Walden Pond 05:04
Walden Pond Well the night’s fallin’ in so slowly There’s a heart pounding wild and so strong You’re sending out for smiles Or maybe even more You’d like to speak, it’s strange, but you just can’t. See the trees loose their green and now they’re coloured You’ve been running all day and you just couldn’t perceive Ideas are filling the air What are you trying to say? What are you trying to find or hoping to see? In the backstreets of a fast movin’ town Where hearts are buried right before they’re grown Where love is traded for dreams Or for a vacant place You’re looking for someone who’s really there. Well the night’s fallin’ in so slowly There’s a heart pounding wild and so strong You’re sending out for smiles Or maybe even more You’d like to speak, it’s strange, but you just can’t. Chorus Meet me tonight at Walden Pond Meet me tonight under the stars Meet me tonight wherever you like But please meet me tonight. Meet me tonight at the gas station Meet me tonight at the library Meet me tonight, wherever you like But please meet me tonight.

Cradle Song 03:09
Cradle Song (Franz Schubert/Johann Gabriel Seidl) 
How your eyes’ childlike heaven Easily closing, laden with sleep! How your eyes’ childlike heaven Easily closing, laden with sleep! Once you close them, draws you the earth Inside is heaven, outside there is joy! Inside is heaven, outside there is joy! How your cheeks glow red with sleep Roses from Eden have breathed upon them. How your cheeks glow red with sleep Roses from Eden have breathed upon them. Roses your cheeks, heaven your eyes, Cloudless morning, heavenly day! Cloudless morning, heavenly day! Just as an angel has folded your hands, So may you fold them before you rest! Just as an angel has folded your hands, So may you fold them before you rest! Fair are your dreams, when we have prayed, And our awaking rewards us with a dream. And our awaking rewards us with a dream.

Marine Le Pen Well, Marine drove up for a while To some northern industrial place It was time, she thought, to reflect on her past And she would not be moving back. In a long and lasting conversion In the shadows of some mall You could see her sneak like a rickety crack That’s been mirrored on these walls. As a young girl having intentions In a strange and promising land There was a lot of talking and misunderstanding And the endings were never planned. All the steel workers gathered around In a broke down clashing dream With these smoke stacks, coal piles and enormous buildings And all these blown out machines. There was a longing for information On all these streets nearby A week of promising payments closed To an immaculate Saturday sky. At the old industrial heartland Reporting authorities came They were all entitled with moral salvation And offering phrases of fame. Chorus: Oh Marine, oh Marine What has happened and what have you seen? Is it true you went to America To appear in a musical film?
