IT'S TOO LATE FOR DRUGS AND PLAYING WITH GUNS OR BEING A STAR TOO LATE FOR A NEW CAR OUR MONOCHROME LIFE DAYDREAMING OF STARS
2.
Looking for a car crash I close my eyes, my eyes I forget to slow, to slow down Then I brake hard, brake hard I don’t wanna do a stroke Wanna pull out on the stops I take shoulders, Speed ramps and some sleeping policemen Gusty winds hold me up Mesmerized by whites Solids and broken lines Get over mars, so far Don’t want to pull back in This straight piece of road, road Oh can't we make it up ? Can I redeem myself? I'm just driving my car Give a dog a bad name and hang him, hang him

Oh my poor sick little girl our story has suddenly an old and wrinkled soul now get out my freakie my freakie yeah I don't want to fight I'm so tired I'm just exhausted I'm tired and we're fucking lost I'm a lot confused don't wanna freak you but we're really lost love's completly gone

GO ROTTEN 02:22
Suddenly, all seems to me So bored, mouldy, unreal I want to flee now, to fly away I need to rest now Your exertions are not more Than dressing on a gaping, on a gaping cut Everything is collapsing and Everything is wearing away Life is crumbling away from here Beautiful life is caving in The wave of joy is outdated Our little life is rotten / rottenness I’ m really not evil-minded I can’t, just can’t anymore Your strains are an ointment on / On a wide-open wound We have a weary lung for two Give us more than morphine
5.
I’M TRYING TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOU I SWEAR THAT I’M TRYING TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOU I HAVE TO MOURN THE GRIEF OF MY LIFE WHY IS THIS GOODBYE A GRIEF GOODBYE A GRIEF

Oh it’s something on your chin 
Oh it’s something on your chin 
 I can see it trembling 
 I can see it trembling, slightly 
 You got 
 A disgusting liar’s chin 
 A disgusting liar’s 
 A disgusting liar’s 
 Chin and 
 You can 
 You can confess it to me 
 I know your eyes like mine 
I know your eyes like mine 
I 
already saw 
 Already saw this drab hood 
Sad, guilty and spiritless 
 The final revolting false / 
Falsehood 
 Even your
 Your cheek isn’t the same
 Your
 dimple has disappeared
 Dimple has disappeared
 Hey hey hey

 Your dimple has disappeared
 Confess to me that I
 Oh that I am despised
 Come on
I know 
I already know the truth 
Leave your deceitful story
 Oh your deceitful story 
Come on 
I want to 
I want to picture your eyes 
The dimple on your cheeks 
The dimple on your cheeks
 Just once
 Come on 
Leave your deceitful story 
I want to picture your 
I want to picture your 
 Eyes just once

KILLJOY 04:16
My clover I can't explain it , a killjoy, a vicious confusion and my fudge, graceful steam, my fullness it's like an overflowing, then yeah sure I slave away, but I pass away I stumble, I fail and I sway, my glen yeah sure I slave away, but I pass away I stumble, I fail and I sway, my glen I can't lie or cheat anymore just the carrion, sorrow of foundness My fudge, graceful steam, my fullness the sad prelude of love's break and yeah sure I slave away, but I pass away I stumble, I fail and I sway, my glen yeah sure I slave away, but I pass away I stumble, I fail and I sway, my glen

I need different words Leaving for other worlds I discover the murder I discover the lover I need different words Leaving for other worlds Black horses and a western To keep my eyes open, and I need different words Leaving for other worlds Boy and girl in a train A castle in Spain, yeah I need different words Leaving for other worlds I discover the murder I discover the lover I discover / I discover / I discover... I discover all

REVIEWS++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"It's a very hard album to describe and might just be one of my favorite things I have heard this year. There is darkness all over this record and it's the most luminous darkness I have ever experienced."
Webzine Zen and the Art of Face Punching / dec 2009

"How could one possibly capture the beauty that I hear with We Only Said. This is out of left field, if left field is Rennes, France. The group’s self titled album was produced by Bob Weston of Shellac fame and is a perfect soundtrack to every memory of love, warmth, beauty, sadness, hope, and smile you can remember."
Webzine Delusions of Adequacy / jan 2010

"We Only Said nous rappelle combien les mots et les notes, aussi douloureux soient-ils, sont peut-être les seules armes à notre disposition pour réécrire l'histoire et s'échapper vers de nouveaux horizons."
Magic ! n°137 / nov-dec 2009

"On se croirait à Chicago, mais c'est à Rennes que ce groupe savant dessine en tremblant ce rock sombre et soupe-au-lait qui déborde du chaudron magique."
Les Inrockuptibles n°733 / 16 dec 2009

"Ce superbe album s'est imposé d'une traite sans que l'on s'y attende (...). Un très bel univers, frappant par son côté sombre et sans fard. Saluons l'inspiration géniale."
Longueur d'Ondes n°52 / dec 2009

"Pour résumer We Only Said, on pourrait les comparer à un Tortoise qui aurait décidé de prendre un chanteur pour combattre l'ennui. Ce serait pourtant réducteur. Florian Marzano, leader et âme du groupe, possède sa propre personnalité, entre ombre et lumière, sans doute plus ouverte que celle des Chicagoans."
Tsugi n°26 / jan 2010

"We only Said provoque la mélancolie par la tension, soigne les plaies par les larmes, ouvre son cœur en le faisant physiquement (...). Confirmant des démos impressionnantes, We only Said place son spleen sur une bâtisse imprenable. A découvrir absolument."
Webzine A découvrir Absolument / jan 2010

"Ces dix titres bluffent par leur maturité, par toutes ces petites choses qu’on y découvre à chaque fois qu’on y revient (...). We Only Said aura tout fignolé jusque dans les moindres détails pour réussir une entrée fracassante."
Webzine Mowno / nov 2009

"We Only Said a du souffle. Déjoue les pièges. Pour la simple et bonne raison qu'ils ont les compositions qui tuent. Rien de tape à l'œil et d'évident. Juste cette fameuse petite flamme qui tire chaque morceau vers le haut. Celle qui fait relever le sourcil à la première écoute, qui vous donne envie de remettre ça, d'y revenir mine de rien, de vous chauffer encore et à la fin, vous révèle dix compos terriblement attachantes pour peu que le moment de la journée soit propice."
Webzine Perte et Fracas / fev 2010

"Leur pop hémophile, ils la font comme ils la sentent, pas comme il est indiqué de la faire. C’est cette part de sincérité qui te chope en premier par le colback, avant de te faire oublier quels sont les styles que tu tolères et ceux que tu ne tolères pas (ou plus), puis qui t’assied et te donne vite une seule envie, celle d’écouter cette musique magnifique, de découvrir ce monde mélancolique mais pas niais, et enfin et surtout de la fermer."
