Both songs were released on Indochine's album ”Alice and June Limited edition” , the French one also appears on the regular album. The single edit doesn't feature Brian because the bands' record labels decided to put out a version without Brian as guest vocalist. Nicola Sirkis: ”[…] his own record company refused to let us release it with him.” I don't understand this decision, but I agree with Nicola who also said: ”What is important is that the song exists, it is historic, and it comes in different versions.”

In an interview with Rock Sound Brian explained how the song came into being: “Nicola wanted to write something in English. He called me and asked me to help correct his grammatical errors”. Sirkis made it more concrete: "In fact, I had started working on a text in French but on an English gibberish. I asked him to help me with that, because I wanted an English version of this song, but consequently he made me a full text and even added voice melodies” (Indofr, 2005).
Brian also agreed to be on hand when Indochine would record ”Pink water” so he could help the French artist with the phonetics. A few days before the meeting he called Sirkis and offered that he'd sing it as a duet wit him. Nicola about the session: ”We did the recording on a Sunday in a studio near his home, Brian came with a bottle of Chablis and we spent the afternoon together”. Sounds nice, doesn't it?

Pink water is a distinct type of wastewater associated with TNT. It is produced from equipment washing processes after munitions filling or demilitarization operations.

๐ข “It’s a song i’m proud of. I wrote it in my hotel room in Bangkok, when i spent time in Thailand.“
(Rock Magazine, December 2005)
๐ข “We did that song for us, for our own pleasure, because we adore each other and to have the opportunity to work together. Many people have asked us to know if we were going to work together. We just had to find the good context, the reason to do it, and there was this song. We didn’t want to please the others, but we wanted to please us!“

๐ข ”It's quite interesting because his own record company refused to let us release it with him (it's the version with Nicola alone that was released as a single of Alice & June). I told him: "Look, you have written the lyrics, you could do what you want". Anyway, it proves that he likes the song and that, once again, his own record compagny is a big shit (laughs)! And nevermind, it doesn't matter, it's the business. What is important is that the song exists, it is historic, and it comes in different versions ...
I have seen him, he was in Paris in February, and the video was played, and he was disgusted that it was this version wich was released. On the other hand, I think that if he had really wanted to, he could have stressed and made his own record company give in. It is a bit strange, what happened with this song. I find it great, he found it great, we did it together, and so, the story ends there ...”

Sky, I’m gonna leave tonight
You know, I’ve got a life to live
And it’s getting late
So I’m gonna leave tonight
I can’t decide
If I’m the one you need
Or what you want out of life
I always thought
You’d be the one to leave
The one to change your mind
I’m on a rocket
To a dying star
You have to stay behind
Can’t take you with me
‘cause it’s very far
And you don’t have the time
Get me out of this place
Get me out of this place
Get me out of this place
Sky, I’m gonna leave tonight
You know, I’ve got a life to live
And it’s getting late
I can’t decide
If I’m the one you need
Or what you want out of life
I always thought
You’d be the one to leave
The one to change your mind
I’m on a rocket
To a dying star
You have to stay behind
Before I met you
I was crushing cars
And I was doing fine
Get me out of this place
Get me out of this town
Before I drown in your deep
Pink water
I won’t remember your face
I can’t remember your frown
Because I’ll drown in your deep
Pink water
10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6 ...
5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1
Sky, I’m gonna leave tonight

And you don’t have the time
