Live Forever 04:14
Curse these eyes of wonder My body’s asunder She lit this new-born Sun Bless her, it has begun ! ‘Cause Light is coming over. And I shall Live Forever. Forever and ever.

Let me check on your tiny skull I’d like to crack it open, In my pocket, got a token Says I’m the lucky mongrel Birds are singing on Pleasure Street, Even hobos have somethin’ to eat As I’m holding her hand in God’s Park, Breathing thin air, dogs joyfully bark And nothing could trouble this calm sea Not even the sight of a dying tree Standing in the middle, like a warning Telling me ‘bout the upcoming mourning Let me check on your pretty face I’d love to see it broken, In my pocket, got a token And it says I’m the King of Ace « I can see you » she said, « I can hear your dirty thoughts from here And guess what, guess what darling ? Well I have the same, you arrogant fuck, you think I don’t know ? You think I don’t fucking know you ? « My sorrow tastes bitter than yours » she said, « My sorrow tastes bitter than yours. » So birds suddenly stopped their singing And God gave up on his slave, As I remain silent as a grave. If I strike now, there’ll be no healing. « You always ruin everything, why don’t you say nothing you self-rejoyed idiot ? You miserable self-inflated prick, you stupid, stupid asshole, you know what ? » « My sorrow tastes bitter than yours » she said. So I smiled and I told myself ; « My mind is much sicker than yours, babe, « My mind is much sicker than yours.

Could have been great I can’t relate Don’t blame your fate, no Say it’s « Love & Hate » Now you should be glad I escaped that curse Me as a patient, You as my nurse The Goat was here Now, the coast is clear Don’t shed a tear Lion’s to fear Well, I know you wanted Satisfaction Should have called a tamer Bring you some action It wasn’t that bad Trust me, I’ve seen worse Don’t act so sad, I’ll spare you this last verse No hard feelings The Goat was near Now, the coast is clear Don’t shed a tear Lion’s to fear No hard feelings One lost, ten found No hard feelings There are still nine No hard feelings.

Loin du rivage, sont à la nage. Bien belle image : Les amoureux Au coeur d’un feu si douloureux Impitoyable, l’immense mer Dissout, digère Les deux amants, Le ciel regarde, si calmement. Ils se noient Au loin, là-bas. Ils se noient Et s’enfoncent, las. Les berges sont loin, le souffle éteint Leurs poumons, pleins Les fautes expiées Vive les mariés, ils n’ont plus pied. Ils se noient Coulent ici-bas Ils se noient, Au r’voir la joie. Pas de radeau, ni de sanglots, Ils sont sous l’eau. Pas de prière, Aucune clairière ou bouteille d’air. Se lâchent la main, geste incertain, Cruel destin, Funeste sort. Et leur coeur dort ; L’Amour est Mort. Ils se noient Fini l’émoi Ils se noient Adieu, cette fois.

Who cares what they say ? We should take ‘em away Casket open Jaws be broken We’re ready to slay These men of clay Can't be no such thing Blow your whistle, King Who cares what they say ? We should take em away Can't be no such thing Blow your whistle, King Who cares what they say ? We should take ‘em away We’re ready to slay These men of clay Cast' em away. There’ll be no such thing Blow your whistle, King Cast ’em away.

You built the highest castle No child could ever climb Terrified with reverence As the lowest vassal The mightiest of giants Godlike in every way It is pointless to pray You were never divine Home devoid of solace Your shadow for sole light Haunted by distant gaze Begging for your embrace This boy can’t hit you anymore I sit upon a throne Carved from sorrow, and pride Your suffering is now mine I stole your shattered crown A machine turning sons Into frailest tyrants Yet, its gears won't maim me Nor bind me in irons Home devoid of solace Your shadow for sole light Haunted by distant gaze Begging for your embrace My knees remain unscathed From the bite of salt This boy can’t hit you anymore This boy can’t hit you anymore

about

"MY SORROW TASTES BITTER THAN YOURS" Official Video : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os76iEtIrlk

"Noisy (Rockin') Hardcore / Punk outfit VAUTOURS is now closing its EP Trilogy with their most mature, hybrid and tortured work to date : "LIVE FOREVER".

Adding distorted "pop" ingredients in their crude and strange Noise recipe, VAUTOURS gathers late 90's / early 2000's Noise Rock, Crust / Hardcore, Post-Rock and "metallic" Punk influences, blending Unwound and McLusky, Cult Leader and Young Widows into something hyper-versatile, silly-serious... And radically unique.

Plunge into this crude yet sparkling, bittersweet love letter now.
Cause you won't Live Forever (but you'll get what you want).

HAIL THE QUEEN, LIVE FOREVER !"

(Merci Satan !)

"Un EP qui, de titre en titre, va crescendo, et permet à VAUTOURS de prendre de la hauteur et de surtout inscrire cet EP dans l’anthologie de la Scène Rock Française." (RSTLSS Radio)

"Leaves a phenomenal impression and a heavy burden on the listeners [...] over the top dark cabaret type of expression." (Labandzi)
