Défense d'afficher [English translation]

Seven at night

Losing the light

Now it’s half past

It’s almost dark

Waiting for you in shades of grey

I seem to hear what these walls say

No bills posted here

Rough carvings made

By someone’s blade

X has no guts

Death to the cops

To him and me

Half an hour late

Well I won’t be

Here till midnight

What insults call

From this grey wall?

Hatreds how strong?

Pain for how long?

Just staring into space

Won’t bring a change of place

Banners of laundry are all I see

So many white flags for what must be

No bills posted here (x2)

I guess I’ll have

To face the facts

Now eight at night

Losing the light

Now it’s half past

It’s almost dark

With no more sun, the time is here

When passers-by disappear

No bills posted here (x2)

Scrawls of the mad

Or of the bad

Will you keep

This date we had?

The daylight fails

You haven’t come

My soul feels numb

And my heart quails

Learn to waltz

In just five days

Jules loves Nicole

In capitals

A, B, C, D, E

F, G, H, S.H.I.T.

On the wall I’ve rubbed out the heart

I drew at the evening’s start

No bills posted here (x3)
