Sonic’s Rendezvous Band
City Slang

Some dirt in my hand
A part of the land
Slip and slide communication
Downtown on the street
They measure the beat
To understand the situation
A taste on the tongue
And no place to run
With all the chances to be taken
The stranger he buys
The angel she flies
My heart is cold just like the nation
Like a dog they kick at night
Gypsy laughin’ but that’s alright
Momma’s cryin’ sister thinkin’
Well you know it’s just city slang

We road in the car
Slept in the car
All the way to the citadel
Slept on the floor
Surfed on the floor
All the way to the coronet
Rock was pissed in Paris
Mad in Madrid
Took the sonic european way
Gary and rock
Sonic and Scott
Meet again up in Ishpeming
When you hear that hammer fallin’
Ain’t no reason to feel left out
Ain’t no reason to call any names
Well you know it’s just city slang

With funky and dog
To minni and mad
All the way to the Aragon
Cleveland and Shi
Ann Harbor, Detroit
All the way back to the second chance
Je sui un son
Un otre son
Qui n’entend qu’une cloche n’entend qu’une son
Je sui le son
Je sui son son
Hey what kind of fool do you think I am
Keep a talkin’ those city dreams
Well you know allright you know what I mean
Detroit, Chicago now New York to L.A.
They all been talkin’ ’bout city slang

Where is the what if the what is in why?

Moloko is a duo who always surprise me. The eclectic taste shown by Mark Brydon when composing and producing the music, mixed by the strangely attractive voice and singing style of Roisin Murphy, always have shown originality and quality in good amounts. The last song that has catched my attention is Where is the what if the what is in why?, with strangely hypnotic rhythm and lyrics, with a music video which is part 70’s psychodelia and part experimental japanese animation. With Nancies. (more…)

Decadence
by Disturbed

Say, yes they know that you’ve hurt yourself another time
Don’t they know that you’re full of pain already?
Yes they know that you’ve hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn’t easy, is it?
Yes they know that you’ve hurt yourself another time
Don’t they know that you’re full of pain already?
Yes they know that you’ve hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn’t easy (more…)

I Am Gothic

The songs that have catched my attention lately are almost all instrumental or with japanese lyrics - something which makes it a bit difficult to post the lyrics of them here. I’d mention Pulsar by Captain Kirk (no, it’s not a joke), or Doll by Terra (from a DDR game). Instead, I’m posting about a slightly old song from 2001, a popish radio hit which, despite its name, has nothing gothic about it. I found it fun, since about the time I discovered this song, I met a gothic too. The song isn’t great, but it’s catchy and fun, and danceable. (more…)

Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

I was today watching Conspiracy Theory when I heard a song that I’ve not listened to in a long time. And that’s a shame, because I totally love that song. It’s none other than Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, and shot to fame by Frankie Valli in 1967. Versioned by people from Pet Shop Boys to Gloria Gaynor. Personally, my favourite is Lauryn Hill’s version. Here you have the lyrics, pay attention to them, I think they’re absolutely beautiful. (more…)
