My name is trouble

My name is trouble my first name’s a mess

No need to greet me I’m here to confess

But if you let me hold I won’t hold my breath

And if you let me love I will let you down

My chances end last I tend to possess

No game is out to my need to possess

But if you let me hold you I won’t hold my breath

And if you let me love you I will let you down

My name is trouble my first name’s a mess

No need to greet me I’m here to confess

If you let me hold you I won’t hold my breath

And if you let me love you I will hold you down

Dark Into Light

What’s your name

do you feel the same

up all night

think about our lives

when we’re gone

our ghosts live on

so have we tried

have we done our best

to turn the wrong into right

turn the wrong into right

turn the dark into light

we divide

sacrifice our lives

over what we’re told

over what they hide

we don’t want

to go unsung

so give us your faith

cause it’s not too late

to turn the wrong into right

turn the wrong into right

turn the dark into light

and we’ll be alright

AM and Shawn Lee

My body is a cage

I'm standing on a stage

Of fear and self-doubt

It's a hollow play

But they'll clap anyway

My body is a cage that keeps me

From dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

I'm living in an age

That calls darkness light

Though my language is dead

Still the shapes fill my head

I'm living in an age

Whose name I don't know

Though the fear keeps me moving

Still my heart beats so slow

My body is a cage that keeps me

From dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

I'm living in an age

That screams my name at night

But when I get to the doorway

There's no one in sight

Peter Gabriel

I'm Gonna Crawl Back Home

  

I don't have to go by plane

I ain't gotta go by car

I don't care just where my darling is

People I just don't care how far

I'm gonna crawl

I don't care if I got to go back home

I don't care what I got to stand to get her back

I'm gonna crawl

I'm gonna move the car, baby

I'm gonna crawl.

Set & Costume Design: Katrin Brännström
Lighting Design: Erik Berglund
Dancer: Sylvie Guillem
Co-production: Dansens Hus Stockholm

All four dancers began their careers in the classical ballet, which all four also managed to put in a contemporary context. 

Sylvie broke the boundaries of classical dance to blaze new trails in the contemporary idiom. 

In this production, she takes on the modernist challenges of a perceptive post-classicist, a neo-classicist with a love for the cinema, and a choreographer who uses movement to explore the soul.

Sheep May Safely Graze

Sheep may safely graze

All the wolves have been rounded up

And put to bed

Sheep may safely graze

There are only days of happiness

Up ahead

Sheep may safely graze, my boy

All the crocodiles have been hunted

From your dreams

Sheep may safely graze

While the lambs are gambolling

By the streams

Sheep may safely graze

All the lost children will be found

In time

Sheep may safely graze, my boy

Close your eyes

Your daddy is by your side

And if by chance, you wake at night

The hollow sorrow that lingers

And you grab at the tails of your dreams

But they scuttle through your fingers

All you can hear outside

Is the roar of a city being raised

That's just the powers that be

Making it safe to graze

Sheep may safely graze

The bluebirds have chased the vultures

From the sky

Sheep may safely graze

The day has merely gone now

And closed its eyes

Sheep may safely graze, my boy

All the fishes are leaping

Into the net

Sheep may safely graze

Yes my darling

This is as good as it gets

Sheep may safely graze

All the lost children will be found

In time

Sheep may safely graze, my boy

Close your eyes

Your daddy is by your side

And you should wake tomorrow

The fences are all torn down

The woods are full of howling beasts

And there ain't nobody around

And everything seems foreign

To your little ways

That's just the Gods above

Making it safe to graze

The fox has its hole

The bird has its nest

But the sun out has no place

To lay his head and graze

Little Empty Boat (II)

Your tiny little face

Keeps yapping in the gloom

Seven steps behind me

With your dustpan and broom.

I couldn't help but imagine you

All postured and prone

But there's a little guy on my shoulder

Says I should go home alone.

You keep leaning in on me

And you're looking pretty pissed

That grave you've dug between your legs

Is hard to resist.

But my little boat is empty

It don't go

And my oar is broken

It don't row, row, row

But my little boat is empty

It don't go

And my oar is broken

It don't row, row, row

Give to God what belongs to God

And give the rest to me

Tell our gracious host to fuck himself

It's time for us to leave.

But my little boat is empty

It don't go

And my oar is broken

It don't row, row, row

But my little boat is empty

It don't go

And my oar is broken

It don't row, row, row
