I've gone too long writing songs without passion I can't find no kind of satisfaction and I've gone too long with the wrong set of notions in my mind, in my mind... in my mind and it's strange but I don't mind these painful acts of kindness I am smiling in my head... let's leave this dangerous world behind us I am smiling in my head I've fallen so low but I couldn't go any higher if I tried, and I've tried... and now I'm tired and I am not my own; I won't settle for so little! when you could have so much more... so much more and it's strange but I don't mind these painful acts of kindness I am smiling in my head... and it's strange but I should thank you strange but I'll be frank you've found a place inside my head.

I am a hateful little child I am not innocent; I'm bad! and a shame... a shame I've got a dozen crocodiles all curled up in the sun like cats so tame... it's a shame with heavy heads they nudge my legs when they want some cuddles and attention they like to lie under the skylight where it's warm and nobody can reach them and this floor hates me now and this floor wants me gone! and this floor hates me now... and this floor wants me gone! come join me in the mezzanine I'm marinated in the dust I'm lost; I'm terrified let's enjoy a sip of grenadine and hope the dolls don't make a fuss about the rust that petrifies them... I tried on my mother's wedding dress it's white and dry as bone I'm swimming in a sea of heads trying! ...trying to find my own and if this floor hates me now if this floor wants me gone... if this floor hates me now if this floor wants me gone... if this floor hates me now... this floor will make me strong!

Aime-Moi 03:46
I am young, but I won't fall in love because love is chemical and difficult and if I could have just the physical I think I could live with that and I'll be done singing songs about love after I've seen what it's like being the reason you smile I won't need you inside; I won't scream I won't cry I won't cry! aime-moi aime-moi aime-moi aime-moi juste un jour juste une fois je ne serais là qu'un instant, alors aime-moi! aime-moi aime-moi aime-moi aime-moi juste un jour juste une fois... j'ai cru un instant que je t'aimais mais maintenant, je sais... que j'veux ton inspiration; j'veux garder ton odeur j'veux ta respiration tes mouvements ta sueur et j'men fous de tes passions tes désirs tes malheurs j'men fous de tes passions; j'vais te prendre ta chaleur aime-moi! aime-moi aime-moi aime-moi aime-moi juste un jour juste une fois je ne serais là qu'un instant, alors aime-moi! aime-moi aime-moi aime-moi aime-moi, je ne suis là que pour ça... et j'attends plus que toi! et j'men fous de tes passions; j'vais te prendre ta chaleur! j'men fous de tes passions; j'vais te prendre ta chaleur! j'men fous de tes passions; j'vais te prendre ta chaleur! j'men fous de tes passions; j'vais te prendre ta chaleur! aime moi... [french part translation] love me love me love me love me, just one day, just one time I will only be there for an instant, so love me! love me love me love me love me, just one day, just one time I thought for an instant that I loved you but now I know... that I want your inspirations; I want to keep your smell I want your breath, your movements, your sweat and I don't care about your passions, your desires, your misfortunes I don't care about your passions, I'll steal your warmth; so love me! love me love me love me love me, just one day, just one time I will only be there for an instant, so love me! love me love me love me love me; that's all I'm here for... and all I'm waiting for is you! and I don't care about your passions; I'll steal your warmth and I don't care about your passions; I'll steal your warmth and I don't care about your passions; I'll steal your warmth and I don't care about your passions; I'll steal your warmth love me...

about

'Like Honey' was recorded at 19 rue des Frigos—an old Parisian meat fridge complex turned artist squat. At the top of a 7-floors-high concrete stairwell that wraps around a now-empty elevator shaft—every inch covered in layers upon layers of beautiful graffiti—lies the UMJ (Jazz Musician's Union)... and a huge grand piano room. We brought in mics and cables and a computer and ProTools and sat down and recorded all the piano parts in 5 hours.

The other tracks were laid down a half-hour away in Montreuil, again with Guillaume Dulac mixing and editing and Alex Tran attacking the drums with robotic precision..

'Like Honey' consists of four dark-yet-upbeat songs that chronicle virgin steps into San Francisco and a lingering eye on Paris, with a piano-heavy bluesy rock feel.
