lyrics

Here comes the Monday
Where had you been lady?
It feels like you and I
Just crossed the rubicon

Now remember Sophie
The one you called Betty
Every awkward feeling needs a blush response

Now d'you remember Sophie?
Where had you been lately?
I pictured you in town
With all your blush response

Here comes the Monday
Where Bettys and Sophies
Will walk over the bridge
Across the rubicon

Cos'

Here comes the day
When you'll hurt yourself
Hurt myself
There's no way round
So go figure
Here comes the day
When you'll squeeze the pain
Go insane
I'll bide my time
No wonder

Now she or they are facing the inescapable
Every contact leaves a bludgeoned trace
It shouldn't be too hard to be smart in a patio
But how do you do it
With your kids to face?

Now here comes the Monday
So where had you been lady?
It feels like you and I
Just crossed the rubicon

Here comes the day
When you'll hurt yourself
Hurt myself
There's no way round
So go figure
Here comes the day
When you'll squeeze the pain
Go insane
I'll bide my time
No wonder


How can I get to the place
Where I can help them
Where I
Can get them healing?
But I'm no better than them
I'm one of the Sophies
Around
And I just can't help it


How can I get to the place
Where I can help them
Where I
Can get them healing?
But I'm no better than them
I'm one of the Sophies
Around
And I just can't help it

Here comes the day
When you'll hurt yourself
Hurt myself
There's no way round
So go figure
Here comes the day
When you'll squeeze the pain
Go insane
I'll bide my time
No wonder

Here comes the day
When you'll hurt yourself
Hurt myself
There's no way round
So go figure
Here comes the day
When you'll squeeze the pain
Go insane
I'll bide my time
No wonder

about

X&Y image

X&Y Paris, France

X&Y is like a love story.
Obvious and tortured.
Sweet and aggressive.
Melodic and raw.
It's the art of contradiction, a reflect on our dualities.
