HARD TIMES, HAPPY TUNES LYRICS

ENDLESS PARTY
A story about happy or resigned zombies... you might be one of us.

Once again once again I raise my head
surrounded by a crowd of zombies from Night of the Living death.
Want to know want to know if I am wrong
Trying to get rid so hardly from the kiss of the White Worm.

Thousand arms hanging rotten flesh,
asking me to join the party “come on honey bring your body”.
Never more, not with someone of your kind,
Your peel is so attractive but your pants are full of mud, yeah.

I do know I will not find the true love here
but I don’t have anywhere else to search in.
As the leaves that the Autum drops from the trees
all my feelings will end into the bin, yeah.

Once again once again I’ll have to dance,
a guest in a everlasting party leading to nowhere.
I feel blunt hands clapping at my back,
“Welcome you are one of us you realized at once”

Think the same do the same that High Priest does,
forbidden to be bored mandatory to be glad.
How fool I was falling again in their trap
I can notice their eyes mocking madly from the dark, yeah.

I have ears but he music can not be heard.
I have eyes but there is nothing worth to see.
A silent song with an endless weird guitar riff
will drill my soul for the whole eternity, yeah.


ANYONE I LOVE
Another little song about love complexity.

Loving you is not easy
Loving me is a deed
I can not ask to anyone

Loving you is a pleasure
Loving me is a gift
I can not always recommend

Loving you is so pretty
Loving me is a thrill

I can not ask to anyone I love
I can not ask to anyone I love
I can not ask to anyone I love

The more the love
The more the trouble
The more you give is not the more you get

Can’t ask today
May be tomorrow

I can not ask to anyone I love
I can not ask to anyone I love
I can not ask to anyone I love


SUMMER FREEZE
Based on a personal Summer experience but seem through the filter of an E. A. Poe's well known tale.

Drowned in sticky sweat
Inside the walls of my room
Far is a night of bad dreams
I pray the day won´t be worse

Find myself tied to the bed
The ropes smell rancid beef
is not there a single rat
to feed so sets me free?

I wish it came
a Summer freeze
to cool down from my veins the heat

To bring again to life
this soul of mine

That keeps on dying
under the leady sun,
sent by the rage of the gods
Who have joined to bend my will

The twinkling gleam of a blade
whistling alone in the dark
sticks nails into my head
The pit shines with evil light

Hey Mr. Weatherman
please have mercy of me
when will you send the Summer freeze?

Switch off the Sun til
The end of mankind

I can afford the dark night
The Earth may spin no more time
the oceans might turn into ice
It´s the best the nice for me


THE DOLOROUS KNIGTH
A space & time mismatch. The name is from a real lay from "The Lais of Marie de France", XII century, which inspided a fantastic illustration of William Bradley.

Bring me your ears
you will hear the lay
Of the Dolorous Knigth

The silent voice of Dawn
Makes gently the question
How will you try to get back to the time you miss?

Feel trapped into a time
That belongs you no longer
How many times you´ve been told this is when you live?

You keep on insisting
There is no one to beat you
Whilst you shine your Toledo Steel,

No one will convince you
Your knigth arts are useless
In these times of guns and machines

The ladies of today
They need no protectors
How will you get then the rigth to be lying with her?

You ’re not able to find
People worthy of your lance
What kind of deeds will you run what renown will you get?

You think now retiring
To know joy of living
Apart from this bunch of villains

An old fashioned lover
Feed up of noticing
That you are the last gentleman

Please come back again
Sure we need a man
With heroism deep in vein

Help us understand
How to drive ourselves
In this iron age today


DEAD IN LOVE
Based on the Jean Rollin film "la Morte Vivante", of course about a female vampire. Song title is freely taken from a Théofile Gauthier work "La Mourte Amourouse" (1836), one of my favourite tales.

Everything run nothing but all right
In the silent peace of my cold stone bed
Why did I have to be called again?
Again to the life of my love

Now I like the dead
Much more than the living ones
Who brought me nothing
Nothing but misunderstanding

Please give me your hand
and I’ll stick my fangs in your neck
To prove you the love I
feel so badly for your blood

Won’t you have some mercy of me?
It hurts so much down here
Don’t you see this hard suffering?
I can’t stand my own fear

My nightdress made of glaring silk
Is dyed with leaden tears
Red tears will be always with me
From now towards the years


LIGHTNING BATTLE
The epic poetry of the giant robots destroying Japanese cities at its best... dedicated to the greatest one of all.

Teen girls live laughing
Day after day
Nothing worries them but
Wearing fashion trends

We first world live in peace
We can´t even suspect
Evil is comig through the air
waving the flag of death

What´s that thing flying so high that spits electric fire?
What kind of hell does he come from to destroy all that we love?
A metal monster with three heads moved by atomic power
Who the mad doctor is behind does he want to rule the world?

Army weapons are to him nothing else but toys for children
Expect no mercy sign of hate can be seen deep in his eyes
Why don´t we have another one to become our defender?
Mighty robot, where you are? Don´t you hear the call of fight?

Our peaceful city
lay now on flames
Fire from the Hell is fed
with our people flesh

When everything is lost
Appears a robot shape
Koji´s wasting time
Watching tp your breasts!

Mechanic beasties face to face what a fight is going to take place
Goods and bads in front again to decide future of Earth
Ladies and gents do sit and bet now the price is your own planet
Nothing else for you to do now you’ re in the hands of fate

Who from the robots is the best who from them all is the strongest?
Who shots fire from his chest who drops acid in his breath?
Who is the one who brings behind a sweet and lovely robot lady
To heal from the battle the wounds and become the warrior rest?
