Plastic Shovel
03:04
|

I’m sick of living this misery
The more the better, the greatest bet
You’ve got me honey, down on my knees
You know the rules of tender loving
You know the ways of love
Manipulating and celebrating
You’ll bury me down underground
With an Ikea plastic shovel
You know the ways of love...
That’s the bet
I beg you lover to kiss my lips
My stomach burns and my eyes are red
They’re deceivers in their own way
Writing the blog of tender loving
You know the ways of love
Manipulating and celebrating
You’ll bury me down underground
With an Ikea plastic shovel
You know the ways of love...
That’s the bet

Suicide Watermelon Blues
03:36
|
|||
Written in the blog of a journalist
"There's no more ideology"
Were you talking bout the world
Or particularly about me?
Well, I don’t know what to think!
Since I found money on the floor
And it's not enough
Will u still love me?
Will u still love me?
But you boo me, boo!
Suicide watermelon blues
The sweet water inside the fruit
Gotta play your game
Gotta be ashamed
A Fool in order to be acclaimed!
(oh, you have the nerve to boo me?
well next time I will boo you!)
Since I found money on the floor
And it's never enough
Will u still love me?
But you boo me, boo!

In the Void
04:59
|
|||
There's a political predisposition in the way that you love me
There's a sophistication in your condition that hurts me so bad
I just wanna feel embraced in full grace
I just wanna feel loved and not to fall
In the void, another day in the void
Sexy toil, another day in the void
In the void… Sexy toil
In the void, I don't feel the joy
There's some vanity in the way I expect you to hold me
There's a frail tenderness in the way you try to control me, dear
I just wanna feel no pain and that's so plain
I just wanna make love not to feel alone
In the void, another day in the void
Sexy toil another day in the void
Sexy toil... In the void
In the void, I don't feel the joy

Orange Sun
03:30
|

Orange sun, warm is your skin
And it's burning the years and the land
That I lived in, that's where you lived too
Where we kissed for the first time
We were naive, we were clever...
All I own is all I know
And you are around
Everytime I think of you
You, Orange sun
Orange sun, sweet is your flesh
And it's burning my ears and my hands
That’s a town where I was born
Where we danced through the halls
I don’t want to be back there anymore
All I own is all I know
And you are around
Everytime I think of you
You, Orange sun

The Emperor
03:26
|
|||
When you’re trying to survive
Your own way, that’s too much
For the emperor
I don’t mind if they hear
What I’m saying
Because they never stop talking...
saying:
“Hey, you must carry that burden”
And if you cry, they tell you:
“That’s what children do”
“Hey, you must be a part of it”
And if you’re angry
They will slap your face
I won’t use metaphors in this song
‘Cause I would find it nonsensical
If I talk about the Emperor
It is because that's the damn truth
“Hey, you must carry that burden”
And if you cry, they tell you:
“That’s what children do”
“Hey, you must be a part of it”
And if you’re angry
They will slap your face
Our story goes back to the van backseat
My eyes were blind and I could not see
You picked the cherries of love
What did I pick?
I'd never heard you moan
You'd never seen the sea
But then the moist in the air
Took you right there
Piercing tongue sucked my blood
That wasn't fair!
That wasn't fair, sucker
“Hey, you must carry that burden”
And if you cry, they tell you:
“That’s what children do”
“Hey, you must be a part of it”
And if you’re angry
They will slap your face

Horse Dance
03:52
|
|||
The dirty streets in heaven
Graffitis fit the pavement in flames
And taking that all is fair in this world
Let me bleed and sing the blues
We live in lovely houses
Well-bred Spanish horses
With adult comic pages on the wall
Let me bleed and sing the blues
Move one leg to the left
One leg to the left
One leg to the right
Move one leg to the right
That's raising the dust, then fall on the ground
Those are the steps of the horse dance
And we're doing alright
We're writing all the headlines
The paragraphs and lullabies
We're the writing corpses, rider and horse
Let me bleed and sing the blues
You lend me a fancy book
Since I am the mosquito that flew
You didn't allow me to go into your block
Let me bleed and sing the blues
Move one leg to the left
One leg to the left
One leg to the right
Move one leg to the right
That's raising the dust, then fall on the ground
Those are the steps of the horse dance
And we're doing alright

Johnny B. Zero

Locked up in the toilet
Swindling on the mattress
You know today
There's nowhere else to play
You don't have a heart
You don't have courage
You don't need a clock
Since your poor heart stopped
Kings in their thrones don't mind what you say
So grab your guitar and play
Come on, Johnny, play
Lazy Johnny
There's no room to play
Tricks in this swampy square
Here, kings are frogs
And mosquitoes drink all the blood
You don't have a brain
Your guitar sound explains it all
You are nothing, antithesis of a thesis
You are everything that I dreamt of when I was child...
So play
Come on, Johnny play
Lazy Johnny

Grey Elephants
03:38
|

I was afraid last night
I didn't satisfy, oh no
Your expectations
The critics in this town
Say that I’m slow, so slow
And pretty defensive
But I only slow down
I only slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Let’s make love
Real slow
The time is running fast
And I’m getting lost
My words are lazy
My tongue is ready now
My lips go underground, oh no
My mind is broken in two
And I only slow down
I only slow down
Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down
Let’s make love real slow

Oh my Boy
04:35
|
|||
Someone told you you are no good
Like the breeze whispers in your ear
You are the one to blame, you don’t understand
You have to wait to take a stand
But that’s fair for them
You do what you think it's right
Oh my boy, don’t you cry no more, my boy
Don’t you cry no more
Oh my boy, don’t you cry before the dawn
Night brings out the ghosts
But daytime brings some love
Doctor says that you are no good
Friends say you are a bad influence
The wind freezes your innocence
And you don't really get what you should
That's fair for them
But do what you think it's right
Oh my boy, don't you cry no more, my boy
Don't you cry no more
Oh my boy don't you cry before the dawn
Night brings out the ghosts
But daytime brings some love

Grasshopper Skin
03:35
|

Computer talk, that is not the way I should have loved
Grasshopper skin, you are peeling love like tangerines
Is this the love under the skin? Is this pure love or gentle breeze?
Kiss me again, give me a tender kiss, love me anytime
Is it a mess? Or is it like snake blue helplessness?
Is this new love under the skin? Is it pure love or gentle breeze?
I ain’t got no home, I ain’t got no dog
I ain’t got no… whatever
I ain’t got nothing I ain’t got a car right now…
‘cause it’s broken
It’s broken!
Is this new love under the skin?
Is it pure love or gentle breeze?

The Words of an Idiot
03:49
|

That boy writes you messages
And it makes me giddy
Won’t you let me down...
The phone’s ringing again
Won’t he understand?
You won’t let me down
Don’t you dare to go out tonight
Tonight, tonight
Let me check your mail
I won’t go insane
You won’t let me down
I am your bird
Locked up in a cage
You won’t let me down
Don’t you dare to go out tonight
Tonight, tonight
Why are you dressing up?
My tears are from laughter
Won’t you let me down
I won’t let you go
You’ve just closed the door!
Won’t you let me down...
Don’t you dare to go out tonight
Tonight, tonight

There's a Line
03:09
|

There’s a line
In the sky
Splitting us
You are the blue
I am the land
Always apart
Is it the wind caressing me?
Or is it you?
Oh, please be you
I will try
Not to fantasize
I'll do my best
My very best
I love u
A plane that flies
Over the land
Where UFOs land all night
Then, I was looking for romance
And I kissed those eyes
Long eyes
Is it the wind caressing me?
Or is it you?
Oh, please be you
I will try
Not to fantasize
I'll do my best
My very best
I love u

Instagramer

I'm going play a beat
Somewhat groovy indeed
You should dance with your pet
Don’t be so bold, not yet
A rainbow comes out of the box instead
Sometimes it holds some physicality, love
Bummer, bummer, you are an instagramer
Influencer, you’re not really a dancer
There is an old convention
Ruling across the nation
We are the filthy slackers
Then you're the motherfuckers
A rainbow comes out of the box instead
Sometimes it holds some physicality, love
Bummer, bummer, you are an instagramer
Influencer, you’re not really a dancer
There is a train of thought
I’d like you to behold
Just listen to the plot
Only three coaches long!
A rainbow comes out of the box instead
Sometimes it holds some physicality, love
Bummer, bummer, you are an instagramer
Influencer, you’re not really a dancer

Blue is Blind
03:22
|
|||
At the break of dawn
I looked for the devil
Through the misty morning
Got a talk with angels
They persuaded us
To get rid of the luggage
But I've loved u for too long...
Into the night when blue is blind
I'll follow you all around
We're helpless now the town is dark and the wind
The wind's a'howling
We're all together now
You and I, hand in hand, waiting for the morning
For the misty morning
Well, it’s been a mighty
A mighty long long time
Since we’ve had the last
The last bottle of wine
We get drunk together, we get drunk forever
And I loved you for too long
Into the night when blue is blind
I'll follow you all around
We're helpless now the town is dark and the wind
The wind's a'howling
We're all together now
You and I, hand in hand, waiting for the morning
For the misty morning

Golden Blow
03:26
|
|||
Scarlet eyes
And the wind that blows
Oh boy
That’s your dirty friend
Scruffy looking pal
Oh boy
As I turn my head
He takes my hand
And we go to the land
Of the golden sun
And we lay on the bed
Of the golden blow...
Summer holidays
As the river's running full
We are more than friends
We get drunk together
On our own...
As I turn my head
He takes my hand
And we go to the land
Of the golden sun
And we lay on the bed
Of the golden blow...

All that Love
05:58
|
|||
Words that you never said, like “I love you”
Wasted away all that is left behind...
All that love has gone, that love has gone
All that love has gone... Away
Never caressing me, little feather, sweet honey lips
Gone with the winter snow
Feeling way too small, that love has gone
All that love has gone... Away
All that love has gone away
Since the day that went away with that guy
All that love has gone away
Since that day
That love has gone away
Since that day
That love has gone away
All that love has gone
