KNEEJERK LYRICS

"Everything Starts To Melt"

The first dawn for half of the year,
My words the first cuckoo.
Now the springtime, here comes the summer.
I can feel the frost cracking under my feet
As the fresh spring rains patter a beat
And I know that things are starting to change.
And sap like blood flows through my veins
As I hear the flowers start to open again
And there's life here all around.
The grass grows around me and lifts me clear
And redeems the baby stalks that my heavy feet were crushing.
And the birds sing a tune the people know
(we know this tune all too fucking well).
And I remember the winter,
How we hibernated to escape the season's grasp of grey.
Morning has broken.
Break in half the first half of the day,
Smash the ice-sheets that denied us light and start to grow.
I feel the prick of pins underneath my unblemished skin.
Red fluid-soaked quills push their way through my epidermis.
My feather's fluff themselves in the cold morning atmosphere.
I spread my wings like god over the dark abyss and fall.
Here comes the summer, the season's end.
And all the crowds sing in unison: "no pasaran".
[Chris:] un flocon de neige doux, porté par un vent cruel,
Se posa sur ma langue et me remplit de joie.
Exactement comme je le remplit de dégout.
(a soft snowflake, carried by a cruel wind,
Landed on my tongue and filled me with joy,
Just as I filled it with disgust)
[Ben:] this is the springtime of our revolution...
It's-time-to-save-the-world-from-man.
[Everyone:] and all that we ask is but one simple chance
To set up our lives with a little romance,
And if needs be we'll throw up the old barricades a
Nd we'll fight till the strength in our fingers fade
