paralised by all the lies you share to be recognized
by so called friends
these streets will burn
some will be hurt
you share the hate not questioning
can't you learn?
we're all the same biologie
coincidence where you have been
when you were born
so bored to hear it all again you're yelling to convince yourself
your small self

staring into the cold
where will you go seeing traffic seeing shows
racing into the cold
where will we go
seeing tragic seeing shows

Into The Cold

The idea of this song came from a local train running sea side. In the process of music composition, continuous sixteenth-notes made this song rather like a steam locomotive than like an electric train. Jellyfish was reminded of the sea, and you can find sounds expressing it in the song.

Baby I'm in Love With You - Written, Performed and Produced in 2016 by Janine and the Problem and Wou-Wou & the Wormling:

BABY I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU
   
I’ve got a lot of good things tucked into my pocket
For you when you get home
I’ve got a picture of you right here in my locket
For when I am alone

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
At least that's what they said
But I can't hold out too much longer
I'd rather be with you instead

I bought a little candle and put it in the front
So your heart won't need to roam
Thinkin bout the moment when I can put a kiss to
Your lips when you come home

Absence makes the heart grow truer         
They told me it was so
You know my heart just can't be bluer
I wish that you would come back home
	
I miss you baby, I miss you so
I miss you baby, please come home

I've got a lot of feelings tucked into my pocket
They want to go outside
I'm thinking 'bout the day when we won't be apart
And I'll have you by my side
 
Cause absence made my heart grow fonder
My love just grew and grew 
I can't keep quiet any longer
Baby I'm in love with you!

 



Baby, I'm In Love With You!  --Janine and the Problem with Wou-Wou & the Wormling

Lyrics

The beauty, fire-walker and run-ragged dancer,
Circle the square and run all the faster.
The wolf-hound, the pauper and quick-witted crook,
Circle the square and the fat banker’s hook.

Summer is gone.
All Hail to the Sun.
Summer is gone.
All Hail to the Sun.

The earth is a circle that never shall be broken.
The circle is a secret that never shall be spoken.
And Love is a spire that spirals forever.
A spiral in our blood, to heal us together.

The Lovers, The Fool and the old, thin Magician,
Quarter the night and the Moon’s intuition.
The dwarves and the dance-girls in glitter processions,
Quarter the night with the Moon’s intuition.

Lyrics, vocals by Steph Sweet © 2016 All Rights Reserved

Like Druids

Gathering on the equinox to 
Watch the sun rise 
In the morning
To give thanks
For the bountiful harvest
And prepare for the darkness
Of the winter
It’s time to build an alter, gather all the fruits and vegetables
And offer apples to 
The goddess
Sharing food and gathering one’s blessings 
As leaves change their colors and fall from the trees
Blanketing the earth for her long winter’s nap
And the sun’s seeds
Looses power to
The darkness
Of the lunar ruled sky
Listen to the knowledge of the third eye
As the inner maharaja speaks the truth

Summer is gone.
All Hail to the Sun.

La Luna Y El Sol

Portrait of an inner Landscape

Gently (L.A. Reprise)

Same Time, Same Place : Bluebottles : December 2016

Hylda from Balham, our No. 1 fan, has set up a "Facebook page" devoted to the band. We'll be contributing new songs, archive photos and, of course, road-tales/philosophical musings from my autobiography.
https://www.facebook.com/Bluebottlesnewwave/

There's always a tendency at this time of year for people to focus on the things they think they need rather than being thankful for what they've already got. 

Swept along by the consumerist tide, it's so easy to lose perspective.
It reminds me of an opportunity which came our way in the late seventies when we'd relocated to the States and were gathering rave reviews from the style, culture and origami magazines. 
In fact, there's a chapter in my autobiography dealing specifically with our ahead-of-its-time TV series

{The book is available for a limited time in a collector's edition complete with genuine gas station receipts and an unused ticket for our 1980 "Tea with the Shah" concert. A must for all true fans}

"The network guy was confident the new serial could make us the next Charlie's Angels. 
A mystery-solving undercover rock band comprising an attorney from Brooklyn, a former Belgian racing driver turned playboy and a hard-bitten ex-cop from Boston, solving crimes in between sell-out stadium gigs. 

As he was fond of saying  : They're gonna love you, baby.

He wanted to get production underway before a rival network launched their new series about a crack commando unit, sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit, still wanted by the government and surviving as soldiers as fortune. Judging by that synopsis their plan would never come together.

We cancelled the lucrative Jimmy Carter-Second-Term gig on the advice of the focus groups, all of whom were confident that Gold, Franconchamps & Murphy would be a ratings smash."

A sobering reminder that things don't always turn out how as planned....
Which is why the new Bluebottles personal organiser app makes an ideal present for 2017.
And why not make next year's brand new Bluebottles album your first event-reminder ?
{ Only compatible with MS-DOS ver 3.3 & later}

Same Time, Same Place

Every TV show and every song I hear speaks to me
Every advert knows my name, every jingle rings a bell
A Christmas movie, two hours that I won't see again
Here's to Capra, Dickens, Crosby, to imaginary 
Friends, friends, friends. 
This silent night

Pass the parcel, rip the wrap, party spirit 1-2-3
Hear the music, when it stops, take a seat they're always free
Drain another glass, smile, a joke I've heard before
Lines are fumbled, not my key, wake me up when wassailing's
Done, done, done
Down, down, down
Have I ever been.... solo

All washed up, the tide rolls in
A kind of Crusoe for today
Empty bottle SOS
Have I missed the postage date?
Guess I've missed the postage date
Yes, I've missed the postage date

Was it one wise king who sang the Lonely Christmas thing?
Or just some other man trapped inside a tribute band

Same time, same place, next year

Same Time, Same Place - {ELT--Gary Reeves--gordon m}

ARISE - This  Song is Pure Ugly Beautiful . Dedictaed To The Lost & Miss Placed

Short songster song about loneliness in the city I wrote 20 years ago.

Now I've given a jazzy feel in 6/4 to the unique strophe which has only chords E & Em, transitioning to 4/4 rhythm towards the unique 'refrain' line, with up to 3 different chords!

All but drums are 'organic' tracks: bass, pocket sax, guitars and voice.

Translated Lyrics:

Combatir la soledad,  /  To fight loneliness, 
nada fácil a mi edad.  /  not at all easy at my age.
Ser comido por la ciudad,  /  To be eaten by the city, 
combatir la soledad.  /  to fight loneliness.

Quiero creer que estarás en casa esta noche  /  I want to believe you'll be at home tonight.

ER39FI06 RUIZZO©1996 – FRANCÉS RECORDS®2017

Combatir la soledad (Comido por la ciudad)

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

ER40FI07

Si tú me faltaras (de tedio moriría)

see how they reach for gold
masses will sell their souls
masses masses
try to manipulate
their thoughts are all calculate
so grow your wealth and surpress
all the next
we're guests we're visitors
mammals at last
and all dead when we leave

want the best for my mind
this stupid humankind
masses masses
hypnotized and stabilized
sometimes our thoughts just randomized
so grow your wealth and surpress
all the next
we're guests we're visitors
mammals at last
and all dead when we leave

right into my head and into your heart
it's our last encore
the same mistakes again and than again
it's our last encore

Mammals

Thanks everyone for listening and supporting and all you smiles, laughter, head bobs, swaying, toe tapping, and finger snapping. I appreciate it all! I am glad we are all still here after all these years and SC scares and alternate site distractions. 

This is another track I made many years ago. I made it audio bin style by rearranging baselines and guitar parts from old stems from Blankets. If my recollection is correct, I might have reused parts of “Falling Off (The Precipice),” which is currently set on private. It has been sitting on my hard drive asking to be released but I have been telling it no, you need to be patient and wait. Once I finally felt I could release it, it sounded old to me, lol. So Wou-Wou and Wizardshoes / AKA Ill Dub came to the rescue. They resuscitated it, fed it good food, and dressed it up real nice, and now it is ready to go! 

Big thanks to Wou-Wou and Wizardshoes for always being there for me! You guys rock!

Lyrics: 
Sometimes you don’t make me feel right
Sometimes when I’m with you it’s out of sight
It don’t have to all be great
It don’t have to all be real

I’m here with you
I’m a be right here with you
Baby I’m right here with you
I’m a be standing right here with you

This is some sticky love 
This is some sticky love yea

I might be sad but it’s not your fault 
You might be mad and it’s all my fault 

It might not be all good
It might get all real
What ever happens to us still 

I’m here with you
I’m a be right here with you
Baby I’m right here with you
I’m a be standing right here with you

Digging

I was climbing up the walls cause nothing would happen
I brought my thoughts to a halt, just to forget it

I was digging up the ground
Nothing could be found 
Digging up the ground
Nothing could be found
Digging up the ground
There's nothing to be found
Digging up the ground
Nothing could be found

All the obstacles and twists, that come your way
Are still the same the next day

I was digging up the ground
Nothing could be found 
Digging up the ground
Nothing to be be found
I was digging up the ground
There's nothing to be found
Digging up the ground
There's nothing to be found
Digging up the ground
There's nothing to be found
Digging up the ground
There's nothing to be found
Digging up the ground
Nothing to be found

Beyond The Skies
By: Al'Z(@al-zheimer-un-autre-jour), Livra LB(https://soundcloud.com/livra-lamento-blues), Tainted Icarus

In your breath
In my moan
I can hear our silent storm

Fault on me
Fault on you
While the truth is not our home

You can walk
I can run
But why tread this path of thorns

Loss on me
Loss on you
So you tell me who has won

Time to be beyond the skies
Time to try beyond the skies
Time to see beyond the skies
Time to fly beyond the skies

Taking pills
Tricking minds
Always running all the time

Plastic face
And other tools
Keep on playing game of fools

Throwing arrows
More and more
But those targets always move

You can dress
For the show
Like a doll being used

Time to be beyond the skies
Time to try beyond the skies
Time to see beyond the skies
Time to fly beyond the skies

Set sail on a sea of noodles

(Lyrics)

You feel the chill in your bones
and you hope i'm wrong
sadistic image will glare
are you even there?

I think it's waiting for you
there's nothing that you can do
another hole in your life
and you'll be down there tonight
i think it's waiting for you
there's nothing that you can do
another hole in your life
and you'll be down there tonight

Your hopes and dreams are all dead bloody red
i'll keep the thoughts of the pain in my head

Obsession depression it takes its hold
and then you scream and you beg
can't take no more

I think it's waiting for you
there's nothing that you can do
another hole in your life
and you'll be down there tonight
i think it's waiting for you
there's nothing that you can do
another hole in your life
and you'll be down there tonight

Your mind is fucked in just the right way
i'll look you in the eye you can stay

Uncontrolled reaction you'll have the satisfaction
a darkened reminder this is the place you'll find her

I think it's waiting for you
there's nothing that you can do
another hole in your life
and you'll be down there tonight
i think it's waiting for you
there's nothing that you can do
another hole in your life
and you'll be down there tonight

They've been guiding a way for you to see
still get lost everyday now you can't be

A miserable pile of human filth
you'll get what you deserve and that's for real

I still get lost on my way
i'm losing track of these days

Can't remember it don't matter can't remember
if you listen you would know it if you'd listen you would know

Another Hole

Here is the title track from my album the memory museum which is a concept album ..looking back from the future to the echos of the past 

lyrics and music by Jim mystic manser 2019
photo shot at arnos vale bristol uk 

I let the pictures wander round
from a box i got in the lost and found 
so sick and tired of waiting rooms and interviews 
Maybe i will wake up and see what tomorrow brings
and close my eyes and dream of all the senseless things
maybe need a shake up or another change of scene
as im exsisting in a memory in a long for-gotton dream
i want to walk away but i had a change of heart 
i dont know what to say now its all just fell apart
its an echo..its a feeling like forgotton deju vu
its primeval and confusing a part of me and you
chorus
#In a museum of my memorys
#all my friends and enemies 
#were left out for show
#in a museum of the artifacts
and our heros made of wax
left from long ago

2, Why have i lost self belief
in all the good things i found released
when spectators came to watch it go around the bend
Maybe i will exit and live a brand new life
on a foreign shore from the trouble or the strife 
out where there are no gadjets commuters or tv
just living in a cave to paint pictures and be free
you no the tide is turning when the prices have gone up
to watch your citys burning all inside a paper cup
cause in the distant future ancestors will look back
as part of a collection in a room of bric and brack

The Memory Museum

Coldness of winter described with sound, à la Joé! We have been getting a very cold and snowy winter here and it inspired me some new music. This track has been recorded with a blazing fire in the wood stove, away from the cold, with my cat watching me play bass...
Best enjoyed with headphones, or better yet, a big sound system!
