| One Thousand 20th Century Chairsカヒミ・カリィ | カヒミ・カリィ | Momus | Hirohisa Horie | | Moving house Moving out of the biggest disaster Time to move on now Move up to chinatown China town On the 29th floor of a building Looking up cos I'm Trying not to look straight down The 13th arrondissement Sitting by the window Thinking how I love this town I confess that I stole your book of a thousand chairs Tore it up, watched the pages fluttering through the air How satisfying it feels To tear a thousand chairs！ One thousand 20th century chairs I'm playing Beck Cos the architect I used to live with Never let me dance When I put on Odelay Odelay I'm alone, I'm insane but I'm happy You collected me But I got away How satisfying to tear And scatter through the air One thousand 20th century chairs！ My favourite chairs Are the ones in 'Zabriskie point' Exploding in slow motion Shootin up to the sky Coming down to earth Coming down to earth Coming down to earth Coming down |

| What Is Blue?カヒミ・カリィ | カヒミ・カリィ | Kahimi Karie | Hirohisa Horie | | I went to my place with weary feet The kitten was meowing, it was sweet Wet my corduroy, wet her tail We were drowning on the street Good-Bye But I always say Good-Night Good-Bye But I always say Good-Night So why blue sky makes me so blue I ride my bike and make a wind, I die away But now, he paints a lot of cloud in the sky To make it great, I can fly, I drift away Olds are swinging with whiskey And they say“Hello！” I sing to make a storm Blow away to the bottom 'Cause I am your pop up girl When you cry I do fly To get a cloud in the sky You can sleep in my cloud So, Good-Night！！！ I remember my bear I lost in Spain I know it is trash but it was pain My tired shoes, full of the rain I kick the sunshine, now I am a Queen！ Good-Bye But I always say Good-Night Good-bye But I always say Good-Night |
