Watermelon in Easter Hay (Frank Zappa cover)

Some dishes are best served hot. Our alternative metal song "Stir Fry!" plays with the ambiguity of the word "fry" in cooking and screaming. Both activities help to release tension and calm down. Thanks to Dan, who turned one of my weirdest song ideas into shredding guitars and added the craziest solo I ever heard. I love what we cooked. Itadakimasu 🍜

WOAH!

MUSHROOMS SLICED 
CARROTS DICED 
MINT TO SPICE 
I DON'T MIND 
I STIR FRY, STIR FRY!

TOFU SILK 
COCONUT MILK 
RICE DISTILLED 
I DON'T MIND I STIR FRY! 

Let's cook soba noodles 
Or fill it with rice 
Don't boil it for too long
Add herbs and some spice 

My wok is my sanctum 
When I have my tantrum 
Insert crunchy veggies and let it... 
STIR FRY! 

OYSTER SAUCE 
HOISIN SAUCE 
TERIYAKI SAUCE 
I DON'T MIND I STIR FRY, STIR FRY 

SESAME SEEDS 
SUGAR SNAP PEAS 
COREANDER LEAVES 
I DON'T MIND I STIR FRY! 

Let's cook soba noodles
Or fill it with rice 
Don't boil it for too long 
Cause aroma dies 

My wok is my sanctum
When I have my tantrum 
Insert crunchy veggies and let it... 
STIR FRY! 

YEAH!

Stir Fry!

This is a remixed and remastered version of my first attempt at writing songs & making an album from back in 2019

Exiternity (2024 Remaster)

A sentimental country-ish ballad with a big sad finish.
Dedicated to anyone suffering from memory loss. Thanks for listening.
Lyrics:
I can still remember
Felicia in December
Outside in the cold
Smoking Swisher Sweet Cigarettes
But she would always forget
If you're gonna inhale that shit
You know she always got sick
She'd chewed down the tip

It's like I told you on the phone
My mind is not all my own
All my memories are dissolving
Our nights in Arroyo Park
Out feeling that spark
That Datsun that would never start
My bad Cure haircut (disaster!)
My heart was beating faster
A sketch of a love scene
Painted behind
A gothic old master

I was selfish with my time
And now I seem to lead my life
Conducting orchestras in my mind
Oh, I don't know how this sounds
But sometimes I listen to the ground
To hear and feel the rumblings
I think that you're coming around

All my memories are dissolving
Soon, I'll have no memories of this world
I'll have no memories of this world
So let's go out tonight
And shoot out the lights!
Let's break our hearts tonight
I'll have no memories of this world

I wanted to drop you this line
To thank you for the time
And thank you for being in my life
Thank you for being my life

Let's Break Our Hearts Tonight

Sometimes

Sean Nerney:  Strings & Synths

Dirk Taubenheim:  Guitars, Bass, Vocals at Vestervang, DK

This is a true story about a beautiful lady from the north. A million thanks to Sean for his magical strings and synths and to my friend and band mate Ben who worked very hard on this song.

Beautiful Helen from the north    you brightened up my dark phase like a torch, scared to ask you but I did      and I was happy like a kid.

You accepted my enquiry      a collaboration of you and me,
such an unexpected pleasure,      what a musical treasure!

I' d never heard a song of you before   when I saw your poster on a wooden door, your beautiful face just caught my eyes   -   I got kind of hypnotised.

You are also on SC      like many others and like me,
your music is stunning,      your voice is so enchanting.

Then I saw your video      of a song that' s called Ayo,
such a beauty, such a grace      in your lovely smiling face.

Oh Helen,      tears are wellin'      because of happiness      that' s how it is
I don' t wanna stress you  -  or possess you - it' s just about a song - why should that be wrong?

It took you ten months to drop a line      writing "sorry, I' ve got no time,
there are so many other things      and every minute my mobile rings".


1/2 VERSE   instr.

Beautiful Helen from the north      you brightened up my dark phase like a torch  and whatever you choose to do      I' ll be waiting for you.

Coney Island Day
by Nadia Selvaggi

Let's get away!
The city's heat is driving us insane
The Grand Street hydrant has run dry
The air conditioner doesn't run on high
The Q train's only half an hour away

Ah, Coney Island day!

Feel the cool breeze in the sky,
a hundred feet up on high
The Wonder Wheel and Cyclone
are guaranteed to electrify

Where umbrellas dot the shoreline,
the sun burns under rainbow skies,
and kites swirl like ribbons in the sky,
just like my spirit does today

Let's take a holiday!

At Surf & Stillwell down the boardwalk,
we'll eat a Famous Nathan's hotdog,
play a game of volleyball,
ride in a bumper car and stay late,
and watch the fireworks display

We'll stroll down Riegelmann Boardwalk,
and take the rides at Luna Park,
eat candy apples and popcorn,
Totonno's pizza coal fired
on a mid summer day

We'll take a little holiday,
west of Ocean Parkway
Feel our troubles fade away
in Brooklyn's little hideaway

Ah, Coney Island Day!

Lonely sits the city
Now desolate,
Barren and empty!

We watch the fall
In silent apathy
Nothing’s real
Augmented reality

Walking sleep
Our lips are sutured
Our eyes stitched shut
To past and future

Self-serving
Apathy
Buried along
with our fantasies

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Silicon smiles
Hide mechanical gears
Oiled with blood
Spilled in fear

Enemies
Seek our demise
Choking us
With honeyed lies

Parasites
Have wormed their way in
They cause our fall
And mock our ruin

In the midst
of our distraction
ravening wolves
Have overtaken

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Lamentations (HoboCop & Cosmic Keanu)

Thank you very much for listen

Lyrics
The rain is finally over
I saw the sun
The rain is finally over 
I saw you smile

You lost control over your choice
You left the only one you loved
You lost control over your choice
You lost the only one you loved

No more Lights
No more Dark
Nothing here 
Nothing there
im outside in this storm
nobody could see
No more lights 
no more dark
Nothing there
Nothing here
Im inside 
Nobody could see

You lost control over your choice
You lost the only one you loved
You lost control over your choice
You lost the only one you loved
( bridge

The rain is finally over
I saw the sun
The rain is finally over 
I saw you smile

No more Lights
No more Dark
Nothing here 
Nothing there
im outside in this storm
nobody could see
No more lights .............

Lunatics 137 Sofa Gedanken/ Joerxworx & Ratzzz

A dreamy short story song about beautiful codependent summer lovers in Technicolor.
Lyrics:
I'm a sucker for those people pleasers
You'll find this out as my character unfolds
I need something to believe in
I'm an aging misanthrope

You only love me when you're high
Sitting outside
It's summertime
Glistening
By the pool of light

You really have your type
Us underachievers
You need a receiver
Transmitter
Frequency set to true believers
You're exactly right
You're absolutely right
Living life to your own code
The lies we tell ourselves to live (2X)

You only love me when you're high
The lies we tell ourselves to live
All the lies that we tell ourselves to live
You've got to fight for it
You've got to live your life by it
As we make love on the kitchen floor...
