I never thought after all these years, get back here just like this
you gave me chance to live it again, recall what I've missed
no matter whose idea it was to open the box of forgotten childhood
filled with untroubled spirit, taste of a joy and smell of hardwood

Last time when I was here I was Mark from the G-force team 
member of Squadron three-O-eight, cute little boy filled with dreams
now I am here with you my son, or may I say ‘my friend’ 
let's play together, see if we can bring it to life once again

I'll do what I've never tried: 
to tell some stories that I used to hide (like "play it again, Sam") 
Let's play together and let’s fly 
like on a memories kite!

Play It Again

"Orphanage Quiet Walls" is the pre-release single.
Full album "Autumnspring" will be released 23/05/2021, stay tuned :)

Lyrics (Gregory Pe & English Rose): 

Feels like in prison, feels like don't wanna stay
but no power to run no more rhymes to pray
days go in a straight line, simple terms for every play
rules just count down all nights and days

School calls me a rascal, street hardens me everyday
it's all just because I cannot wait
wait to release, to finish this disease
kneeling in the corner on the knees

One day I will spread my wings
one day life will just begin
in my ears still sounds the calls
but so far it stuck between
the orphanage quiet walls

One day I will spread my wings
one day life will just begin

Music: The Junks: Igor Pe (drums) & Gregory Pe (rest)
Recorded & produced by Krzysztof Godycki & Gregory Pe

Autumnspring

Opranage Quiet Walls (pre-release single)

Orphanage Quiet Walls (pre-release single)

No matter how hard you tried to walk by the rules
or how high you flew, how long you fell from the blue
you kept your mouth shut, trying not to move
and tried to save face until you understood
what is the meaning of words "last laugh is on you"?

Does it remind you times, when you’re an innocent child?
without prejudice you could look into the light
I know it sometimes hurts to walk by the rules
either you fly or you fall deep down to the blues
but keep in mind the phrase "last laugh is on you"

Life goes on and on and on...

08 L.L.I.O.Y

It is a fundamental matter of understanding
we all just want to exercise our rights
no matter why conflicts take off or how they’re landing
what we will have, looking back at the end of life

What is the price?
what is the cost of our rights?
will we win?
will we lose this fight?

Does not abandoning the fight for rights mean resignation?
do we go back without raising our voices?
what does hitting the wall without any results taste like?
what is the last cost of explaining our choices?

What is the price?
what is the cost of our rights?
will we win?
will we lose this fight?

07 INCOME STATEMENT

We're all just to be free
or just to be able to "be"
we kneel obediently
our wings are heavy
like lead

We're all just want to be sure
we will win our own rights
but how does it take?
and decisions we make
pushing the pedal of fate
with foot on the brake

Rise the head, cause I can bet
you feel this just like me

I wanna know I wanna see
I wanna finally release - and out - of this rollercoaster
I wanna be sure and a bit secure - release my soul, free me
of my own monster

Just wanna be just wanna see
just wanna know so many things - to know the answers
stuck in a place with frozen face, tired face
of my own monster Monster

06 MY OWN MONSTER

Sick human instincts drag on us for years
two steps forward, and next three to go back
lust for money, for power, lust for having slaves
shows how nasty is the side of human race

It was supposed to be so beautiful
Age of Aquarius would be nice to go on
why do we leave what makes us happy and evolve
lost and gone

Greed for power, wars for profits, violence to humanity
Spirits are drying up and the souls are slowly draining
people die, cultures die, we lose identity
when will we stop losing, when will we start gaining?

Where do we go?
We need no wars!

05 WHERE DO WE GO?

My mother told me "have fun, but I hope you’ll stop it someday ...
with no regret, you’re gonna change, you can live that way on Sunday"
but I'm alive
still alive
until I die
but I'm alive
still alive
I've never really asked her why?

Later, one friend told me: "but you cannot live like this;
impossible to be a punk and in the meantime make career, it's weird"
but I'm alive
still alive
until I die
but I'm alive
still alive
 
I do like those moments, I do believe it
I don't mind
balancing what I get and give
hanging on one hand in monkey's heaven on the tallest tree
there we can meet.

and I’d like to believe
in the worth of way like this
that there're vibes, tastes and sounds
I'm not gonna miss!

I do like those moments, I do believe it
I don't mind
balancing what I get and give
hanging on one hand in monkey's heaven on the tallest tree
there we can meet.

04 MONKEY S HEAVEN

I try to not to watch the faces
of people I don't like (though I don't know them)
I gave up pains to understand why
they look unlike they work (it's different kind of mind)

I try to float above the ground
and not to smell, nor hear their sound
treating my way of life like: feeling better upside down
other way round

I don't want’t’constantly be pushed
obliged to follow the imposed rules (muffled under pressure)
still wants’t’control our freedom
but new times overthrow old fools (it comes new social flexure)

I'm sick of watching sad, angry faces
I'm sick of moods that drag me down
I'm sick of words that make me feel wasted
don't want to run away to Amsterdamn
all the time

03 AMSTERDAMN (OTHER WAY ROUND)

Old prejudice still builds our opinions
like from under tight hood
our state of mind keep based on breeding
breeding from the roots
hardly surprising that we're narrow minded
it took so many years
living according to dumb ideas
order full of fakes

I'm your defeat
I live on the sidelines
I am not your kind
Think for myself
and not as they want to
I just freed my mind

Empty houses and lonely kids
living on the screens
bad school rules and false religions
cause of broken dreams
people want to choose the easiest way
the way to not to choose
to know how possession feels
don't know what they might lose

02 JUST FREED MY MIND

Down to the guts, its vibe’s so good, don't wanna be misunderstood
true power will, shot of young blood, makes you almighty just like a god

I know, you know, we know what’s the truth... 
we know, you know, they know: that is youth!

Life’s like an ocean, surf on the waves, mysterious nights and endless days
make dreams come true, and do what just wanna do, create your own shape of the truth

I know, you know, we know what’s the truth
we know, you know, they know: that is youth!

Reach deep inside, and just listen to your desires
don't be afraid to think loud, light a lot of fires
true power will, shot of young blood
makes you almighty just like a god
true power will, shot of young blood
will make you just like a god damn god!

01 THAT IS YOUTH!

The Junks: krakowskie garaż/punkowe trio: ojciec, syn i stryjo. W sumie mamy koło 100 lat, co odbija się (nam) w stylistyce ;) Ale gramy z serca i żołądka: prosta forma i szczera zawartość, w sam raz dla niewybrednych ;) Na koncie dwa albumy. 
Play loud & endżoy!
