth and openess

Revive the old idea that we carry


13.Puncture In The Radax Permutation

Lonely walker humanoid,
Listening to forgotten sounds
Tasting smells and colours,
Hiking mounts crossing rivers
Humble biped you've come undone,
You detached the mechanical
Freedom it inspires,
Fusing with your desire

Primal hiker lonely walker,
Rediscovering your own pace
Left here to go elsewhere,
Abandon all impatience

Reposess the senses,
Impression of freedom
Time doesn't know itself,
Has mingle path and dream
Animal survivor,
You belong to nature
Reposess the senses,
Impression of freedom
Time doesn't know itself,
Has mingle path and dream

Animal survivor,
You belong to nature
Reposess the senses,
Impression of freedom
Time doesn't know itself,
Has mingle path and dream
Animal survivor,
You belong to nature
Dreams of return to nature,
Barred with satellite dishes


14.Spiracles, The

La lumiere des jours
D'automne qui pene
Tre irremediablement
Et sans violence
La lumiere d'automne
Fragile dans son incandescence
Elle brille comme
Une force qui decoiffe l'ame

La lumiere des jours
D'automne etale
Les ombres du plus qu elles puissent se rependre
La lumiere d'automne
Qui aspire a la transcendance
Elle eblouit comme
Une force qui decoiffe l'ame

La lumiere des jours
D'automne qui pene
Tre irremediablement
Et sans violence
La lumiere d'automne
Fragile dans son incandescence
Elle brille comme
Une force qui decoiffe l'ame

The spiracles (translation)

The light of autumn days
Penetrating irreparably and without violence
The autumn light, delicate in its white-hot heat
It glows like a force which moves the soul

The light of autumn days puts the darker shadows on display that
can
Recapture themselves
The autumn light that aspires to transcendence,
It dazzles like a force that moves the soul.


15.Strobo Acceleration

Ou est la liberte de la femme
A l'abris dans ses appartements

Porquoi vouloir proteger nos dames
Cacher leurs corps en s'en excusant
Portant c'est bon
La liberte
Au plus profond
De la sensation

Ou est la liberte de la femme
A l'abris dans ses appartements

Ou est la liberte de la femme
Un soupire d'homme ne jette pas de flamme
Est-elle si febrile que meme les mots
La font s'eclater en mille morceaux?

Expression libre
Au cou robuste
L'esprit ou vibre
Ce qu il y'ade plus juste

Ou est la liberte de la femme
Un regard d'homme ne jette pas de lame

Strobo acceleration (translation)
Where is female emancipation
Sheltered in their flats
Why would we want to protect our women
To hide their bodies by apologizing for them
Yet it's good,liberty
In the deepest sense of feeling

Where is female emancipation
A sigh from man
Don't discard the flame
Is it so febrile
That those self-same words explode into a thousand pieces
The strong-necked (?) free expression
The vibrating spirit
It is this that is more right

Where is female emancipation
A look from man
Don't throw out the blade (?).


16.Velvet Water

Vois la vague se creuse comme la braise dans le vent
Vois la c'est ici qu a son aise il s'enfuit le temps,
Par moment
Quand le temps qui passe qui s'egard ne se retrouve pas
C'est la lumiere du sombre regard qui qui de mes pas,
Vain combat

Vois la vague se creuse comme la braise dans le vent
Vois la c'est ici qu a son aise il s'enfuit le temps,
Et pourtant
Quand il se devoile
L'eblouissement
De la flamme
Au corps nu

Quand le temps qui passe qui s'egard ne se retrouve pas
C'est la lumiere du sombre regard qui qui de mes pas,
Vain combat

Vois la vague se creuse comme la braise dans le vent
Vois la c'est ici qu a son aise il s'enfuit le temps,
Et pourtant
Quand il se devoile
L'eblouissement
De la flamme
Au corps nu
S'arrache a la nuit
Ou scintille l'ame
Du temps devolu
De la flamme
Au corps nu

C'est la flamme
Au corps nu
Celle quschintille l'ame
Le temps est devlu
La y brille une flamme
Le nageur n'a plus peur
Il plonge sous la lumiere
Vit dans les elements
Eperdu dans la mer
Sa bouche veut le sel

Velvet water (translation)
See the wave hollowing out like an ember in the wind
Look there,it's here that one is comfortable
Time runs away,now and then

When time that passes and loses its way can't find itself
It's the light or the shadowed look that guides my steps,vain
battle

And yet
When he/it reveals itself
The flame's dazzlement
In the naked body
Fighting in the night
Where does the soul of time
That is attached to the flame
In the naked body glow
( it's the flame
In the naked body
It's here that the soul glows
Time is attached
There where a flame burns
The swimmer is fearless
He dives beneath the light
Lives in the elements
Submerged in the sea
His mouth wants salt.)
