I can tell by the guitar sound that it was recorded prior to 89 name a track and i'll guess the band old french picture sleeves is one quest that we share take a breath dig in depth no one buys as much as I accumulate fill the room line the walls soon they'll reach the ceiling I'll be a happy boy discount bin to the shelves listening to a few while gazing a the rest underfed memory loss such in poor condition I'm worth half what I was

Home 02:02
thank you for the rhythm thank you for the rhymes now is the time to head back to the place where I belong different school of thought other set of minds makes me want to disappear where I cannot be found and I dream of foreign lands where the bootsteps hit the ground in rhythm with the marching band and I dream of my hometown where dilemmas are no-brainers and paradox a crime thank you for the food lord thank you for the rice came here for a free meal just got out with the awards ill at ease with free speech dread the open land I get struck with dry heaves at the thought of wearing chaps

killing the light colors switching to black and white walking avenues late at night throwing stones at passing cars it feels right having as many drinks as we can smoking cigarette butts in line while we know none of this will last I wish I could tell myself then that one of those days I'll cherish those times if there was one wish I could have I wish we had time to go back in time out in the night colors switching to black and white walking avenues under dime lights throwing stones at passing cars it feels right having as many drinks as we can smoking cigarette butts in line while we know none of this will last

Headless 01:26
one step forward into horror few of them will get to live on plans are made from the start kindergarten to the slaughterhouse and as they wake up they recall there is just rust everything is old brand new start doesn't matter cards have been rigged massacre quick submit to the plan casualties no head of state

pull the plug kill the switch he is done with recording hits his gift is gone he spends his days laying on his hospital bed devoted his life to vintage synths now calls the nurse to take a piss what a drag cut the cord he will likely be running out of AA batteries to please his friends he'll play the keys out of inspiration he'll use the pitch he counts the days his life such shit he got a stoma bag as a birthday gift what a drag unlike a tape reaching its end a life does not rewind itself as you die

the last time we were kids in class you are now offering me hash of course I said so here I am waiting in the gloom of a staircase a fiver for a nickelbag that's some strange conversion rate wait here he says he then runs away as sirens howl around the block and days go on and on me I'm still waiting for some sort of signal kind of sign so what about us ?
7.
we were not ready for it it just came our way withouth an ounce of suspense we were told you were dead no one was ready for it i just it our heads and now we're all together mourning all the same a hidden christian faith a head shaved twice a year red wine and zoot suits plus a slight accent following all your steps we have been many places the Paris central morgue a church in south of France how will I ever fiend a friend who lives his life so well and drums so fast ? As I cry I set the drum-machine on preset 27 so that I write you this song

Back & Forth 02:13
mom pays for my flat dad is buying me briefs I stock all my shit in little Joseph's room if that's independance, well it feels quite good king of my apartment, I still shower at yours your water is so warm that i left my hair in the tub your fridge is clean,imposant and full and eventhough time does not go both ways I am afraid that I must admit I have been going back and forth, lately leader of the pack I do as I please picking cultural content that I'd want you to see you've got to love star wars cause I live for it outgrowing my bed I would rather sleep on the floor than spend the whole day at a furniture store I we share a shoe size I'll be borrowing yours
