This song is about being stuck in an endless loop of working life, the realisation of never ending monotony, to finally working out how to handle it and the hope of escaping it.

Ran to the mountain top but still not high or far enough away 
I still could hear them call my name 
Chocking on soda pop it fizzled to my tired and worried brain 
For a moment I forgot their pain 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
My girl is beautiful sharp mind hot body personality 
She brings to life my wildest dreams 
My mind is hijacked thinking real is fake 
now true and fantasy is on a collision course full steam 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, Waving to each other from across the cell 
deja vu  I lose my mind just thinking bout you
But then it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here 
Oh yeah 
Believe in me like I believe in you 
She has a softer side when showcased on the full sized movie screen
But when the lights go down oh no
From far away the hurricane looks like a pillow in the blue 
The silver lining hides the truth 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, waving to each other from across the cell
I used to get real scared just thinking bout it WWIII 
now psychopathic thugs have got nothing on me
But still it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here

come around here

TwentyFirstCenturyMedievalWorld

Yea I know it’s  better
Than it’s ever been before
With all the  technobabble things
That we all vie for 
Like wi-fi and internet
Google this and Uber that
And here’s one thing you can’t forget      
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world

Now apathy’s an atrocity
A plague on the society
Acceptance and obedience
Feeds the endless greed

Like billionaires in rocket ships
Carrots hanging from a stick
And here’s one thing you can’t forget  
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world
Medieval world

Solo

Genuflection
Masters of the Universe
By the grace of God
Oh Buck Rogers

One generation to the next
Ad nauseam
begone you old bad habits
So we carry on
To live a life without the threat
Of crazy wars or massive debt
And here’s one thing you can’t forget  
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world
We’re still
In a twenty first century medieval world
medieval world
med-ie-val-world

Here comes a very special version of the song - chilled psychedelic indie pop, with the spherical synthesizers of our friend Fady Haddad from Baltimore (USA), who was already a guest on some songs on our last album. 'Sunchild X Fady' is a remix - but also much more than that. Get caught up in the indie rock / pop crossover atmosphere of this track!

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

It Won't Take Forever

The song is about joining your first band at fifty and thinking maybe you should have done this earlier. Photo was taken at our first recording session, in the loft!

Days Of Silence

TheSeedsWeSow

Well hey now people
What’s all the commotion about
Yea it must be really something
The way ya like to
Scream and shout

Now we put the left foot in
Take the left foot out
Put the right foot
Straight into the mouth

Don’t you know
It’s just the seeds we sow

Yea there’s been
Scheming, cheating
Messing around
Well I’lll let you know bro
Kinda getting me down

If you can’t do the time
Then don’t do the crime
Cause I think it’s gonna make me lose
My mi-mi-mi-mind

Well I hear you say  
You wanna make it great again
But how bout make it
Greater than it’s ever been

Yea how bout it
Be a real go getter
A cool trend setter
Make it better than ever

Yea greater is better
And so much more clever
Just better than ever 
“Don't look back, you can never look back”
That’s what Don Henley says
So you just best look ahead 

Into the future 

Well hey now folks
What ya’ll fussing about
Well it must be pretty special
The way you wanna 
Duke it out

Now we put the left foot in
Take the left foot out
Put the right foot
Straight into the mouth

Don’t you know
It’s just the seeds we sow

Yea there’s been
Scheming, cheating
Messing around
Well I’ll let you know bro
Kinda getting me down

If you can’t do the time
Then just don’t do the crime
Cause I think it’s gonna make me lose
My mi-mi-mi-mind

Yea I hear you say  
Ya wanna make it great again
And that makes me wonder 
Exactly how and when

Yea I hear you say  
Ya wanna make it great my friend
But how bout make it 
Greater than it’s ever been
Let me hear ya say it 
How bout make it greater than it’s 
Ever been

With things like 
A living wage
Universal health care
Affordable education
To name a few
Its just catching up with the rest of
The western civilised world
For crying out loud
So come on why don’t ya

Lyrics:

Dark Horse 

I'm drinking blood, sweat and tears
All night and all day
You won't see me coming
I am still too far away
I'm putting in the miles 
I know what it takes

I'm a dark horse
On a long course
But you can place your bets 
On this dark horse

I got a hunger in my belly
An unquenchable thirst
I can see the finish line
I'm coming in first
I ain't giving up
Until I leave em in the dirt
No, I ain't giving up 
Until I leave em in the dirt

I'm pumping steel attitude
Strong body, strong mind
I've got my blinkers on
Staying (alt. I'm) focused and aligned
Put your money on my name
'Cause this race is mine

I'm a dark horse
On a long course
But you can place your bets 
On this dark horse

I got a hunger in my belly
An unquenchable thirst
I can see the finish line
I'm coming in first
I ain't giving up
Until I leave em in the dirt
No, I ain't giving up
Until I leave em in the dirt

I'm heading down the home stretch
The payoff's at hand
I can see the finish line
This is my time to shine

I'm a dark horse
On a long course
But you can place your bets 
On this dark horse

Back to You (I'll Find the Way)

Every time we break away
I feel blue,
just thinking of you

Can’t hide away
from the pain,
feel it night and day

Heart weighs heavy 
on my mind,
thoughts are unkind

So much trouble 
there to find,
I can’t unwind

Only one thing
on my mind,
silence on the line

Without you, 
I can’t rest
It’s meaningless

I feel so lonely I could die
Without you

In the dark my mind plays tricks on me 
you set me free

And when I call out your name
I feel eternity

Has it been a year or just a day
Time’s gone away
Time’s gone away
Time’s gone away

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

Wait there for me,
I’ll be there for you

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

I feel so lonely I could die
Without you

In the dark my mind plays tricks on me 
you set me free

Every time we break away
I feel blue,
Just thinking of you

Can’t hide away
From the pain
Feel it night and day

Without you, 
I can’t rest
It’s meaningless

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

Wait there for me,
I’ll be there for you

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

All Hallow's Eve (Nightmareless)🎃🖤

Hey don't forget who you are
Don't forget your face
Its not Halloween
Its Hallow's Eve

I don't know who I am
I don't where I've been
Human junk!!
Just words and so much skin
Stick my hand through the cage
Of this endless routine!!
Just some flesh caught
In this big broken machine!!

Hey don't forget who you are
Don't forget your face
Its not Halloween
Its Hallow's Eve

Its' Hallow's!!

Lyrics

Oh, ohh
Well, well,
There are many things, that we can talk about
And there are lots of things
And there are lots of things that we don’t talk about
And there are some things
There are some things completely covered out
And there are not many things
And there are not many things that i would sing out loud
Not so many things

And when I close my eyes
It's nearly out of sight
And when I plug my ears
the words are barely to hear
And when i shut my mouth
There’ll be no coming out
Without a mouth
There’ll be no coming out, (3)
No…

Well, there’s so many things, we can’t talk about
And there’s so many things we’ll never figure out
But there is one thing, i love to sing out loud
But there is one thing,

But there is one thing,
I’d love to sing out loud
I love to sing out loud…

One Thing (collab with Xian3)

Texte Français et Google traduction
ELLE AVANCE DOUCEMENT

Marquées sur le visage
Des traces de souffrances
Un mal bien avant l'âge
Pourquoi ce manque de chance
Que dire d'un accident
Un mauvais coup du sort
La perte d'un enfant
Parti si vite et mort

Dans toutes ses blessures
Qui l'on marquées à vie
Nombreuses autres brûlures
Lui prennent le cœur aussi
L'absence d'amour
Qu'elle n'a pas accepté
Depuis ce triste jour
Quand lui, il a quitté

Mais elle avance doucement
Se méfie tout simplement
Elle a trop peur de retomber
Créant un nuage pour s'échapper
Car ce n'est qu'en altitude
Qu'elle se retrouve en plénitude

Elle se refait une vie
Toute simple et ordinaire
Dans ses pensées aussi
C'est une douce mère
Mais là-haut bat son cœur
Elle n'oubliera jamais
Mauvais jour de malheur 
Fait de mal et regrets

Elle reste à exister
Et toujours comme elle peut
Essayant d'avancer
En faisant de son mieux
Car ses autres petits
Qui eux n'ont rien à voir
Font aussi toute sa vie
Et mérite ses regards
 
Mais elle avance doucement
Se méfie tout simplement
Elle a trop peur de retomber
Créant un nuage pour s'échapper
Car ce n'est qu'en altitude
Qu'elle se retrouve en plénitude

Elle se fait vivre ainsi
Malgré toutes ses traces
Et attend qu'aujourd'hui
Que le malheur s'efface
Doucement dans sa tête
Pour reprendre un chemin
Et revivre peut être
Ne voyant que demain

Mais elle avance doucement
Se méfie tout simplement
Elle a trop peur de retomber
Créant un nuage pour s'échapper
Car ce n'est qu'en altitude
Qu'elle se retrouve en plénitude

SHE MOVES SLOWLY
Marked on the face
Traces of suffering
An illness well before its time
Why this lack of luck
What to say about an accident
A bad twist of fate
The loss of a child
Gone so quickly and dead

In all his wounds
Who marked them for life
Numerous other burns
Take his heart too
The absence of love
That she didn't accept
Since that sad day
When he left

But she moves slowly
Just be wary
She's too afraid of falling again
Creating a cloud to escape
Because it's only at altitude
May she find herself in fullness

She's making a new life
Very simple and ordinary
In his thoughts too
She's a sweet mother
But up there beats his heart
She will never forget
Bad day of misfortune
Hurts and regrets

She remains to exist
And always as she can
Trying to move forward
Doing your best
Because his other little ones
Who they have nothing to do with
Also do all his life
And deserves his looks

But she moves slowly
Just be wary
She's too afraid of falling again
Creating a cloud to escape
Because it's only at altitude
May she find herself in fullness

She makes herself live like this
Despite all its traces
And wait until today
May the misfortune fade away
Softly in his head
To get back on a path
And maybe live again
Seeing only tomorrow

But she moves slowly
Just be wary
She's too afraid of falling again
Creating a cloud to escape
Because it's only at altitude
May she find herself in fullness

ELLE AVANCE DOUCEMENT

Crazy Little Thing Called Love Cover

lyrics:
Since we started, we had a long way from home
now never departed, we have to stand tall
Never let it down, no threat from the wind
rain or thunder nor from any evil seed

Always i wonder, what's next on the line
this daily life plunders whatever vital that shines 

i keep on dreamin' aiming high
but this weird feeling shutters my mind

but if i'm keeping all worries behind
i should remain believin', relentless will for life to find

fightin' for no reason, ain't gonna give me peace of mind
feeding my ego, had lost so much precious time

Now it's the right time, to think what's next
healing this heart and let the mind to rest

Since We Started

Imagine you're in the 1950s and the only things you enjoy is your red shiny car and your family. It's time to hit the pedal to metal and rock. No idea what made me write some black humour blues about drinking and driving, but you won't stop dancing once you hit the play button. Special thanks to the whole band, who really rocked this.

==== Lyrics ====

Everybody's got real big problems
Not everything is worth a fight
The atmosphere is not always solemn
Can't get a hold of my car tonight

Oh oh, I turn the key, oh oh
And put the pedal to the metal - and rock!

Mama told me not to drive fast,
Behave well, commit no crime
Two pints of beer won't make my pain last
I got no pity for a dime

Oh oh, I turn the key, oh oh
And put the pedal to the metal - let’s rock!

Uh, look what you made me do
All pumped up with fuel
I reek of gasoline
And put the pedal to the metal and rock
And put the pedal to the metal and rock

The wind is blowing into my face
Fallen leaves late in September
So fucking tired of this rat race
Thank God I modified the camber

Oh oh, I took it easy, oh
And put the pedal to the metal - and rock!

Guardian angels burst in laughter
When my car got out of control
Another man who leaves two daughters
That's the price for rock'n'roll

Oh oh, I turned the key, oh oh
And put the pedal to the metal - and rocked!

And put the pedal to the metal - and rocked!
And put the pedal to the metal - and rocked!

Pedal To Metal

A fascinating story that inspired me to write the lyrics to this track.
Who’s Next !

THE 27 CLUB has become one of the most elusive and remarkably tragic coincidences in rock & roll history. The term became widely known after Kurt Cobain’s death in 1994, with rock fans connecting his age to that of Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones and Jimi Hendrix – though it was notable to fans in the early 1970s when those four visionaries died within just two years of each other. When Amy Winehouse passed away at age 27 in 2011, it attracted even more attention to the significance of the age. While the club has been largely connected to musicians, it has expanded since, as many young actors and artists have lost their lives due to everything from addiction to suicide to freak accidents. The unfortunate and untimely losses are connected to the 27club.

Club27

V1
We are just a product of our Own
Environment
From where we go  to who we invent 
Mother told him  please don’t join that stupid club 
Don’t wanna be a casualty and end up misunderstood
He said no I wanna be were  the spotlight on me 
I’ve got the minerals and a top grade degree 

Chorus 
Oh my god it’s so Absurd
Oh my god haven’t you heard 
Of the Club 27
It’s a personal heaven x2
We’re you share the same number 
And forever stay younger 
Avoid club 27
Its your personal heaven 

V2
There is an investment in self car crash tv 
And expressions in our very own working Graffiti
Unlimited energy when we spray the white line 
But that’s as boring as breathing air in time 
And watching you in your very sad demise 
And waiting in club 27 for the next big surprise 

Chorus to end
