LYRICS

Blink and you’ll miss it
I’m half flesh and code
When civilization loses composure
Where else is left to go?

There’s pre--
And there’s post--
Is that all?

When the stencil economy collapses,
Where does it fall?

Blink and you’ll miss it
Slept through another year
Social security and manicured lawns
Through a dusty window sheer

It’s not that my visions innate to me
Consist of what’s outside
I’ve been the kind to hedge my bets
Didn’t think that I’d be right

Flesh and Code

Dreams (Fleetwood Mac cover)+ Cincinnati Clocks (TheSunManager EP Launch Bootleg)

here's a song i wrote for my band Boldstar.

TANGERINE

No one understands me
I'm so used to this routine
I'm never seen
No one really hears me
I'm just here to fill the scene
Smoke the screen

Tangerine
You're exposing all the answers
Everyone misunderstands just what you mean
Caught between
Red and green
Tangerine

Every one's so jaded
Heaven knows what they have seen
They're so mean
I get so frustrated
Everything is so obscene
So unclean

Tangerine
You're exposing all the answers
Everyone misunderstands just what you mean
Caught between
Red and green
Tangerine

Tangerine
You're exposing all the answers
Everyone misunderstands just what you mean
Tangerine
It's not really complicated
It's a fully automated light machine
Caught between
Red and green
Tangerine


Jazz Nicolas - Tangerine

Waray ha atun makukurian
[Wala sa atin mahihirapan]
Kun pirmi titigamnan
[Kung laging alalahanin]
It mga balaud para hit atun kauswagan
[Ang mga alituntunin para sa ating pag-unlad]
Hunahunaa hin maupay it im mgaplano, madi
[Isipin nang mabuti ang mga plano, mare]
Paningkamut basi diri magbasul, padi
[Magsipag para di magsisi, pare]

II
Waray gud napaperdi ha am
[Walang nagpapatalo sa amin]
Bis pa magkuruankuan
[Kahit ano pa man ang mangyari]
Talagudti nga piktaw harayo't kakadtuan
[Maliliit na hakbang malayo ang mararating]
Padayon la pagpinanngusog, madi
[Ipagpatuloy ang pagsisikap, mare]
It bugas magiging bulawan gihap, padi
[Ang bigas magiging ginto din, pare]

Chorus:
Idoy, uday, burugbligay kirita nga tanan
[Iho, iha, magtulungan tayong lahat]
Ipakita na't ha ira nga waray hibabayaan
[Ipakita natin sa kanilang walang maiiwan]
(Igrayhak it kalipay ha bug-os ngakalibutan)
[Ipagdiwang ang kagalakan sa buong mundo]

Idoy, uday, higugmaay, urupod nga tanan
[Iho, iha, magmahalan, sama-sama lahat]
Kaupay la gumuliat nga diri pa kita human
[Kaysarap ipagsisigaw na 'di pa tayo tapos]
(Magkusog gud la gihap kita nga mga Waray-waray)
[Malalakas/matitibay pa rin tayong mga Waray-Waray]

III
Waray man data it karuyag
[Walang silbi ang mga kagustuhan]
Kun diri kinahanglan
[Kung hindi naman kailangan]
Ay pagtapud nga bulawan it im ginkakaptan
[Wag kang kampanteng ginto ang iyonghinahawakan]
Kun diri ka maghinay sus(!), kanugun la, madi
[Kung hindi ka mag-ingat, naku(!), sayanglang, mare]
Pagtirok bangin ka maimuran, padi
[Mag-ipon baka maubusan ka pa, pare]

IV
Waray ha atun malilisang
[Wala sa 'tin matataranta]
Kun diri nim mangalimtan
[Kung hindi mo makalimutan]
Igtirok it im pamilya ngan mga kasangkayan
[Tipunin ang iyong pamilya at ang iyong mgakaibigan]
Pagtuun hin mga diri nim aram han hadi
[Pag-aralan ang mga hindi mo alam noon]
Para mas magtikakarit, padi, madi
[Para mas gumaling, pare, mare]

Idoy, Uday (with Kitchie Nadal)

Lyrics by Mariah Reodica and Paolo Arciga

What am I to do when I want nothing new
And all I wanted was you in different shades of blue

But things don’t go that way
In every shade of grey
And I belong on this side of the sea

We’re tired and all we ever wanted
All we ever needed was to shed a bit of light

What am I to do when I can’t get through to you
Try to paint you off in black when you left me just with shades of blue

Different Shades of Blue (Album Version)

One time, we played patintero on Guijo street, but instead of people trying to catch people, it was our bassist Dom* saving us from moderately slowly passing cars by aggressively pushing us off the road. Fortunately, because Dom risked life and limb to save us, there were no casualties.
