Stereolab Peng Lyrics
1.Enivrez-vous

Il faut re toujours ivre. tout est l?:c'est l'unique question.
pour ne pas sentir l'horrible fardeau du temps qui brise vos
aules et vous penche vers la terre, il faut vous enivrer sans
Ve. mais de quoi ? de vin, de poie ou de vertu, ?votre guise.
mais enivrez-vous. et si quelquefois, sur les marches d'un
palais, sur l'herbe verte d'un foss? dans la solitude morne de
vot
Ambre, vous vous reillez, l'ivresse d?diminu ou disparue,
demandez au vent, ?la vague, ?l'oile, ?l'oiseau, ?l'horloge,
?tout ce qui fuit, ?tout ce qui git, ?tout c
Roule, ?tout ce qui chante, ?tout ce qui parle, demandez quelle
heure il est ; et le vent, la vague, l'oile, l'oiseau,
l'horloge, vous rondront:'il est l'heure de s'enivrer ! po
re pas les esclaves martyris du temps, enivrez-vous;
enivrez-vous sans cesse ! de vin, de poie ou de vertu, ?votre
guise.'

And the translation:
Get drunk!

One should always be drunk. that's all that matters: that's our
one imperative need. so as not to feel time's horrible burden
that breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk
wit
Ceasing. but what with? with wine, with poetry, or with virtue,
as you choose. but get drunk. and if, at some time, on the steps
of a palace, in the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak
solitude
Our room, you are waking up when drunkeness has already abated,
ask the wind, the wave, a star, the clock, all that which flees,
all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that which
sings
That which speaks, ask them what time it is; and the wind, the
wave, the star, the bird, the clock will reply: 'it is time to
get drunk! so that you may not be the martyred slaves of time,
Drunk, get drunk, and never pause for rest! with wine, with
poetry, or with vitrtue, as you choose!'


2.K-stars

they were young
In their mid-twenties
Some in their teens
They were intelligent
And some believed
Were geniuses
They were passionate
Wildly in love
Adventurous
Well they were exuberant
Capable of hate
Extreme anger

They were drawn
Towards the exceptional
They avoided work
But worked hard on their laziness
And evermore
It seems they walked
Wandering through paris
Was a genuine art
While searching new ways out.


3.Mellotron

Au point illimit?Au point illimit?
La sensualit?Noy dans la tendresse
Est illimit

Mellotron

At the unlimited point
At the unlimited point

The sensuality
Drowned in tenderness
Is unlimited


4.Orgiastic

Confuse forms, unleashing of passions
Confuse forms, by means of inversion
Emotions carried to the extremes
Orgiastic of chaos of supreme

Has to bring the world's dissolution
In a momentary disruption
Although the moment seems definitive
The urge to escape from time into pas-time

Opposites in juxtaposition
While the orgy lasts ultimate fulfillment
Timelessness of eternal moment
The beginning, the end transmutation


5.Peng! 33

Curiosity was far greater than our fear
It felt so simple and so prodigious at the same time

Incredible things are happening in the world
Magical things are happening in this world

Across the river there are all kinds of magical instruments
While really we keep on living like monkeys

Incredible things are happening in the world
Magical things are happening in this world


6.Perversion

In our christian society
There's something wrong with having pleasure
Pleasure more precisely is called sin
Therefore our well thinking citizens
Have decided it was best to hide, deny pleasures (such as sex,
drugs)
Out of the repression of pleasure
Something logically same into the light
Somthing much graver than sex, drugs :
Perversion could only entail regression
Of a civilisation that would avoid mastering anxiety,
That would corrupt the truth,
Corrupt behaviour


7.Stomach Worm


8.Super Falling Star

The strange setting of our story
Re-presented:nothing but a super falling star
The landscape was no mystery
The idea of a mind so vain, at the point of infinity

Seen and i've heard it
(the creation)
Seen and i've heard it
(the creation)
...

Whatever enters the eye we'll see
Let their hand go for it, grasp it
It is stranger than the setting of it
It will leave them with a pounding dream

Seen and i've heard
(the creation)
...
The creation is in my eyes
The creation, the lies


9.Surrealchemist

Even more than philosophers
Aiming at no less than the total transformation of man and the
world
Begin with the dissolution of superfluous matters
So that desire and conciousness are free

New man, new woman proud and free
New man, new woman happy to be

True life embodying pleasure principle's noblest triumph
Over the cowering mendacity of bourgeois/christian civilisation


10.The Seeming And The Meaning *

Everything becomes so defined
That in the end there's no definition
They do not mean a thing
They do not tell a story

We communicate more and more
In more defined ways than ever before
But no one was got anything to say
It's all very poor it's all just a bore

Someone has got to make the difference
Between the seeming and the meaning

The seeming over runs the meaning

* dedicated to all the junk media


11.You Little Shits

There are worlds within the world
Within the world there are worlds

The situation is the universe of man
As the measure of all things
Understand that you are another world in miniature
And that in you there are the sun, the moon and also stars
Man as the messenger of being
By analogy flesh and bones of man derive from earth
His bloody from water, his breath from air
And body heat from fire
