Mars Audiac Quintet

Stereolab Mars Audiac Quintet Lyrics
1.3d Melodie

Hideous on the edge of a precipice
Their cavity filled up with forgetfulness
We know there's no retribution, only war
<>
Their society overtly ...

The meaning of existence can't be supplied by religion or
ideology
<>
<>
<>

Left to all the creativity we must find
The real significance that good and fearless defined
<>

Their sense or nonsense that will emerge on a precipice
It's only the impact of the creative activity


2.Anamorphose

Il n'y a rien de,
De plus vrai que,
De plus vrai que le,
Plus vrai que le souffle,
Il n'y a rien de,
Plus vrai que le souffle.
Anamorphose

There is nothing,
More real than,
More real than the,
More real than the breathing,
There is nothing,
More real than the breathing.


3.Des oiles ectroniques

Les villes vues d'avion sont semblables
Les villes vues d'avion sont semblables
?des oiles troniques
Qui sont ras au sol pour prendre racine
Et vivre ainsi al.

Translation
Towns seen from an airplane
Look like electronic stars
That are squashed on the ground to take root
And to live spread out thus.


4.Fiery Yellow


5.International Colouring Contest

Into outer space with lucia pamela
The moon is the place where there's space for lucia
Into outer space with lucia pamela
The moon is the place where there's place for lucia

Before armstrong took his steps
She'd been there with friends
They took all instruments and
Recorded on the moon
Gathered variety of sound
From where the air is different

I'm so full of ideas
And here is a good one
Lucia has a dream
A dream that comes in colour of
International colouring
For your entry she's waiting

Into outer space with lucia pamela
The moon is the place where there's space for lucia
Into outer space with lucia pamela
The moon is the place where there's space for lucia


6.L'enfer Des Formes

De la me manie,
Que des filles un peu naes,
On se laisse faire,
Par la te du pays,

On s'en va comme des poltrons,
Vivant mal leur artement,
Entre otion et indiffence,
Entre rolte et dision,

On a le dir, on se dit il faut agir,
Mais cette lhet?inavouable,
Nous rend bien trop gouvernables,

On s'en va comme des poltrons,
Vivant mal leur artement,
Entre otion et indiffence,
Entre rolte et dision.

(whispered at the end of the song...)
On s'en va...
Hell of forms

In the same manner,
As girls a bit naive,
We are manipulated,
By the head of the(our)country,

We're behaving like cowards,
Ill at ease because of the separation,
Between emotion and indifference,
Between revolt and derision,

We feel the desire, we tell ourselves we must react,
But this shameful cowardness,
Makes us too easy to be controlled,

We're behaving like cowards,
Ill at ease because of the separation,
Between emotion and indifference,
Between revolt and derision.

(whispered at the end of the song...)
We're going away...


7.New Orthophony

Need to examine,
Uncritical times.


8.Nihilist Assault Group


9.Outer Accelerator

In whatever society,
There invariably,
Will seem to be,
Just a few men,
Keen to rule;
Overwhelming,
The majority,
Will assent and
Allow them to do so.


10.Ping Pong

It's alright 'cos the historical pattern has shown
How the economical cycle tends to revolve
In a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
A slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more

Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery

You see the recovery always comes 'round again
There's nothing to worry for things will look after themselves
It's alright recovery always comes 'round again
There's nothing to worry if things can only get better

There's only millions that lose their jobs and homes and
sometimes accents
There's only millions that die in their bloody wars, it's
alright

It's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that
they are losing
It's only their lives and the lives of their next of kin that
they are losing

It's alright 'cos the historical pattern has shown
How the economical cycle tends to revolve
In a round of decades three stages stand out in a loop
A slump and war then peel back to square one and back for more

Bigger slump and bigger wars and a smaller recovery
Huger slump and greater wars and a shallower recovery

Don't worry be happy things will get better naturally
Don't worry shut up sit down go with it and be happy

Dum, dum, dum, de dum dum, de duh de duh de dum dum dum... ah ah
Dum, dum, dum, de dum dum, de duh de duh de dum dum dum... ah ah


11.Three Longers Later

Papa, maman, mes fres et moi
oulions des jours
Tantot tranquilles, tant agit
D'une vie familliale bien banale

Le facteur les jours de semaine
Glissait le courrier dans la boite
Ce matin l? mon pe fut ble
Mais qu'avait-il dans les mains?

L'enveloppe marron ?en-te
De l'administration d'at
Avait pour horrible reque
De recruter des soldats.

On me convoque dans cette lettre
Pour aller rependre la paix
On me dit que tout l'arsenal
Est sorti ?cet effet.

Au nom de, l'humanit?nous supprimerons des milliers
De familles afin de
Les proter contre eux-mes
Three longers later

Daddy, momma, my brothers and me
Living the days
Sometimes quiet
Sometimes excited
One common family's existence

The postman on weekdays
Placed the mail in the box
This morning- my father is red
But what does he have in his hands?

The brown envelope concieved
By the state administration
Had made for this horrible request:
To recruit sodiers

They told me that the letter was
To go out and bring peace
The told me all the weapons
Were going for that effect

In the name of the humanity
We'll suppress thousands
Of families in order to
Protect them against themselves.


12.Transona Five

They are one of the same,
Two inevitables,
Two inevitables,
We can't avoid dying,
Bursting through our barriers,
They are one of the same,
Two inevitables.


13.Transporte Sans Bouger

Dans ce long linceul
Le reve virtuel
On se fait tres seul
Non pas la plus belle
Mais la pire
Des ??????????

(second voice,
With a very strange accent!)

Maladie des sens
Cinq sens...experience
Innocence...des experience

(chorus)
Plus besoin de connaitre son voisin
Le bouton de toute puissance
Non plus besoin d'etablir des liens
Je fais l'amour a distance...

La vitesse qui resume a rien
Renie ce que c'est d'etre humain (x2)

(and then again from the top...)

Non plus besoin d'etablir des liens
Pas besoin...

Transporte sans bouger
Transported without moving

In this long shroud
The virtual dream
We feel lonely
Not the best
But the worst
Of....???

(second voice,
With a very strange accent!)

Sickness of the perception
Five senses experience
Innocence of the experiences.

(chorus)
No need to know your neighbours
The all-powerful key
No need anymore to link up
I make love from a distance...

The speed that amounts to nothing
Disown what it is to be human...(x2)

(and then again from the top...)

No need to link up anymore
No need to...

Carried away without moving.


14.Wow And Flutter

I didn't question i didn't know,
As far as i'd seen life was endless,
When i realised i had to let go,
We are mere mortals,
As to the rest,
It's not eternal, imperishable,
While on the move,
It's not eternal, interminable,
Progress is the clue,

I though ibm was born with the world,
The us flag would float forever,
The cold opponent did pack away,
The capital will have to follow,
It's not eternal, imperishable,
Oh yes it will go,
It's not eternal, imperishable,
The dinosaur law,

Look at the symbols, they are alive,
They move evolve and then they die.
