100% Rock And Roll (Lyrics)

Don't want to sleep tonight
I'm out there on the road
Well you can say what you like
I'm not doing what i'm told
Don't want to waste my time
I aint working for the man
I made a deal with the devil
He put a guitar in my hands

I want 100%
Give me 100%
I want 100%
Give me 100%
Rock And Roll
From my head down to my toes

Don't want to sleep tonight
I'm out there on the road
I'm gonna tear up this town
There's a fire in my soul
Don't want to waste my life
I aint working for the man
I made a deal with the devil
He put a guitar in my hands

I want 100%
Give me 100%
I want 100%
Give me 100%
Rock And Roll
From my head down to my toes

It's Only Rock And Roll
It's Only Rock And Roll
It's Only Rock And Roll
But I Like It Like it - Yeah

No-Hair Conjecture

A song I recorded with my high school band way back in 76. Lead guitar and drums by my dear friends Michael and Frank who both passed away at a young age. Bass by Tony.
For those who do not recognize the image, it's a 45. LOL
We recorded this with our hard earned cash at a local RCA studio. We had a blast.

My Mother-in-law told me that as a young teenager during the late 30’s & early 40’s, any form of entertainment was welcomed as these were, for many reasons, the hardest of times. 
There was a locally run club which had many types of performers, most of them music related, and she remembers every occasion being full of fun and laughter. There was a small entry fee and all profits went towards supporting the disabled.
Now here’s the best bit.  My Mum-in-law (who, by the way, was the seventh sister of seven sisters - not relevant but true), told me that the club did have an official name but was always known by everyone who went there as 'The Cripple Club'. Not exactly sensitive by today's standards but, personally, I loved the name for it's honest innocence.  As for our Cripple Club, there is only one rule that applies - if you are perfect, you won't get in.  So welcome, one and all.

Yet again, we have to thank Hans for his brilliant work on the track.  As you’ll hear, it grabs your attention from the very start and doesn’t ever let go...   (Terry Reeves)


There's no rhyme or reason
There's no time or space
There's no charge for leaving
There's no need for grace

Have you been down to the Cripple Club
Dancing and singing without a care
Have you been down to the Cripple Club
Screenshots and downloads everywhere 

No one will be wiser 
There will be no strings attached
You'll get no prizes given
The doors left on the latch

Have you been down to the Cripple Club
Dancing and singing without a care
Have you been down to the Cripple Club
Screenshots and downloads everywhere 

No needle in a haystack 
It's neither here nor there
No horse of a different colour
The life of Riley here

Have you been down to the Cripple Club
Dancing and singing without a care
Have you been down to the Cripple Club
Screenshots and downloads everywhere 

The milk of human kindness 
As good as a highland fling
A little bird has told me
Elvis has left the building 

Have you been down to the Cripple Club
Dancing and singing without a care
Have you been down to the Cripple Club
Screenshots and downloads everywhere 

Have you been down to the Cripple Club
Dancing and singing without a care
Have you been down to the Cripple Club

CRIPPLE CLUB - Cripple Club & Hans Albers

Once settled in Artica Point, almost frozen, I watch the world happening fast, and I tell you about by singing five verses with different vocal styles, a main instrumental theme in progress all along, and some bits of the other songs in the album to keep it conceptual ;)

Letra  /  Translated Lyrics:

DESDE AQUÍ (HISTORIA CONTEMPORÁNEA)  /  FROM HERE (CONTEMPORARY HISTORY)

Ahora que estoy aquí congelado,  /  Now I’m frozen here,
observo el mundo por internet y radio.  /  I watch the world on internet and radio.
Todo sucede ahí abajo tan rápido,  /  Everything happens so fast down there,
que se aprecian claramente los cambios,  /  that changes are clearly appreciated,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Con mis constantes vitales al mínimo,  /  With my vital signs down to a minimum,
como viviendo una película,  /  like living in a movie,
soy capaz de comprender el mecanismo  /  I am able to understand the mechanism
de la evolución de nuestra civilización,  /  of the evolution of our civilization,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

El frío que congela mi cuerpo  /  The cold that freezes my body
… … no me permite llorar,  /  … … doesn’t allow me to cry,
pero mi corazón sigue caliente muy adentro, en algún lugar,  /  but my heart is still warm deep inside, somewhere,
y puedo al menos entristecerme por lo que veo al mirar  /  and I can at least feel sad about what I see when I look
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Ahora que lo comprendo todo  /  Now when I understand everything,
entiendo que todos somos iguales,  /  I realize we’re all the same,
que sentimos lo mismo aunque ninguno lo sabe.  /  and we feel the same although no one knows it.
Desde aquí me identifico con cada hombre,  /  From here I feel identified with every man,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

Desde aquí me alegro de no estar ahí abajo.  /  From here I’m glad not being down there.
Esperaré a ver qué pasa dentro de cien años.  /  I’ll wait and see what happens a hundred years from now.
Mi cuerpo apenas será un poco más viejo,  /  My body will hardly be a little older,
pero sí cumpliré siglo y medio de sabiduría y tristeza,  /  but I will get a century and a half of wisdom and sadness,
desde aquí como un documental de historia contemporánea.  /  from here like a contemporary history documentary.

_________________
sweet sunshine,
don't turn your light on me
come with us animals 
in the skies we play
we prey on the cold night
we play in the jungle light
and if you’re one of us
we wouldn’t have to fight

we live by the burning lake
been drinking in the rays
I wish I could save the world
or make it my new fireplace

I’m a sun king, 
an animal in heat
breeding by a fiery light
burning up the street

hey sweet sunshine,
turn your light on me
an animal you wanted and,
an animal I’ll be

come out sunlight
make them bleed
you wanted fire and
burning in the streets

hey sunshine
you remember me
I’m still your animal and
the fire in your sheets

yes you’re my sun queen
and when it finally rains
you’ll see fireballs and
burning in the streets

The Meaning Of What

track 4 from the album "B Sides, Alternates and Other Songs" ......... a collection of 10 songs written or recorded during the making of my "For the Stars" album in 2019 but didn't make the album.......releasing one song monthly thru October 2020!

"What Would Jesus Say" is a true "B Side". It was complete and ready to go during the making of my "For the Stars" album but just didn't make the cut. I think I felt I already had a couple of songs that I would call "about our current times" and just didn't want another. This song is about all the "bad behavior" of people in the world today and asks the question, would they act differently if they thought Jesus or someone important in their lives was watching them.

Summoning

In the Corona crisis I experience the world like a kind of monastery. On the one hand connected with much renunciation and privations, with restrictions and abstinence. On the other hand, however, offering one the chance to learn to be amazed again in the silence and seclusion that results from the worldwide regulations. To have time to really let oneself be touched by something that has so far been hastily pressed into blinker-categories. To be surprised by revelations that must have remained hidden in the everyday functioning.    
To be able to say "Wow!" again in every cell of one' s body, however, also requires sometimes to free oneself completely from the now omnipresent digital availability. Unfortunately, the crisis leads partly there even more into digital obsessions. But even there I hope that at some point the weariness after the increasing dullness in the X-th Netflix series, among others, will set in and the desire for real encounters will come forward. 

Lyrics in English:

Wow!

Sit` here in the park without urge 
Without pressure, have plenty of time, don't start nothing

Just there, I look out
The mustiness in me turns out

There is a lake in front of me
That I usually walk by
Always seemed to look the same

Give me away
Soon I am in the thick of it

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

In the silence the spells
In the quietness the wonders of the world

I'm totally exempt from duties
My phone is asleep

Completely freed from availability and digital suffering

My coffee machine is yawning heavily
Nothing that pushes me is working now

The world is lying down
There is no escape

The hectic reflexes: Off!

Give me away
Soon I am in the thick of it

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

In the silence the spells
In the quietness the wonders of the world


Deutscher Originaltext:

Wow!

Sitz` hier im Park ohne Drang, 
Ohne Druck, hab` viel Zeit, fang` nichts an

Bin einfach da, schau` hinaus
Das Müssen in mir stellt sich aus

Vor mir liegt ein See, 
An dem ich sonst vorübergeh`

Schien immer gleich auszusehen

Gebe mich hin
Und bin bald mittendrin

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

Im Stillen die Zauber
Im Schweigen die Wunder der Welt

Bin ganz von Pflichten befreit
Mein Handy schläft
Ganz erlöst von Verfügbarkeit und digitalem Leid

Meine Kaffemaschine gähnt schwer
Nichts was mich puscht geht jetzt mehr

Die Welt legt sich hin
Es gibt kein Entflieh`n

Die Hektik-Reflexe. Aus!

Gebe mich hin
Und bin bald mittendrin

Wow! Wow! Wow!Wow! Wow!

Im Stillen die Zauber
Im Schweigen die Wunder der Welt

Wow!

Wow! (English Lyrics In The Intro)

The sky's grow dark at  2pm there is an eerie calm before the storm.
The Storm of change awaits  The Dark Queen. Can she see whats Ahead? 
Looks to the sky?

Bricolage are proud to present a new split EP from the heart of Glasgow's underground as Fragile X and Esef offer up four bruising slabs of bass driven techno and breakbeat. Both producers have dug deep into their respective sonic arsenals and retrieved the heavy artillery for this one.
'Static Control' has been in the pipeline since late summer 2019 and label owners have been patiently sitting on it waiting to unleash it into the world. We hope you can agree that it's been worth the wait.
Our pick up is  Esef's 'Through The Static' who brings that trademark percussive punch and weighty bass movements that set the scene for a melodic explosion.
4 mixes digital record out May 22th, buy here: https://bricolagecollective.bandcamp.com/album/static-control-bc055

PREMIERE #968 | Esef - Through The Static [Bricolage] 2020

words and music K Gennery

Whispers from the corner, as I walk on by.
Whispers in the corner, seethe and sigh.

You know me so well yet you cannot feel my pain,
tis the solitude messing with my brain,
then the night comes and saves me once again.

Whispers from the corner, let me know.
Whispers in the corner, say you better not go.

It's days like these, I find it so hard to breathe,
the uncertainty of being how I am,
then the night calls and saves me once again.

Another long day to get through,
another long day to get through.

Whispers

I've been playing this song for years, solo and with my band. It's about the pain of getting up and going to work on a cold, rainy day. It definitely has a Beatles feel to it, I admit...

WORDS AND MUSIC BY ROBERT GRAY

When I wake up all I want to do is scream.
I rub my eyes, fall down the stairs and out into the street.
I’m sick and tired and it’s not halfway through the week.
Stick my face in the morning news and drift back off to sleep.

All I want to do is lay all day and be with you.
Life’s too short to do all of the things they want you to.

The coffee’s cold, the bus is late, there’s toothpaste on my shoes.
The old man in the raincoat stinks of stale sweat and booze.
I want to die; I’ve got the weekday morning blues.
Wish that I could say that I’ve got nothing left to lose.

All I want to do is lay all day and be with you.
Life’s too short to do all of the things they want you to.

The Bed Song (solo acoustic)

Thank you to our health service and key workers:
https://www.nhscharitiestogether.co.uk/

This song was originally written in November 2019, before I stopped playing due to severe pain in my left hand. 

Since then, the coronavirus pandemic has struck and I moved home to be closer to my family, with no access to my music for almost 5 months.

Ironically, this song was always about the theme of 'light from darkness', as I took a photo of a rainbow in a fountain near my home and considered the fact that rainbows are only visible when you face away from the Sun. 

Little did I know that this would become a fitting metaphor for the coronavirus pandemic, where the rainbow symbol has been adopted to show support for our neighbour, key workers and NHS staff.

This song is dedicated to all key and frontline workers during these difficult times...

P.S. The seven note chord intro is meant to be symbolic of a rainbow

Lyrics:
I'm locked down
Life gone to ground
I've seen rain
Almost endlessly
I won't forget
Times that we shed
Endless tears
When hope faded away

Light shines now
Upon a broken town
Through the rain
The sun will rise again
From this day
I can feel the change
On darkened days
Lit in spectral ways

Rainbows come 
When you turn your back on the sun

Rainbows Come

We Define Each Other:
"Very inventive great tune. An extraterrestrial corporate ringtone! I'm imagining E.T. doing a TED talk"  - Weerthof

" have a bunch of creatures moving things around in my head...from left to right and back again. they are scattering and running, like night bugs in the light. too cool....pure headphone sugar".  - Pretzels Malone

"Awesomely beautiful and relaxing! The organic/synth sounds are an amazing contribution to the atmosphere...phew, wonderful!" - Utu Lautturi

"ah, here we have some mouse on mars meets the doors ... nice nice" - valeska jakobowicz 

"Intricate. The best things happening where styles are in collision - the indie sway and industrial grittiness abrading at the lightly elastic dub-step" - 

"Naughty-sneaky, with a quirky stomp. A bit like tiptoeing in an 8 bit landscape with gluey sneakers.."
Placement

"Sounds like thinking :) Great job!"  - Sect-on

"Great drums and and sample tweaks, amazing sonic experiementals and analog inputs!"  - Pfaender

"Wonderful sense of time's contiuum, but it's hard to associate with deleuzeian theories"  - _Ginko_

"Great style you've created. I bought your album because it's so unique and interesting. Plus I like to support other bay area bands!"  - Hemorrhage

"have not heard anything like this before but like it a lot"  - Papuna
