PILLS (a.k.a. PILLS & THRILLS)

Well I know that you have a lot of thrills, 
When you go out on saturday and take your pills. 
Well you know what I told you, 
One day you will have to stop before it's too late, 
Before it's too late! Yeah!...

No you don't really need such a drug
If you want to go dance all night in a nite-club!  
You look so paranoid, you act like a thug. 
You look like a rag. Oh! What a drag! 


Music & lyrics written by Arnaud Schmitz. 
Recorded by the last line-up of Heaven in April 2002. 
First released by Number Nine Experiment on the first EP: "No Time To Waste" (2004):



Originally written for Heaven, this song was played very often by different line-ups of Number Nine Experiment in concerts and was always featured on the tracklists through the years. 
It remained that way with Pentastar. In january 2008 they re-recorded it for their first LP: "Electrical Wire Chopped Inside": 





SPRING IS BACK

Can't you see the sun casting its movie again ? ... 
Can't you remember when we were insane ? ... 
Why don't you deal with what you feel ? ... 
Why don't you deal with what you feel ? ...  

We're thinking of the past with a bitter taste.
But we're still so dumb, even knowing ...
That there's no time to waste ! 
Why don't you deal with what you feel ? ... 
Why don't you deal with what you feel ? ...  

Why don't you deal with what you feel ? ... 
...

THIS FEELING

I am upset, because there's always clouds in my skies. 
I have lost the ability to be so casual. 
Is there some way to choose if we win or we lose, 
or we ever get used to this feeling?... This feeling! 

Got hidden by a mandatory disguise. 
Now it seems we have found our holes in the ground. 
Is there some way to choose if we win or we lose, 
or we ever get used to this feeling?... This feeling! 



Music & lyrics written by Arnaud Schmitz. 
Recorded in July 2001. 
Released by Number Nine Experiment on the first EP: "No Time to Waste" (2004).

HOLE IN THE SKY

I hit my head against the walls, but I don't feel the pain. 
I take a look at all these colours, but now it seems so pale. 
I miss the girl that I don't know. Oh! I miss her so! ... 

But I'll get high, dig that hole in the sky. 

I keep on watering inner flowers, as if it would not fade. 
I keep on listening to all their words, as long as I can stand it. 
But don't you know that I'm dying slowly, and you will rot with me. 

But I'll get high, dig that hole in the sky. 


Music & lyrics written by Arnaud Schmitz. 2001. 

This song was written to be interpreted with my band of the era: Heaven. 
The song was played only once in public by the band (in an instrumental version), opening a concert in St. Avold, in August 2001. A demo (with vocals) was recorded with the last line-up of Heaven (without Jeff) in April 2002. 
After the split of the band, the recording was released on the first EP by Number Nine Experiment: "No Time To Waste" (2004). There are two live versions by Number Nine Experiment on: "Jam Sessions at the Irish Bar" (2006). 
A video was designed for the song by Arnaud, and directed by one of his friends, Michel, in June 2002.
