===== Lyrics =====

Are you a ghost, are you a memory
Deceive me, child of illusion

I dare not to say, I dare not to say
Goodbye

For you are with me, for you are with me
Always

I dare not to say, too afraid

Chorus
You haunt me, for you are the walking dead

You're just an echoe (repeat)

Penny for your thoughts, Penny for your thoughts
Let me cast it
In shallow water, in the hope
To be better

I dare not to say, say hello
I’m too afraid, to hear an echo

Chorus
You haunt me, for you are the walking dead (repeat until the end)

The Sad and Lonely King

This is a song about getting back out into the world and re-connecting.
We are all part of this planet if we like it or not and we have to live with it and try to survive ,nature has ways of making us remember this and sometimes its a hard lesson to learn ,but there is still a world of wonder and much to see,feel and discover on our journey though life

Misty Mountain Hop (Led Zep Cover)- Telefan And Nick

In 2020 we all needed a trapdoor from the world. Here's to 2021!
Lyrics:
I'm not holding out much hope
Just wait down here 
Until you hear the footsteps just slowly disappear
Looking for your own little hideaway from the world?
Make yourself a trapdoor
And drop out of the universe
(Trapdoor)
A side door, that's what you need to do
A side door to pop in and out through the world
Wait down here with me
Just wait until you hear the footsteps disappear
(Trapdoor)
You've got make a trapdoor
Got to see where it goes
It down a long alleyway
It takes you Into a big city with lots of cars and cabs
(there's no cabs no more, what are you talking about?)
You never seem to go
You're drinking toxins in a cup
Hey Baby, don't you know about the divinity of throwing up?
I've seen so many good intentions gone bad 
Like you'll never know!
Yeah (come on) make you're best intention known
I know I'm an acquired taste
That's what you got to do
Set yourself a trapdoor from the world
Trapdoor from the world
Set yourself a trapdoor
Trapdoor (that's what you're looking for!)
That's what you've been looking for your entire life
It's come to fruition!

Trapdoor (from the world)

Venus on The Half Shell

Verse 1:
Botticelli had a dream
He had a vision
It flowed like a stream
Because of his decision

To paint a woman so fair
None would doubt her beauty
He could not paint her on air
Should he show her booty?

Chorus 1:
Venus newborn
In Greek mythology
Not in science
Or in anthropology

Verse 2:
Proudly displayed at Uffizi Gallery
In Florence it pays many a salary
An icon of the Italian Renaissance
So famous with a great response

You stand so tall and large
With your long flowing lines
Seeing you is such a tall charge
Best some very fine wines

Chorus 2:
Venus newborn
In Greek mythology
Nude on the giant scallop
Not on a horse at gallup

Verse 3:
Were you for the Medici family 
Or someone else entirely
For some this is agony
For me its not even in my diary

Inspired by the Sistine chapel?
So much beauty in Rome
Or perhaps it was eve’s apple
That drove you home






2 Poems about Venus:

1.
Venus Transiens
BY AMY LOWELL
Tell me,
Was Venus more beautiful
Than you are,
When she topped
The crinkled waves,
Drifting shoreward
On her plaited shell?
Was Botticelli’s vision
Fairer than mine;
And were the painted rosebuds   
He tossed his lady
Of better worth
Than the words I blow about you
To cover your too great loveliness   
As with a gauze
Of misted silver?

For me,
You stand poised
In the blue and buoyant air,
Cinctured by bright winds,
Treading the sunlight.
And the waves which precede you   
Ripple and stir
The sands at my feet.



2.
Her eyes draw a heavenly peace to mind,
Where the green color of the sea doth dwell.
Her face is a beauteous wishing well,
Which reveals her splendor to all mankind.
Her golden hair gently blows in the wind,
As she sails across the sea on a shell.
Any attentive viewer's eyes can tell
That her figure was carefully designed.
Zephyr and Chloris continue blowing
Their perpetual winds over her head.
The pink flowers of beauty keep flowing
Across the landscape in which she is led.
Towards the shoreline her seashell keeps going,
As the Hora of Spring robes her in red.

Venus On The Half Shell

CHORUS
She's got an itch, an itch you can't scratch

All what they're saying is just harmless playing
And is not going to sway my opinion
I don't wanna go there, its a disease ridden thoroughfare
You can tell from the colour there that its festering

CHORUS

A badge from the drunken night cuz sex is my kryptonite
I'm all puss and talking shite but I'm sizzling
Hold my breath I'm going in, jump headfirst so lets begin
I drank two thirds of a bottle of gin thanks  a million

CHORUS

For goodness sake you've started flacking
Its crispy bacon

Somethings on fire I'm certainly no crier
But I've warts n all I'm no liar its a big mistake
Three hours of pleasure - I took a fourth for good measure
Now I'm having a seizure and some skin flake

CHORUS

For goodness sake you've started flacking
Its crispy bacon
Pass the water, its Satan's daughter
I shouldn't oughta

CHORUS

Itch

'Big Brother'

Love Away

No one can treat my heart right
Keeping it tight
Dealing with fight
No one can treat my heart right
Keeping the sound
Rewind

No one can treat my heart right
Keeping it tight
Dealing with fight
No one can treat my mind right
Keeping the sound
Rewind

Dollar game
Feelings grain
No oneﾕs calling ﾒsweetie", damn
Are you gonna leave?

Seeing through the tears
Of wine
Keeping secretly all fads
In bar

Chilling in my undies
Staring at the rain
What i have been hiding
My eyes behind the screen

Make me breathe in
The poisoned amber
Of the darkest days
Youﾕre leaving me here

Thanks for indulging my weird ideas Bitzone, you are the best!

This song is part of an LP of 12 songs that I made with Stricknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou & The Wormling (and many other friends who you all know on SoundCloud) from a massive set of demo tracks that Wou-Wou graciously passed on to me. Basically, this LP worth of songs was an early pandemic gift cause I had a little extra time on my hands to make music! I was originally going to release all the songs in one long track but one of my muses kept telling me to release this song on its own and I eventually succumbed to her wishes. I am massively grateful for all the work Stricknice, Bitzone, and Wou-Wou put into this big project. There may be more songs from this project that trickle out before the whole set is released. It was super cool to finally work with Bontender on a song. I have been a big fan of his indie rock sound for a long time. Bonetender rocks!!! 

This song goes out to all the loners, weirdoes, freaks, and geeks out there. Who cares what society wants you to be. Be yourself and you just do you! There are plenty of normal people in the world already.

Lyrics

Watching you out the corner of my eye 
Memorize your schedule to pass by
Feeling your energy get closer to intensify
Don’t think I’m a creep I’m really a nice guy

Why can’t I just walk up and say hi
I’d rather watch you from the wall like a fly

Ghosting out of my Generation 

Watching you out the corner of my eye
Seeing you finally here to pass by
Inhale your scent to remember I retry
Don’t want to think I’m a creep so I lie

Why can’t I just walk up and say hi  
I’d rather stay up against the wall like a fly

Ghosting out of my Generation 

Watching you out the corner of my eye
Waiting all day for you to pass by
Feeling you brush against me I electrify
Don’t think I’m a creep I’m really a nice guy

Why can’t I just walk up and say hi
I’d rather watch you from the wall like a fly

Ghosting out of my Generation

Lyrics:
We came to this world
with tears and hopes
If we are lucky we can grow up like the child we should be

We fall and we learn 
Time will tell you how (not to lose your mind)  
And spread your wings…

Smile! not because you feel it
But because they need it 
Smile! even when you are broken
They don’t want to know it
In this sick society
You wont’ be worthy enough, no, no, not worthy enough

We grow up in flames
fighting for someone else
I am so sure we can do more than keep breathing
Stuck in the middle of nowhere to go
Tryin’to find yourself

My silent scream
Only stars know who you truly are
My silent scream
There must be another path to follow

Smile, not because you feel it
But because they need it 
Smile, even when you are broken
They don’t want to know it
In this sick society
You wont’ be worthy enough, no, no, not worthy enough

Smile! not because you feel it
But because they need it 
Smile! even when you are broken
They don’t want to know it
In this sick society
You wont’ be
You wont’ be…

This sick society is killing me
Smile! not because you feel it
But they need it 
Even if you are broken

In this sick society
You wont’ be
You wont’ be
You won’t be worthy enough 
Worthy enough!

Keep on smiling as if nothing had happened…
As if nothing had happened…

Wounds

Wounds (feat. Aida Deturck)

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)
