BOX
you used your wings
for shelter
and found out too late
that missing out
on embarrassment
won‘t pay the wait
and every year
the candles
burn without a cake
you chose the pond
over the ocean
by mistake
be careful with that box
pandora!
don‘t you dare come near!
hey! you forgot your box
pandora!
you just can‘t leave it here!
you hear the word
you wear that shirt
you sneak a peek
you take the torch
you leave the porch
you kiss the freak
you close your eyes
you find those guys
you ride that ramp
you own the track
you break a leg
you get the amp
be careful …
if caution is a myth
and vice a plain invention
then ease is not a lie
seems they just forgot to mention
be careful …
oh! she forgot her box
she just left it here!

HAIR
take your time
get ready for me
i‘ll drink your excitement
with my rooibos tea
your kind little heart
is on the way to me
i‘ll be in the shower when you come
just wait for me and see
i‘ll bait you first
with a gracious smile
oh build up the thirst
well this might take a while
then i‘ll mock you on the fly
and let silence take care
and when you turn away to cry
i‘ll grab your hair
and then i‘ll rip it
it always takes some time
for you to recoup
if i moan about how bad i had it
i get back in the loop
i offer a biscuit
i knit you a skirt
i tell you some bullshit
oh you get over the hurt
and again you‘ll stare at me
with your needy eyes
i can‘t wait to see, ha!
your surprise
running down your chin
there‘s a hot little tear
can‘t control my grin
when i grab your hair
and then i‘ll rip it
one day you might find
some dignity for you
don‘t know whether that‘s ever gonna happen
but even if you do
i‘ll just say oops
i didn‘t mean to
i didn‘t mean to
mean
i mean
i just can‘t stand you getting in my hair

LIMINAL
and there you are standing still
silent in the dark
and here i am, dancin’ round
tryin’ to catch a spark
i can’t be quiet cause i am
afraid to look into your eyes
and if i did i might see things
we’re so desperately tryin’ to hide
hang on just a little while
revel in ambiguity
savor all the meanings of a smile
transmitted to infinity
let’s linger in the liminal
where everything is possible
let’s gravitate and stop the talking
let flying be our normal way of walking
let’s linger in the liminal
where everything is possible
let’s gravitate and stop the talking
c’mon, baby, let’s fly
don’t come closer closer closer
don’t go deeper deeper deeper
let’s just linger linger linger
in the liminal
i promise not to be afraid
i give in, i shred the plan
i don’t believe in force of fate
c’mon let’s capture what we can
and others won’t understand
cause there’s no name for what we have
this odd unsettling land
where we can cry and laugh

CURE
(na na na)
i‘d walk along the muted corridor
in the dim light to the metal door
the weirdest place to live for anyone i knew
completely fucked-up and outrageously cool
(na na na)
i‘m gonna court you, you said and i said ok
you came up with this insane game and we began to play
you had made up your mind and i failed to comply
i knew that we‘d screw up but i didn‘t know why
and whenever they play the cure
we‘re back in your room, so messed up and so pure
and whenever i see this sickening shade of blue
we‘re tangled up again
(na na na)
i‘d put on the white shirt to fake innocence
you would brush up your lines for brilliance
we‘d argue our way in and out of love
in the creepy light from the lamp above
(na na na)
and though we never kissed (yeah we never kissed)
i swallowed all the things i‘d missed
dizzy taste of million ways to thrive
promise of everything
and whenever they play the cure
we‘re back in your room, so messed up and so pure
and whenever i see this sickening shade of blue
we‘re tangled up again
and whenever i see you today
it seems the phantom pains have gone away
oh i wanna get a glimpse again of our wicked joy
but i can‘t find that girl no more and you‘re not that boy
but whenever they play the cure
we‘re back in your room, so messed up and so pure
and whenever i see this sickening shade of blue
we‘re tangled up again (so young and so untrue)
(na na na)

FLESH AND BLOOD
ha, ha, ha
anything i say‘s a hidden accusation
my sympathy‘s just a provocation
intellectual babble, plain manipulation
oh fuck off! ignore my desperation
you‘re grown-up and still in need of validation
your guilt‘s killing me, endless strangulation
you‘re a victim of your own imagination
the mind‘s a master of self-mutilation
shut up! evil daughter
shut up! flesh and blood
shut up! evil daughter
the more i scream the less you talk
ha, ha, ha
far, far out there “there‘s a field. i‘ll meet you there.“
and our souls will find rest in that grass, raw and bare
shut up!
i can‘t have done no wrong
shut up!
i can‘t have done no wrong
creepy puppet
ageless girl
avenging angel
fake pearl
ha, ha, ha
shut up! evil daughter
shut up! flesh and blood
shut up! evil daughter
the more i scream
far, far out there “there‘s a field. i‘ll meet you there.“
and our souls will find rest in that grass, raw and bare
shut up!
i can‘t have done no wrong
shut up!
i can‘t have done no wrong

A pop song for SO36
At Emergenza first round, some people thought that our songs have too many and too weird chords. We took this feedback seriously and came up with a new song that features only FOUR CHORDS. A minor, G, F and E repeated endlessly (yeah, we stole this from Monteverdi, but he’s been dead for a long time, so we thought he wouldn’t mind). It’s our first real pop song and we’ll play it live for the first time tonight. You can check out a rough demo here:
