Madame Boogie

On The Back Foot

‘The Man at the Party’ a striking alt hip hop dialogue between B and one of ‘those’ guys at a party…
You know the fella. Kinda offended by a woman having the temerity to disagree/ correct him/ have her own opinion. It’s a confrontation and catharsis in song form!

The Man at the Party

Hardball from my debut EP 'An Exorcise in Anger' 

Written by Alexandra Leaving
Produced by Michael Smith at RYP Recording Studios
Mastered by Andy Baldwin at Metropolis Studios


Lyrics:

I guess you always had the vision
While I was cursed by indecision
I play guitar and you play hardball

Then you called me crazy
Well that rhetoric’s just lazy
I’m unhinged at my best
And the rest floats in fragments.

And no more going down to the movies now.

As a matter of fact you can have it back,
All the good, the bad - it’s for you.
And as a matter of fact I don’t even feel bad.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.

We decorate the silence with some light chaotic violence
You’re out on the field, I still wanted to be your home run.
But then I saw your colours and I don’t wanna be another,
Just another thing you step on.

As a matter of fact you can have it back,
All the good, the bad - it’s for you.
And as a matter of fact I don’t even feel bad.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.

I don’t want anything but the way I know,
And I know now this is the end.

As a matter of fact you can have it back,
All the good, all the bad - It was for you
And as a matter of fact I don’t even feel bad.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.
It’s just that sometimes I’m a little blue.

'darlin''

Scratch Kelly: beats and backing vocals
Scotty: lyrics, vocals, guitars, art

Darlin'. You did leave me.
You set me free
from the chains you placed upon me.
And now I'm better off without ya.
Darlin'. I tried to plead.
Got down on my knees.
Still, you made my poor heart bleed
with your projections placed upon me. 

Oh, darlin'. I gave you everything
that you could need.
Yet in actuality
nothin' from me you were wantin'.
Now, darlin', I see through your screen
after smokin' the green
and it makes me believe 
that I'm better off now without ya.

darlin' (with Scratch Kelly)

Lyric after translation :

Hospital Party - Club Mix

White room, it’s not a ball after all.
Why is he looking at me like that, so tall?
White room, white shirt.
It’s cold in here. I’m getting overly hurt.

Hey, hey, I’m dancing around the walls,
Wrapping myself in thoughts. It’s such a tangled call.
Hospital party, everyone’s got their own beat,
Here’s madness, there’s peace – our shared myth complete!

The corridor is long, as if it never ends,
Faces I pass by, but no sunshine extends.
Echoes of conversations echo inside,
I don’t know who speaks, who listens, who hides.

Everything’s white, the colors have fled,
Cover my routine slowly with a pill instead.
Someone’s here again, says I have strength to heal,
But I feel the tears – they’re the warmth that I steal.

Cold walls, reflecting each sound,
Where did that quiet fear of mine be found?
Day and night blend into one thread,
Only within me, this foolish echo’s wed.

Hey, hey, I’m dancing around the walls,
Wrapping myself in thoughts. It’s such a tangled call.
Hospital party, everyone’s got their own beat,
Here’s madness, there’s peace – our shared myth complete!

Words are humming, not really mine,
Bouncing off like in an old room confined.
I ask myself if I’m reaching that state,
Where I no longer believe I control my own fate.

Hey, hey, I’m dancing around the walls,
Wrapping myself in thoughts. It’s such a tangled call.
Hospital party, everyone’s got their own beat,
Here’s madness, there’s peace – our shared myth complete!

The atmosphere created by this  psychedelic crooner is inky-black and cinematic: spaghetti western bass plucks and guitar twangs hang from loping off-kilter drums. All drenched in swirling reverb.

Stuck in a dark corner of your mind. Trapped in a nightmare. The interminable sensation of… bureaucracy. A song about helplessness in a diabolical scenario: Homework… Forever.

Inspired by grand geographical forces, and the pursuit of pure joy through natural psychedelia, the music of Pink Cliffs captures a voice wrestling with expectation and desperation amid the patina and patterns of the physical world.
