But with your mind



There’s a dream that I see, I pray it can be
Look cross the land, shake this land
A wish or a command
I Dream that I see, don’t kill it, it’s free
You’re just a man, you get what you can

We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We can all be free
Maybe not in words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

Listen to me, don’t walk that street
There’s always an end to it
Come and be free, you know who I am
We’re just living people

We won’t have a thing
So we’ve got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind

You’ve got to choose a wish or command
At the turn of the tide, is withering thee
Remember one thing, the dream you can see
Pray to be, shake this land

We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We won’t have a thing
So we’ve got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind


Cat Power - Maybe not
You Are free (Matador, 2003)

  1. Hi, I'm Brazilian and was looking for Dominique A's new album's lyrics when I found two of them posted on this blog. I enjoyed the short comments you've made over the album and also your blog as a whole thing, cause we have common tastes (antony and the johnsons, morissey, bon iver, bowerbirds, camus, cat power, cinéma, cocorosie, cézanne, dominique (that i discovered yesterday.late but not least), dostoievski, kandinsky, klimt, (I HAVE TO READ PROUST), magritte, modest mouse, noir désir).

    J'aime aussi quelques artistes que tu n'as pas mentioné, comme Bjork, Radiohead, placebo, colleen (french minimalist instrumentist), rufus wainwright / alain resnais, truffaut, gaspar noe / et, c'est claire, les artistes brésiliens: marisa monte, caetano veloso, elis regina, los hermanos, zeca baleiro, etc.

    Congratulations for your blog. Au revoir!

    I do not know much about brasilian music... except caetano veloso, and Cansei de Ser Sexy, off course!
