LYRICS:

Whisper in my ear darling
Wipe away the fear my darling
Never move far from me
Let's pretend this will always be

Dance with me 'till morning
Kiss me without warning
Hold me close
And never let me go go

Whisper in my ear darling
Wipe away the fear my darling
Never move far from me
Let's pretend this will always be

Because in your arms
I finally get the chance
To let down my guard
It thaws out my heart

In your eyes
I find to my surprise
Spring arrives
It's safe to feel alive

Whisper in my ear darling
Wipe away the fear my darling
Never move far from me
Let's pretend this will always be

Dance with me 'till morning
Kiss me without warning
Hold me close
And never let me go

LYRICS:
----------------------------
(townie)
People in this town, they've all seen you hangin' around
They don't like it
They're not buyin' what you're sellin', standing' on your box and yellin'
They don't like it
Their sentiment is strong, and they asked you move along
They don't like it. They really don't like it.

(monty)
People in this town, one by one they sneak around
They seem to like it
They come and they go, they never let the neighbors know
That they like it
They may hide it from the rest, but their coins inside my chest say they like it
Oh, I think they like it. They like it.

(townie)
With your shell games and dice, I ain't tellin' you twice
I don't like it
They're down on their knees while you sell them your disease
I don't like it
With your slug milk and wine, they're just fish on your line
I don't like it I really don't like it.

(monty)
I am just a businessman, I make my living where I can
The way I like it
I am sure you understand, I'm just meeting their demand
And I like it
So there's no need to taunt, I just give them what they want and they like it, 
Oh I think they like it, and I like it

(townie)
They say that you're depraved, that you're sick and can't be saved
We don't like it.
And the medicine you sell isn't making them well
We don't like it.
So just get on down the road, if you'd like, I'll help you load
We don't like it. We really don't like it.

(monty)
My patience wearing thin, I take another one on the chin
Because they like it.
So I guess I'll up and go, take my tack and tents in tow
I don't like it
But your virtue is a clown, so I'll go to the next town
Where they like it. I'll go where they like it.
Where they like it.

Special Days Always

This is an urgent song 
I wrote it after watching some documents from the association 'Expedition 7eme continent' 

C'est une chanson urgente 
Je l'ai écrite en regardant des documents de l'association 'Expédition 7eme continent'

(traduit plus bas)

Deep inside it lies
Yet, it's out of sight
But you'd never guess its size
'Cause, it's out of sight

Under the waves now

Oceans weep, their yarns untold
Our future is sold
A tiny plastic weaves a tale
Our ship is in hell

Yet, it's out of sight

Underwater sense
All these particles in a toxic trance
Despair or Esperance
Nature that calls for a second chance
Will we still finance
The show, undersea, of a deadly dance

Under the waves now

Oceans weep, their yarns untold
Our future is sold
A tiny plastic weaves a tale
Our ship is in hell
A nano plastic ruined the game
Our life won't be the same

We'll cry this plastic age
And we find it strange, how huge is this change
The water cycle, then
Will send back again, this plague to the men
Deep down inside our throats
All those tiny boats, will convey the notes
For a dark new score
Then we'll say "no more !", and we'll pray

Oceans weep for their disease
But I, but I can't breathe
A tiny plastic weaves a tale
Our ship is in hell
This nano plastic will ruin the game
And Life won't be the same


-----
Au fond profondemment, cela git
Pourtant c'est à l'abri des regards
Mais vous ne devineriez jamais sa taille
Car c'est à l'abri des regards

Sous les vagues maintenant

Les océans pleurent, leurs histoires ne sont pas racontées
Notre avenir est vendu
Un minuscule plastique tisse une histoire
Notre navire est en enfer

Pourtant c'est à l'abri des regards

Sensation sous-marines
Toutes ces particules en transe toxique
Désespoir ou espérance
La nature demande une seconde chance
Financerons-nous encore
Le spectacle sous les mers d'une danse mortelle

Sous les vagues maintenant

Les océans pleurent, leurs histoires ne sont pas racontées
Notre avenir est vendu
Un minuscule plastique tisse une histoire
Notre navire est en enfer
Un nano plastique a ruiné le jeu
Notre vie ne sera plus la même

Nous pleurerons cet âge de plastique
Et nous trouverons étrange l'ampleur de ce changement
Le cycle de l'eau, alors
Renverra de nouveau ce fléau aux hommes
Au fond de nos gorges
Tous ces petits bateaux, transmettront les notes
D'une sombre nouvelle partition 
Alors nous dirons "plus jamais ça !", et nous prierons

Les océans pleurent leur maladie
Mais moi, mais je ne peux plus respirer
Un plastique minuscule tisse une histoire
Notre navire est en enfer
Ce nano plastique va ruiner le jeu
Et la vie ne sera plus la même

AVANT GARDE | GUTTER PROG | GARAGE JAZZ

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
