Lyrics:

I lived a lie but I did not die 
played another gig in a big pigsty
I wet my feet but the sock’s still dry
it’s physicality where the laws don’t apply
Uruk-hai makes a bad butterfly
Bing ba-de-bom said B the Magpie
if I tried I could touch the sky
And no one’s never ever gonna ask me why

GIF’s of BFF’s and SEO for LFO’s
FYI it’s LTR (are) we GMO’s god only knows

I’m the navigator
I’m the sailor of the seven seas
I would give you anything you please

You can be my siren
you can lure my boat onto the rocks
Shouting out our love unorthodox

Love Unorthodox

Lyrics:

You must never let them tell you what to think
You must never let them tell you what to do
Aa-aah, no one can take your soul

You must never let them tell you what to feel
You must never let them tell you who to be
Aa-aah, don’t let them take your soul

We are stronger tonight
raise our heads and fight
for a better world

Oo-ah
Fight for it all
Before it’s all too late
Fight for it all
Don’t let us fall so deep
Fight for it all

Fight For It All

Lyrics:

I’ve never felt this way
Speeding through past the stars
The milky way and far beyond

Inside my head it rains
rubies and sapphires 
Supercharge!

Sleep in my arms, my dear
Your heart’s a black hole 
sucking all the love I have to give 
makes us stronger

Space is the place for us
Our gargantuan love
The stars collapse upon our touch

’cause you supercharge my heart
even from light years apart
Supercharge!

Sleep in my arms…

Supercharged

Music & lyrics by M. Pajakkala

Markus Pajakkala - drums, keys

Sonic force ahead 
The meters glowing red 
Prepare to bang your head
Like in the old times

Surrender to the shred
Shout out the things unsaid
Boil away your dread
The time is now

Strip the unnecessary
until you’re left with 
raw power

Best rubbed it in the faces of those who really deserve it
Makes life less of a survival, doesn’t it?

Run!
Hide!
Or join the pit!
The bro’s are back in town

Run!
Hide!
Or join the pit!
The bro’s are back!

You can’t separate the inseparable
They’ll only unite stronger than ever

Aaargh here they come again!

Run!
Hide!
Or join the pit!
The bro’s are back in town

Run!
Hide!
Or join the pit!
The bro’s are back!

The Inseparable

Lyrics:

One night I was walking home, thru the rain I was making my way
It was late and I was tired and it had been a crazy day
But then I heard this sound and I just had to go astray 
And little did I know that I would change my life that day, ’cos there was

’Cos there was A.R.E.T.H.A.
She was bringin’ down the house and she was doin’ it her way
Oh no, you can’t deny no no ’cos everybody knows
That Lady there you know she got that, she got that soul!

Oh tell me
What was I to do but go and sneak into that gig
With a groove like I mean I really I could not help but dig
The band was flying high but we all knew who was the queen
She made the people dance around like nothing you’ve never seen

But then she’d sing the blues 
and bring tears to their eyes
Yeah with the power of that voice
To take us down and back up, up, up, high!

A.R.E.T.H.A!
A.R.E.T.H.A!
A.R.E.T.H.A!
A.R.E.T.H.A!

A.R.E.T.H.A.

I look out on the river
Feeling blue as the water
Another day just didn’t go my way

But when my soul gets weary
There’s only one way to heal me
And no place, no place does it quite as good
As my neighbourhood

‘Cause life ain’t always easy
But it ain’t so bad, it ain’t so bad to have
The Motor City Blues

You want gospel, we got gospel
You want blues? Well, we ain’t no fools
You wanna hear somebody sang?
Just let Thornetta’s do her thang

You got Lady T on 7 mile street
Swinging her hips to the funky beat
And Motown music blaring through the streets
Do you feel it? Do you feel it?
Feel your worries slip away

I said life ain’t always easy
But it ain’t so bad, it ain’t so bad to have
The Motor City Blues

Yeah, the Motor City Blues, the Motor City Blues!

Motor City Blues

Lyrics:

All is fair in love and war and rock ’n’ roll
Nothing is too sacred to write songs about

Spillin’ slime and dirt 
Feelings can get hurt
But that’s part of the game
Life can’t be all lame

Baby just beware
We all deserve our share
Frank says humor does belong in music
yeah

The gate to neverending freedom is in your soul
And you can only make it open with rock ’n’ roll

Open the gates of your mind
Open the gates
