TO BE OR NOT

Track from the vinyl EP  "To Be Or Not",  P&C 2008

Music & Lyrics: Moimir Papalescu/Gerald V. Casale

He was a brave boy
He was a strong boy
He had no mother
He had no father

No blood, just plastic bones
And a servo-motor soul
He was always in control
He was always in control

Love was just a fantasy
A dream beyond his reach
Love was just a fantasy
Not his only fantasy
Not his only fantasy

Ditched by his master
A real love disaster
So sad he’d outlast her
So sad he’s outlast her

Love was just a fantasy
A dream beyond his reach
Love was just a fantasy
Not his only fantasy
Not his only fantasy

A robot friend indeed
A robot friend in need
To be or not to be

He was a brave boy
He was a strong boy
He had a mission
A factory condition

No blood, just plastic bones
And a servo-motor soul
He was always in control
He was always in control



Love was just a fantasy
A dream beyond his reach
Love was just a fantasy
Not his only fantasy
Not his only fantasy
Not his only fantasy
Not his only fantasy











To Be Or Not

THIS TOY

Track from the album "Songs About Love & Machines", P&C 2010

(Music: Moimir Papalescu / Lyrics: Leon Stevenson)

This toy is ok for playing 
But don't go breaking it's heart
Enhanced with real emotion
Stroke a key and make it start

But that toy starts a lot of trouble
Never leave it alone
And those toys are still in production
There's one in every home

This toy was made for loving 
Then leaving without a trace
That toy is a murderous junkie
Stab you with a smile on it's face

That toy sets a bad example
It's just killing time
The other toys don't know any better
They all fall into line

REFRAIN:
Oh boy the joy of a toy
  High maintenance  machines 
Oh boy the joy of a toy 
 Now they've got hopes and dreams

This toy's got a lot of things going
It's got a lot of soul
Cries out for a lot of attention
Like Major Tom to ground control

That toy dont wanna know a thing about it
It's got a mind of it's own
And that toy is a weak little puppet
Send in the clones

REFRAIN:
Oh boy the joy of a toy
  High maintenance  machines 
Oh boy the joy of a toy 
 Now they've got hopes and dreams

 Now this toy has an education
Really bright and shiny too
But  dummies always seem to run things
And they can't even tie there shoes

Now Toy-Town's overrun with stupid dummies
And like I said just killing time
The other toys don't know any better
Falling for dummy lies

REFRAIN:
Oh boy the joy of a toy
  High maintenance  machines 
Oh boy the joy of a toy 
 Now they've got hopes and dreams

OLD TIN CAN

The first single from the forthcoming album "Change" (P&C 2014)

(Music: Moimir Papalescu / Lyrics: Leon Stevenson)

I saw a tin can  looking like a human being
I couldn't believe what I was seeing
You never think he wasn't real not by a long shot
Synthetic drugs work well for robots

They were invented in the model of a human
Gave them a face like Scary Gary Numan
I began to think that machines have feelings
The way they live in private is not so appealing

They come installed with a solid gold heart
Take them away and tear them apart
Shiver in the dark you're on a block of ice
Is he gonna  talk? it's just a roll of the dice
 Is he gonna make it?
 
Tossed him away like an old tin can
Left  on the street   with a bad drug plan
Memory banks are starting to fade
This robot junkie has got something to say
(what'd he say?)
Black market narcotic monkey junk shit pile
Metallic skin split shiny green like Krokodil
They'll leave your body  in a back alley dumpster
Crumpled and broken like a beaten Herman Munster
Help me now.
{refrain}
OLD TIN CAN - was A WISE OLD MAN
Soon became broken and hooked on dope
OLD TIN CAN - Stand up again
Now he has spoken there's always hope.

BOMBAY TRAIN

I’m so posh
Stereotype
Like a tiger tiger
And I smoke a pipe

And I got a girl
Her name is Jane
And it’s plain to see 
That she has her own brain

Me and Jane                [me and Jane]
On the Bombay Train   [on the Bombay train]
Me and Jane                [me and Jane]
On the Bombay Train   [on the Bombay train]

We found our youth in a silver fountain
We gotta go and climb that Savage Mountain
We made our way to the Himalayas
She never said to me I’ll see ya later man
She had a plan

The doctor is in
And we’re feeling no pain
Drinking our gin            [me and Jane]
On the Bombay train    [on the Bombay train]

Drinking Bombay gin    [me and Jane]
Just me and Jane         [on the Bombay train]

We found our youth in a silver fountain
We gotta go and climb that Savage Mountain
We made our way to the Himalayas
She never said to me I’ll see ya later ….

(instrumental)

K2 for two
It’s how we do
From Prague to Bucharest
We never rest

We found our youth in a silver fountain
We gotta go and climb that Savage Mountain
We made our way to the Himalayas
She never said to me I’ll see ya later
Click clack, station to station
Mumbai our destination
And then she said to me I got something that’ll suit ya
You better brush up on the Kama Sutra man…
She had a plan..
(Dedicated To Jana C)

FACE TO FACE

A man has to live and stand by his reputation
Still you’re only gonna see
What he want you to see
But when a man looks in a mirror
It's a whole other situation
Face to face with himself
Who can he really be

Face to face
Oh it’s a struggle for the self
Face to face
You gotta put it on a shelf
Face to face
and keep it locked in a box
Face to face
Cos’  you’re walking on hot rocks

Take a look at yourself
Face to face    
Put it back on the shelf
Face to face

Put your hand in the air if you care 
and you have a real question
What you get is what you see
and it doesn’t always look so  good to me

Face to face
Oh it’s a struggle for the self
Face to face
You gotta put it on a shelf
Face to face
and keep it locked in a box
Face to face
Cos’  you’re walking on hot rocks 

You living in a unreal world like an old play station
Downloading digital dreams down by the sea
Nothing to fear but the fear running through the nation
Have another drink boy, the next one’s on me 

Take a look a yourself
Face to face    
Put it back on the shelf
Face to face

Face to face
Oh it’s a struggle for the self
Face to face
You gotta put it on a shelf
Face to face
and keep it locked in a box
Face to face
Cos’  you’re walking on hot rocks

Face To Face

FACE TO FACE

CLOSER TO YOU
 
(You know that) 
I’d stand in line for all time
Anything, it would be so fine to be
Closer to you
Closer to you
 
I found myself fantasizing
And now I’m realizing, that I'm
Closer  to you
Closer  to you

And if I cross the line
You pull me back in time, now i’m
Closer to you - ooh
I wanna get closer to you
Closer to you
I wanna get closer to you

I think you know the deal
The way you make me feel
Closer  to you
Closer  to you

I know for sure it's real     
I’ve nothing to conceal, Now I’m
Closer to you - ooh
I wanna get closer to you
Closer to you
I wanna get closer to you

We can do something together
Our love is getting better, now I’m
Closer  to you
Closer  to you

We don’t have a lot of money to spend
With a whisper and a care, we’ll make it to then end
 
Closer  to you
Closer  to you
Closer  to you
Closer  to you

We can share our fear and flaws
And when a teardrop falls, I get
Closer  to you
Closer  to you

And if I cross the line
You pull me back in time, now i’m
Closer to you - ooh
I wanna get closer to you
Closer to you
I wanna get closer to you

CLOSER TO YOU (Album Version)

NEON LIFE
Music: Moimir Papalescu / Lyrics: Leon Stevenson

Neon life
Neon life
I don’t wanna go
With a gun or a knife

Bright lights bar fights
Super high stars fly
Bye bye Cry cry
Why why must anybody die

We only came here to have some fun
We never mean to hurt anyone
Our bodies shining in the neon light
But shadows were   cold as the night

Saturday night, we went out  dancing
Steppin’ out  lights are all flashing
On the floor covered in   bubbles
Step away if you came to make trouble
