Binibini by Jan Roberts (cover)

my iron lung cover (bardagulan ver.)

I want to run away with you
Across the oceans and the borders, oh it's true
No. I can't wait. I can't hardly wait
To reach that end that starts and lasts with you

I just want to be with you

Come on dear, what are you waiting for?
I'm standing with the risk of either living with or without you
Isn't this enough a proof, a sign of my undying adoration for you?
For you

I just want to be with you

So why don't we leave now from this place?
I can see it in your eyes, you still want to stay
Well I can feel your heart, it's just one beat away
From me

Darling you are my weakness
Just a smile, a wink, a laugh
Oh God I feel my knees go weak
So if you say you want to escape with me
I would gladly go with you and I am gonna show you
That I'm the one
For you

Can't Hardly Wait

As we approach our anniversary, here is something to keep you on the edge of your seat! This is a stripped version of our song "Magic". If you like this, wait till you hear the full version. To friends and fans, we love you all. 

Magic

Talking to myself
(Crying for attention or a desperate cry for help)
She is watching as I fall under her spell
She's in to me as far as I can tell

Talking slowly for hours as I lay down on the floor
Keep you warm enough; isn't that what love is for?

Bound by broken starts
The brightest eyes appear as dull and dying stars
"You lied to me you said there was a cure for broken hearts
To my surprise our love ain't tearing me apart"

Babe, that's how I know that it's magic.

Talking to myself,
baby. Desperately I'm searching for your name in shelves
You're the book I'll never finish for myself
You're the girl I'd never ever ever.. (?)

"And I'm falling out of love again"
I never did this before
so I won't let it go.

Tearing up make up from a magazine
But everybody knows that you're so obscene, girl
Strike another pose like or even and share
"But everybody knows that you're self aware"
No.

Magic (A Stripped Rendition)

(with wrong lyrics)

“Mmm… dreams don’t shimmer quite like they used to…”

There you were… 
across the tide
Wrapped in silk and too much pride
Smiled like sin, then slipped away
Left me humming yesterday

“She danced away…”
“he stayed and sighed…”
“Chasin’ phantoms in his mind…”

Poured the gin, [Gm] lit the stage
Read my lines from a gilded cage
Hoped you’d knock, I wore green
Darling… you missed the scene

“Here’s to ghosts in high-heeled shoes…”
“Sippin’ gin on faded news…”

Time plays tricks and I play mine
Perfume lingers past the line
I reached for more than smoke and shine
But darling, that dream was never mine

“The dream purred sweet…” 
“but it told no truth…”

Now I sway in velvet blues
Lost in rhythm, satin shoes
Still I hum that old, sly tune
Chasin’ you a little too soon

“Some lights shine…”
“…but not for fools.”

You’re not the only one I’ve been absent from

And you go on about how what I figured out was wrong
Because it wasn’t part of your plan all along

Why do you make me feel so bad
If you want me to come back

All I know I wouldn’t ask of you what you wouldn’t do for me

So many streets and only one of me
We're drowning in a big city and there's only one of me

Manila's a Trap

A song I wrote 9 months ago. Hope you like it~
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She'll sail around the world
Ride the waves and feel the winds
Just a frightened little girl
Sailing farther from her sins

He says,
"Scarlet Ocean,
there's nothing left to save
Scarlet Ocean,
you will be my grave"

He shouldn't walk along these streets
With these buses passing by
But he's tired of his beliefs
He's tired of asking why

He says,
"Starlit Ocean,
there's nothing left to save
Scarlet Ocean,
you will be my grave"

She says,
"Starlit Ocean,
there's nothing left to save
Scarlet Ocean,
you will be my grave
you will be my grave"

Starlit Ocean (Commonwealth Avenue)

Tagu-taguan 
By: Bita and the Botflies

Verse 1:
Sabi niya "Okay lang sa akin 
maging pangalawa"
Sabi nya, "Magaling naman akong magtago
Kahit mukhang gago"

La la la la 

Chorus: 
Tagu-taguan
Maliwanag ang buwan
Nag-aalangan, naglilinlangan
Langit at lupa'y ginapang ko na
Hindi ka pa rin makukuha

Verse 2:
Sabi mo naman, "Magkita tayo,
Alas-dose,
'Sang kalye sa Cubao.
Sandali na lang
Naghahanap lang
Ng tyempo
Sa kanyang himbing,
I-eskapo"

Dahan-dahang,
Humahakbang,
Lumulundag yung pusong 
Nang-aahas

Chorus:
Tagu-taguan
Maliwanag ang buwan
Nag-aalangan, naglilinlangan
Langit at lupa'y ginapang ko na
Hindi mo pa rin matataya

Bridge:
Paggising ko
Wala na sa tabi
Sinundan ko 'yong mga bakas

Nadatnang
Magkahalikan
Dinukot kong
Balisong

La la la la 

Tagu-taguan 
Maliwanag ang buwan
Nag-aalangan, naglilinlangan
Langit at lupa'y ginapang ko na
Sa wakas, nahuli ka

Tagu-taguan

A song based on Psalm 51.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love (v1)
I was a sinner since birth (v5)
You taught me the wisdom that comes from above (v6)

Don't cast me out I have nowhere to go (v12)
Cleanse me and I will be whiter than snow (v7)

You ask for my life so I'll give it, though this grief has torn me apart (my own words)
Take my broken spirit, take my broken heart (v17)

You ask for my praise so I'll give it (v15)
I'm coming back to the start (my own words)
Take my broken spirit, take my broken heart (v17)

Broken (Psalm 51)

Featuring Ian Lofamia

CHOP-CHOP BLUES

I.
Oh I remember clearly, blood-red sky
Drenched in rain, and an overwhelming craving
You played unfairly, in your guise                      
Sleight of hand, so now you’re paying

(Chorus)
I know, I know, I know
That you like your games twisted

I know, I know, I know
That you like to make their hearts bleed

I know, I know, I know
That you like to hunt for your prey

So now, I’m---
Doing the same


 II.                             
Just groove to my records, now don't defy
Soon I'll release you,  from the sack in my trunk
Honey, we will play, a little game
A little game of chop chop
Where I'll dissect you, and you'll love it too

(Chorus)

III.
Do you want to do it slowly?
Do you want to do it quickly?
Do you want to do it slowly?
Do you want to do it quickly?

(Chorus)

 (Harmonica solo)

IV.
Baby I will skin you, under the chin
From ear to ear, your face like a souvenir
This way, you’re always with me
Just like you said, 

Cause you’ll be under my ground
And you can’t runaway from me...

Chop-Chop Blues

I.
Halika na
Pirmahan ang kontrata
Isukong sarili, wag nang babalik
Sisikat ka iha

Sa iyong ganda sila'y mapapasamba
Sa iyong kinis sila'y manginginig

Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw 
Hanggang mawala ang iyong kaba

Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
Hanggang malasing sa kanilang hiyaw

II: 
Halika na
Maraming nakapila
Sundin mo lang anong gusto nila
Bumebenta ka iha

Sa iyong haplos, sila'y mapapasaya
Mga malulungkot at nag-iisa

Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
Hanggang malasing sa kanilang hiyaw

Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
Hanggang mawala ang iyong hiya

III.
Samantalahin mo na habang bata ka pa
Kung kulubot na, wala na kaming paki sayo
Samantalahin habang bata ka pa
Kung kulubot na, wala ka nang saysay dito

Sayaw, sayaw
Wala na kaming paki sayo
Sayaw, sayaw
Wala ka nang saysay dito

IV.
Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
May papalit kami sayo

Sayaw nene, sayaw nene
Sayaw, sayaw
May bago nang paborito

Sisikat Ka Iha

Here's our very rough version of Creep, recorded live at MOR 101.9
