lyrics

Under My Shell

Under my shell
Where the skin's mild and smooth
I hide a place
Of tender warm flesh

Welcoming as a young tender shoot
Under the flexible pressure of your palm
Arrived in the course of a dull time
To reveal my senses at the root

I couldn't fall
Silent anymore
My life was in a vice
Tensing my skin on my bones

Making worrying and fierce
The cockrow at dawn and the stench of the ponds
Scaring every noise, everything,
Leading me to pray for a magic wand

Under my shell...
Under my shell...

Under my skin...
Stirred by squars in rythm
My body, my twin
Was tense as a reed

As under a green turtle's skeleton
At least delivering its fragility
Out of its hospitable peel
Free and staying out in the sun

I'll keep my shell
My shedding skin
In a quiet spot of my head
Only known from me

In place of it i'll wear this gracious truth
That's asking to be born again
And will be given a new youth
Under the caress of your hands

Under my shell...
Under my shell...

LookAt Lille, France

LookAt, c'est l'alchimie entre Catherine (chant), Jérôme (claviers), Bastien (basse), David (batterie) et Gil (guitare), dans un laboratoire musical où ils cuisinent leurs inspirations.
Une base de pop à la Beatles, un zeste de rock à la Bowie ou à la PJ Harvey, une pincée de jazz, de reggae ou de musique latine: pour un voyage musical qui s'invente dans une ambiance de courts-métrages...
