Lustre or Luster may refer to:
Lustre is the codename of a secret treaty signed by France and the Five Eyes (FVEY) for cooperation in signals intelligence and for mutual data exchange between their respective intelligence agencies. Its existence was revealed during the 2013 global surveillance disclosure based on documents leaked by the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
The Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) of France maintains a close relationship with both the NSA and the GCHQ after discussions for increased cooperation began in November 2006. By the early 2010s, the extent of cooperation in the joint interception of digital data by the DGSE and the NSA was noted to have increased dramatically.
In 2011, a formal memorandum for data exchange was signed by the DGSE and the NSA, which facilitated the transfer of millions of metadata records from the DGSE to the NSA. In 2013, the existence of the Lustre treaty was revealed in documents leaked by the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
Lustre is the fifth studio album from British singer-songwriter Ed Harcourt. The album was released on 14 June 2010 in the UK, and a day later in the US. The album is the first release on Harcourt's own label Piano Wolf Recordings, distributed through Essential Music Marketing (in North America, the album was released through Nice Music Group). The album follows his 2009 EP Russian Roulette, and is his first studio album since 2006's The Beautiful Lie. On his official MySpace blog, Harcourt said of the album: "It's got horns, violins, howling, mellophones, the Langley sisters, barks, whistles, hell I even sung down by a creek in the middle of the night." Harcourt told Direct Current that the album is "about that gleaming quality – the vitality, the passion – that drives you to keep going and not give up." A special edition of the album was also released in the UK, featuring a bonus disc of unreleased recordings. The album was preceded by the radio single "Do as I Say Not as I Do."
I am waiting by the phone
Listen on the floor
You've got that rythm
I am fainting by your walls
You're headed out the door
I'll build my insight
Not droppin' the wayside
Because of all the hell I've taken
Not takin' the long ride
Besides, it's not my neck you're breakin'
I am kneeling by your walls
You're workin' in the bar
I know you inside
I am painting by your walls
You've headed out the door
I'll build my insight
Not droppin' the wayside
Because of all the hell I've taken
Not takin' the long ride
Besides, it's not my neck you're breakin'
Not droppin' the wayside
Because of all the hell I've taken
Not takin' the long ride
Besides, it's not my neck you're breakin'
Not droppin' the wayside
Because of all the hell I've taken
Not takin' the long ride
