Stab

Well It seems that sometimes I don't say what I mean
And I don't mean what I say so
I can't find any sturdy stable stance I'd stick to
The more it goes the more I lose the way
Because I don't get all the rules of the game that we play
It is time to stop skirting around the issue, if you may
Stab me in the earhole
Stab, with all your heart
With a 20 feet pole
And i'll take a fresh start
Sometimes I don't mean what I say
And I don't say what I mean so
She says I am so mean, but I'm not
It is so not what I just said
I never meant to be so mean
to her ever, so you see what I mean,
Do you not ?
Stab me in the earhole
Stab, with all your heart
With a 20 feet pole
And i'll take a fresh start
I want you to say it right to my face
I've been longing for it for too many days
I want you to say it loud and clear
I want you to tell me what I
What I don't wanna hear

Dance with you

coward and silly
and a heavy blindfold
it used to fit me
but pain got me old
The eyes all itchy
the taste of salt
it used to kill me
but I know my fault
I have the right shoes on, now
I want to dance with you
All the blisters are gone
You used to want that too
I was weak and unsteady
Now I need to unfold
I'm finally ready
to share my cold
The eyes all itchy
And hearts are on hold
Each day it strikes me
That you're made of gold
I have the right shoes on, now
I want to dance with you
All the blisters are gone
You used to want that too
I want to dance,
Dance with you
Each day it strikes me
That you're made of gold

Noises

Noises, noises, food for your causes
Voices, voices of fools that take pauses
It might be a good thing to take your eyes off the clock
Rain of rocks
Of bricks and blocks
You climbed my head and killed the moon
Our minds are made of wood.
Acid, acid, colors so vivid
Rancid, rancid, your inside's so flascid
Once standing over the beam
Now beating up, all my dreams
Rain of rocks
Of bricks and blocks
Noises, noises

Golden slavery
05:07

Listen to it
Is what
I've been told
Since I
Was old enough to hear
Listen to it
And I
I did it well
Yeah I
I still do
I know, but I pretend not to
It's easier
I could go, but I prefer not to
It's easier
Listen to it
I've been told to
Look after my golden slavery

Staring at those fake candles hanging
over this tiny bed I'm stuck
even if i wanted to I couldn't do a thing
because I burnt away my luck
I try to move my elbows
and I feel only pain
There is no choice
But pretend we're not insane
when I close my eyes I can just smell your voice
and it's whispering to my brain
that outside are cardboard rainbows
behind black curtains
It's death by a million splinters
How does it feel for you ?
It doesn't matter much
I'm up to my knees in glu
I'm up to my guts in you

A pencil in the water

Like an anvil in a gutter
is how i feel, and i don't like to
Like a pencil in the water
is how i feel, when i'm with you
Too many teeth out it scares me off
It cannot be real, i think i don't like you
Strange whereabouts, i'm kinda lost
What am I doing here, around you
Like an anvil in a gutter
is how i feel, and i don't like to
Like a pencil in the water
is how i feel, when i'm with you
You eat me eat me eat me
alive
Won't you leave me leave me leave me
alone
Like a lamb at the slaughter
is how i feel, maybe i'm willing to
Like an anvil in a gutter, is how i feel
Waiting for you

The sky was blue and so were you
The sun was high and so was I
This last July
A gift to you and a kiss or two,
Your mouth was dry and so was I
You love me in the evening
and you leave me in the morning
and i cry i cry i cry, oh my oh my
and i cry i cry i cry, oh why oh why ?
I did my shit, i sure deserved it
I took the blame and all the shame
This last July
Now we are on and on for long,
I am so pleased you proved me wrong
You love me in the evening
and you leave me in the morning
and i cry i cry i cry, oh my oh my
and i cry i cry i cry, oh why oh why ?
The sky aint blue and we aint blue too
It feels kinda right, it won't be like
This last July
You love me in the evening
and you leave me in the morning
and i cry i cry i cry, oh my oh my
and i cry i cry i cry, oh why oh why ?

Unfair weather friend
07:02

I know you tried your best
but you just don't see the rain
he's heading to
I know he smiles when he sees you
but can't you feel that the wind
will blow at you ?
Something repels
You cannot be (not now, not ever)
You cannot be the unfair weather (not now, not ever)
friend
I know he likes to lay his head on you
but he fools you, and himself
even more
I know he could trust you anytime
But you just can't stop the hail
the storm he's going through
Someone repels
You cannot be (not now, not ever)
You cannot be the unfair weather (not now, not ever)
friend
Nobody can
not now, not ever
Nobody can, anyway
But her

Adam and the Madams Strasbourg, France
Adam & the Madams forms during the spring of 2012, around the music of Adam LANFREY
(voice, guitar, bass) and joined by Cyprien STECK (keyboards) and Arthur VONFELT (drums).
Adam and the Madams recommends:
It's simply wonderful. Oh no wait... It's complicatedly wonderful. They are 2 yet it seems they are a lot more. At least in their heads. Just some great music.

the Hi May Row Hoe EP
by JAIME ROJO
Their melodies kick ass, they all are great musicians and they manage to sound classic, yet so new at the same time. And some of them are my friends from the other side of the ocean.
go to album
DISSOLVE ME
by THE FEELING OF LOVE
I love how they look and sound like they don't give a shit, even if they do. Their music sure is hypnotic, frightful and cheerful at the same time. After all, they are called "the Feeling of Love"!

The gorgeous new dreampop LP from Persica 3 is split into two halves, the first swirling and shoegazey, the latter quieter and moodier.

Incredible psych-rock with an undertone of grunge and a focus on tight songcraft gets a well-deserved vinyl pressing.
