Lyrics:

Jack in the box
A real elusive fox
This day is the day you won't forget
When I unwind my best
If you wanna see a new world (wanna see a new world)
All you have to do is come out and play (come out and play)

You say old fashioned
I say just roll it
Why fight it when you know you gon' like it
Keep it the same
I'm not the one to blame
When temptation reaches over
Then you just come over

Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
You know you gon' like it
No point in fightin'
You know you have the key
Unlocking is free

Are you scared of this challenge
Can't handle the prize without the wildness
Will I take the time to control you
Or will you have to seek me for your interview
If you wanna seek your truth (wanna seek your truth)
All you have to do is fall into temptation (fall into temptation)

You say old fashioned
I say just roll it
Why fight it when you know you gon' like it
Keep it the same
I'm not the one to blame
When temptation reaches over
Then you just come over

Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
You know you gon' like it
No point in fightin'
You know you have the key
Unlocking is free

I'm goona play my toys
I'm goona play my boys
You watch me from the stage
From the stage
Im gon' play my boys
Im gon' play my tous
You watch me from the cage
From your cage

You say old fashioned
I say just roll it
Why fight it when you know you gon' like it
Keep it the same
I'm not the one to blame
When temptation reaches over
Then you just come over

Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
Get up get up, get up get up
Get up boy
You know you gon' like it
No point in fightin'
You know you have the key
Unlocking is free

Released: 10/6/23

LYRICS

A fancy shirt and a dapper suit.
A girl on your arm years younger than you.
Do everything with style and grace.
Must be easy when you own the place.
A lifetime of confidence, filled with ease.
When you grew up you could be whatever you pleased.
I knew you were a tosser when you entered the room and offered out a cocaine spoon.
Yeah.

Youve got a checkered past filled with selfish deeds.
Expensive habits that your parents feed.
Too many chances a few bites at it, and you've blown them all you fucking hypocrite.
Your pride is at best badly misplaced. You've had every advantage, a fucking waste.
I knew you were a cunt when you entered  the room, and took cocaine from a silver spoon. 
Yeah.

Dress to impress, a shaven face.
A sense of style, that you own this place.
A box of trinkets, a Norwegian loom. 
Objects d'art, a Prince Andrew spoon.
Objects represent your personality.
How you present to the world, what you wanna be.
Took a trip on a hot air balloon. 
A photograph where you hold the moon. Yeah.

You bullshit about your made up past. Everything about you is made of glass 
A scattered approach to relationships. Which you rule over like a dictatorship.
The things you own won't replace the facts, that your a mediocre boring twat.
You lay there crying at the moon, and stir your coffee with a cocaine spoon.
Yeah.

It feels so enlightening.
Their way of expanding.
Their half formed opinions.
Of problems in England.
Their sunglasses shining.
In the greying lightning.
Their lips are revealing.
The lies they are telling. 
The too cool for schooling 
The drug money pooling.
The lives they're ignoring.
Its all so boring.

A golden handshake, though you never worked.
A skiing trip with fellow waxworks.
A trophy girlfriend and a trophy wife. 
A trophy before you started life.
A troubling rumour,  a paid off man.
An empty briefcase, a constant tan.
You had it all, aimed for the moon.
But blew it on your cocaine spoon.
Yeah.

Waiting Too Long

Marco Siri

Nostalgia for Hercule Poirot

Point Made

This track is the second track that will be featured in the upcoming EP. This track draws inspiration from artists like Nirvana, The Blood Brothers, Lana Del Ray, and Geese. It's an upbeat and energetic track detailing how it feels to long for someone even though you might have seen them recently. And how you can feel ill waiting for your love to return.

Lovesickness

Thunder under the road.

This house is just rooms which you filled up with smoke.
(I stand alone).
This house is just room after room full of ghosts.
(Awoken, froze).
An endless parading, masquerading, repost.
(All faded gold)
All empty, delaying, echoing, despairing.
Denying, all-knowing, reborn.

Give me some time.
Give me some kind of love.
Just give me some space with my dreams.
A portent or something arrives from above.
Just give me a moment to breathe.

This house is subconscious, aware of without.
(Into the unknown).
This house has a plan for the brain it's left out.
(Better off gone).
An empty, decaying, unswaying, expanding.
Demanding, backhanding, alive.
Any answers you get are just met with stone silence.
I'm supposed to,
Drag this stone.
Alive.

Give me some time.
Give me something to love.
Just give me some space in my dreams.
A collage or something arrives from below.
Just give me this moment I need.

I'm alone.
Stately home.
Alive.

Give me some time.
Give me all your love.
Just give me the moment I need.
A warning or something, rise up from beneath.
I'll be alright if I just breathe.



Haustraum

In this composition I experimented a reduced number of tracks, thanks to some sound patches which sound very big, like the brass-synths of the Hype Synthesizer.

I used two guitars, the Strat and the half hollow body, Italian made Jacaranda, which has a Telecaster shape and features a warm big single coil pick-up on the neck with sound creamy and lively.

The drums come from the stock instrument samples provided by the MPC bundle.
