LYRICS

Oh yeah, yeah yeah - come let's escape
In the jungle, in the jungle, gotta get out from this concrete jungle

Saturday morning white skies brown floor
Look up at the flickering tubes spill white light some more
Single mosquito buzzing forlorn
You're hooked on the listless libido spent out on porn

Tell me where have you been?
Was it pure and clean, yeah?
You know you want to split me open, pour me out
Love this prison, don't scream don't shout

In the jungle, in the jungle, gotta get out from this concrete jungle

Life, it's so much sweeter
It's so much stronger
Gotta get out from this concrete jungle

I feel like I can belong, yeah
Let's live it longer
In the jungle, gotta get out from this concrete jungle

Souls smeared with dirt but we're clean
Veins pumping with gaso...
Let me show you how, let me show you how

Sell your own mother for a buck
S'ok 'cause we don't give a...
Let me show you how, let me show you how


Can you feel me now, hear the call
The eagle's landing yeah
Let me show you how, let me show you how now

Baby feel the fire twirling, waves are calling
With wild abandon, yeah
Let me show you how, let me show you how now

In the jungle, in the jungle, gotta get out from this concrete jungle

Life, it's so much sweeter
It's so much stronger
Gotta get out from this concrete jungle

I feel like I can belong, yeah
Let's live it longer
In the jungle, gotta get out from this concrete jungle

Concrete Jungle

This song is a tribute to Michelle Kuipers, mother of the late Marc-André Leclerc. He died doing what he loved, and now he lies buried at the site of his destiny, inspiring us all to greatness.

Below the lyric sheet is the full poem I wrote after learning of his story.

LYRICS
Mother, look at the cracks upon her face
She's my lover, I lie here frozen in her cold embrace
Hard and cold, beauty and bold
Her light illuminates my soul
Mother

Oh your beauty
Fills me with the grace of God

Soaring in the heights
Her beauty lights the morning sky
Her Alpine breath so sweet
In her I found my love divine

Mother, eternal life in her I see
There's no other

Oh your beauty
Fills me with the grace of God

Blinding light so high
Rising up to touch the sky
Her Alpine ice I breathe
Her love divine, I'll never leave

Mother
I marvel at her beauty, I marvel at her grace, mother
My broken fingers reach out, to ancient lines I trace

Soaring in the heights
Her beauty lights the morning sky
Her Alpine breath so sweet
In her I found my love divine

Oh your beauty
Fills me with the grace of God

--

Mother look at the cracks in her face
I caress them and I grip them with my hands
Fingers rough and bloody, caked with ice
Look at her beauty, look at her grace
Rising up to meet the sky
Glistening, cold and hard
She's fragile, when she breaks I fall
Further in love with her, deeper into her womb
Stone ends and ice begins
A fresh beginning each time I'm reborn

Mother I know you came to see me
She held me buried in her womb
Her icy tomb
I have seen the face of God
She sent me back to my maker
But I can say I made it
Mother I made it and stood atop her
You should have seen it
You should have been there

Mother you understand what I see in her
When many said I was crazy
To chase this icy lady
She's icy cold to the touch
And just when I think I've had too much
I breathe in her Alpine breath
And all those thoughts of death
Are chased out of my mind
You see her love makes me blind
Mother she is truly divine

When she cracks I fall
Deeper and deeper in love with her
She's a cruel mistress, cold and hard
Many think I'm mad
I will be remembered for this
But that's not why I do it
I do it because I love her
And in her I found my love

Mother I am devoted
You saw where I lay buried
Forever, you couldn't retrieve me
But you found your way to grieve me
Don't cry for me mother
For I am at peace
I found my love in the sky
She is made of stone and ice
She is my lover, my obsession
She is my rock, my mountain

I breathe her Alpine breath
Each morning after morning
Each time I go exploring
You might end the day in mourning
Please don't cry for me mother
I am in love and love is not a choice
When the early sun rises
And shines on her face
The sky is illuminated
Glistening and glinting
There is no more beautiful sight
There's nothing more beautiful in the world

Alpine

LYRICS

Twenty years in the rear
Future is here

Yeah I was chilling in the kitchen making a cup of tea
When the phone rang you see the year was two oh oh oh three
And then the voice spoke to me, he said the future I see, this is the music to be
You dig?

Swagger, supreme
Magic machine

Yeah Clinno my man, he wants to start up a band
The day he checked out my tape, it sealed together our fate
And with the power of three, just Ad and Clinno and me
We got to work on a dream, it was so easy it seemed

Genius, extreme
Talent, obscene

Icky sticky music in your throat
Icky sticky music, stick my music down your throat
Icky sticky music in your throat
Take my music, stick my music down your throat

We travelled through the age of youth and gravity
Through the dusts of time, found who we're meant to be

Swagger, supreme
Magic machine

From weeks to months into years and years
We saw the future, we saw it clear
Make digital bits and bits and bits
You know it's us who began this shit

Yo!
It's us who stole up the show, so many bands that you know
They made their name on our flow
You dig?

Genius, extreme
Talent, obscene

Icky sticky music in your throat
Icky sticky music, stick my music down your throat
Icky sticky music in your throat
Take my music, stick my music down your throat

Dear lord it is me, grant my -  fantasy
Give me strength, give me light, give me - legacy
In the air way up there, I can live without care
But before I can rest help me flourish my flair

From weeks to months into years and years
We saw the future, we saw it clear
Make digital bits and bits and bits
You know it's us who began this shit

Twenty years in the rear

Icky sticky music in your throat
Icky sticky music, stick my music down your throat
Icky sticky music in your throat
Take my music, stick my music down your throat

Twenty Years

LYRICS:

Who knows where we came from?
Who knows what we’ll do?
Covered in expectation
Before we ever come to
Before we ever realise

Start the race against time
One day early in life
While you play in a garden
Hear your future calling

Pat me on the back, I made it
Don’t know what to do, I fake it
Should I run away or is it too late?

One day you might
Look back on life
Did you play by the rules or find your own way?

Why would any believe you?
Everyone’s got a dream to sell
Why should anyone try it?
Do you even believe yourself?

Took the road safely traveled
Saw my smile unravel
I put my dreams off waiting for tomorrow
Always find another year to borrow
I resign to what could have been

So pat me on the back, I made it
Don’t know what to do, I fake it
Should I run away or is it too late?

One day you might
Look back on life
Did you play by the rules or find your own way?

One Day

LYRICS:

I'm disco dancing
I'm disco dancing
The heat of the night it fills my eyes
I'm disco dancing

Call me Travolta on the dancefloor
My hips are swinging to the rhythm
Oh The stage is set, the lights are on
It is now time for my decision

To wipe off my eyes
As the fear wells inside
These anvils I hide
Wash my pride
They're raining down on the dancefloor

I'm disco dancing
I'm disco dancing
The heat of the night it fills my eyes
I'm disco dancing

Up, down, all around
Pick your tears up off the ground
Front, back, side to side
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Breathe in, ah breathe out yeah
Shake shake that booty about ah
No victory lap, caught in the trap
Yeah everybody dance now

Choke back those tears
And play that disco music 'til you die

I'm disco dancing
I'm disco dancing
The heat of the night it fills my eyes
I'm disco dancing

Disco Dancing
